jvance Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 A guy at the gym said he knew someone who could do this. Of course I was skeptical and wanted to see a video - which was provided. As far as I could tell from watching it one time from a smartphone - it looked legitimate. The plate didn't break quite in the center - maybe about 2 or so inches offset. It looked like he attacked it the same way one would finish a tough horseshoe - between the legs. Has anyone else heard of or done such a feat??? Apparently this dude is a powerlifter- but I don't anything else about him. It was a freaky feat for sure though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Caveat : A ton of my small plates have hairline cracks in them, so even if this guy is starting with an uncracked one I don't know exactly what this feat signifies.)

Never got the link to the video. Sorry... I certainly didn't get a good look at the plate before it was snapped in half. Certainly could've been manipulated. But if it was legit, it's a very respectable feat. Edited September 11, 2013 by jvance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 If the cast iron was weak/brittle, it's certainly possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sharkey Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Lots of dudes who train Iron Fist, or Yong Qi Gong can do things like this. I think Mike Gillette has also learned how to explode bricks. People who are good at this can pick which brick in a stack of 10 will explode when they hit the top one.
