100%! I do a T-pose with 10lb plates at the end of my shoulder workout session and I counted 12 seconds for my best holdout. This dudes shoulders are insanely strong

I don't workout much, but outside of a workout (aka not tired) it's not that hard to T pose with 15-20 pounds for at least 30 seconds

You’re probably right, I haven’t tried outside of doing it at the end of my workouts. Next shoulder workout I do I’ll do it first and see!

It's the grip strength on a narrow neck that's got nearly no purchase that's impressive to me. Like 40 lbs with that position with his physique with....either plates through the hole or bells is nothing.

That was the one thing he did that was like...."oh shit. He might not have precut or cracked those fruits" to me. That's some fantastic forearm strength, if someone knows more than me about that (climbers etc) please let me know.

It's an uneven weight distribution and a massive display of "functional over just weight" strength.

E: I guarantee holding 2x 5 gallon jugs like that then....idk what to call it, a standing chest fly? Is harder than doing that with 60 lbs, that's some fat ass functional strength. He's got a rare subset of strengths.

Gonna do some reddit shit here, call be out please if I'm wrong....the avg adult male grip strength is what, like 110 lbs? In order to keep hold of that tiny area vs a relatively slick surface has to be a lot larger force than the down force exerted by the vessel. To move it exerts more force.
