148lb woman crushing a unopened pepsi can single hand.

thoughts?

no its not my wife.

now i might be a brit and this might taint my analysis of this, but its hard to
beleve a woman or any person could do this.

I rember magnus samulson had to use 2 hands to do this.

in adition to this she clames to have closed a cock 3????

My bullshit-omiter has gone off the scale.

I'm inclined to believe her. I do not know her personally but I have actually helped her with her grip training online for over a year. She has had huge interest in it for a while. She is not closing the #3 but is pretty much dominating the #2. She has a vid on youtube of her closing the #2 without a set. This indicates her crushing grip is better than most of the strongmen i have trained with. Her 'sweep' (crushing the gripper to parallel) seems to be her strong point and this is the range of gripper crush that would help her blow a can. It is worth noting that blowing a can open with one hand is a feat of strength that i haven't heard about until she managed it but then again how many of the world's top grip athletes and strongmen are actually working on this???? This is more the point. I am sure that if i decided to train specifically for this feat i could do it. Last time i picked up my #4 i mashed it to about 6mm. Many have a better gripper ability than myself. Therefore i am saying that many could do this if they 1)cared (quote frankly i don't i'd rather train directly for the upcoming british grip champ and do well there) and/or 2)trained for it.

I have however asked for a video because it did seema a little far fetched and she is in the process of providing me with it. The same girl has manged 190lbs on a rolling thunder handle which is something that she is in touch with Randall Strossen about. Additionally, i want to see her compete in a grip contest and make all this official.

I think the one hand can crushing is a bullshit claim - Iv seen Magnus do it on dvd with 2 hands and its not easy also I have a vid of manfred hoerbal doing it and on the vid he says that he had it tested and it took 600lb of pressure to bust the can!

So a woman doing it with one hand I smell BS!


Im pretty sure theres some BS vids of her on youtube to bending crap(pretending its solid instead of hollow pipe)!

He was in a bad car crash just after wsm 1994. As a result lost loads of weight, 80 or 90 lbs while in the hospital.

I think i also recall him mentioning that his left foot was paralized in the crash.

During WSM 1995 they did a short clip about it, showed him on crutches and looking very thin, for him anyway.

I have crushed several pop cans two-handed. Not that hard, and it often breaks in the center. Infact, it usually pops at the center and both the bottom and the top stay completely in tact. I think last summer I did three in a row.

Ryan Rhodes posted some videos of him crushing a pop can with one hand on Marunde-Muscle.
