Gainesville Gym Workout - Featuring Bill Kazmaier & Skip

[Abdominator]

Dude!

My workout partner and I were training today when he goes to get a drink of water and comes back and says, "You should see that guy in the other room. He looks just like the guy who won World's Strongest Man a few years back. You know, the one who hosts the show now?" And I said, "Bill Kazmaier?", and he said "Yeah! That's him!"

Turns out it was Bill! The man was curling 95 lb. dumbbells like they were nothing! And his arms are huge! I hope he won't mind but I want to post a picture I took with him today. He's a really nice guy and was kind enough to sign a few autographs for some of us who were at the gym today. It was way cool!

So, I learned three things from this experience:

1. Our gym owner is cool! He knows famous people!
2. Whenever you think you're hot stuff in the gym, someone else can lift more than you.
3. Neat stuff happens at the gym on a Fridays!

Below is a picture of the two of us.

Later guys!

- Skip "Dude! His arms are as big as my legs!"

[raprazant]

jesus, he's a monster.

[FATHER FLEX]

My God you are a lucky guy...I get annoying people at my gym and you get Bill Kazmaier. One big dude I tell you that.

[dez\null]

Dez your girlfriend looks a little tubby...he he. Oh man it must be late when the lame humor comes out.

[DarkFalcon]

That's totally cool Skip. He looks like a tank and those arms look like they could snap limbs with ease . Biggest guy to work out at my gym was NFL super prospect gone bust Tony Mandrich. I felt like a ten year old kid standing next to him..lol.

Hehehe Dez, now you see what happens?! You had just one too many and now you're finding yourself waking up next to a 59 gallon drum of CellTech TM.

Mama Nancy was right. "Just say No!"

Yeah, seeing "Kaz" at our gym was cool for all of us. All the powerlifters who were there that day (Nate and Jared in particular) were very impressed. Heck, I was impressed and I can barely dumbbell press 130% of my bodyweight. Apparently he drives here from his home in Alabama rather often to see his son play football. Now is that a cool dad, or what?

- Skip "Dez, back away from the CellTech container! We think you've had enough! Don't make me have to zap you with my cattle prod!"

[BigTraps]

That's pretty damn cool man.

[el cabron.]

skip, you must have a horseshoe up your arse, brother!!

[devman27]

Man that guy is gargantuan. Look how big his arms and forearms are. Oh my!

[str8flexed]

damnit...I should have been there...that's awsome skip!

[Smackdown]

pretty cool but skip i must ask what the deal with the shirt is?

[Fletch]

Skip that shirt looks like something outta "Pumping Iron". I'm jealous you got to meet Kaz. I didn't think he was that tall, or is he standing on a chair next to you? I bet his kid is quite the football player.

I remember seeing Kaz at Gainesville Gym a couple of years back. He's probably one of the few people who can actually lift those 200 pound DBs. I remember he was talking to some girl about his deadlift record. And he is tall. He looked to be about 6'5" 300+ pounds and he was well over 40. Had a huge bone structure too. His calves were like 20+" and they barely came off his knee.

round here, skip, horseshoes are good luck!! that's all i meant!!

[Cornholio]

6'5?? holy ****, that's one big mofo, I thought he was like average(height wise) from the times I saw him at the strongman competitions.

Skip, did you see how some of his lifts were?

[kendo]

Skip thats cool meetin Bill it's good that your gym has that size of dumbells about. Tell him weve got some 200lber's lying on the floor and we need them put back on the rack if he wants to visit.

Hey Dez will the Celltech respect you in the morning

[MadChild]

That guy is huge!

hmm, Steve Nash works out at my gym, but that's different than seeing a guy who could lift a car for fun.

for a second I thought you were saying you could curl 130% of your bodyweight with dumbells.

[John Henry]

I met Bill at a highland games competition about three years ago and was very pleasant to talk to. Never did get my picture with him though.

Ah, that's my signature workout shirt. When a lot of my dress shirts for work started getting old (or not fitting in the neck anymore), I cut the sleeves and collar off and wear them as workout shirts. I have like a dozen of them in white, blue and beige.

- Skip "We recycle!"

Bill Kazmaier is 6'3" and I'm a runty 5'11". And I bet if I made him mad he could squash my skull like a grape.

- Skip

[dez\null]

a grape?!? is that all!!! **** id swish yours like a pea! what a wiener! hahaha j/k if i came and shot on him he would kick my ass to the alpha centari system.

Unfortunately, I only got to see him doing the 95 lb. dumbbell curls. That in itself was impressive. During most of his visit he and I were lifting in different rooms in the gym. However, some of the heavy dumbbells were in the room adjacent to where I was. So, that's when I saw him training. I bet you though he was doing some impressive weights all the other times.

- Skip "Excuse me, Miss... are you using those 140 lbs. dumbbells?"
