check out this guy. Amazing core and upper body strength. Then again, he's all arms :) it's almost like gravity doesn't apply to him. Now I need to go back and do more handstand push ups...

I used to watch that guy when I used to be into breakdancing... he's insane...

lol klotz stole my video!!!! I posted it in the forums first klotz!
 
Yeah, flashback.. I remember admiring these guys when I was a skinny high school kid. Thought to myself I want to be that strong someday. Well, years of weight training later and I still couldn't do any of the stuff they do. It's like that guy on one of ross's affiliate site wrote that years of weight lifting and he had trouble carrying his sick grandma up the stairs.
 
Man..I cracked up...now I feel bad.

That first guy is nuts, wish I could do pushups like that.

Yeah, it's from Matt Furey's site:

Matt Furey - Primate Power Gorilla Strength

A while back my grandmother was sick with emphysema. One afternoon my mom and I had taken her to the doctor. When we got back to her home she was too weak to walk up the stairs to her apartment. I told her I'd carry her up the stairs. After all, it was only five steps up and I was a big 220-lb weight trainer so I figured this would be a cake walk. Boy was I in for a surprise.

I bent over, grabbed her in my arms and picked her up. I was shocked at how heavy she was. What's going on here?! She weighs a ton! This cannot be! I thought "no problem, I can still handle it."

I stumbled a bit and walked toward the steps. The first step took a lot out of me as I was already huffing and puffing. But I still had four more to go. "Uh-oh, I think I'm in trouble," I thought. I forged on up the rest of the stairs using every ounce of energy and strength I could muster. I was getting more and more light-headed and dizzy with each passing step. As I finished the last step and got to the top, I felt myself on the verge of passing out. I placed my grandmother down on her feet as I grabbed onto the railing to catch myself. If there had been one more step I would have surely blacked out and fainted, bringing my grandma down with me in the fall.

I was completely fried. Every muscle ached like never before, I was gasping for breath and feeling sick to my stomach. After a while I regained my composure and wherewithal. I asked my mom how much granny weighed, expecting an answer like 200 lbs. I was stunned to hear her response - "about 140." I could curl much more than that with a barbell yet I couldn't carry that amount. Something is terribly wrong here.

That day forced me to reexamine my training methods, as it was becoming apparent that bodybuilding wasn't giving me the functional real-world strength that I craved.

yeah I agree, what? what pink dumbells was he lifting or was his grandma just really heavy and not helping him carry her up. It's like trying to pick someone up hu doesn't comply with you, that's were sand bag training comes in wooohooo.

What the hell is wrong with that guy? I carried two struggling and laughing girls for a distance while drunk not too long ago... Bet both of them were heavier (voluptuous girls :)) than his sick grandma... And I'm a weakling on this forum.

Either bodybuilding is more useless than I thought, or he should have his heart checked out.
 
I hate everything at the minute now matt furey is mentioned and that tit can't even carry his granny 2 steps.



MAN UP AND GROW A SET, DO SOME SQUATS AND DEADLIFTS. ***

Lol, settle down, kid :icon_chee That link was provided to answer a poster's question on a glancing reference I made reminiscing about ... break dancing. So if you must judge, read the rest of the guy's story. I'm sure he's done his share of squat and DL :)
 
make sure you have you sound on for this one. lmfao
