What would you say?

If I told you I knew someone strong enough to lift a vw bugg off the ground?

I would say wow!!!

is this guy human???

I would tell you me and a friend have done it before.

Well what about just one person doing it?
Asala, Im beginning to wonder if this guy is human actually....

Are we talking just one end? or the whole fricking thing? Fully loaded? With iPod?

Ok so what is his build...
has he been training to do this?

this sounds amazing, did you see it yourself?
If you did i bet you were shocked!!!

Well just one tire but still thats gotta be at least a ton right? And no its not a new beetle... a classic 68 bug.

And if you saw him you wouldn't think he was strong or anything... just a normal build. He's had training.. of what kind im not really sure.

Have you seen the worlds stronges man competition? Those people can lift a lot. Does this person have huge muscles?

No, thats the scary part...

Theres a clear difference between lifting and raising an object, if one were to lift it then it would have to be completely off the ground (all of it) anything else would be raising it, so if he lifted a quarter of it off the ground you're talking around 200 kilo's which is around 350lbs, i haven't worked it out so feel free to correct me, the guy would be strong but not inhumanly strong.

Kudos to him though, many cant lift that much anyway.

Well still 350 pounds is a heck of a lot of weight.

Think its been done many times before.

Are you sure your were not on some drunken rampage and tried to pick one up yourself.
Iv seen that and it was quite funny seeing one of my freinds running around a parking lot thining he was the hulk.

Its around 160-165kgs. At my peak I benched very close to that...I regularly see guys benching waaaay more. So while it may be a decent amount of strength needed, it certainly wouldn't be abnormal or superhuman or anything.

What would that be in regular poundage? not kilo or anything?

Actually today he did something even more remarkable.. he moved an entire weight bench with 45 pound plates on either side with just his foot.

What is so special about that? How heavy was the weight bench?

The weight bench alone must weigh 180 plus the other weight on it.

Ask your friend how he is so strong if they do not work out.

dont underestimate the power of the mind and body...
and when the soul intervenes man can do even greater things...
