    The Father of Hack squats, and other things I didn't know.

    Look at the thickness of this guy, especially his legs.

          Good read!

          I had always figured he was some old guy who couldn't squat no more so came up with his hack version. Had no idea he was a beast and had such a history, not to mention having such an influence on the bench press exercise coming about.

              Can't say I've ever tried a 214lb one arm shoulder press.
