Gotta feel for the people sitting behind him as he was bent over getting ready for the lift...

He'd make a real good doorman.

Serge was a librarian, which for some reason was a popular career for some weightlifters. If anyone is interested, you can read more on him here - http://www.reocities.com/colosseum/field/7342/Srtext.html .

The film Visions of Eight has a nice portion on the weightlifting at the '72 Olympics, which was the last one that the Clean and Press was contested -

The first video is from 1971, if you watch the 72 video, you can see that Serge was off his game. It was from a combination of injury and nervousness. A lot of lifters were nervous and upset because the terrorist attacks happened just a bit before. A lot of lifters had a rough time at that Olympics, it was Ken Patera's last one too.

Here was a another pretty lift by Serge -

i wonder how strong someone like paul white aka the big show really is. I've heard stories of him turning over cars before. He's bigger than the biggest strongman right now Brian Shaw so...

Thats crazy, imagine one of these behemoths in a fight where they are just going into hulk mode. It would be almost an unstoppable force of epic proportions.







That is, if we didn't have a wildcard to play:
