Roark Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 That may be about the same size platform Paul Anderson used. Sure doesn't look like it weighs 1,800 lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Van Weele Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Thanks Clay. Warren Tetting told me about some crazy farmer walk he did with a pair of 100lb db's. I don't recall distance but I guess it was a few city blocks and up a few flights of stairs. It may have been at the old York headquarters. That rings a bell.

Roark Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Matt, That story can be found in Muscular Development Apr 1971 p 54: David carried a pair of 100 lbs dumbells around the corner, up 3 flights of stairs, and placed them on a rack. It was also mentioned that he could perform a right hand chin while holding 35 lbs in his left hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
