My buddy is strong as hell, and always trained as a powerlifter.
Problem is, he was a DI football player, and wasn't exactly a stud at that level. He never really played much, so now he thinks he'll suck at lifting.
He's obviously the strongest guy at his gym, but his reply is "yeah, I'm strong for this little gym...but have you seen the freaks out there? Andy Bolton is deadlifting 1,000lbs!"
So, he thinks his 750 dead would look tiny in comparison....I can't convince him that not ALL powerlifters are that strong.
I need to just get him to a meet, so he can see how well he'd do.
