Stephen Paea and His Feats of Strength

 Oregon State University's Stephen Paea wowed observers at the National Football League's pre-draft meat market where college players undergo all kinds of physical and mental tests in hopes of getting selected higher by a pro team.

In this video below from over the weekend at the "draft combine," Paea bench-pressed 225 pounds a combine-record 49 times.  If you want to feel completely inadequate physically, watch Paea perform this feat of strength.
