Notice the pants that big Iraqi is wearing. Seems like we are making some converts in Iraq.

Thanks WT, Awesome videos, I'm impressed at how much ordinance that has been found and destroyed yet there is always more. One has to wonder how much was carted off to Syria before 2003, and how much has been carted back in from Iran since. Huge arms on the Iraqi, LOL. My platoon in RVN had a set of balance weights off a metal brake, must have weighed over 200 lbs that we used for exercise, then we had two ammo cannisters filled with concrete on a pipe handle, much larger and lighter. We'd challenge the Viets to a match then switch from the canisters to the smaller heavier weights, press a few times overhead and watch the look on their faces when they couldn't even get them off the ground. Like that big Iraqi, they were good sports about it.

Bob, yes they are huge. Years ago Nick and I went to a few Arm Wrestling events in Los Angeles. Nick told me that it isn't always the aize of the guy or his arms, that it has a lot to do with tendon strength.

Tom, LOL I noticed that too. That is about as American as a person can get in regards to American gyms like Gold's gym and bodybuilding. hahaha

Jack, hahahaha thanks for sharing about your platoon in RVN.

I was thinking that too about all this tremendous amount of ordinance.
