I had alot of feats of strength in WoW. In real life, I haven't achieved anything worth mentioning. I can barely do normal pull ups.

Thanks Dave! I wanna see them one arm pull-ups brotha! Make us a video. Very inspirational.

We recently got some olympic rings put up in our gym so my next goal is to perform muscle-ups on the rings. Ive been doing them on a pull-up bar for a while so I dont know how much difference there will be in terms of difficulty but Im gonna find out. Ill make a video as soon as I can do one LOL!

David - I'd be more impressed if you were pulling yourself up instead of sideways like that!

Let me know when you guys start talking about feats of eating, then I'll put you guys to shame.

Sideways it twice as hard. Yesterday I ate six pan dulces in one sitting! Followed by 10 cold flour tortillas.

I've been working on this for a few weeks now, I'm jealous you can do them! And with both arms!

When I can finally do this, I'm gonna have to revive this thread and show you guys haha.

How many of you can do the flag thing (hold onto a pole and stretch body perpendicular to it with your arms extended rather than wrapped around the pole)?? I can do it pretty easily with my arms wrapped around, but I have a lot of work to do before I can do the real deal.

325 BP
485 Squat
415 deadlift

All a long time ago.
I got a picture somewhere when I was 18 shrugging 515 lbs...long time ago...25 years ago...

Was able to put 220 up in military press up on a stationary machine the other day. Arthritis coming and going in right elbow...but this was on a good day.
