What would you guys say?

If I said I knew someone that took a brand new shock absorber and compressed it completely together... like squeezing it so it was completely compacted?

HOLY SH*T! You must be f'ing strong! Can I feel your arm?

Turbomuscle4U2 · #3 April 2nd, 2004, 08:10 AM

Its not me... its a friend of mine. And yeah I nearly passed out when I saw him do it.

mlbjock · #4 April 2nd, 2004, 10:13 AM

Yeah that's an amazing feat of strength. This the first time he's done something like this and how big is your bud?

Don't know if this should go somewhere else, but...

I've been working out consistently (3x wk) at my gym for about 14months. During Feb and March, I didn't go because I was recuperating from an injury and was also on travel.

I just started back in this week, after being out since the first week of February.
Anyway, a guy at the gym that I've gotten to talk to, seems to have gotten noticibly bigger in that time. When I last saw him in Jan., he was about 5'9", maybe 180# +/- 5 lbs. or so. Thicker than average, with a bit of a pec bulge.

This week, he's much bigger -- pecs are much thicker, arms are definitely bigger. Looks like he's gained 10 pounds! Most impressive, I saw him doing sets of sloow barbell curls with 135#! Never saw him do that before! Afterwards, he was pretty pumped!

Slow and steady progress......

How much strength would it take to do something like that?

mlbjock · #7 April 3rd, 2004, 08:08 AM

I'm not sure...I'd assume that it'd at LEAST several hundred lbs of pressure per sq. inch.

Turbomuscle4U2 · #8 April 3rd, 2004, 09:55 AM

No wonder it hurts when he gives me a bearhug.

mlbjock · #9 April 4th, 2004, 08:39 AM

Yeah...that makes sense.

How 'bout you dude...you ever do any feats of strength?

CelticMuscle · #10 April 4th, 2004, 08:45 AM

but hardly spectactular

Now rolling a frying pan up, now that's a different matter altogether

Turbomuscle4U2 · #11 April 4th, 2004, 10:48 PM

Im sure he could probably do that... Maybe I'll ask him to do that next.

mlbjock · #12 April 6th, 2004, 06:51 AM

Would definitely be cool to find out.

The super thin/flimsy frying pans that they sell at Dollar Tree don't count.

If you know someone that can roll a frying pan up, let me know so I can come and watch

Guiness World Records Primetime
August 4th 2000
Tallest human chair stack; two men attempt to roll a frying pan like a newspaper. 9:00pm Friday

It might be listed in the Guiness World Records Book as well

paarke · #16 April 6th, 2004, 03:41 PM

Thanks, I'll have a look, what are your frying pan rolling skills like?

sexiscriptor · #17 April 15th, 2004, 02:28 PM

I think regardless, all of these are amazing feats to behold or about which to read. Congrat's to anyone who CAN perform them!
