Barack Vil Puuuuumpp You UUUUUUUUUUPPP
« on: July 31, 2008, 11:18:09 AM »
This is beyond hilarious!  At least this German report isn't trying to front with her crush on Obama.  hahahahaha   I'm definitely not voting for Obama in November, but props to him if he can "really" curl 70lb dumbbells.  lol I'd like to see this to believe it though.

NOTE:  the bolded text is in the original piece!


BILD meets Barack in gym before historic Berlin speech
  I worked out with Obama!

HE CURLED 32 KILO DUMBBELLS NEXT TO ME  +++ BARACK IS TOP FIT +++ HE DIDN'T SWEAT AT ALL
By Judith Bonesky
bild.de

As thousands waited at the Sieges Saule monument in Berlin to hear Obama’s sensational speech, a BILD reporter met Barack all alone – in the gym! Here's the incredible account of Judith Bonesky’s meeting…

It's 16:02pm and I’ve been training in the gym of the Ritz Carlton hotel in Berlin. A man in a suit approaches me and says: "Barack Obama is about to come and train ...“ Shortly after half past four and he actually arrives! Barack Obama is wearing a grey t-shirt, black tracksuit bottoms – and a great smile!

"Hi, how’s it going?“ asks Obama in his deep voice. My heart beats. "Very good, and you?" I say. Obama replies: "Very good, thank you!"

Obama (with toned arms and a strong back) puts on his headphones for his iPod to listen to pop music. He hums quietly. Then he jumps on a fitness bike. He pushes three times on the pedals – but then can’t be bothered with it.

He goes and picks up a pair of 16 kilo weights and starts curling them with his left and right arms, 30 repetitions on each side.  Then, amazingly, he picks up the 32 kilo weights! Very slowly he lifts them, first 10 curls with his right, then 10 with his left. He breathes deeply in and out and takes a sip of water from his 0,5 litre Evian bottle.

Shortly before five o’clock Obama comes over and sits directly next to my cross-trainer on the mat. First he does 10 sit-ups, then stretches. Then he looks at his watch and says to his bodyguard: “It’s time, let’s go.” Quickly I ask: “Mr. Obama, could I take a photo?”. “Of course!” he answers, before asking my name and coming over to stand next to me.

 “My name’s Judith” I reply. "I’m Barack Obama, nice to meet you!” he says, and puts his arm across my shoulder. I put my arm around his hip – wow, he didn’t even sweat! WHAT A MAN!



Here's the reporter standing with Sen. Obama:

I call bullshit on the 32kg curls

Why not just say that he finished up with a 500 bench for 10 reps

I'm guessing something got lost in translation

I'd believe 32lb curls for 10

Really?  Do you have a link?  I'd like to watch.  I picture him as a shorter version of Manute Bol on the court.   :)

maybe this works

Cool.  Thanks.  The kid guarding him wasn't very good, but I agree Obama looked pretty good.  He has some skills.

I have no clue the conversion.  how many pounds is that? 

obama is a skinny guy.

but, being athletic at 47 years old (?) and playing ball as much as he does, he probably has some decent strength.  I play ball on the playground a few times a week, and I see 130 pound kids that are all sinew.  You can push them over obviously, but they are pretty strong from all the ball.  I'm guessing afte ra guy plays basketball consistenyl for 35 years, as Obama has, he has some strength.

Plus obama lives on chicken, rice, and broccoli, and is very health conscious, so he probably takes his vitamins.

So you can see Barack Obama curling 70lb dumbbells for 10-12 reps?

With shitty form, sure.

I curl the 60s with very clean form.

Plus being a millionaire and a senator, he's got the best healthcare in the world.  Would gh really be that far out of the question?  If you have celebrities and CEOs using it to stay alert, strong, and vibrant, why not politicians too?

lol, ya got a point there, kiddo. 

I just know how spent I am after doing a set of 10-12 on seated dummbell preacher curl with 70's.   That's what makes me think the numbers were being ballooned.
