NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says it is the God's honest truth _ he did, indeed, once leg-press a ton when he was almost 73 and had prostate cancer, and he still regularly lifts up to 1,200 pounds with his legs.
But he acknowledged that the way he leg-presses would not be legal in a bodybuilding competition.
But he said he did the 2,000-pound lift on an incline leg press with the machine's brake on, which means he did not have to lift the weight the whole way.
"When the professionals do it, they take the brake off and let the weight come all the way down on them. And if you don't have a lot of help, you've got a Volkswagen sitting on your hips. I didn't do that," he said.
Robertson also has licensed his name to Columbus, Ohio-based Basic Organics Inc., which makes a similar product called Pat's Diet Shake.
"We're selling the thing like crazy. There are thousands of people who want to get it. They think the shake had something to do with my ability to lift weights, and I don't think it did," he said, chuckling.
That's his m.o., some things never change. I like to believe that there is a special place in hell for people like this, people who claim to do the Lord's work and do nothing more than amass earthly riches. It makes me sick.BigVrunga said:Once again, profiting off the ignorance of his faithful followers.
What a loser.
