Weighty inspiration

Once again, with the weather change, it's time to return to weight lifting. I use the following post (originally published on June, 2006) for inspiration ... Jim

I used to take pride in the fact that I could squat 495 pounds back when I was a fit professional bicyclist.

Now I read on Sportsline.com that Pat Robertson can leg press 2,000 pounds. Even given that performing a leg press is much easier than squatting, leg pressing 2,000 pounds has to be much harder than squatting 495. Impressive! Of course Pat is 76 and I was 26 - even more impressive. I guess I'll take the next 32 years (I'm 44 now) to see if I can catch him. Go Pat!
