Let's Get Serious For A Second

Posted by Bess Levin, May 29, 2008, 11:30am

Stuart "You Go Girl" Sugarman is now claiming not only that Christopher "I'll Show You Roid Rage" Carter threw him and his bike into a wall, but that Carter was strong enough to hold the rider (who by his own estimation weighs 200 lbs) and the ride (150 lbs) over his head for several seconds, look up at him and shout, "F you," which we'd normally spell out but in this case get the distinct impression we're dealing with two guys who substitute 'eff' for 'fuck' in the middle of a fight taking place in a spin class comprised mostly of women at an Equinox gym on the Upper East Side. I don't care who you think is at fault in this situation (I'm actually inclined to think it's a draw. People who work out audibly should be shot but damaging sheetrock is a little intense). I just want to know--is this feat of strength even possible? I suppose in instances like these you have to suspend disbelief, but this sounds like a demonstration of superhuman strength made up by a guy wearing a fake neck brace. Obviously, I'm going to see if we can find out what Charlie Gasparino thinks. In the meantime, discuss amongst yourselves.

Within each of us, ofttimes, there dwells a mighty and raging fury.

ive seen db's clean and jerk 400 lbs in the morning and another 500 in the afternoon, rest assured - its possible.

jerking that much gets tiring though. sometimes you have to take short breaks between jerking marathons because your forearms can get tired. chaffage is also an issue, but well worth the price of multiple jerks.

I should get "damages" for having to read about it.

Another dipshit hedge fund guy doing something dumb and publicized. Thank God for companies like SAC which give the hedge fund business a good and honorable name.

wtf kind of spinning bike weighs 150lbs? Thought those things were more like 50-75lbs tops, no?

Also, bess, sheetrock is not very resiliant, unless you hit a stud (badump bump)

Anyone who takes a spin class with women shouting "you go girl", holds flowers in a photo and nicknames himself Shug - is a douchebag. You win universe, I'm actually rooting for the broker.

With HGH I bet he could've beat him with the bike, and hit about 80 homers in a season.

While I believe it's entirely possible to hold 350 lbs. over your head for several seconds, I'm somewhat dubious of the mechanics of it.

So was "You go girl" guy on a the bike, when broker guy lifted him? How anybody could get a man on a stationary bike over their head with their compliance, would be a Herculean task of balance and core strength. Without compliance? no possible way.

So was "You go girl" guy in one hand, and the bike in an one hand, and a bike in the other? The only possible way, is that the broker lifted "You go girl" with both hands, then using one hand, suspended him in the air while he proceeded to pick up the stationary bike. Most plausible, but still unlikely. And why pick up the bike anyways?

Will either of their boyfriends be testifying on their behalf?

How high are the ceilings at this spinning class?

He sheet-rocked his world...

//shows self out.

And for the record, I'm rooting for putting them both in jail, supply plenty of shoelaces and let's see how it plays out.

HAM yes but a bike with a man on it is not a barbell, the mechanics of lifting one of those things is completely different from snatch or clean and jerk.

and yes, sheetrock is not actually rock, it is just plasterboard. you should have consulted with Gasparino on that one he could have set you straight

Sugardick should be THANKING Equinox the wall wasn't concrete, they should then counter-sue his candy ass for damages incurred from his verbal assault on the ears of his fellow members, and for violating some random gym policy (respecting others, blah blah)

btw am I the only one who thinks he looks like he coulda been a stunt double in Harry & the Hendersons?

Posted by I am a Dude, May 29, 2008 4:49PM

yes Anal_yst, i'm afraid you are

Posted by guest, May 29, 2008 5:47PM

2 knuckleheads

I mean Carter and Sugarman , not FUNdamental and bittergreen

Posted by guest, May 29, 2008 5:47PM

Yeah, that guy's 200 pounds like I'm 125.

And what is with that Carter dude's face? He needs to get himself an oxypad and wipe himself and his grease down.

Posted by guest, May 29, 2008 5:54PM

Carter used to work with Barry Ritholtz ...........maybe he body-slammed that chimp also

Posted by guest, May 29, 2008 6:16PM

I don't think Barry wants anyone to know that he worked for a "chop shop "

Posted by guest, May 29, 2008 6:17PM

Is that guy on crack ?

Posted by guest, May 29, 2008 6:17PM

I don't think Barry wants anyone to know that he worked for a "chop shop "

Posted by guest, May 29, 2008 6:20PM

Barry's head is as big as a VW Bug
