story from a friend:
"Random story-time:
So it's legs-day today, and I'm in Leominster. I was taking a rest in between sets, and there's this older, balding, fairly round man (had to be ~60 years old) sitting on a bench, who tells me "Good set." I say thanks, and decide shoot the shit for a minute before I get back to it.
He asks "So ahh, you do the deadlift?" (He had a heavy ass accent, sounded Eastern European)... We talk about how awesome it is (lol why the fuck not), and he goes on to talk about how he used to be a weightlifter back in his day, probably Oly lifting since we also went on about the Clean.
After we're done talking I get back to my set, but then i notice him walk over to a barbell loaded with 4 plates (405lb) - didn't even realize it was there. This balding, fat old man proceeds to fucking STIFF-LEG THAT SHIT RIGHT OFF THE FLOOR. No belt, nothing but straps. He does a 1RM, looks over at me and gives me the upward-head nod with a smile.
Needless to say I haven't been THAT JACKED UP in a while; Figured you guys would appreciate something this nuts+awesome lol."
