EYYYAAAAAAAAAAA...
(Seems as if it was only last week that this 4.8 lb. baby was sitting on Grandma's lap listening to her read his favorite stories. Count those 50# weights on the 50# bar!)

But of course, look at his face, it is Clark Kent.

Thanks guys!
This is the typical Charles Atlas story - he was very small though out his younger years and finally decided he'd had enough with being the littlest guy in the crowd. About five years ago he started lifting weights. He's not the tallest at 5'-10" but can throw down just about anyone in his high school class of over 400 students.

I counted 10 plates to equal 500#. The Bar is 50#. That's 550# total weight. Impressive. Did he get it to his chest area?

He had to do several different lifts for qualifications, think that one was called a "dead lift" and was as high as it should have been according to the score board - note his hand positions. Each lift had different weights - think the one that was chest high had two less weights and different hand positions. The over head one had several weights less.
Just remember thinking that he'd have no problem lifting his grand dad over his head and holding him up for a while (I'm six foot and a couple hundred pounds).
