    Moving a squat rack after it became wedged against the wall. This happens quite a bit when guys "drop" heavily weighted bars back on to the catches. It took 5 or 6 repetitions to move it 5" away, but for an old guy with a herniated disk who hasn't seriously lifted in 5 years and a 1,000lb rack, I was pretty impressed with myself.

    Did you take the weights off the rack first?!

    Mine was in March when I deadlifted 60kg (or 132lb). However, I stopped the weight training and am now getting back into it. Did my workout on Tuesday but kept it low with 40kg and 50kg.

    nothing relevant, but whenever I read the title of this, I hear the line from Men in Tights,

    Robin: It won't be easy getting out of here.
    What we need is a great feat of strength.

    Asneeze: Feat of strength?
    Au contraire!
    Now that you're here with me, what we have is great strength of feet!

    :D
    sorry, I amuse myself

    So far, pulling a beltless 430 for a double, at a bodyweight of 170. Shooting for 495 at 165 at my first meet in December. A bit under a year of training so far, so I am a bit ahead of my programmed projection to hit it.

    For the lifters out there, what is the feat of strength that you are most proud of?

    lame, but.... the L Hold on two plates. As a former gymnast and weight lifter, i want to be able to do more and more bodyweight holds which are considered "advanced". For example, i would love to be able to do an iron cross, but i've been told this takes in the 3-4 year range to accomplish. :)


    I'm about to start working back to L hold and planche. It's been an off and on goal for a few years... and I'm starting to feel like I may be running low on time.

    At Festivus dinner last year, I pinned my dad on the first try.

    (Sorry, that's what always pops into my head whenever I see this thread. :smiley: )

    Obviously not the heaviest thing I've ever lifted but I have a landscape trailer I don't use much anymore. It's about a foot high inside and there was a 30 kg/66lb bag of dry cement on the garage floor that I wanted to put into the trailer. Instead of getting out and scooping it up with two hands like I normally would, bending at the knees, keeping my back straight etc., I reached down from inside the trailer and lifted it up with one hand and into the trailer. That was like an aha! moment when I knew all that hard work at the gym was paying off in real life.

    Not sure if it's a feat of strength but I did 210 burpees in 40 minutes. Failed the gym's burpee test though.
