In the old days, a guy named Jamie Taylor (maybe 5'7, 225) doing bent BB rows with 405 and military's with 305. I was much younger and a lot smaller then, so I was easily impressed. Toxic, you ever hear of him?

I also saw a chick who was obviously new at the lifting game slide a 45lb plate off the bottom holder and onto her toe. It literally took what seemed like 2 full seconds before the signal hit her pea-brain and then she was crying her head off.

my buddy's dad is 46 years old, hasn't trained in years. back in his highschool days, he placed second in states in wrestling, only to be kicked off the team the following year. the guy always told us stories of his strength, and i always remained rather dubious. he apparently benched 350 at a bodyweight of 128 during his senior year. well, today he weighs 154 at a height of 5'2", with a moderate gut. his son, my best friend and genetic freak, got a set of weights in the garage as a birthday gift. one day while we were messing around with them, his dad came in, loaded 280 on the bar and pumped out an easy 12 reps. the guy does not train, he is just a natural animal.

true,most dudes in the gym cant do 12 reps with 280 even at heavier bodyweights.of coarse you have the crowd that can do it easily but most dudes cant

A discus thrower for our school front squatted 405 for reps. He was around 235-240. Genetic wonder, could also run a 11 second 100 meters, whcih for his size was impressive.

Had a jumper that used to do 48" box jumps.

i go to a gym that has a lot of powerlifters and one day last week one of the bigger guys was in there and i have seen this guy do 645 for three so i knew he was really strong so he is close gripping 465 for sets of three with some hundred pound bands on each side like it is nothing i thought that was pretty impressive

I saw a guy, whose one leg was amputated from the knee down, come into the gym on crutches. He went over to the squat rack, threw 245 on the bar and did one legged squats for 10 reps with no spotter. It was an awesome display of strength and balance.

i was training some strongman events at a gym we used to go to and tried the farmers walk for the first time with 225 in each hand and picked them up and got about 6 feet with them, haha, then a couple of guys who had been training these events for a while picked them up like they were nothing and literally started running with them, i couldn't believe it, they fininshed a 120 meter course with them in 18 seconds.

The world record for the 100 metre sprint is 9.77 seconds and you're saying these guys did 120 metres in 18 seconds with 225 in each hand...

...somehow I doubt it.

i'm sorry that was a typo, i meant 120 feet, that's still pretty damn good carrying 450lbs.
