Jesus was his spotter.

Yeah uh...Welcome to 2 months ago Smitty

eqtworld		2006-07-03 08:58:10 PM

Step one: move the weights 3 inches

Step two: lie and use the word "leg press" to insinuate you did a full 20+inch repetition.

Rhyno45		2006-07-03 09:00:46 PM

My ass, 2000 pounds would snap his little hips like Randy "Macho Man" Savage snapping into a Slim jim.

charmed1782		2006-07-03 09:03:11 PM

I can't believe this. There was an explanation??? I thought it was the POWER OF JESUS that helped him move the ton of weight with his spindly old man legs!! Blasphemy!!

McRat		2006-07-03 09:03:18 PM

Assume this is true...

What does it say of Pat when this is the best thing he's got going for him.

It strikes me like two months of articles declaring Ross Perot able to eat 30 hot dogs in 8 minutes.

Stupid human tricks.

eqtworld		2006-07-03 09:05:32 PM

The incline he uses works like a simple machine. Draw a line from the weights straight down and you will see what I mean.

He is literally only moving the weight 3 inches on that incline.

If he tried to free-squat that weight, well, no amount of prayer is going to stand up to newton's laws ....

10 year old uses jack to lift 3000lb car! Jesus lives!

Rhyno45		2006-07-03 09:10:02 PM

I think the conversation went something like this:
Pat: These sheep nowadays will believe anything I tell em.
Random Bible Thumper: Oh they wouldn't believe ANYTHING!
Pat: Yes they would. Wanna bet?
Random Bible Thumper: Oh yeah right, like what? You can bench 700 pounds?
Pat: I'll go one better. How about leg press 2000 pounds?
Random Bible Thumper: HHAHAHAHA, if you could pull that off you'd be the man alright!
Pat: Eeeeeexcellent. You are about to get a lesson in the stupidity of men who turn their thinking over to us. Muahahaha

I think he did it. Anyone that lifts weights regularly knows that those stupid gym machines are a joke. it's completely different when you have to balance the weight for yourself.

Whamdangler		2006-07-03 09:13:04 PM

t is not nearly as hard as the authors of these reports make it out to be. We have multiple witnesses to the 2,000 pound leg press, plus video of the 10 reps of 1,000 pounds.

We just wont show it to you.

Axion22		2006-07-03 09:38:00 PM

Pat Robertson is not allowed to use physicians or modern medicine.

Physicians and modern medicine are based on evolution, not creationism.

mistersite		2006-07-03 09:55:16 PM

Yeah, but how many floor-humping reps can he do?

Lionel Mandrake		2006-07-03 09:55:46 PM

I know how: he lied.

OlafTheBent		2006-07-03 09:57:51 PM

I totally submitted this like 3 weeks ago and I was DENIED!

Doggie McNugget		2006-07-03 09:59:46 PM

Rollin down the gym, pressin 2000, sippin on Jesus Juice
Laaaaiid back, with my mind on my money and my money on my mind.

labman		2006-07-03 10:08:27 PM

How? Simple. He lied his ass off

TwistedIvory		2006-07-03 10:14:19 PM

He's awfully proud of those top few centimeters of the actual rep range. It sounds like he's like one of the asstards at my gym who think that a squat or leg press involves grunting and yelling and moving about 8cm.

Let's see the video there, Pattie.

Javacrucian		2006-07-03 10:17:45 PM

I invoke the power of FARK -

Who were those muscular, evangelical guys that went around the country performing "feats of strength" as a ministry?

Lionel Mandrake		2006-07-03 10:18:56 PM

The power of Christ compels him!! The power of Christ compels him!!

SilentStrider		2006-07-03 10:22:38 PM

Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker.

Close, but I'm looking for Jesus building bodies, not hotrods.

the_gospel_of_thomas		2006-07-03 10:30:25 PM

Well done, OlafTheBent.

^_^

FriarTuck		2006-07-03 10:30:36 PM

I watched the video and I can tell you how he did it:

The weight machine had 1000 lbs on it, not 2000.
He used horrible form but used it in such a way as to make the rep easier-- he did the rep a bit pigeon toed, only went down about a few inches (when you are supposed to go to 90 degrees), and used his arms to help push the weight up.

In short, Pat didn't do 2000 lbs or even 1000 lbs because he didn't do a proper rep.

Javacrucian		2006-07-03 10:31:56 PM

El_Swino

That's them. The power of Fark could lift 2000lbs. easy.

Broadcastdave		2006-07-03 10:33:00 PM

There you go mistersite.

JerseyTim		2006-07-03 10:35:59 PM

It's like he hired Kim Jong Il's press agent. Pat Robertson would have made a very funny dictator.

Thorne1966		2006-07-03 10:52:56 PM

Did someone say Jesus Built My Hotrod ? (pops)

BarryMajors		2006-07-03 11:09:30 PM

Like Pat Robertson, this link is incredibly old and gassy.

Someone hop on the train and submit a Jimmy Swaggrt link while we are on old stories about ancient tv preachers.

Phil Moskowitz		2006-07-03 11:09:54 PM

This is the clearest indictaction that god exists.

Phil Moskowitz		2006-07-03 11:11:28 PM

Honestly, who on fark really is religious?

ElRonHubbardsBalls		2006-07-03 11:11:38 PM

Pat Robertson decided to pull this publicity stunt to promote a new energy drink thing he was selling at GNC (which has been pulled...)

I actually kind of like Pat Robertson. He reminds me how dumb and gullible people are and how I will make lots of money ripping off idiot Christians one day.

jrembold		2006-07-03 11:13:58 PM

let's crush the president of columbia with a 2000 pound "leg press."

he's an idiot, a bigot, a zealot, and provokes terrorism on my country. schmuck.

You owe me a new keyboard. That got saved to favorite pics.

JimSharky		2006-07-03 11:15:38 PM

sure. next you're gonna tell me that he's also got invisible cloaking technology.

logruszed		2006-07-03 11:16:11 PM

Someone mentioned the Power Team in here. I saw one of those guys on T.V. Inflate a hot water bottle until it exploded. All I could think was "That guy is mouthing a douche bag."

chuggernaught		2006-07-03 11:16:35 PM

Sumthin smells like bullshiat!
Oh, it's just Pat. Nevermind.

Five.

Maybe eight.

He's headed for an anal prolapse.

Pat Robertson leg pressed something?

Whoopti-farking-doo. Let me know when a trainer gets him to stop being a dick.

Phil Moskowitz		2006-07-03 11:19:04 PM

GO.. AWAY.

whatshisname		2006-07-03 11:19:18 PM

The story of the 2000 pound leg press in The Gospel of Pat will be very controversial many thousands of years in the future.

"No, no, a pound weighed far less back in those times. They couldn't even travel at the speed of light then, Zog."
