Going up

Posted on October 9, 2011 by Michael

Some time ago I wrote about weight lifting. In that post, there was an exercise I couldn’t find. Eventually I figured it out. Of course, that didn’t mean I could find a video of it. Not even an image. So for that reason, I have uploaded a picture of my grandfather performing the feat in December of 1950:

"GOING UP - Bob Hawkins, Augusta, one of the most talented young weightlifters in New England, shows good form on a one-arm cleave and jerk of a 152 pound lift. Hawkins and other leading Maine lifters will compete in a Knights of Columbus sponsored, Maine AAU sanctioned, meet here January 6 at City Hall." Dec 1950

Just to emphasize, that’s 152 pounds. I don’t know what my grandfather’s weight was at the time, but I would estimate not over 170, and I think I’m high-balling it a bit. In short, what he did was damn impressive.

Push up bras for small breasts, you say?

I suppose breasts and bras bear a correlation that requires quantitative measurements, so I can see the connection to science. And I’m always looking to boost my cred with feminists, so what better way than to become a peddler of spammy bra links that strongly implies there’s something wrong with small breasts?

Sometimes when I move an item to the Recycle Bin, I let go of my mouse at the wrong time and it rearranges all the icons on my desktop.
