Pat Robertson leg-presses 2000 lbs.! Wow! Must be God's influence
I mean, a preacher wouldn't lie about a thing like that, right?
Is Pat Robertson almighty?
May 27, 2006

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says he has leg-pressed 2,000 pounds, but some say he'd be in a pretty tough spot if he tried.

The "700 Club" host's feat of strength is recounted on the Web site of his Christian Broadcasting Network. According to the site, Robertson worked his way up to lifting a ton.

Clay Travis of CBS SportsLine.com called the assertion impossible, writing that the leg-press record for football players at Florida State University is 665 pounds less.


Doubters!! Sinners!! Chicken-legged liberal heathens!! Don't you dare mock the man to whom God has delegated the awesome power of wiping out sinners with hurricanes!

1. 20 reps
of 100 lbs............why would you ever doubt what ol' Pat has to say? Has the man EVER said anything that might give one the impression that he is perhaps not the sanest critter on the planet?

"Where does Pat find the time and energy to host a daily, national TV show, head a world-wide ministry, develop visionary scholars, while traveling the globe as a statesman?

One of Pat's secrets to keeping his energy high and his vitality soaring is his age-defying protein shake. Pat developed a delicious, refreshing shake, filled with energy-producing nutrients."

5. Here's the surprise effing surprise....
"One of Pat's secrets to keeping his energy high and his vitality soaring is his age-defying protein shake. Pat developed a delicious, refreshing shake, filled with energy-producing nutrients."

Bet you a fat man to a skinny mule ole 76-year old, flabby muscle, girly-man will be flaking his bullshit shake to his lamb chop flock as he continue to soak their meager earnings. These people disgust me and most of them have an addictive personality to boot.

3. Someone inflated his air-jordans to 1000 psi, and he figures that
adds 1000 pounds to the routine.... simple enough mistake.

10. Hey, somebody's got to take Hugo Chavez down
I'm not a gym rat, but didn't the article say this is an incline press? Does that mean he's pushing 2000# up a roller ramp? That is not quite the same thing as lifting 2000#

11. Remember those sideshows?
The ones where a beefy guy in a fake leopard-skin Tarzan suit came out and lifted barbells with these GINORMOUS weights on them that had these really impressive numbers? Like 500, or 1000 lbs? And he's struggling, and sweating, but he finally gets it over his head, and the crowd goes wow, ooooh, yay! and claps like mad...
But if you stick around and watch when you're supposed to be gone, this skinny litte kid comes out later to collect the props and picks up these "500 lb barbells", one in each hand, and totes them off for the next 'feat of strength.'

12. The Little Rascals, Alfalfa was the Strongman, and I think it was
Porky that was his assistant. While Alfalfa was taking his bows to the cheering crowd, in the background is Porky carrying away the barbells. Needless to say, the cheers turned to jeers.

13. Actually, it may be true, in a Pat Robertson sort of way
First, the FSU leg press record is likely a vertical leg press which is much more difficult than a press done on an incline machine.

Secondly, the range of motion is a big deal too. If you go down all the way until until your thighs are nearly touching your chest it's much more difficult than if you move just a few inches. I don't think Pat Roberston's ever gone down.

Thirdly, the angle of incline also impacts the difficulty of the exercise. The greater the incline, the more difficult the press. If you're at 90 degrees it's more difficult than if you're nearly flat on your back.

So essentially what Pat's likely done is hitch up 2000 lbs on a nearly flat incline and then move it an inch. From that, he's made it appear he turns green when he steps in the gym and starts throwing around 2000 lbs. while ripping phone books in half with his bare hands. It's sort of the Weapons of Mass Destruction approach to weightlifting claims.

Pat Robertson is a son of a bitch!"
"Pat Robertson is the father of every kid in this town!"
"Pat Robertson once showed me a video of him making love to my wife, and it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw!"
"One time I was with Robertson in the back of a pickup truck, along with a live deer. Robertson goes up to the deer and says, 'I'm Pat Robertson! SAY IT!' Then he manipulates the deer's lips in such a way as to make it say, 'Pat Robertson' ... It wasn't exactly like it, but it was pretty good for a deer!'"
Pat Robertson is the godfather of my son. Well, anyway.. he shows up at the church in his golf pants, caked in mud. Well, ol' Pat pushes the priest aside and says, "I'll baptize that piece of calamari!" Then he pours Scotch all over my baby son and says, "There! You're baptized!"
"He'd eat a homeless person if you dared him!"
"His poop is used as currency in Argentina."
"He sweats Gatorade"
"He once breast-fed a flamingo back to health."
"He hated Mexicans! And he was half Mexican! .......And he hated irony!"
"I once saw him scissor kick Angela Landsbury."
"He sheds his skin once a year."
"He makes brooms somewhere in Georgia."
"He did 3 tours in 'Nam...... I was in Corpus Christi on business a month ago. I had this eight foot tall Asian waiter, which made me curious. I asked him his name. Sure enough it's Ho Tran Robertson!"
"I once saw him eat a whole live chicken."
"Pat Robertson is a two ton man-mountain who could palm a medicine ball!"
"Did I ever tell you about the time Robertson took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Robertson takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half and sure enough someone constructs a bar around us. The day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Robertson yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found em!'"
"Pat Robertson had a four day heart attack...a day for each chamber. At the autopsy, they said his heart looked like a basketball filled with riccotta cheese."
"He once punched a hole in a cow just to see who was coming up the road."
"He taught me how to make love to a woman, and how to scold a child."
"They found $60 in change in his stomach."
"He did all the makeup on the 'Planet of the Apes' movie."
"He grew a 3rd arm and kept it in a vault."
"Robertson drank a full glass of liquid LSD with his eggs. Then he slept for 8 months straight. When he woke he rubbed his eyes and said, 'All in all, I prefer gin.'"
"They say Gene Roddenbery got the idea for Star Trek from listening to Robertson talk in his sleep."
"He date raped David Bowie."
"He once inhaled a seagull."
"The Pope told him it was ok to have a mistress."
"It was the sight of Robertson's naked body that drove Brian Wilson insane."
"He once had sex with a cigarette machine."
"He killed Wolfman Jack with a trident."
"He uses the Shroud of Turin as a golf towel."
"He once ate the Bible while water skiing."
"He drives an ice cream truck covered in human skulls."
"He sired a baseball team.. an orchestra if you count the bastards!"
"You know, he would shoot whiskey into his neck with a syringe!"
"He has dandruff the size of mice!"
"He jogged with a fridge on his back!"
"He's a ten foot tall beastman who showers in vodka and feeds his baby shrimp scampi."
"He orchestrated the merger between Unicef and Smith & Wessen."
"He went public with his own buttocks and made $7 million."
"Did I ever tell you about the time Robertson went hunting? Robertson decides he's going to hunt down all four of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machette. They all begged for their lives...except Fleagle."
"We once had a bachelor party for Robertson. He ate the entire cake before we could tell him there was a stripper in it."
"Robertson once hosted the Grammys and gave every award to Corey Hart."
"He has a toenail on the end of his penis."

"Robertson's family crest is a picture of a baracudda eating Neil Armstrong."
"Robertson ranked 18th in the AP College Football Pool."
"Did I ever tell you about the time Robertson was in a production of, 'The King & I?' On opening night, Robertson chloroforms the entire cast and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews."

"If you drop a phonograph needle on Robertson's nipple, it plays the Beach Boys' 'Pet Sounds.'"
"They use Robertson's foreskin as a tarp when it rains at Yankee stadium."
"Robertson directed that commercial where the women play basketball in high heels."
"All the 'Yes' album covers are Robertson family photos."
"He wears a live rattlesnake as a condom."
"Did I ever tell you about the time he taught his son how to drive? He did it by entering him in the Indy 500. The kid wrecked and died. Robertson said it would've happened sometime."
"Robertson's semen can form into a liquid human - like the guy from 'Terminator 2'"
"Robertson still believes in Santa Claus, and he wants to put him in porno films."
"He thinks then iron man is gay."
"He framed Roger Rabbit."
"The character of Johnny Appleseed was based on Robertson - except for the apple tree planting and not raping men."
