There was a youth/kids outreach service at the Tolsma Indoor Track on Wednesday night featuring Men of Armor and various feats of strength (guys running through 2x4's, bending rebar, ripping up phone books, etc.,). To cap off the night, Bill Gillespie hit a bench-press attempt of 855 pounds. I have never seen a bar bend like that.

yeah that was pretty crazy to watch (on tv) but my question is how much did that guy behind him help?


not much I know

I'm glad to see the Men of Armor program still a part of our football program. I know Samkon loved the experience.

As for 855 lbs ... my body aches just thinking about it.

That guy's there to make sure Bill doesn't drop the bar on his neck. Of course, at 855 I'm not sure how much help he would have been.

That's almost 4 times me and I'm a big guy.
