40kg Chinup for 2 reps or 1-armed chinup0

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.5

Did you take the weights off the rack first?!0 -

Damn.1 arm chin up is impressive0 -
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!
sorry, I amuse myself
as you were.....

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.0

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.

Haha. I actually thought of that when I made this thread.1 -

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. )2 -

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.3

Not sure if it's a feat of strength but I did 210 burpees in 40 minutes. Failed the gym's burpee test though.0

My riding lawn mower got stuck on a root. My neighbor wasn't home, my BIL and my nephew were at work, and my oldest son is 12 and only weighs 100 pounds. I lifted it off the root. It wasn't pretty and there was a lot of cussing, but I did it. Those deadlifts are paying off!4
