Kate Abernethy Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Ahem! At least it's a start (on the starting line )I now think not only Zach, Nigel and Leo are monsters but Joshua N is too. https://vimeo.com/67983834 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Proudman Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Ahem! At least it's a start (on the starting line )I now think not only Zach, Nigel and Leo are monsters but Joshua N is too.Good effort! I've got a 56lbs weight exactly like yours, found it on an abandoned farm about 10 years ago, i used to use it for dips and pull ups but you've found another use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Bodestyne Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Whelp, I decided to see how I went at this, so I tried recording myself this afternoon, one attempt on my left arm, and one on my right. I'm not sure whether these attempts will count, though, because unfortunately I didn't have anything to measure distance other than my open wallet / phone case. The first video doesn't bring the camera in close to show the case against the wall. The second video does at the end, but I only realised now that I chopped off my feet in the second video >_< Oh well, I thought it's better to submit and then resubmit, rather than sit here worrying about it and not submitting anything. Hope I have time for another attempt -- I'll be carrying that ruler with me now. (c: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Malin Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Excellent, Desi. Not too much longer before you'll be issuing challenges to the professional hand balancers. Updated the scoreboard with Desi's victory, I'll review and put in the other recent submissions soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 - Awesome. Desi you are my hero. "Ladies First" indeed! - I must admit to being disappointed that the video ended so quickly once you fell. - Gentlemen, you have not merely been defeated; but CRUSHED. What are you going to do about it? Yours in Fitness,Coach Sommer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Abernethy Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 @Desi, brilliant! Very inspirational, and with minimal lean wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell Sims Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I wanted to look as weak as comparatively possible to the last poster so I chose now to put up my video. Perfectly executed if you ask me. Anyways I think its like 38 seconds. Better watch out, some of you. Key words underlined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Leeming Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Well done Desi, a stupendous effort. I was relieved to hear the struggled breathing and see the eventual collapse, just like my own trial. I'll be giving it another go again soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Leeming Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 2 entries, one from me, and one from my youngest daughter who's 9. I don't know how she pulled this one off as she can't do a handstand yet. Samira - 5 seconds Me - 2 minutes 34 seconds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
