Many years ago, my buddy saw the Warlord train. This was in a hardcore (steroid-dealing) powerlifting gym in which 500+ lb. bench presses were seen with some regularity, and it was not easy to do something "special" by the standards. But, everybody stopped and watched in amazement while "Big Terry" trained.
I wish I could remember some of the numbers my buddy told me. I'll have to ask him sometime.
