It was raining the other day when I got home. I grabbed my 8X10 and carried it in so. It was quicker than putting it down, wheeling it, dragging it up the stairs, etc.

Are you sure he didn't grip it by the husk?

if you said it was an 8-10 pro cabinet, then I would be impressed. It's a pain just to roll that thing, and I'm a 6'2" 280 pound man...(not fat either...)

Giant

I had a good friend we called him Giant, He was (actually still is) roughly 7' 2" tall. he was of a gangly aspect so you could be fooled by how big and strong he was. the time that i recall most was when he carried my SVT cabs, both 8x10's one at a time into and down the length of CBGB's and stood at the edge of the stage hugging the speaker,asking "where ya want it",without breaking a sweat. He always accompanied me into the managers offices at gigs to collect at the end of a night too, I never had a problem.

I used to work with a guy that was like that too: huge, cut, crazy strong but short (5'3" maybe?). He always wore baggy long sleeved shirts so people didn't assume he was about 180lbs of pure muscle.

He lifted the back of a pickup truck and pushed the thing for a while when we got stuck in a mud puddle (and he didn't work out apart from playing soccer and a bit of amateur wrestling). Some people are just born strong I guess.
