Robertson says he leg-pressed 2,000 pounds
Fri May 26, 6:35 PM ET
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says he has leg-pressed 2,000 pounds, but some say he'd be in a pretty tough spot if he tried.
The "700 Club" host's feat of strength is recounted on the Web site of his Christian Broadcasting Network, in a posting headlined "How Pat Robertson Leg Pressed 2,000 Pounds."
According to the CBN Web site, Robertson worked his way up to lifting a ton with the help of his physician, who is not named. The posting does not say when the lift occurred, but a CBN spokeswoman released photos to The Associated Press that she said showed Robertson lifting 2,000 pounds in 2003, when Robertson was 73. He is now 76.
The Web posting said two men loaded the leg-press machine with 2,000 pounds "and then let it down on Mr. Robertson, who pushed it up one rep and let it go back down again." The Web site said several people witnessed the event, and shows video of Robertson leg-pressing what appears to be 1,000 pounds.
Clay Travis of CBS SportsLine.com called the 2,000-pound assertion impossible in a column this week, writing that the leg-press record for football players at Florida State University is 665 pounds less.
"Where in the world did Robertson even find a machine that could hold 2,000 pounds at one time?" Travis asked.
Andy Zucker, a strength-training coach at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, said leg presses of more than 1,000 pounds represent "a Herculean effort, and 2,000 pounds is a whole other story."
"If he was able to lift that much weight, I take my hat off to him, but the numbers suggest that people who lift that much weight are few and far between," Zucker said. "One would have to see what type of leg press it was on and under what parameters it was done."
CBN spokeswoman Angell Vasko said Friday that Robertson was not available for comment because he was "out of pocket" for the long holiday weekend.
Vasko said she has not seen Robertson leg-press 2,000 pounds but that it's not "a huge shocker" that he could.
"Pat is so healthy," she said. "This is something he trained for over an extended period of time. He lives a very healthy, regimented life."
One of the photos Vasko released had a digital date stamp of 1994, although she said Robertson performed the leg press in 2003. Vasko said that perhaps the date was not set properly on the camera.
The CBN Web site attributes Robertson's energy in part to "his age-defying protein shake." The site offers a recipe for the shake, which contains ingredients such as soy protein isolate, whey protein isolate, flaxseed oil and apple cider vinegar. |

| LOL Pat Robertson is a nutcase, the same stupid people that watch his show and believe in the bible probably believe he can also lift 2,000 pounds. His headquarters is like 30 minutes away from here. I think he is part of the reason that Stern got kicked off the VA airwaves back in the 90's. |

Stupid people? maybe God helped him lift those 2,000 pounds? You know God is very busy helping people. I've seen people thanking him for helping them hit home runs, helping them catch touchdowns, helping them catch bass and a bunch of other stuff.
Too bad God doesn't give a shit about peple starving and genocide.
That's why God and Bush are so much alike, they're always watching sports, and not paying attention to the important stuff like people suffering. |

I can't believe this fuckin hypocrite is still around and kickin. If there was a god he should be in hell now instead of trying to pedal his crap.
Al Franken was talking about this today on the radio. Apparently the world record for the leg press is 1325 lbs. In fact, the guy that did it, blew out capillaries in his eyeballs during the lift.
Must be some oxycotton in those shakes. He should lay off of them. |

Heres the site that shows the master bodybuilder in action - leg pressing 1000 pounds! The only problem is that he isnt doing even 1/4 of a leg press, let alone a full one, plus he uses his hands to push up his legs. So hes a liar and a cheat.
This guy right here is only able to leg press 1265 pounds because he doesn't have faith in Christ. |

$14 million in federal faith-based money goes to Pat Robertson
Televangelist's claim that Ariel Sharon's stroke was an act of God may have cost him the friendship of some Israelis, but it hasn't prevented his charity, Operation Blessing, from garnering faith-based grants from the U.S. government
While the Reverend Pat Robertson was flayed recently over his suggestion that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was an act of retribution by God for the transfer of land in the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians, the Reverend's charitable organization, Operation Blessing, was raking in wads of faith-based money from the Bush Administration. |

Some Question Robertson's Katrina Charity
Operation Blessing Is Second on FEMA's List for Donations for Hurricane Victims
By BRIAN ROSS
Sept. 9, 2005 — - Charity and religious leaders are questioning why the Federal Emergency Management Agency designated Operation Blessing as the No. 2 charity for donations in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Operation Blessing is the charity founded and still chaired by Pat Robertson, the politically well-connected television evangelist, who recently called for the assassination of Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we've never had anything like this," Robertson told his audience. "Let's rally together and do what we can."
In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the federal government, through FEMA, issued a list of charities to which Americans should donate. On that list, Operation Blessing was only second to the American Red Cross.
Charity leaders say this FEMA recommendation is a huge boost for Robertson's charity.
"It could be worth tens of millions of dollars," said Richard Walden, president and founder of Operation USA, a non-governmental organization specializing in disaster relief.
However, as Robertson hosted his daily television show in Mississippi this week, other charity leaders were questioning why FEMA had recommended Robertson's operation and left others off the list, including Walden's Operation USA.
"I was shocked," said Walden upon seeing Robertson's charity so prominently displayed on the FEMA Web site. "It stuck out for a reason because of Pat Robertson's activities over the years." |

Aren't there laws against false advertising? Oh wait, religion is false advertising. I guess there is a god-exemption.
How convenient that there is no proof of the leg press, just like everything else Pat says. |
