From, again, ThinkProgress:

"Clay Travis at CBS Sportsline notes 'That would mean a 76-year-old man broke the all-time Florida State University leg press record by 665 pounds over Dan Kendra. 665 pounds. Further, when he set the record, they had to modify the leg press machine to fit 1,335 pounds of weight. Plus, Kendra’s capillaries in his eyes burst. Burst.'

he's a statesman? if he is, then the crazy homeless man who plays invisibly instruments outside of my office is a statesman as well.

His fans believe anything he says. Of course, they'll believe that he can leg press 2,000 pounds.

The reason no one pays attention to global warming is the Republicans disinformation campaign. We'd all be only concentrated on saving the planet if those Republicans would stop distracting us.

Raaaaaar!

Dude is just trying to one-up Madeline Albright.

Pat Robertson... protein shake. That's enough to make a gay guy straight.... Eeeew.

I want to watch him do it.

knostant:

That looks eerily similar to a posting I saw on Deadspin this morning…

Dear God, my work-time wasting blog worlds are starting to collide and shrink.

Um, yeah, that should say "konstant." Must spell check.

Maybe Pat is confused about the difference between pressing, i.e., LIFTING, 2000 pounds and just, you know, PRESSING on it. Or maybe he means he lifted 50 pounds for 40 reps. That's my guess.

Someone should ask him if his shake gets its protein from the semen of the 11-year-old slave soldiers in Africa who protect his gold and diamond mine investments.

A little weightlifting geekery - every leg press is different, 100 pounds feels different on every model. On the types where you press a sled up and down at 45 degrees, I've had female clients (non-pro athletes) press over 500 for reps. If you only move the sled a foot or so, you can 'lift' huge amounts of weight, which I suspect is what's going on here. Pat, put your bodyweight on a bar, and squat it to parallel, then I'll wake up a bit. Partial leg-pressing is univerally recognized as the domain of the weightroom wanker.

yeah. that was me on deadspin as well.

i bet you can tell i work for the government. NO WORK BEING DONE HERE!

Right on, taxpayer money wasting brother. I'm in the same governmental boat, that's how I've had time to see your "tag" in other places.

By the way, the comment made me laugh on both sites.

Robertson gets more silly the older he gets - why limit oneself to 2,000 pounds, he should of said 10,000 - both numbers would have been believable to his mind dead believers and as unbelievable to the rest of us that live in the real world.
