RIP Oliver Sacks: He Was Smarter And Stronger Than You
Yesterday the world lost one its greatest minds, neurologist and author Oliver Sacks.

Dr. Sacks was definitely a special human who not only understood incredibly complex concepts but was able to communicate them in a powerful, engaging, and interesting way. His books are incredibly interesting and I definitely recommend them to anyone looking to learn more about the mind, its disorders, and its capabilities.

Something you may not have known about him is that he was also a incredibly strong powerlifter. In fact, here he is talking about training his squat to 5x5 at 555lbs every 5th day.



He also set a CA state powerfliting record with a 600 pound squat in what looks like Doc Marten's, short shorts, and a bar pad. What a frackin' badass.
