king crusher Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Hi everyone! i was reading about holding sledghammers out by the handle, so i tried my diningroom chair by just the end of one leg, and i was able to hold it about 1 sec before my wrist was going to give out and bend.....then i took just the back of the chair,the seat and 2 front legs broke off from me leaning on it...anyway i held that for 7 seconds straight out to my side and did it to the front......the whole unbroken chair is 14.5 pounds, and the chair back is 8.4 pounds.....i have nothing to compare this to is it good? i belive my wrists are above avg?

king crusher Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 and i just thought id say these are two different chairs...whole chair and a chair back with the 2 back legs only....and i held these from the ends, like 1 inch in from the bottom or so.

Matt76 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 That is prolly above average wrist strength. One of the people that I roof with did it and he is a little guy. Then he was like let me see you do that well I picked it up right off the ground and held it in the air for about 15secs and I said "What this" haha But my little brother who is a pretty strong kid can't do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocksurly Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I usually do this with a 200lb man sitting in the chair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I'm strong enough to actually sit in the chair while rocksurly lifts me. Impossible my foot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
