I've grown to like O'hearn's lies, he gives you a little truth with the lie mixed in. For instance he did have a very good competition Powerlifting total in the mid 1700's, and won some things. But it was in a smaller fed, in one of the big ones, he'd be maybe a top 100 guy back then.
Also, he bragged on having a Martial Arts Lifetime Achievement award, and that's true, but it isn't for fighting, it's for humanitarian work -

The humanitarian work? Stuff like this -

He visited those kids like once, and used the pics for a decade.

Another one I don't like from the Powerlifting world is that Bell invented the Slingshot? He only invented it because he patented it. The history of those things is more like this - Bench shirts were expensive $150-300, hard to get into, and prone to ripping. So guy's would take old ones and cut them down to get more use out of them. Guys like Chris Taylor cleaned up the design with his "Bench Strap", but he never gave them much though, it was just something he'd do for friends -
.
Bell came later.
