not have allowed Kemariās lift. They would have said that he bounced it off his chest. You may sense that Iām still a little bitter that the VTWC, 36 years ago, ripped me off from getting my 250# bench press t-shirt. I did it successfully 2 times. 1st time they said I did not wait for their signal to start. 2nd time they said one of my feet came off the ground (it did not). 3rd time around, I was petered out, and couldnāt do it.

Dumbbells for life. Lift smarter not harder. Work out today so you can work out tomorrow. I've heard too many stories of people tearing a pec on a mere 135 to 200 pounds. My warm up is loooooong to try to prevent injuries.

Do you remember the famous move to the mall? That was such a surprise to VT.

being unhappy with the VTWC because it was charging fees/dues to work out. IIRC, the university felt that was unfair, so they offered a weightlifting place that was free of charge to all students.

working out at the VTWC. I got to work out with a young walk-on (I think) VT TE named John Burke when he was a freshman. He had a great Tech career and I think played in the NFL.

Still to this very day... funniest MF'er, evar!!!
Coulda been a stand-up comedian.
(Maybe shoulda been)...
His hijinks in the Foxridge weight-room were the stuff of legend.
He'd show up impersonating Dexter Manley, with 54 (his digits backwards); or 27 for Dex'.
We'd be falling down with laughter, over-n-over-n-over... hilarious.
May St.Edward bless my boy,

Wouldnāt that much weight break a rib?
I think that much weight has to have a little natural ābounceā and JF spotting cannot be holding much if any of that weight from the positioning heās in. Yeah heās moving it off the rack butā¦Copeland has to control the weight somewhat off the bar and down. Still ridiculously impressive
