i was looking through an old mag S&H and saw a pic of old karl norberg doing a front barbell hold with a 100 lb barbell ,karl was said to be 74 years old at the time. it said no one ever did one of these holds with a olympic bar and two 45 lb plates or 135lbs. lets see one of youse guys do this and post a pic than i'll be impressed. more so than your usual witty rheteroic impresses me.

as sean connery said in the league of extradodniary gentlemen, i'm still waiting to be impressed, so get out your cell phones and record your feat, or don't no one really train here?

will doing a set of 10 reps military press with that be sufficient?...(hardly a feat of strength standing with 135lbs above head)

pic is above of norberg guy was a real freak of nature, he almost outlifted john grimek in an exhibition and norberg had never seen a barbell to that point in his life. see grimek article on the strongest man he ever knew.
