    Gene is a ****ing house. Hard to tell how big he is from that. He's about 360 lbs though.

    well mendy hit 876 in a shirt, and 713 raw, the shirt is also a means of injury prevention

    I'm trying to hard to get my friend billy into powerlifting...He JUST turned 16, and his max is 400. His arms are allready 19 inches, but its hard to describe his complexion...Hes not fat, and hes not muscular...Hes just really stocky/bulky looking. But GOD is he ever strong, i'm going to get pics of him up here soon. The benchpress record at my school is 500!!! Billy could beat that by the end of his sophomore year or sooner!! Too bad he doesnt go to my school
