a funny comment by an olympic announcer

[Mr. Destiny]

I could have heard this wrong, but I'm pretty sure I heard one of the announcers proclaim "he benches 2 plates a side for 6!," about one of the bobsled guys. That's like what... a one rep max of 260-270. I mean it's pretty good but nothing phenomenal, judging by the announcers excitement it should have been 325 for 6 ha ha. Anyways I got a kick out of that.

Kind of reminds me of this kid in the gym today, telling his friends about the HUUUGE guy, his cousin who "picked me up and carried me, and I'm 220." Then he goes on to say in awe that this guy warmed up with 60's for dumbbell shrugs. Hoo boy, I can't imagine anyone that strong.

When I heard a guy claiming to be 220 surrounded by all these little guys I had to turn around and look. Sure enough, about 6'1", 220 at around 24% bf.

he gotta be weak. i only weigh 160 at 5'8 and would do 60s or more for warmup shrugs. i'll do sets of 10 up to 100-105.
