about "Zuvers Gym"

and this quote got me.........maybe i am a reincarnation

July 1, 1968: I took about a dozen attempts on this day, a continuation of all of the times I missed lifting this 225 or 250 pound barrel that was 3/4 of the way filled with water. It continuously shifted and I had horrible "cleaning" technique. I rolled the thing up my chest and face and it was as painful as it sounds. With Jack yelling encouragement such as "forget it, you'll kill yourself" and others saying "enough already, put it down before you get hurt", I finally clean and jerked the thing. Bob and Jim Waters who I guess kept track of these things, told me I was "the twelfth man to do it" with Pat Casey completing it a few weeks before I did.

Are you the one cleaning, or the one yelling "forget it, you'll kill yourself" at everyone? :mrgreen:
