So apparently Shaw and a nameless friend are starting a work out program back in first year university. The friend decides to start off benching a light weight, 140 lbs. Shaw having never benched before decides to test the weight and proceeds to pick up the bar and start arm curling the 140 lbs without effort. Shaw’s only comment, “yeah that’s kind of heavy” – as the 160 pounder arm curls near his own weight!
Disclaimer – Jason Shaw was working at the Home Depot brick yard at the time, where his work ethic and strength was already legendary.
