Kyle Gulledge

[Tor]

Hey Rip,

A while back I came across a video clip of a 19-year old kid in a mohawk and Chuck Taylors absolutely smoking an 830 lb. deadlift. A little research on the web confirmed this awesome feat of strength. His name was Kyle Gulledge.

Fast forward to this morning when I was re-reading the foreword in Starting Strength (yeah, I know...) and came across that very same name.

Bizarre coincidence? The video clip was over two years old at least. Any news on where he's at now?

Last I heard, Kyle was in chiropractic college. Good guy, hell of an athlete. Tell him I said hi if anybody sees him.

Jesus, what a beast. He made those lifts look really light.

What chiropractic college is he attending? If he is at Logan College of Chiropractic by any chance I'm teaching a class over there now.

I don't know. Maybe he'll tell us.
