Legendary feats of strength

There was a guy called Dave Barrell in Sheff in the 80's, he had been fasting for a week, rolled up at the Broomgrove gym after a day ice climbing on Kinder and cranked off 3 or 4 consecutive one finger one armers pretty much without a warm up. He was a beast.

Forgot about Dave (Burrell). I lived with him for a time. His training partner was Mike Meysner - also capable of similar beastly feats
 
I remember Dave but pretty certain it was Barrell (not Burrell) but not pronounced like 'barrel' as in beer. Bit of Hyacinth Bucket thing. All completely irrelevant. He was certainly strong though.
 
the guy campussing in that vid isnt even that good, hes on fairly big rungs and not even doing big gaps. thought it was meant to legendary feats
 
that's right. i once saw a video of vandeputte one arm campusing... that was something more like flying between rungs. not only the power was clearly there but also a whole lot of body coordination. can't find it anymore.

slack---line, that gif is played in reverse. Still good when played forwards though.

:oops: Hadn't realised.

There's a video of a 90 year old monk doing a 1 finger handstand on youtube but I think his feet must be tied to something.

This one? Theres a fraction of a second where you can see the end of his feet.
