2000 lb leg press? Pat Robertson is pulling your leg.

[applepowerpc]

I want to see this man go to a real gym and press 2,000 pounds in front of nonpartial body builders.

Heck, if he can press this much weight, Robertson can give the bodybuilding world some tips.

Just don't try and cut his hair first.

pat robertsons feat is a testament to the Lord. Praise him.

Great sarcasm, love it!

This man is such an egomaniac that if he could actually do this, he would have had the Guiness Book of Records there to verify it. He's been through this wringer of people not believing what he says before, so you'd think if it was true he'd have independent validation.

Meh.

Pat Robertson's original name was Marion. He changed it to Pat after learning that Marion was the name of Chuck Norris' ex-wife.

John Wayne's original name was Marion. Gonna make something of it?

This is a good thread for laughs.

If you go back to the site now they do have a video of Pat leg pressing 1000 pounds ten times right after leg pressing 900 700 etc several times to warm up. In fact though he doesn't do a full extension and only does partial leg presses. Ill say it's still pretty darn impressive though. I would also note that the machine can't hold any more weight than that, its full at 1000 pounds.

I can carve a plastic hollow weights, label 100 and put 10 of them on top of each other and claim 1000 pounds, but if they're not even a pound each, then he's probably got the weakest legs alive.

Just by flapping his lips every day on his TV network, infusing the ether with his special brand of inane, bizarre paranoid phantasmagoria, Robertson does more harm to the cause of christianity than any cabal of atheists does in a year. More power to him.

There isn't any way around it. That's a lot of weight on that machine for someone of Robertson's age.

It's well short of 2,000 lbs.

That picture and video are not of him doing the 2,000. There are other witnesses to this though.

The video is (I think) 1,000, but he does it 10 times.

2,000 the way Robertson is doing them is not out of the question.

The fact is, Robertson is in excellent shape for a 76 year old.

I never denied that Robertson is excellent shape for his age and stress level that takes into being the world's biggest conman.

However, to legpress 1,000 or 2,000 pounds just doesn't sound right to me. The record is 1,335 for pete's sake...

It's a semantics issue. The record is 1,335 for a Proper, Olympic level/style leg press. Robertson still lifted 2,000 pounds, and it's still a leg press, albeit an improper one.

For a 76 year old guy to lift 1,000 lbs 10 times or 2,000 lbs once, even if it's not proper, is not a small feat.

The media tried to smear Robertson but the pictures and video Pwned them!!!!!

It appears as if 16 plates are loaded on the machine. Four of them look like 100-pound plates, and the rest are 45s. That adds up to 940 pounds.

He's pushing with his arms and he's nowhere near recommended full range of motion (knees at a 90 degree angle).

This is like playing golf with a cranky old man, who takes mulligans and lies about his score. You put up with it because you can't reason with him and anyway you still love crazy ol uncle Pat.

Or that's the way it is within a family. In a cult they repeat the lies with a straight face.

If that was true, I could probably leg-press 3,000 pounds then the Pat-way without losing my vision. I have legs as large as tree trunks, no joke. It's what you get when you walk 5 miles a day.

And... that might explain Madeline Albright's leg-pressing 400 pounds.
