Pat Robertson @ God's gym

[d10shun]

Robertson is an offense to my faith.

That said, sure he was pushing with his hands on his knees, sure he was only going down a few inches, but if you've ever used one of those machines you would know that it is still pretty impressive, especially for an old guy.

The machine he is on uses ball bearing tracks to slide the weight up an incline. These machines give you the impression that you are lifting tremendous amounts of weight when in reality it is only a fraction. The same can be said with the machines with pullies. One pully reduces the work - let alone the 3 or 4 pullies (or cams) some machines have. If Pat can truly lift 1000 lbs, then do it with an olympic bar and traditional squats. I struggle with 80lbs on each side.

As it has been said, why pick on someone because of religion. Hey, there are crazies in every religion - Pat is just a very visible one.

I've used those machines before. Yes, it's much easier than traditional squats with the same weight, but I'd bet that less than 1% of could do what he does in that video. Pretty good for an old crazy man.

Hate bashing a religious monger? Or is that religious bashing a hate monger?

Either way....Classic!!!

I never thought i would agree with you about anything.
