When I was a kid of about 15 my class went to see the winners of the Grey Cup (Canadian Football). We got the grand tour of the stadium and the locker room and the workout room. There was a bench press set with about 350 lbs 155 kg. that one of the professional players had been using to work out. One of the smaller guys in the class asked if he could try to press that weight. The trainer said that he could but he would need to go get another trainer to help spotting. Before the trainer got back the little guy dropped on the bench did 5 reps and slammed the weights back on the rack. What the trainer didn't know was that we were all a bunch of tough farm kids but the little guy was by far the strongest kid in the class.
