Pat Robertson and the One Ton Lie

Posted on | May 25, 2006

I have been hearing about Pat Robertson has some miracle shake that allows him to do incredible feats. According to the Christian Broadcasting Network Pat is able to leg press 2,000 lbs. The got the attention of some weight lifters who contacted Clay Travis, a writer with CBS’s SportsLine.Com who pens the column ClayNation, who subsequently wrote an article on Robertson’s claim. The column, entitled "Pat Robertson’s magical protein shake"

In order to reach 2,000 pounds of resistance a leg press machine, or any machine for that matter, would have to be equipped with twenty-two 45-pound plates and two 10-pound ones. Travis also notes that:

That would mean a 76-year-old man broke the all-time Florida State University leg press record by 665 pounds over Dan Kendra. 665 pounds. Further, when he set the record, they had to modify the leg press machine to fit 1,335 pounds of weight. Plus, Kendra’s capillaries in his eyes burst. Burst. Where in the world did Robertson even find a machine that could hold 2,000 pounds at one time? And how does he still have vision?

Clay closes the topic by stating he sent the following e-mail to CBN asking to interview Robertson and help him set up the specialized leg press machine, because they had to modify one for Dan Kendra too, to do a 2,000lbs load.

Nice try Pat. You should just stick to lying to people about religion and morals.
