At 69, Linda Franklin is the strongest woman in the world in her age and weight class. She has type 1 diabetes, survived melanoma, and has battled multiple injuries—and just put up her best total ever. And until her early 60s, Linda had never even picked up a barbell.

In this first episode of That Badass Broadcast, we talk about training for longevity, managing setbacks, competing at the highest level, and what it means to keep getting stronger, both physically and mentally.

Whether you're a new lifter or a seasoned competitor, you’ll appreciate this honest conversation about strength, resilience, and showing up—long after most people think it’s “too late.”
