did nassim taleb really boast about deadlifting 400 lbs? That isn't very much for a deadlift if you lift consistently...

He may be a pompous jerk but 400 lbs is still significant.

Running a Marathon every day for a week isn’t really much of an achievement for Extreme runners... but people are still allowed to be proud of running even a single Marathon. He wasn’t claiming to be an olympic weightlifter just sharing his PRs with pride.
