    140kg curls still baffle me. I remember watching this video when that was my deadlift. Felt incredibly motivated and demotivated at the same time.

      Haha, I know that feeling. 140kg curls should baffle everybody.

    Very funny documentary. What was most impressive about the curls is there was not much cheating going on! The atlas stone pressing was impressive as well! They were always a good duo when they did the super series with the young Zydrunas, Girard etc…

    Have you seen the film made about Hugo Girard as well?
