Mighty Mac Batchelor - Undefeated Armwrestling Champ "Mighty" Mac Batchelor doing his thing -- Mac was undefeated for over a quarter century at armwrestling.
Mac was quite the athlete - at a bodyweight of 330 pounds, he could run the hundred yard dash in 11 seconds and hurl the javelin 190feet.
He also could squat 400 for reps, perform the Zottman Curl with 90 pound dumbbells and Stiff Leg Deadlifts with 500 pounds.
I sure wouldn't want to be across the table from ol' Mac...
