Pat Robertson - WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN!

[Tony Christopher]

Forget Savickas, Marunde, Pudz ... even Mark Henry, Kaz or Ed Coan.

The strongest man in the world is 76-year-old conservative evangelist PAT ROBERTSON.

Here's indisputable proof:

So do you think it's his secret protein concoction or PURE GOD POWER, BABY!?

[Ben Booker]

That is narly for a 76 year old guy, but did you see the one with that lady from the supreme court doing a ton of weight for her age.

[Chris McNatt]

They video taped the 1000lbs one, so why is there no 2000lbs video tape? and why are his hands touching his knees and why are the "safety rails' still up?

[Jesse Noell]

Is this along the same lines as that little girl who "hack squatted" 400 pounds on a Letterman or something? Where the little girl went down about an inch then "pressed" it back up?

[Jere' Trevent]

The safety lock is holding it I place while he sits his legs up. He ain't pressing it!

[Tony Christopher]

I still think it's that protein concoction.

Real life "JESUS JUICE"! :FF:

[Alex Devenyi]

If he's using this same machine to leg press and 1000 barely fits on there, how can he do 2000?

:BB:

Leg pressing more than 1000 pounds isn’t necessarily "Herculean" as that strength coach would have the reader believe. I did 10 plates for reps when I was 18. Yet, a 73 year old man hammering 2000 would be impressive. I have never liked people talking about leg pressing as a max effort exercise in the first place though. About a month ago my orthopedic surgeon was telling me about “the strongest guy ever” who played on his football team who could leg press “1200 pounds” he told me he never understood why he didn’t go pro with that strength. I wanted to tell him prob. because he never squatted…..but I digress.

I'm calling bullshit on all of this. First, leg pressing a grand is hardly a "herculean effort". There are tons of people who can leg press 1,000 but yet are absolutely buried alive by a 315 lb. squat. We call them pussies. Most of the populus refer to them as personal trainers. Secondly, why in hell does a football school possessing such distinction as Florida State even keep track of a leg press record? Who gives a damn? That's like having a bench press contest on a smith machine (or a bench contest on a regular flat bench for that matter). Last but not least, Pat Robertson is not religious. He's frickin' insane. How many times have him and other crazy bastards like Oral Roberts gone off on tyrants about how they saw a 900 ft. Jesus across the United States?


Does anyone else find it funny that the news media is so mezmorized with how much celebrities and other prominent figures can leg press? In the past few months alone, we've had articles posted mentioning how much Madeline Albright, Sasha Cohen, and now Pat Robertson can leg press.

Nobody would be that suprised by a televangelist, especially Pat Robertson of all people, lying through their front teeth though would they?

Or is that just me being cycnical again?

Ho hum...
