GARYC24 3 #1 November 4, 2004 24hr fitness. We have guy that is sort of slow,possibly mental problem..but a good guy. He walks around rolled up sleeves, chrome sunglasses like something Elvis will wear. Does alot of walking back and forth..just to give example of his actions at the gym.He is very humurous when he is there.(not a bad thing, we all like him) Well..last night he had 5-1/2 stacks of weight on barbells stand to do squats. Everyone was keeping and eye on this guy for 1/2 hr! or more..while he is getting psych-upped!. He did it 5 times..495 lb..Almost every single person applauded him!..It was so amazing! Everyone at gym was impressed and almost teary eyed of his 495 lb squats! He was so proud! That's what it's all about! Just wanted to share this story..Ya just had to be there to experience the love for this guy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PrairieDoug 0 #3 November 4, 2004 Good story... at first I thought you were going in a different (negative) direction with it. I've often said that it's good to be underestimated --then it has more impact when you succeed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #4 November 4, 2004 That's cool! 495 on a squat is nothing to cough at, for 5 reps is a good set. That's cool.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
