Yeah!
EDDIE HALL: Let's go, Obie.
As soon as you picked it up, you were shaking
like a dog having a [bleep].
NICK BEST: I'm not looking forward to this.
This is going to be rough.
BRIAN SHAW: Oh, wow.
That's way bigger than I thought it was going to be.
BRIAN SHAW: Yeah, totally.
We want to investigate the $15,000 silver
dollar squat that Paul Anderson did at the Mapes Casino.
If we were to fill the boxes completely filled with coins--
what did it come out to?
4,209 pounds.
Wow.
There's absolutely no way that thing was
all the way of silver dollars.
EDDIE HALL: So we knew there must have been
a fake wall, then, for those coins
to come all the way to the top.
BRIAN SHAW: Based on our calculations,
the actual setup that he squatted was 720 pounds.
Come on.
Yeah!
Let's go, Obie.
Pull!
Stay where you are.
Let's go, Obie.
BRIAN SHAW: Picking up the squat setup for the first time
was pretty crazy.
It was shaking, so trying to stay stable
was a very hard thing to do.
Let's go, Obie.
You got this.
Let's go.
Up.
Good.
Down.
Set yourself.
Big breath.
Come on, Obie.
And up!
Easy.
Great job, Obie.
That a boy.
Awesome, man.
The boxes are so awkward, it works our whole core.
It was so wobbly.
Oh, my god.
It was the hardest squat at that weight I've
ever had in my entire life.
EDDIE HALL: The squat itself was a scary set up.
It really was.
Let's go!
Nothing.
Because we had all our weight in the front of the boxes.
Ease into it.
Don't jerk it up.
Good.
Down.
Rack clear.
As soon as you picked it up, you were shaking
like a dog having a [bleep].
Get up!
Good squat.
Rack.
Rack!
Good job.
[shouting]
It was just such a scary thing to do.
It's like squatting during an earthquake.
The only way I can describe it.
Let's get this done, then.
Come on.
It's only weight.
I'm not looking forward to this.
This is going to be rough.
Come on.
Nice and easy.
Gentle into it.
Come on.
Good.
Good!
Stay where you are.
Find the balance.
Find the balance. - I've got it.
Come on.
Let's go, Nick!
Sound it off.
You've got it.
Easy.
[shouting]
[bleep]
No, no, no.
Do this.
We're good. We're good.
Drop it.
OK, drop it, drop it, drop it.
I lost my balance squatting the coins due to the bar
being whippy. - You're all right?
Everything OK?
Yeah, I just gotta get these knee rests off.
Yeah, just breathe.
That was probably the shakiest bar I've ever put on my back.
I couldn't stay stable with it.
And as I started to squat down, I just lost it forwards.
There was nothing I could do, and it
just slammed me right down.
Do you want to do it again, or no?
I wouldn't, man.
That scared me, bro.
And honestly, I almost hurt myself
trying to pick that up off you.
Yeah.
You don't have anything to prove, man.
Yeah, but I've got to prove it to me.
It's up to you, Nick.
I want it.
You want it.
I want it.
All right, buddy.
All right.
I can't believe he's about to do this again.
That doesn't seem smart to me.
Focus.
Let's go.
Tight, tight.
Come on.
Step up.
Let's go!
Plant your feet and don't move them.
Do not move. - Come on.
Let's go. Come on, Nick.
You're right where you need to be, Nick.
Let's go. Come on!
Ease into it.
East into it.
There. Good.
Free.
Your weight.
Go.
And up!
Good push.
That a boy.
All right.
That's better.
Let me get some.
Coming up with that, and coming back and getting it
was definitely one of the best feelings I ever got in my life.
I'm really glad I did this.
I mean, I love Paul Anderson, so--
You do realize that Paul Anderson was 24 years old when
he did this lift, right?
And so you are more than double his age,
which is a feat in itself, man.
Yeah, that's awesome, man.
Well done, buddy.
Really, really good.
Thanks, guy.
Yeah.
Aw, come here, bro.
Yeah.
Come on, bud.
Group hug.
Bring it in.
