I see. Thanks!

[–]feelinweird 1 point2 points ago

today on reddit you learned...

[–]SvenSvensen 3 points4 points ago

I assumed he meant that the man in the picture had named his weight bar "Natasha". The heavy in TF2 has a gun named the same. Men sometimes give feminine names to objects they are very fond of, and this man appears to be very fond of his weight bar.

[–]wpiman 0 points1 point ago

Thats over 300 pounds...

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

I can barely deadlift this.... fuck.

[–]Tehkaiser 13 points14 points ago

~310lbs by my visual estimate of the plates weights.

[–]IIdsandsII 22 points23 points ago

bar = 45 lbs, 4 x 45 for another 180 lbs, 2 x 35 for 70 lbs more, then we have 4 x 10 and 4 x 5 for another 60 lbs, or a grand total of 355 lbs.

so you were correct, but you didn't factor in the bar.

[–]cachinnate 17 points18 points ago

That's all very impressive, but how much does he squat?

[–]IIdsandsII -2 points-1 points ago

me personally?

[–]cachinnate 8 points9 points ago

Are you the guy in the picture? If so, color me impressed.

[–]IIdsandsII 6 points7 points ago

Wasn't sure if you were referring to me indirectly by calling my calculation impressive. I'll bet it's safe to assume the dude in the pic squats at least 355.

[–]cachinnate 1 point2 points ago

Ha! Sorry to be confusing. I was making a joke.

[–]IIdsandsII 0 points1 point ago

ahhhhh, i gotcha

[–]SuicideKing 4 points5 points ago

I thought they use metrics over there, unless weights are standardized with proper conversions over the world?

[–]IIdsandsII 1 point2 points ago

They are, in pounds. Metric is converted on the weight, and they get left with decimals.

[–]giantasparagus 1 point2 points ago

They also make standardized metric plates like in the olympics which are 10, 15, 20kg etc.

[–]PigDog4 0 points1 point ago

Which is really annoying when your gym has 45lb, 35lb, 25lb, and 10kilo plates randomly thrown in.

[–]StackShitThatHigh 0 points1 point ago

The plates are also labeled in metrics.

[–]Tehkaiser 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, crap. Completely forgot. :P

[–]easily 1 point2 points ago

In America you'd be right. I can't be sure since I'm not familiar with metric weights but I know the blue plate is 20 kilos which is about 45 pounds. I don't know how that rest of them go.

[–]Real_MikeCleary 66 points67 points ago

Could very well be fake weights. Very comon on film sets, and everyone will take fun pictures with them...

Edit : more impressive I could go on and on, just google search...

[–]3dom 34 points35 points ago

Being Russian in Russia I know it's tenfold easier to meet crazy people than to photoshop a photo.

[–]Kevin_Wolf 1 point2 points ago

Russians are fucking nuts. We used to jump out of 3rd or 4th story windows into the snow. I loved it. It was so fun until I landed on an ice sheet and bruised my tailbone.

Why did we ever go to war with these people?

[–]logicalnoise 14 points15 points ago

If you're an American like I am then we never did. It was just a Cold war with no outright violence. Guy like this could be a strong soldier but probably a shit spy.

[–]eskachig 9 points10 points ago

During the Soviet and post-Soviet periods Russians have been very good at espionage. Better than soldiering, I'd say.

[–]logicalnoise 0 points1 point ago

I agree, I just wouldn't say this guy would be soviet spy #1.

[–]ImAJerk 1 point2 points ago

Well, that would be Putin.

[–]RaptorJesusDesu 3 points4 points ago

Russian and American pilots at least have engaged during various times in history, often disguised as the proxy powers they are backing.

awww I feel so sorry for the old man... he didn't even do anything. It´s the fault of his scumbag students who make him think he's an air-bender or something. And they don´t even stop the charade when the shit gets real. He´s probably a little cuckoo too but they should've stopped him. Those assholes should get beaten up!!!

[–]JustScottie 0 points1 point ago*

Isn't the jaw muscle the strongest muscle in the human body? Not that I personally could or would ever do this, but it probably explains why his lower jaw hasn't been ripped from his hinges.

[–]filenotfounderror 3 points4 points ago

"There is no one answer for this question since there are different ways to measure strength. There is absolute strength (maximum force), dynamic strength (repeated motions), elastic strength (exert force quickly), and strength endurance (withstand fatigue) - There are also three types of muscles in the human body: cardiac, smooth and skeletal."

The strongest muscle based on its weight is the masseter. With all muscles of the jaw working together it can close the teeth with a force as great as 55 pounds (25 kilograms) on the incisors or 200 pounds (90.7 kilograms) on the molars.

Still seems to me like it would take his jaw off pretty quick like.

[–]acemnorsuvwxz 0 points1 point ago

They are also composed of multiple types of muscle fibers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_muscle

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago*

Nope. The fact that half the pictures on r/funny are fake explains why this hasn't ripped his lower jaw off. If you really pressed down on your lower jaw with over 400 pounds you're not going to have a good time. Look at the shadow of his left elbow. He's wearing a soft puffy coat but the shadow elbow is sharp as a knife.

[–]hetzle 0 points1 point ago

Why does everyone assume that this fellow is showing off? Maybe there's a guy pointing a gun at him. I mean...what would you do?

[–]uepvup 0 points1 point ago

I just imagined it as he was trying to press it and he dropped it on his chin...

[–]HoradricNoob 0 points1 point ago

I wonder how they made the bar just float in the air like that. Bizzare!

[–]V3nom 0 points1 point ago

You should have seen the guy that threw it at him!

[–]cboogie 0 points1 point ago

horrible photoshop. besides that the angle of the bar is incorrect to the angle of the body the most glaring part is the shadow of the left elbow.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Ehm this is from the spetsnaz episode of Deadliest warrior. You haven't seen a lot of photoshops in your day it seems.

[–]rocket_propelled_emu 0 points1 point ago

Why is he wearing American BDU pants and coat?

[–]Kevin_Wolf 1 point2 points ago*

Spetsnaz by and large buy their own uniforms. I don't know if you know this, but Russia spends something like $5 a year on their military.

[–]rocket_propelled_emu 0 points1 point ago

Seems legit to me, carry on.

[–]Kevin_Wolf 2 points3 points ago

I'm serious. Most Russian soldiers resort to selling off pieces of their uniforms to tourists to make up for the shit pay, if they even got paid this month.

[–]rocket_propelled_emu 1 point2 points ago

I wasn't being sarcastic

[–]Kevin_Wolf 0 points1 point ago

I got that. I just wanted to clarify further. I have a Russian MVD badge and cap from when I lived over there, all for only $10.

I don't know why Russians have a thing about their teeth. My grandfather was a trapeze artist for the Russian circus when he was only 17. His whole act was swinging on the trapeze with just his teeth. He had dentures the whole time I knew him.
