Strong hands are always good. How can they help in everyday life? ()
One day I was standing in the kitchen and cutting meat. And then suddenly I realized that I could do it without a knife. So, I was wondering how do armwrestlers use their uncommon powers in everyday life?
There were different variants. Outdoor and home versions:
Isaac Luna, USA: «I can carry heavy furniture, open various foods in jars, tighten those foods so tight that only I can open them, so that all is mine. Plumbing in a house, various yard work, picking up heavy sheets of drywall, motorcycles; cracking nuts, climbing poles, ladders, ropes».
John Parton, USA: «Pull fishing nets and pick fish from them; split and carry wood and heavy propane cylinders. Process the fish and wild game I hunt. Working nets is probably the hardest as it might go on for a couple of days with very few breaks, day and night».
Jason Alexander Peacock, USA: «Carry all my groceries a mile to my home like a BOSS!!!»
Taras Ivakin, Ukraine: «I don’t know if it’s thanks to armwrestling, but I can do a lot – from modeling to products made of galvanized metal (roofing blanks)».
Mger Musayelyan, Ukraine: «I can lift my girlfriend with my hands! It’s very easy but not for a long time. We have problems with endurance».
Not very standard ones:
Zarina Nuridinova, Russia: «Armwrestling really helps me develop arm strength.
And this power immensely helps me in judo. In everyday life it is a big plus too. Mom likes to send me for water, says it is a warm up for me. Also very often my group-mates ask me to open covers of various containers. The most unusual for me was when my teacher constantly asked to open the door for him. Recently he decided to open the door for himself but... In the end, he asked me again. The fact is that I had to pull on the door just a little, and not with full force (as the teacher pulled). So, everyone thinks that I am very strong!»
Chrille Timtoth, Sweden: «I always need to wake my father when we work at the same place so every morning I lift his bed, so that he falls to the floor and wakes up».
Unusual and funny:
Hashim Ali, India: «I can pick my nose easily».
Jonna Blind, Sweden: «Fight with a reindeer».
Sergey Tokarev, Ukraine: «Once I broke all handles in a taxi when I tried to get out. Central lock was engaged. Now, the taxi driver opens the door by himself to people. I screwed a top on a plastic bottle so hard, the guys had to cut it to get to the content... Pulled nails with a screwdriver. Gripped with thumbs and oppa! But only small ones. Tighten gadgets without a spanner. Also strong fingers can treat obesity. Take a fatty by his fat and he squeals. When the procedure becomes annoying to him, he’ll start to make his presses :)».
And what unusual things can you do?
