the little speech @ the beginning of that vid was a bit much...

You're a strong little dude. The deadlift was almost 3X your bodyweight!

I don't think you have to verify the plates are real on a 225lb bench though.

Video was in response to the comment left by 65FASTBACKMAN.

Invented the most amazing abdominal workout. Put a 2 lb ball between your ankles and do a reverse crunch type motion but in a wave like fashion. Also using the ball, rotate your legs in a wind shield type motion for obliques. WIN!
