Screenshot from official Pentagon video<\/p><\/div>\n

Flashback a couple months: Before War Secretary Pete Hegseth<\/strong> became famous for his “Roid Rage” press conferences at the Pentagon, he gained renown with a video of himself bench pressing 315. I wasn’t impressed. I commented on Facebook: \u201cI bench-pressed that much when I was in high school. Guys past the age of 30 who fixate on their bench press totals tend to avoid mental heavy lifting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hell hath no fury<\/strong><\/a> like hypersensitive weightlifters and Hegseth worshippers. A thousand angry comments surged onto my Facebook page<\/a>. Zealots proclaimed that I was a \u201cbolshevik,\u201d \u201cdouchebag,\u201d \u201cfucking moron,\u201d \u201ccrybaby leftist,\u201d \u201csoyjak,\u201d \u201cold cnt,\u201d \u201cjust being a hater,\u201d and \u201cfuckin clown.\u201d <\/strong>The online mob was certain that I had probably never done any weightlifting in my life.<\/p>\n

I would not have bothered responding except busloads of folks were doubting my statement. As I explained in a Mises Institute piece on the controversy,<\/strong><\/a> I was a competitive weightlifter in my teens. But I had no video or documentary evidence on that score.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I came across the mimeographed meet results from a Clean and Jerk weightlifting competition from May 1972.\u00a0 I was 15 and came in second in the 165 pound category with a lift of 180.\u00a0 I cleaned (lifted from the floor up to my shoulders) 190 three times but never quite locked out my elbows with the bar above my head. But I did lift more that day than the heavyweight champion for my age category. The Official Virginia Strength and Power Hall of Fame<\/a> cites that 1972 Culpeper contest as a memorable event in the history of Virginia weightlifting.<\/p>\n

I shifted away from weight-lifting competition after that, figuring that I had a better chance of poaching a college scholarship throwing discus. (Wrong, dude.) I first bench-pressed 315 two years later in a duel with a fellow track team discus thrower.\u00a0 I don’t have a video of that competition but I was 30 pounds heavier and in the top tier of Virginia high school discus throwers that year.\u00a0 Most guys can bench press significantly more than they can hoist overhead with a Clean and Jerk lift.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, this was long ago in the last century. And there are lots of controversies nowadays worth a helluva more attention….<\/p>\n
