It’s all too common that bad people are featured more often and more prominently in the news for what they’ve done or haven’t done. \u00a0 Good people don’t make headlines that most people want to read. \u00a0 They just live exemplary lives.<\/p>\n
So it is with Joe Rollino. \u00a0 I get up quite early each day to read news headlines and do some work before I do my workout for the day and today was no exception. \u00a0 When I saw the headline, “104-Year-Old Strongman Dies After Being Hit by Car<\/a>” it just seemed more interesting than many of the others. \u00a0 What I read made me wish that the day’s news was filled with stories about the Joe Rollinos of the world, but, of course, before they died.<\/p>\n According to the article that appears in the New York Times<\/a>, “Joe Rollino once lifted 475 pounds. He used neither his arms nor his legs but, reportedly, his teeth. With just one finger he raised up 635 pounds; with his back he moved 3,200. He bit down on quarters to bend them with his thumb”.<\/p>\n
