Sorry lads, I don't mean the guys that were videoing the attempted lift, but the guy in grey, to the right, was still filming it when the others had started to rush in to help! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 29,624 Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Decent arm wrestler Scot Mendleson not sure how old he is now but must be well into his 50's i'll never understand the attraction of lifting to your max at this age you're just asking for an uncomfortable post sport life.
