Ironmen: "Dan Rupert crouches inside a 180-pound frame of chrome-myolybdenum steel alloy like a man wearing the bones of a robot gorilla. Metal bars cantilever over his shoulders and down along his arms, terminating in menacing, knuckle-dragging hooks. At his feet, an industrial screw drive hums quietly. Rupert, a high school engineering teacher from San Diego, isn't trying to look like a supervillain. He is trying to lift a 650-pound barbell in front of a crowd of several hundred people. The exoskeleton - nicknamed Technotrousers - is supposed to make it happen."

I get the feeling he doesn't quite "get" the idea behind weight-training.
For a lot of people, the idea is to get onlookers to say "oh my god, he's so cool!" In which case I'd say he understands fine.
Help me Grommet! These are the WRONG TROUSERS!!!!
And they've gone wrong!
Watch out, next he will be stealing a large diamond!
Wallace and Gromit and powerloaders, together again!
Rupert, a high school engineering teacher from San Diego, isn't trying to look like a supervillain.
He's trying to look like a dork. And succeeding!
I was thinking of a dressed-down phil collins.
I'm pretty sure that guy teaches at the school I used to go to in San Diego. There was a Mr. Rupert (Rupe) who taught engineering who looks strikingly similar to that man. And my school was really rich and into robotic competitions.
