Recently, Funny Car icon John Force described his encounter with Pro Stock
legend Greg Anderson. The picture Force painted of Anderson described a professional weight-lighter type.
Force said Anderson intimidated him so badly that he left the gym after seeing 300 pounds loaded on the bench press.
“No one can ever accuse John Force of ever exaggerating much, he probably built the exaggeration factor quite a bit, but he tells a good story no doubt about it,” Anderson said, pausing to laugh.
Anderson said there was no reason for Force to be embarrassed because the 14-time champion has plenty to be proud of.

“I was shocked to see him in the gym,” Anderson said. “Force was giving all he's got; I'll give him that. That's why he's back. He's giving one-hundred percent, there's no question his age is probably showing a bit, so is mine and so is a lot of peoples but he's giving 100% trying to get to the top of his game.
“I kind of thought myself maybe there wouldn't be much fire left in the guy, I was wrong, when I saw him in the gym that day I realized the fire is still there. He's going to come back 100% and he’ll be as good, even better than he ever was. Hey my hat's off to the kid.”
Force called a kid?
“The bottom line is we were both in the gym, both doing what we have to do and that's why we're there because we both want to win so bad. We want to prove it. We want to work at it harder than any other guy, that's why we're in the gym,” Anderson said. “He's older than I am and he was working every bit as hard; if not harder than I was. He's amazing.”
But, can Anderson really press 300?
“It was definitely under, definitely take the under on that one,” Anderson answered.
