Jokes aside, this octogenarian was living his golden years enviably. He was summiting peaks last fall, doing 500 lb barbell curls, and still sparring in his birthday video just 10 days ago. We’ve all gotta go sometime, but the way Chuck Norris went out was the way I’d want to go—able to do it all right up until the end. He was a lot of folks’ childhood hero, but that title is freshly renewed in my eyes. I have new inspiration in my fitness endeavors going forward.

- threetonesun 7mo agoThose are... very fake weights. Or AI. But probably just fake weights.
- pesus 7mo agoHe forgot to actually curl it. Like someone else said, the weights are almost certainly not actually 500lbs. Even elite bodybuilders and strongmen in their prime don't come close to curling 500lbs, let alone an old man. Looking at the video, if it was legitimate, it would be 585lbs (6 45lb plates on each side plus a 45lb bar), which is even less believable.
- yunwal 7mo agoTo be clear, this is 100% a joke. The world (at least as of a few years ago), was about half that weight. https://old.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/pdklnx/leroy_the_machine_walker_just_set_a_world_record/ https://old.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/pdklnx/le...
