So, I tried the Koyamada test today, despite not feeling 100%, but the desire was too strong.
I did it on the smaller three finger pocket, aka "right eye", aka hold number 5 in some internet pics, aka hold with no number in others.
I felt ok with 20 kg, and I failed miserably at 26, too big of an increase. Cut my losses at 22 which felt extreme and lasted for the shortest amount of time known to man.
I don't know how big is the Rock Ring slot, probably a bit bigger than the aforementioned BM hold, but blimey, 28 kg added is extremely extreme and 36 is intensely and outrageously extremely extreme.
Props to the small man, I have no doubt that's legendary.

Pretty impressive considering what Megos can do

Damn Megos, he's getting away from me...

Anyway the Koyamada test is three fingers open. The Megos test is four half crimp.
57 kilos, wtf.

Hi whats the Koyamada test? Had a quick look on the internet with no success.

[Nibile]

no wonder you didn't find it. It's the product of my tiny little sick mind.
Somebody posted here a pic of Dai one arming a Metolius Rock Ring with a ton of added weight in the form of kettlebells. And I immediately wanted to measure myself up against this feat. Hence the post above that's been quoted.
The Megos test is basically the same, with the main difference being that probably I was already one arming holds before Megos was born.

 hi thanks Nib's obvious really the only hits I got were your youtube posts!

He should buy more books though.

Back around. This is legendary feats, not impressive feats that anyway pale in comparison to any average gymnast's feats.

[Plattsy]

That's a live stream isn't it. He's been going a while now.

Eddie Hall has just deadlifted 500kg.

Jeez! Just trying to imagine the progressions to get to that is physically painful.

I can't clap in the middle and I don't have hair! In fact I can't even do a proper planche! 

[Nibile]

Brilliant feat.
I still prefer the half-ton deadlift though.

the 500 k deadlift is the greatest feat of strength ever undoubtedly
to put 40 kg on your old record in such a short amount of time is amazing

[mark s]

amazing transformation from savickas. was never the most muscled looking of strongmen but almost looks like a bodybuilder now.

[Nibile]

  jesusfuckingchrist, he barely looks like himself. How long did it take, do you know?

[mark s]

Don't think it's that long if you look at recent comp pics of him.
Not sure if he will have the same strength but it's sure going to be better for him and he looks much better . These strong men must be bulging with meat under the lard
