Saturday - 8/25 - Musings - Paul Anderson 6270 pound Backlift

HUUMMMID!

Went into work around 5ish. Network looks pretty good. I'm guesstimating 1/3 have moved in.

While monitoring things I tabbed over to discover an entry on the Fictional OldThyme Strongman Blog. I was horrified to see that Paul Anderson's 6,270 pound backlift was a "well documented" feat. Yeeeaahh riiight, about as well documented as what U.S. border agents are given to them while rounding up illegals in the Mojave Desert.

If you want to read what really happened on that fateful day register over at IRONHISTORY.COM. The research is impeccable and exhaustive. Don't be dooped by the "Carnies" out there.

We could not help but notice that the phrase "blob lift", "blob clean" or "blob whatever" is beginning to be loosely used in some threads. The fucking "Blob" is 1/2 a York 100 roundhead dumbbell(NOT the new Legacy series) or a GordonV Blob50 replica. Anything else is just a block weight. Tighten up people. ;)

What is with the inane infatuation of wrist to waist to forearm to middle finger to palm ratio biometrics? Study the list over the forum. Pay close attention that the grip monsters have contributed nothing. They are too busy hitting the fuking iron. ;)
