Gotta laugh haven't you, he seemed well chuffed with that.  :y  A child in an old mans body lol. Just hope he keeps an eye on where it is as he wouldn't survive a hit from that.  :o  That's some weight to get airborne as well. We used to see how many squats we could do with a forging anvil when I was an apprentice and some of those are bloody heavy.   :y

If you're referring to the squats with a forging anvil, we would hook an elbow under each end and lift with our legs. Unfortunately my spindly little legs used to allow me to do the lift but then I was in the shit as I needed to put it back down, so yeah, in my case none.  ;D :y

Good to see a pair of ole fellas playing silly buggers and having a bit of fun, rather than sat in their chairs.  :y

Hardly, other videos show Australians and Finns having a go. And they're much crazier than Americans.
