Just tried and the barbell didn’t budge.

To be fair it did piss my wrist off a little lol

Also... we should see what kinda weight we can add

Yeah. Maybe I just am way out of shape. That’s likely true.

Oh man, comin' off nightshift and spent the last ten day's in a 1800kcal deficit...

2,5kg was hard, 5kg stopped at shoulder height and laughed at me on it's way down.

Too weak.

Nah that looks about right from what I've seen...

There's no standard chair weight, but the chair lift challenge is very difficult. I'm starting an LP. I have two chairs in the garage. . .

Lift a chair without it tipping by gripping just one leg. Right hand on left rear leg. Then left hand on right rear leg. (or I may have that backwards)

Tried the Hammer Challenge yesterday. Pretty easy, left and right handed... I may be doing it wrong?

I've done a lot of "levering" in that fashion at various jobs, though. Piling lumber and such.

Nah, I'm thinking it's just pretty easy for anyone with a decent strength base lol

I tired this the other day at the gym and it was surprisingly hard. I thought it was gonna be easy.

[fibula]

It was surprisingly difficult to do in a slow controlled way. Tough on my wrists too, in a way that I didn't like the feel of.

Tried it and.. couldn't get the bar even a millimeter off the ground, lol.

I thought you had to do a deadlift holding the sleeve; picking one end up first gives you leverage
