Its not my record, but what I managed the other day. Almost 2.5 times my own lard, I mean weight.

Indeed, but as a competing amateur power lifter I go way beyond the sensible limit. I can climb indefatigably, but carrying 70lbs of muscle mass I didn't have a decade ago pretty much negates any benefit, so in NET terms I'm probably about where I would be if I didn't lift at all.
I'm certainly not fast, even on the flat, though it is gratifying that my Strava times are very competitive to those of my associates who are a similar size/weight, many of whom are quite a bit younger.
Still, its worth it to not look like Mr Bean in lycra.

Considering I'm within a fraction the same height, weight and chest as big Dolph when he played Ivan Drago (hence my nickname at work) id rather hope for better, but I am heading downhill for 50 and did suffer a heart attack in February, so I'm happy enough.

Sorry to hear about your heart attack. What other big lifts have you got, i.e. dead lift and bench? Did you ever do clean and jerks?
