Does Paul Ryan even lift?

I curled 40 pound dumbells for 8 reps each arm this morning and I was 161 pounds on the scale when I weighed in before my workout

Paul Ryan is, in theory, curling 40-pound dumbbells here, even though he told TIME he's into p90x, which is basically a High Intensity Interval Training regimen based on low weight and high number of reps. Forty-pound curls are what 250-pound, six percent body fat dudes rip off as they scream in the mirror. No fricking way, man. A dude of Ryan's size should be using 30s AT MOST.

Dude, really? This is all ya got? Wondering if the Speaker really lifts? Ya wanna meet him @ sonic? Post a pic of your knuckles.

I rarely defend the GOPe but give us a break.

This is just embarrassing. Curling 40 lb dumbbells is not that hard. I curl 50 lbs regularly and it's not like I'm some kind of bodybuilder.

Ok I read the article. I would personally call those 35 lb. weights, but it's perfectly legitimate to count the bar as 5 lbs.

Why not quote the pertinent part douche nozzle?

Ever been to a gym? Half the dudes in there are working out with 40 LB dumbbells

40lb curls are still a warmup weight.
