Dude was huge and had the Fabio hair going on. Squats, presses, he was a god! LOL I heard he went on to be a Kindergarten teacher.

I don't know why this popped up in my head, but I suddenly had this mental image of charlie with long blonde locks lifting a bar with a buffalo on each side. :surprised: sometimes...I scare myself. -------------- There is no pain.

	2004/08/24, 03:23 PM I use the non-olympic bar and when I squat with 400 lbs it is as bent as Kerry's and Bush's perceptions of their respective military careers. cupcake and prictchard, I don't workout with the buffalo. I only dance wit them and share their water trough. -------------- Dances with Buffalos Charlie

Thats pretty good though almost 2x his body weight, for reps -------------- if you kick a tiger in the @$$ , you then have to descide what to do with the teath end. any guy can hold a girl by the hand, but only the select few can hold her by her feet!

I see freaks at my gym hit that all the time with a couple guys that I seen hit 12 plates total; the bar had a nice little bend with the plates making music clanging together lol. Also, how many reps did he do with that weight?

This one time I saw this guy doing squats, and he had lost a leg to infection. He was doing one-legged squats. I was impressed. Next? LOL -------------- I will never grow up, just old. Jonathan
