Track Star for the 2008 Olympics
This is a pretty sweet story. This guy ran track in college, and after he decided to work a sales job, he decided he needed to get back in to track. Watch the video. At 6'4 225lbs he ran a 10.3 100 meters, he also at the end runs 40s and runs a 4.16. This guy is pretty inspirational.

I wonder if he can throw because he might be better suited for the decathlon.

That's a great story. Here's to him fulfilling his dream.

I put his 21 reps of 255 pounds on the bench into a 1 rep max calculator and it says he could put up 574 pounds.
