On another note, I didn't know that Lil Wayne was a powerlifter...

I went to this last year and some monster from Iceland pulled a 1015 deadlift.There were several others that were also impressive as Hell too.Guys benching 500 for their warm ups it was crazy.I never felt so small in my life.If you`re from Texas any where close to the Metroplex you should check it out.See you there
