I was ashamed (more surprised) at the powerlifting bros today..
I was with the wife, kid, my daughter, her husband and my grandchild at a small town fair today.. after the parade.
We were eating porkchop on a stick and a bottle of water, when i heard from the band stand they were power lifting..
so I go over with the family..
weight they were lifting??? 320 - 410.. bench was all they were lifting i was very embarrassed.. my daughter turns to me and says.. dad, you can lift a lot more than that, go on up and do it.. these kids were 310 -370 lb kids 19-26 yrs old, and my daughter has seen me lift a lot more than that, i said, "Honey, i don't have anything to prove to these guys, as long as you know i can do it.." plus it was 90 degree and i wasn't registered..
but I tell ya, it was embarrassing the low weight they were lifting.. the guy that did the 410s, he was using a belt, wraps, and a shirt...
yes.. it's an embarrassing day
