Never mind that this is ~700 lbs. more than the world record or that he is 72 years old, or that it would burst the capillaries in the eyes of a normal human. Pat swears it is true. I read a funny article about this in Time recently. Here is another one:

Did you think Pat meant that he did it all at once? It is a cumulative total. 10 lbs. a day, that's all it takes.

Nope. One time. Photos and video to prove it.

As much as I would like to watch that entire scintillating video I can't tear myself away long enough from Hoya coug and All-American's disucssion about the object of Hebrew verbs that may be incorrectly translated to do so. I do note however, that the link to the video states that it shows him only pressing 1,000 lbs. Must have been a warm-up.

It's my impression that ole pat has popped more than a few vessels in the past (let's see . . . ad hominem negative?) and so is unlikely to be bothered by a few more giving way when he demolishes the Florida State leg press record by more than 5 MikeWaters.
