 has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Post Edited: 23.10.2012 @ 22:49 PM by Pete One of those 'boredom' threads.What's the best 'feat of strength' that you've seen at the gym/establishment where you train? I'll start. I've been training at a 'commercial' gym for the last couple of months so I've not seen too many noteworthy lifts. However, I saw a 'skinny lad' deadlifting 200kg for a single. After complimenting the lift, I asked him his weight (67kg, apparantly). He said he hadn't competed in PL so I suggested that he should, at least, look into it. I've literally not seen one other decent/good lift since joining. Edit: There was a spelling mistake.  | ||

 'Looks like Ben Affleck according to Pagan' Member 876, 2506 posts SQ 220, BP 140, DL 260620.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | A lad in our gym pulls 300kgs in Nike air max, no chalk or belt. Seen him rep 180 for fun on the bench too. | ||

 I took about £4 out of Sooty's bottom Member 685, 8719 posts SQ 225, BP 150, DL 290665.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Well other than Jnr and Shaun who I train with I have to say I've not seen one single lift that has impressed me at my local gym. Maybe some wide grip chins for decent reps at a push. | ||

concept 2 guru Member 1235, 4675 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 220547.5 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | I run our the school Gym were I work and the kids that train in there with me impress me constantly. 17 year old lad benching 141 was pretty sweet. 16 year old 80kg lad pulling 221 as well, fought it hard. Also had minibig1 in there once and watched him pull the ugliest 250kg SNATCH GRIP deadlift I've ever seen. | ||

 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Probably some of the crazy high rep stuff some of the decent bodybuilders at my gym do like Andy who is BNBF middleweight champion and squats 160kg for about 15 reps at under 90kg bodyweight and under 10 percent bodyfat. Also ben66 off here squatting 160kg for 19 reps also at around 90kg bodyweight. | ||
