Fun Events At The Olympia
The 2008 Olympia Expo had "The Animal Cage" where people would try to bench press their weight for as many repetitions as possible. There were also strongman stations where people would flip tires and press logs over their heads and deadlift and curl stations for reps. Finally, there was a station where people had the opportunity to bench press a weight that looked like 585lbs which in reality weighed only 250lbs. Here is a picture of me bench pressing the 250lbs that looks like 585 for 2 sets of 20. I personally felt it was just as light or if not lighter than 225.
The Fight
My favorite event at the 2008 Olympia Expo was the boxing ring. Big Bill and I went at it like men, and we didn't even wear head protection. I prevailed in the end, but it was the most hardcore bout of the 2008 Olympia expo according to the referee. I challenge anyone to come to Vegas and fight me in the ring in 2009!
