Feats of Strength

[JohnnyDelRay]

Feats of strength eh. Well I have punched a metal drainpipe till it was flat, punched through a cupboard door, and managed to crack (not shatter) tempered glass. Yes, I was an angry little youth. I have also survived the 50 rounds black-belt sparring needed for a brown belt karate grading, after 2 hours of kata and other kumitae. Never did the black though, big respect for those that made it through that shit (100 rounds).

Recently, well I haven't done a lot, but last week I just did a pretty damn steep 30km hike over 2 days up into the forests and villages of West Java. That was quite insane, got the nasty blisters to prove it too. Life changing stuff, I'd like to do some more of it, still seems like chicken feed compared to those Racing the Planet or Ironman fellas.

I accidentally ripped off one of my testicles in a freak scooter accident and I only cried for 14 hours. I think that is pretty damn impressive.

Is that where you eat like 10 crackers in 60 Seconds? No help from water? If so I think that one is impossible. Me and a group of friends conceived every possible way of doing it and tried one afternoon. A single cracker at a time. All at once. 2 at once. 1 then fill mouth with saliva...from self lol.

Hmm, I heard it was 6. Still, it's a deceiving task altogether that makes no sense whatsoever.

I havent gone to sleep in about 72 hours. Does that count?

High five ************ you are part of the club here is your customary t-shirt.

It is a fake t-shirt you must dream about.

Man this club sucks.

Earlier this month I had to be up early in the morning and since I wasn't able to sleep decided to hit the gym. 6 hours later and having thrown up twice I felt more alive than I ever have in my life... I was also unable to move for a couple days after but it was still fun.

Feats of strength... I was so ready to post my entire list from WoW.

Okey, but to be serious, I got nothing special, which is what I like... However among my friends they usually keep calling me immortal since during the winter, I still keep wearing shorts and T-shirts because I am more tolerant to and that I love cold. So, that and being the computer guard during Dreamhack since I am the only one among my friends who do not sleep when we are there...

That is about the best I can do. And I like not being special.

While I never wear shorts (Like ever), I always wear short sleaves, even in the winter. Although, that might change this winter just because I found some long sleeved clothes I really liked, but I have plenty of tolerance for the cold. I prefer colder temperatures.

I don't really have any feats of strength. Like at all, I suck...

I think the biggest accomplishment of strength I ever did was...
well I am a 115lb girl, and after a lot of training, I was able to push almost 400lbs on the leg press at my gym.
I was pretty proud of that

knocking a tree down by tackling it comes to mind

 

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

I completed a similar challenge in which I chugged a two liter of Mountain Dew in less than 5 minutes. There was a video of it, but it got deleted before it could makes it's way to youtube sadly...

I'm a breakdancer. Not a great one but a decent one. I am also rather heavy set.
One day our group had an outdoor perfomance thing, make up our own routines and come and try not to make an ass of yourself or end up in a body cast by the end of the day.
It was raining, The huge mat we were using was slippery.
I messed up the beginning of my set so I tried to improvise into an elbow freeze(That's when you use your right forearm and left hand to do a handstand)
Slipped and endded up doing a trick where I'm supporting all of my weight on just my right elbow.
I hold this move for 10 seconds, How? I don't know, I just felt in equilibrium, then did a front flip from there in beat with the song.
Honestly, I had no idea how I managed to pull that off, especially considering how bad my set started out, but people have been asking me to pull that off again

Mine? I dunno. Hauling around 40 pounds of weight for a 4.5 mile walk then getting home and doing 80 push ups in under a minute and a half? Then there where the sit ups.

That sounds vaguely familiar from my life years ago. You wouldn't be military would you?

On topic I haven't really done anything that impressed myself, but I did recently get shown up by my fiance's sister's boyfriend, the guy picked up a clothes washing machine and carted it into my new house like it was a box of packing peanuts.

After a full day of birthday fun for my eldest son, I held our 8-man tent together from 11pm - 6am on a coastal hillside during gale-force winds and driving rain on Monday allowing my wife and kids to sleep. That involved creating ad-hoc windbreaks using cars, double-pegging guy-ropes, hourly patrols to re-peg, standing in personally as the third main strut for three hours at the peak of the storm to stop the other two struts collapsing - and then a 4 hour drive to get the family home the next day. Still tired now. I'm not so young anymore.

thats heroic on so many levels.

Recently? I tried to replicate Bruce Lee's one inch punch... yeah, I got nothing on him, though that's hardly a surprise.

Sports climbing national junior champion at age 15/16 (just around my birthday, don't remember excactly) fall 2004.
10'th place at the adults national championship a few weeks after.
Traversing (climbing sideways) 1 km climbing wall, only stopping when i reached the end (the wall was U-shaped) to walk about 10 meters to the start of the wall, and continue. Had blisters in my hands afterwards.

Those are all years ago, haven't done anything impressive strength-wise since.

As for other stuff, ate over 50 pieces of sushi at an all u can eat sushi restaurent, and not the small maki pieces, the big ones and the ones with a rice lumb with a piece of fish/shrimp on top.
Drank around 24-30 bottles of beer (33cl) at graduation-celebration when i graduated from gymnasium in 2007
Worked 48 hours over the course of friday 16:30 till monday 7:30, evening and nightshifts.

Oh, and i've survived several assasults by ninjas.
Trained ninjutsu for a year and a half, but since it was training, i guess it doesn't really quallify as attacks, and most of the time, it wasn't black-belts practicing their painfull tecniques on me, but still, it's painfull as hell.
