He injured one hand in some minor accident and when for physical therapy one it to get it back to normal. They start off with getting a base line for hand strength. With an injured hand he pegged the highest reading on the strength meter they ever had before. The all wanted to be sure he gave it a good squeeze when he was healed up to have a new benchmark. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

My mom used to knead bread when I was a kid, I bet she had better grip strength than I do now, and I work out. ![]() One of the regulars at the cigar lounge used to be an auto mechanic but for the last 20 years has been laying tile and building houses. He can terrorize the I.T. guys with his grip if he wants to. One loud mouth was on his knees after a friendly scuffle, laughing the whole time as he was taken away by the grip strength that took his +350 lbs to the floor like a leaf with an arm pull and twist. I told him beforehand this would happen, he just had to test my theory. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-24/spain-tops-italy-as-world-s-healthiest-nation-while-u-s-slips ![]() What happens to the Gold Fish cuts-outs? https://onsizzle.com/t/goldfish_tumblr?s=new ![]()

I saw a TV show once about the arm wrestling champ that loved to go to different bars all over the country and whip the local champ. Then he went to Oregon, and a logging town. A normal sized guy sat down at his table and put down the champ with ease. He said every guy in there was crazy strong from hard work. He quietly left town very humbled by men that perform hard work every day for a decades.

That's funny and believable, but from The Onion in 2017 I believe...

White and Nerdy

My grandma started jumping grades at age 14 to end up at a particular college before a particular young man graduated that college.
She won that game, got to college in time and got married to him. Had six kids. Went to college taking cooking classes. The Mustang wasn't out yet. Neither were the beetles. |

Hmmmm
After finally looking at the car in the Grandma poster, I doubt it's a Mustang. They had the gas cap in the rear back in that era...so, what kind of car is it?
