Pat Robertson allegedly leg presses a ton

600 on the squat perhaps? 600 on the leg press for one rep is pretty weak for a hardcore bodybuilder or powerlifter, 600 on the squat is pretty respectable though, even for a single lift.

One look at Pat Robertson and you can instantly tell that he’s a fitness fanatic. The man is built.

Besides, Jesus was pushing with him. Because the Saviour needs a good workout occasionally too. Feel the burn, lamb of God!

Hm. I’ve been burned on this before. Last guy started with coal and then said he wanted to start yelling into my ass “to clear the mechanism”.

Damned echoes…they tickle.
Let’s pretend I never posted this, k?

I have no problem believing Robertson lied, but I also wonder if maybe he was lied to. “Sure Mr. Robertson, I put 2000 pounds on the machine just like you asked…”

All while Jack Bauer pulls the gym itself down the road.

With his tongue.

Somehow, tongue wasn’t where I thought you were going with this.
wince

Ah, no. We’re metric over here - I meant 600kg, which is a bit over 1200lbs.

Of course he’s using his tongue. He’s using the Jack Sac and Bauer Plower to impregnate the female cast of Friends, including guest stars, all simultaneously, while dragging the gym with his tongue.

He’s of course juggling the Enterprise, the Millenium Falcom, and Serenity, too.

Maybe there was another thread on this in a different forum (GQ?), because I saw a link to a video of Robertson doing leg presses. The machine was a typical one with locks on the sides to keep the weights up, and the sled angled though I’m not sure what the angle was (see Bear_Nenno’s post). They loaded it up pretty good, I think they said it was up to 1000 pounds. But his form was all wrong. He was doing pussy reps[sup]1[/sup], where he only let the weight drop a couple of inches before pushing it back up, instead of full extensions (I think leg presses are supposed to go until your knees are at 90[sup]o[/sup]).

Jack LaLanne is 91 and could kick Robertson’s ass:


  1. Pardon the politically incorrect term, I don’t have time to think of a nicer one.

I heard an audio clip of this this morning on the radio. The number repeated more than once was 1,000 pounds, and the female’s voice mentioned that there wasn’t room for any more weights.
