In 2006, James Spurgin was involved in a motorcycle accident that left him without the use of his right arm. After learning to live with one functioning arm, he eventually took up the sport of powerlifting. Now nicknamed The One Armed Bandit, James is putting up some tremendous numbers with just one arm.

As inspiring as that video was - did he reach legal depth on those squats?

I was gonna say the same thing but thought I was just being a slack prick I mean he has 1 arm who gives a shit about his depth. But you know what fuck it, it's not like he is squatting with 1 leg. I say get that arse down or it doesn't count.

If there is a fed that passes squats like that I am going to compete in it 180kg squat here I come.

hahha... You're an honest guy, I give you that much.

I tell you what though, while he didn't quite lock out that last bench press, try pressing anything approaching heavy with one hand in the middle of the bar. Blow that.

Just PLEASE, please please please... Video it if you do.
