Foreman dumbbells story.

It was said that when Foreman made his comeback. He used to use 100lb dumbells and punch with them during his training routine :bbb. That's impressive.

 

he did look arm heavy. Good thing he had that grampa gut to rest his clubs on

 

100 lbs that sounds crazy. . . and potentially risky.

 

I wouldn't put anything past Foreman. His strength was incredible. He probably would have made a good strongman competitor if he had trained purely for strength rather than for fighting.

 

I doubt that even someone like Mark Henry could do that.

 

Is there a primary source for this?

If not, you have to be cautious.

 

Not true...even Bill kaizmaier could,t do that

 

Can't see how that would be possible...or practical

 

Foremans' biceps were like bowling *****...I bet he could use 100lb dumb bells.

 

Well, he did pull around a truck using a yolk around his neck, and he did lift that steer over his head, but this sounds hard to believe. Many he could throw a few punches that way, but not anything sustained.

 

I think this is a Paul Bunyanesque story 20-25 would be big for a mortal man. Shoulders are an Achilles heal, please forgive me, jointwise. I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that he did weighted shadow boxing, but something reasonable.

I recall Foreman talking about that during his first career that he would cut water before fights which is freakin' insanity. I think George 2.0 updated his training philosophy the 2nd, arguably his 3rd time around.

 

:deal

 

One day they will tell the tale of Big George lifting a herd of cattle to show how strong he was after losing to Ali.
