Lift This Chair, WIN $100 (strength or scam?) 

It seems to be a technique rather than strength test

Lol!

That weight is easy but the balance is the hard part there it seems

You and the first dude lifted with grip strength but the other two used a technique

That’s it?! Haha, easy!

Yes! Completely agree. The thing is people were listening, it’s just incredibly hard to left the furthest leg first haha.

Yes totally agree.

It's because they're all desk junkies and not men working in real jobs so they have no forearm strength it's not that they don't know how to tilt the front towards them you can tell they're trying to they just have zero forearms they might as well just go be women with a bunch of fat cells you see back in the day men had real jobs like building things and fixing things and being firemen and all this takes an extraordinary amount of energy and muscle used on a daily basis which created this generation of real men and now everything's digital digital currency digital phones digital cars digital government digital corporations and people have just turned into a sack of waste and fat

Actually tried it at home as i watch the vid and it's totally valid

​@@BenEcho when you carry gugs of water everday in hilly regions No need for physics 😂

Yup you want to tip the center of gravity over your hand so there's no torque, and you're just lifting a chair then.

7:42 Yeah, make the line connecting the center of mass of the chair with your hand parallel to gravity, this way you have 0 torque (r vector and F=mg vector parallel so rxF=0). So just tilt the chair a bit closer to your face and lift it up fast.

For this trick you need wristlock...i can lift 2 chair in the same time like this.....

Yep. Spot on was doing this trick 50 Years ago.

@@wesleyrm you would still fail

Haha yeah he crushed it!

It's all that baby holding...trust me your grip and core become that of a BJJ blackbelt lol

Tried it with a 4,6kg chair, made it not sure if anything much heavier would happen for me xD do have grip strength but no body xD

Dad bod, but there was muscle underneath. Ripped or lean, has no correlation with strength.

Wonder why 😏

Yeah they were frothing it! That guys defs outsmarted me

Oh yes now I see it ! Nice move :)

yeah it shifts the center of mass closer to the hand.

yep, tilt it a tiny bit so the center of mass is more centered over your wrist and it becomes easier

@@BenEcho Shouldn't that have been a loss since the front legs came off first?

Thanks Holly!

Isnt that also from a view from the bridge?

Yes! That is the right technique however the amount of force and strain on your wrist to get the opposite leg up first is much harder than you think.

@@BenEcho of course, I’m not saying it’s not a challenge, just that it becomes easier once a technique is applied. Most people lifted the back leg first, I would bet 1/2 of them could do it with the right technique.

@@BenEcho I can lift the chair with my weiner

I was looking for this comment! 💙

Hahah yeah don’t feel bad

It is simpler, bend your wrist towards you and the weight goes towards you and if is easy go balance

You have heard of earth magnets? He has a globe hidden under the blanket and he can turn off gravity by not believing in it.

Thanks brother!!

Thank you!!

love you mikey

Do reps with a folding chair. You'll be up to a dining room chair in no time.

yes

No. Its a good idea. I thought of punching below the centre of gravity and lifting immediately after.

At that point it becomes less about strength more about stability
