[ChiefD]

I can easily carry 4x8 sheets of 3/4” plywood.

Height: 5’7”
Weight: 156

 

[ChiefD]

50# bags of concrete over either shoulder.

 

[gianmarco]

I can pee with one hand.

 

[Hastur]

Right after high school, I had a job on the docks of a coca cola bottling plant. Had to carry 2 5 gallon containers of soda essentially for 8 hours a day. I was in good shape then. Not so much now.

 

[Snoopy]

Held a then-high school (for the school) record for squatting.

 

[Parrothead]

i managed to carry (slowly) a half keg up 2 flights of stairs in college.. wasn't easy but thirsty dogs lift harder

 

[El Floppo]

I can throw a Ritz cracker a country mile.

 

[Don Quixote]

Thinking about grabbing a pretty full 1.75L of bourbon down from the highest shelf in my kitchen in a bit for some weightlifting. May be lighter when I put it back.

 

[Major]

Back in 82, I could throw a pigskin a quarter mile. If coach woulda put me in the 4th quarter, we coulda won state. No doubt in my mind.

 

[Mister CIA]

Can carry all plastic grocery bags from car in one trip.

 

[Hastur]

I can throw a Ritz cracker a country mile.

I had a friend who could do that, but he freaked out and lost his grip on reality after going camping with his wife and buddy Steve. He came back from the camping vacation and hid his dirty underwear in the ceiling at work. Last I heard he was trying to understand why a pizza that is 2 inches larger is significantly larger.

That's my jam. I'll grab them all before the wife comes back to the trunk and holds up her two free hands. Get the door baby, daddys got this.

 

[eoMMan]

I can smell da feet in the air.

How many at once?

Just one. I have a bad neck.

 

[Zow]

I hit a golf ball at least as least as far as the average pro* despite being way out of shape and spending most of my time at a desk all week and my back constantly hurts.


*I do not convert that to scoring like the average pro.

 

[Jayrod]

I just barely got up off the couch during a playoff game to load the dishes in the dishwasher because my wife asked me to.

Took every ounce of strength within me.

 

[fatness]

I can pee with one hand.

I can't. Strains my back every time I try.

Same here, although they eventually kicked me out of the bathroom.

I'm thinking of buying a couple of those so I can double my workout.

Username checks out.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

I have incredibly strong fingers and forearms. (It’s from cutting carpet and moving furniture when I worked for a carpet company as a kid.) I can lift obnoxiously heavy things using only a finger or two. Moved A lot of furniture and desks through doorways. Wasn’t room for hands.

I can throw a football 70 yards

ETA - Oh and dumbbell butterfly’s. I did millions of these growing up and it seems like an exercise others struggle with.

I can pee with one hand.

Lucky. I still have to use my Penix.

Yeah, me too. I haven't met a stuck jar I can't get unstuck.

I think I’m better at airing grievances than feats of strength.

 

[urbanhack]

8 to 10 miles of disc golf in a day with the equivalent of 80 to 90 flights of stairs while carrying a 16 to 20lb disc golf bag. That's all I got.

This is a severely underrated post...

Ditto - but then I have to set them on the floor because I can't lift either arm high enough to get to the counter.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

This winter, I grabbed three 50 pound bags of ice melt and slung them over my shoulder to carry to the counter to pay. And I was feeling kind of impressed with myself when the cashier said,”you can just tell us how many bags and we’ll bring them to your car.”

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Can someone find or link to that post from way back where the guy offered an open bet for anyone in a series of athletic feats and posted his stats? I can picture it but don’t remember the posters name.

This is solid.

When I go to Home Depot I like to have a couple 2x4's over my left shoulder, carry a couple tubes of caulk or something in my right hand, set those on the counter so they can ring them up while the 2x4's are still on my shoulder, reach for my wallet with my right hand and pull out my credit card, tap it and pay, then put it and my wallet back in my pocket, grab the caulk or whatever was in my right hand, and head to the car.

That's a major league flex, boys and girls.

Sure..that's great....but how far can you throw a disc?

 

[Major]

Can easily wolf down 500-1000 mg of THC edibles and not feel a thing. Maybe a bit drowsy from all the sugar and in need of nap. Folks in the weed thread cautiously ingesting their 5-10mg girlieman doses crack me up.

 

[Gally]

I hit a golf ball at least as least as far as the average pro*

I can do that too. The problem it may be out of bounds or in a hazard or the adjacent fairway of another hole. Really I have no idea where it will go.

(and it may be 20-50 yds shorter than the average pro but many it goes way out of bounds sometimes)

I call BS here. No way you are getting all those things on one trip to Home Depot. Any home project requires at least 3 or 4 trips to the HD so no need to be an overachiever by bringing all that to the register at once. You have two or three more trips to make. Don't be a hero.

ETA: Plus we all know that you don't go to Home Depot without bringing back another shovel.

This is still nuts to me.

I had 5 mgs last night and went to another planet.

Your way sounds like a way cheaper buzz. What's the point of taking something if it has no effect?

To your point, I stopped trying and wasting money years ago. I'll still have the random friend who will bet me I can't do such and such, so I occasionally abide if the money is right.

I love lifting weights but in my day to day also enjoy practical lifts like what you did here with the ice. Highly recommend farmer carries with lots of groceries if you live walking distance from your local supermarket. Great for cardio and strength training while saving gas/carbon emissions

Not sure if it's really strength, but I can sit cross legged on the floor and stand up.

A recent campfire conversation with some long time friends revealed that most of them cannot even sit cross legged on the floor anymore.

No - this was a legendary schtick post from about 20 years ago that was reposted over and over.

Still a noodle arm.
