Hung for 1:58 at 270 lbs.  Details are just too gory to recount.  😂

Gonna try deadlifting 270 and seeing how long I can hold it. You should try holding my bodyweight too, but you may need a calendar instead of a stopwatch

Was at our state fair earlier today(MN, second busiest in the country behind TX) and did the Marine pull up test and Army fitness test. 

They were strict with the pull up test, especially when they saw I was going to for sure get a backpack lmao. Full dead hang to chin well over the bar. I got 16. 15-22 gets you a backpack and 23 for a tshirt. I just did back yesterday at the gym or I would have had 19-20. 

 

Army test was exceptionally easy. Carry or roll a large tire, do 20 pushups with feet on said tire, run tire back again and do 20 jumps on and off tire, run tire again, do 20 air squats, run tire again, do 20 sit ups. He said anything under 2min was great and I did 1:46 although I didn't know it was timed I was probably only going 90%. Very easy and got a shirt lol

I just remembered I did a dead hang challenge a few years ago for a Reddit competition. This was on a regular pull up bar (same diameter as a oly barbell). About 20lbs heavier than I am right now.

 

At 200ish pounds that's really impressive!
