Central Iowa Strong-Man

Mark Hennessey isn't a guy you would want to make angry. He could curl Chuck Norris up in a little ball and hurl him. He is a professional power-lifter. Mark is going to Finland soon to try and break the bench press record for his height and weight. He is pretty confident he will beat it. He is 49 years old!!! Most people at that age lift the TV remote and a bag of chips daily, but he is benching around 700 pounds!
This isn't just some guy going for a record, he is one of my best friend's (Jake) uncle. I have talked to Mark a few times about his goals. He told me he wasn't even a very big guy coming out of high school and has never touched steroids. He just had a goal and as you can see, he worked HARD at it! He could use our help to get there too, the T-shirts he is selling are pretty nifty!

...and FYI boys may went to get on his good side, because his daughter (Jake's cousin) is "oh so stunning"!
