00:00In those days there were some powerlifting competitions where the three disciplines were
00:06bench press, squat, and curl. They called it a cheating curl. So I did that when I was Mr. Universe.
00:12They invited me to England to pose at the Mr. Great Britain competition. They would have me do
00:17deadlifts, 650 pounds, and I would be doing with 275, a few reps, curls. Then later on when I was
00:24working out with Franco over here, I got all the way up to 710 in the deadlift. And Franco was even
00:29better than that. He was like 730 or so, even though he only weighed 180. It's crazy.
