So this old guy comes into the gym...

[SevenStar]

We had all seen this guy before - he's the groundskeeper. He rolls around the complex in a golf cart picking up, supervising other grounds activities, etc. Anyway, he comes into the gym, see the group bench pressing and says "I'm catching up to ya" He then asks if he can work in. He does. And benches 275. Not a huge deal...except for the fact that this man is 68. I hope I'm that strong when I'm 68!

[rubthebuddha]

holy ****ing ****. :eek:

i'll be lucky if i'm putting up 275 by this time next year. ah well. :(







betcha his hands are bigger than ironfist's, though. :D

[norther practitioner]

Right on..

I wish I could do that at 25..

I'm starting to work my chest out again... (need to get rid of my minor case of man boobs).

[SevenStar]

I'm tellin ya - the guy is a machine - slow reps, perfect form...

[Toby]

Awesome. He must've felt good too, showing up the young guys.

[rubthebuddha]

after showing y'all up, he probably told you to get off his lawn.

stupid kids. :mad:





pure poetic justice that he's the groundskeeper. :D

[Tak]

Ach, that's the last time you'll slap your Willie aroond!

Bro, didn't you make a thread once about how it p.issed you off when people in the gym talk about how much they "used to be able" to bench?

:D

[SevenStar]

Yeah, but almost be scared to say that to this guy...:D

[SevenStar]

he did 300 yesterday. This guy has to be the result of some military genetic experiment.

[Meat Shake]

Wow.
Sounds like a beast.
Im having a hard time working past 245.

[omarthefish]

Is this the powerlifting/bosybuilding equivalent to:

"And then one night while practice his sword in the courtyard and old man dressed rather shabbily came through the doorway and . . . "

:D

OLD MAN STRENGTH.

he's vegetarian.Cmon then ya f:ckers...! Where're all you punks who line up to deride vegetarians every time there's one of these threads now then?

Of course, I've always believed there are as many kinds of digestive system as there are fingerprints (well, divided by 10!) so it doesn't really prove anything... but still...

Vegetarian = more meat for me.

My biggest problem with vegetarians is cooking for them- stock is ok, stock isn't ok, lacto-ovo-pesco vegetarians, lacto-ovo vegetarians, vegans, macrobiotics, kosher macrobiotic vegans, raw foodies. It gets really old, really fast. Cooking vegan is like trying to do calligraphy with mittens on- possible, but frustrating if you don't do it regularly.

Are you sure it isn't Bill Pearl?

wasn't he ovo-lact vegetarian?

[stricker]

Awesome, sounds like someone i know who's like 60 now but been weightlifting for years and years, dunno any stats mind, but he's strong as hell, and vegetarian.

Hey andrew - is it the person or the diet that's the p-i-t-a lol?
