Quote HistoryQuoted:
He is probably demonstrating some technique or tactic for the troops who are standing around. I think he's saying the guy does not look like he's making the weight standard compared to the majority of pics here... Hard to say from the pic. I did notice that as well, My initial thought was he looked heavier then what you are use to seeing in a SF thread. |
