Default Russ Knipp Passes

Russ Knipp passed this sunday on his birthday. For those who dont know, he was an American weightlifter, and called the "Master of the Press." I want to be as best as I can be at my sport, but when I see what the old lifters did, I know I wouldnt have been able to compete with them.

Below is a photo gallery of his career.

Thanks, GQ.
It's important to know that there is history and tradition and that guys like Russ Knipp will be remembered for their contributions.
