Thumbs up you wont believe this

Let me tell you about my weight lifting encounter today. my friend dave a.k.a. Wee-Dude is a little person or a midget(44" tall) if you would like to call him that. I havent known dave long he sits next to me in class and were in the same gym period. so today dave says "yo james check this out im gonna rep out on some exercises". he tells me hes gonna do bench press, squat and military press. Now im thinkin no fu**in way you dont lift any weights.So he walks in and i follow him then he starts off bench pressing. He puts 115lbs on a 7 FOOT BAR and starst repping it about 12 times. his feet dont veen touch the floor when he's on the bench, now i cant believe this im stunned this is like a new thing to me. hes 84 pounds and hes repping 115. so next he goes to squat, im definitly thinkin ok the joke stops here. He puts 135 lbs again on the 7 FOOT bar and starts squatting it about 8 times. everytime he goes down the plate is almost 2 inches off the floor and its pretty funny but he still reps this and im about to sh*t myself. after all this i just comepletely shut the hell up he goes to military press. he has 95 lbs on it and reps it 6 times and the teacher in the room says whats that bar doing floating around since he didnt know dave was military pressing and thats it. I'm all for dave working out but now i feel bad for him. He's a deisel midget but he doesnt look it. could it be a HGH problem? but on the other hand can you imagine seeing a midget squat?

-james

I saw a TV program on midgets one time and it mentioned something about them being very strong so it's not really uncommon to see a midget be very strong for his/her size. I don't know the science behind it but I do know it's true that they are quite strong for their size.

the only thing about midgets is their bone structure is smaller but the rest of their body is normal.
