Via Rob Farley comes a report from a German reporter who watched Obama hit the weights:
He goes and picks up a pair of 16 kilo weights and starts curling them with his left and right arms, 30 repetitions on each side. Then, amazingly, he picks up the 32 kilo weights! Very slowly he lifts them, first 10 curls with his right, then 10 with his left.32 kilos is about 70 pounds. Not sure I believe this, but it does point towards an interesting campaign strategy in which Obama proves his national security chops by winning an arm wrestling match with a bear. That's the sort of foreign policy experience Americans tend to want in their candidates.
