Never judge a book by it’s cover…or a lifter by his age.
In this short but hilarious video, Strongman Kenneth Leverich teamed up with thrillist to show you exactly what old man strength looks like. The 28 year old gym owner and powerlifter goes to Venice Beach dressed in professional makeup as an 84 year old man. Needless to say it was snapchat city when “Bad Grandpa” started squatting upwards of 460 lbs.
When it was all send and done Leverich ended up with a 465 lb back squat, 365 lb clean and jerk, 302lb snatch, and a butt load of new fans. Probably the best part of the whole stunt was at the end when Leverich DIDN’T reveal who he was. That’s right, he left the whole crowd with a bit of mind f*ck, trying to make sense of what they just saw.
