I don't have access to a beastmaker, but is that hard? If you are allowed to drag?

As fb edges go it's pretty good, something like 22 or 23mm with a fairly small radius. Still, 44 seconds is a long time for a one arm hang, lots of shoulder stability required while (obviously) pulling pretty hard.

Just did the Japanese test on a 14 mm flat edge.
Quite doable but not a gimmie really.
BM edges are maybe 1 mm smaller with bigger radius, so even harder. Doing it with that level of body control means the edge feels like a bleedin' bivy ledge.

My GF sent me this, https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/bj2935/holy_mother_of_arm_strength_and_control/
not a climbing strength but I wonder how many times he ended up on his face to achieve this

I found this pretty legendary...
Breaking a baseball bat just by stopping the swing ranks quite high as a power display in my opinion.

I'm never going to complain about not being able to get my fingers into slots at The Tor again!

Seriously, there's a lot to think about there. People like Steve Mac have come back from pretty serious finger injuries. I get paranoid about problems with mine, maybe unnecessarily?

Thanks for posting Finbarrr  :icon_321:  ;D

Back around.
That could just be legendary feats of boredom and posterior pelvic tilt. What's next? Marathon?
To qualify here she'll have to condensate that total effort in 10" at most.
When I'll see her doing a plank with a truck on her back I'll be the first to bow down.

Having done a quick internet search pretty certain this hasn't been done before:

Thumb pull-ups

Even thumb foot on campussing is another level of desperate.

Love to see a video of someone beasting one rep...

Wow  :o
Are you allowed to stop and adjust your hand then carry on? (Genuine question).

Well he doesn't put his feet on the ground at all, so fair play I reckon :lol:

He’ll be off to do Action Direct, the Eiger speed record and run a 4 minute mile before we know it!

There's a vid on Max's Instagram stories of him doing 1-6-10. Pretty outrageous if it's on a board with proper spacing!

Linky? If it's the one at the local wall I'm pretty sure it is.

It's the local wall, but bizarrely the video is mirrored, so he's doing it with the opposite hands to what it looks like. Not sure why he's done that...
