Snippet taken from Luton's Herald And Post newspaper: *~*~*~*~*~* It's a good job John Feehan is a muscle mountain - he needs to be strong to carry all his awards. Because Luton is now home to the world record holder in the bench press. John, 43, of Dallow Road, lifted a massive 522lbs to take the title in the world championships in America. And after coming home with a clutch of trophys, he said, "It was just one of those weekends that went perfectly." *~*~*~*~*~* Yeah, you could say that! Going by his picture in the paper, he's not on steroids either - his arms actually look a natural shape. Apparently he trains five times a week and has been doing it for 17 years! To spare you converting it, 522lbs is over 37 stone!

what picture? is 500lb, half a tonne? I said the picture in the paper; I haven't scanned it, so there's no pic available online presently. You're thinking of kg: 500kg = half a ton (metric). A tonne (imperial) is about 2200lb. As I said, though, it's over 37 stone, which is pretty fawkin' impressive!
