American Powerhouse: Derek Poundstone -
02-28-2011, 11:00 PM
I just picked up a recent issue of Muscle & Fitness and thought I would post on the Cover Story. It's about a guy titled "America's Strongest Man" Derek Poundstone. This guy is huge! I won't spoil much of what this guy can do and has done, but I only wish that I can one day do at least half of it. He Started lifting at a young age like many of the big athletes do. Started in strongman competitions in the late teens. He's also the Global Ambassador for the Special Olympics. Standing a 6'1" and approx. 335lbs, this hulk has pulled the weight of an Air Malta Airbus in the 2009 WSM (100,000lbs), deadlifted 800lbs for 9 reps, hoisted an atlas stone of 555lbs to a 42" platform (world record) and can log press 286lbs 13 times.
Oh, and he does it while still having 2 herniated disks. Simply Wow.....makes me wanna turn back the clock and follow a different path to reach those goals.....truly an inspiration.

No not juice a whole lot...sheesh...I am a product of the "Just Say No!" Program from the '80s. What I meant is.....and I am not sure if I even told anyone on here about it....but....in middle school when I was about 13 or 14 yrs old (7th & 8th grade) I started lifting at home. I wanted to be bigger and stronger than the other kids and some of my inspirations were from comics and wrestling and guys like him. If things were different....this is where i could have been.....but after the accident(s).....

Well, no offense, but I don't think any of us could go where Poundstone and Pudz have gone without gear....and LOTS of it. Sure they do the work, but they ain't natural....by any means.

I think having the last name 'poundstone' is an instant way to becoming epic.
