i know some ironworkers. rebar guys. (aka rod-busters.) same things as milt.this guy could do chin-ups forever. they could climb anything. but this one guy was a foreman, late 50's. he was like a hunk of iron. he demonstrated how they used to climb steel buildings. he climbed the flange of a vertical steel beam with ease. (before cal osha days). he showed me a pic of himself riding that big steel ball at the end of a crane cable. one hand, waving.
he handed me a six foot long torque wrench with one hand...i almost buckled when i took it from him.
