Health24 speaks to America's strongest man Derek Poundstone

America's Strongest Man, Derek Poundstone was in Cape Town recently where Health24 caught up with him. Here he talks about his training methods and his nutrition regime -- and demonstrates why he's one of the most popular bodybuilders in the US. Watch as he rips the Yellow Pages in half, rolls a Teflon-coated frying pan into a pancake and hoists a shy waitress above his head to do a few push presses.

@RayfulM5 it's true you moron, he gets 800lbs for 10 reps lol. just under 1000lbs for one rep.

@RayfulM5 not a lie... look around some videos on youtube. he has videos of him doing weights close to that for reps
