My first PR in grip strength...I saw the video of the one guy doing it so I had to try it. I used a Red Bull can so I can see if I could even do that... Well first try, the hand I fractured started to cramp so I backed off. Waited a few minutes, drank a beer, and tried it inside. I started to feel it go so I ran outside, my bro grabbed the camera and bam sure enough, it fizzed, squirted, and ripped right open. I may try a beer this weekend but don't think I'll be able to get that, my right hand is just now getting back some strength. Anywho, I'll get to editing the vid tonight and will probably have it done in a few minutes.

PS: For who knows: I was in the "underwear," 25 degrees outside, and red bull all over me.

Congratulations. Grip strength is fun. The most impressive thing I can do right now is tear a Kingston phonebook down the middle, and it takes me a few tries to get the rip.
 
Sweetness. As "someone who knows", I can't wait to see it! I also like that you referred to our moderator as "that one guy".

lol...I keep everything anonymous...Some people don't know our cult. There are a few on here lurking waiting for the "Why biceps curls are so bad?" thread. I followed "our mod's" steps. I just dug my thumbs in and pulled/twisted/bent till it started to make noise. I also proved like 10 ppl wrong b/c they said, "I was too small..." :rolleyes:
 
Not too shabby, good job.

What's with all the quotation marks and innuendo?

Im thinking about trying a small one when I get home. I don't know the exact page length off top of my head but its smaller than the thick ones. Either way, camera will always be on.

Worry about it's thickness, not page count. The one's in Saskatoon are generally 2 inches even.

Don't waste the beer. Didn't you learn from the 1st time? Drink the beer then crush a coke can or something else.
 
Beer can's are OK as long as it's shitty beer. Miller High Life was brewed and canned for the sole purpose of crushing. It was never really meant to be consumed by humans, but a couple college kids from Missouri got ahold of it and...well, that's why we call it the Champagne of Beers, it taste like shit, but it's great for celebratory spraying and or crushing.


Nice job Freestyler. Kudos for the lack of apron..

haha I couldnt agree more on High Life. One of my brothers friend got a 30 pack b/c a guy he lifts with said it was good. Long story short, he drank them with complete disgust. I like alot of beer, but nothing beats 10.65 for a case of the nasty nati.

Unfortunately, it was a limited edition run of two pairs. The second is floating around within the church, as well, and no, they don't belong to me.

Perhaps in the future, my son.
 
I recall hearing from some can crushers that beer cans are easier to crush, then diet sodas, and regular soda cans being the hardest.

Beer cans are a little easier, I don't know why diet would be easier than regular, would have thought they use the same cans. The problem with normal coke is that the sugar will stick to you and your clothes.
 
I'm officially putting in my request for St. Wilhelm's brand socks and condoms.
