“Torres blasted through sets of 15, five pounds on each ankle”

Author Tries To Compete With Olympian Dara Torres (ABC News, 2009-05-28)

The writer describes her visit in the previous spring in an article published on 2009-05-28, so the feat year is 2008. The source states 15 repetitions with 5 lb on each ankle. The load fields are null because the source gives each ankle load and does not state a total added load. The exercise name preserves the exact loading condition. This is a weighted set, not a bodyweight-only pull-up record.
