this is going to be good.
This gym owner is a moron
i’m not in shape at all anymore and i could do that without blinking.
what is it, 50 pounds??
And NO i dont like cuomo. I HATE him and his bro
but the guy is wrong
Cuomo’s biceps are not bulging as he lifts the weight. I’m suspicious.
$1,000 isn’t all that much in this context.
Knee cap Chris Cuomo and he goes from being Arnold Schwarzenegger to Arnold Stang.
Where can I buy fake prop weights? I want to show off.
lol. so, you tweeted that you were going to post this to FR for continued ridicule, and now dpnumbers won’t put it back in the pants.
I’m sure this isn’t turning out like you planned.
Good post, Doug.
Why in the world are some of you being so nasty to each other? Just give your opinion and perspective. We are fighting the leftists, not each other.
This business owner is making a challenge, some may call it a rather ludicrous bet to make. Why is he doing this? Because he’s desperate. He’s treading water right now. A lot of small business owners are about to lose their entire personal investment, their livelihood and their way of life due to these prolonged shut downs.
While the rules keep changing, the rent has to be paid, even though very little income is expected. Private renters have some protection against eviction (for now), most businesses do not. I would guess liability insurance has to be kept up as well, in case a BLM’er gets hit in the head by a piece of ceiling falling out after the last Molotov has been tossed. Many of these business owners have school age children. That’s yet another layer of issues to worry about and/or try to manage.
In the picture theres a dumbbell and also a bunch of heavy metal stuff.
I lift weights. Used to bulk up in my younger days. The triceps exercise that Cuomo is doing I have done before, typically with 25 lb dumbbells. There is no freaking way he could do this lift with a 100 lb dumbbell. The strongest lifters can probably do 60 or 70 lbs, but likely wouldnt go that heavy for safety reasons.
He most likely took the weight with both hands, moved it over his head. Balanced it for a few seconds as he pretended to type before letting the weight fall to the side.
No way he lifted it one hand from that position with proper engagement.
That’s probably why the owner is demanding he lift it in his presence rather than claim the weight is fake. He’s cheating an exercise to look tougher.

As a former gym rat myself (about 40 pounds ago - getting old SUCKS), you’d need some formidable triceps, lats, and trap muscles to press that amount from a sitting position. Biceps aren’t the Alpha and Omega of it, they’d only get a good curl going to get the weight lateral with the shoulder for the press. Cuomo is a windbag to begin with, he doesn’t look like he has enough muscle mass to hoist anything that heavy, and I call bullshit on the whole thing.
Its probably real. His ego is way over 100 pounds,so he has lots of practice.
Doug! Where have you been? I was thinking the other day I haven’t seen you posting for quite a while, and was a little concerned. Are you still bowling?
Anyway, glad your still kicking around.
Negative! Cuomo’s triceps are no way massive enough to do that movement with that weight. Nope. Ain’t happening. If his upper body was developed enough to work with that load he’d have a chest (and arms) that could bench 450ish pounds. Never! I’ll put up $10 of my own right now.
There is no way that is a 100 lbs.
