Feats of Strength

[Kanlic]

What is your most impressive physical challenge in recent memory?

I just completed the milk challenge, and subsequently threw up as soon as the hour was up. Covered in creamy white vomit and the similarly covered snot, I wonder what retarded challenges the Escapist community has done. Share your stories

I havent gone to sleep in about 72 hours. Does that count?

Hate to break it to you, but you didn't complete the challenge if you threw it up, you gotta keep it down

Me personally, in recent memory? Nothing much. I rode up a 10% grade hill that was about a mile long (bicycle) this morning...

Spoiler: Now watch this and feel like a little girly man

I know I do.

No way, it's drink a gallon of milk in an hour without throwing up. Anything after doesn't count does it?

Last month, I walked 10 miles through pouring rain just to prove a point to my friend that your shoes don't decompose in rain.

Similar to Omari. me and three friends went into a Japanese sushi all you can eat buffet for the lunch special, stayed through the day, hit their dinner special and left when they locked up. The manager was kinda pissed and impressed at the same time and charged us the dinner rate. We didn't argue it. not like we gorged, we just were talking and would slowly eat an order, but just got it timed so that it lasted the whole day.

On a similar note, I went to a local Sri Lankan dosa restaurant and ordered their spiciest dosa. It didn't even register, (I have a stupidly high threshold for spicy foods) so I ordered another and told them to stop serving me white guy food and kick it up a notch. The waiter laughed and brought another dosa, on the house cause I wasn't satisfied. A bit spicier but still meh. He asked how spicy I wanted it and I said "hot enough to make a Sikh cry" that got 1) a damn spicy dosa, 2) the cook watching me with a weird look from the kitchen and 3) and handshake from the manager and the cook after i ate it.

You throw up the milk it doesn't count

In recent memory? A few friends and I went to an all you can eat buffet and managed to make them take down the 'all you can eat' sign.
Most impressive?
I have been hit by three cars (twice the same old lady with a vendetta against me), have had a flathead bolt go through my heel when I was six, have had my wrist cut up by large shards of glass and not bled to death, have had a bike gouge out my knee, have been stabbed by a knife (bad neighborhood), had my eye slashed by a flying stick (bad luck),have fallen off the roof of my house uninjured, have survived multiple fights, have been impaled by a heavy tree branch in a heavy storm where I had to lie there for a looooonnnngggg time before help came, or even knew I was injured, and have been hit by a bolt of lightning. I am so durable because I am so damn accident-prone. God help me if I ever decide to climb Mt. Whereat or build a house.

And yes, before you ask, I had a strange vision of a plane I was on exploding mere minutes before it actually happened. It was rather lucky, in my opinion!

You have an hour to drink the milk, then a time is supposed to be set for vomiting. I'd say at least an hour after the completion, if not longer.

I got my heart rate up to 93% of its theoretical maximum during a stress test. That's 191 beats per minutes.

I picked up a 352 cubic inch engine block the other day, it was somewhere near 400 pounds. It's amazing what you can do when pissed off. That was probably my biggest feat of pure strength, however I have done some stuff that is pretty though and required endurance more so than pure strength.

umm...These don't seem like "Feats of Strength". Could you clarify it more for me?

Actually you have a point, I'm using my endurance stat not my stregth. Guess its not.

Vomiting milk and covering your face in snot isn't a feat of strength.

Babies do that and we don't consider them to be strong... quite the opposite in fact, hence the term "As weak as a baby".

A college roommate and I went to our local pizza place the day they premiered the Colossus: a pizza the size of three and a half jumbo pizzas. We ordered one and proceeded to eat it ourselves in one sitting. Some of our other friends stopped by to give us the drill sergeant treatment. We managed to eat the entire thing save for one slice. A guy in our D&D group was the cashier and wrote our epic tale on the box to hang on the wall. The receipt listed the customer name as "Fools" and included the phrase "God help us all." Despite "tripping up at the finish line", so to speak, we felt pretty epic.

You throw up the milk it doesn't count

I just looked it up on various sources, the rules are drink a gallon of milk in under a hour without throwing up. It wouldn't make sense to say never throw up because that doesn't even fit the parameters of the generally accepted challenge. You're making it harder than it already is.

umm...These don't seem like "Feats of Strength". Could you clarify it more for me?

Trust me, it's a feat of strength. I am on my university's crew team, and I'd rather take a 6k any day than do the milk challenge again. It is one of the most difficult things I have ever done.

That's in many ways awesome as it is crazy. I like you.

You're a man among men. You should hit the southern border of the united states and look around. I know from living there my entire life that they have hot sauce that in all rights is illegal.

Good lord, your morev durable than that prick Dante. Hats off to you

But to not throw up compared to Lifting a car or running 100 miles in 10 hours isn't even comparable. Also that's 7.2k...Everyday for 2 years straight lol.

Ah shit you're right. Oh well, next up is the saltine challenge (I need my victories too.)

I love stories like that. I think that's what makes shows like man vs food so compelling
