Game Thread: Hamilton Tiger-Cats @ Toronto Argoanuts - September 23, 2023

[ArgoZ]

Judging by Oulette's 635lb squat this week, I think it's safe to say he is just a healthy scratch, and they are giving him a rest.

3 times his weight. That’s impressive.

Does he have anything on Dino Bravo though?

World bench press record? (with cheatin' help from The Body) ;o)


Glenn Kulka supposedly set the all-time football testing bench reps (@ 225 lbs.) record when he was with the Argos.

How many reps did Kulka press OV, any idea? Remember Michael Knill, an OT out of Laurier the Argos drafted late about 10 years ago? He did 47 at the CFL Combine. He got a job at IBM instead of signing with the team. Apparently he wasn’t considered a pro prospect.

I think Knill was more a weight-lifter than a football player.

Can't recall the Kulka total (maybe just over 50?), but the report I read on it claimed it was witnessed by some at Argo camp, so late 80s (?).

3DownNation had an article about Glenn Kulkka a couple of years ago:

“So camp was just starting with the Argos and all the guys, I think there were 90 of us, packed into the gym for testing. I actually wound up benching 225 pounds 60 times, but Bob O’Billovich didn’t count seven of my reps, probably because I failed to lock out. Either way, 53 was a huge number and the guys were going nuts, even the Americans with NFL experience. At the time it was a North American record and I still don’t think anyone in the CFL has come close.
Unfortunately, there was no combine back in those days and no video recording of it exists. But it’s gotta be in the Argos’ records somewhere.”

Too bad he was a walking steroid bottle.

No one has anything on Dino Bravo….or Iron Mike Sharpe. Get it right Will.

Let's hope no mob ties.
