:D

Sad part is that by using that suit, you can't take him seriously. It's like listening to a kid playing grownup who just raided daddy's suit wardrobe.  ;D

LOL!

Dude, he had some of the strongest legs of all time and even challenged professional weightlifters. He was able to squat 315 for 60 reps in his prime and 525 for 23 reps, so STFU.

Tom is a hugely inspirational guy. Lives life with the enthusiasm of a child.

That was thirty years ago when he did 525 for 23 reps.
What's he weigh now? 150?  Maybe. 315 for 15?  Nope

I'm not far off Tom's age
I can manage 315 for 10/12 reps full reps on back squats
And 6/8 on front squats.
So I believe Tom would be Well capable of that.
