Flexed arm hang contest, Part 1

[2hotdownunder]

my penis brought me here

[nasaguy]

82 seconds? I'd say that's pretty good. You beat about half of these ladies, and they're obviously in darned good shape. So, way to go.

[ptthebest25]

I did 82 seconds. 15 yrs old boy. Is that moderate or bad?

[trexbattle]

@ptthebest25 i think thats pretty good im 10 and can do it for 103 but me family owns a gym

[RaybornButtercups]

@trexbattle im 8 and can do it for 5 minutes and my family doesnt own a gym, im just strong

[trexbattle]

@RaybornButtercups post a video response

[RaybornButtercups]

@trexbattle I'm making fun of you, cock. You aren't 10 and you can't do it 103, dip shit. If you ARE 10, then gtfo the internet little one.

[trexbattle]

@RaybornButtercups how fast can you do 100 pushups i bet you will lie

[Luna398]

I got 52 seconds abd beat like every girl in my grade -.-"

[nasaguy]

@Luna398 Congratulations! 52 seconds, I think you actually beat of a couple of the girls in the vid! You should post a video response and try for 1 minute! :) Have a good one.

[TallyTot]

Ah, dang. One day I'm going to be able to do a flexed arm hang for as long as they did.

[mokapie360]

Today I made a new record at my school!!! I got 2:06!!! The record hasn't been beat in 12 years!!! :D I'm in 7th grade, and I work out a lot!!!

[mamba0rules]

@mokapie360 nice! my best this year in 8th was 2:00, but my friend got 2:53 last year in 7th grade

[1457Angel]

Anyone have any tips for holding it longer?

[personthewat]

WOOOO CANADA!!!!!

[johnshenton999]

This is a strange exercise as it would be far easier for a light person to do it than a strong person - due to the body weight difference.

I'm not sure if that technique is right either, as I've read that only the hands should touch the bar. It appears like their chest is touching the bar.

[personthewat]

@johnshenton999 i think its proper i looked at a couple marine core boot camp pictures and they look the same also its an official competition so i would think they would do it right

[dearmarissax]

i held myself up for 29 seconds this year. i got the most out of all the girls and beat most of the boys. & am i weeaaaaak xD

[kusanagi68]

Held for 1 min 46s, back in high school. Don't think I could do that anymore lol.

[TheCalebthebest]

I held on for 72 seconds when I was in 7th grade. I didnt work out, I didnt do sports, just played video games. My arms and chest, even my legs went numb because I wasnt able to take in as much oxygen, when I was expending it.

[omegafreak007]

we have to hold it eye length

[ironmonnkey15]

those girls are so hot. Not overly defined, just perfect.

[cheeriogirl234]

i have to do this tommorrow

[bbsinger100]

@cheeriogirl234 - Good luck on the arm hang Cheerio! Let us know how you did :)

[cheeriogirl234]

@bbsinger100 k so i held on for 39.56 seconds which is awesome cause i did much better than before but this girl in my class beat the school record she held on for 1 minute and 47 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nasaguy]

@cheeriogirl234 - Congrats, great job cheerio. Gotta try again sometime and break 40 seconds :P. Wow, that other girl did awesome, she beat nearly every girl in this video. She should post a vid!

[cheeriogirl234]

@nasaguy im definitely taking fitness next year and im going to do more weight room training my goal is to hold on for 1 minute

[KezosEvo]

5:36 overhand arm hand in fifth grade. Won first place at the multi-school field day.

[nasaguy]

@KezosEvo - wow congrats! I've never HEARD of anyone going that long. You should post a video response, and show up all these ladies :). People would be amazed. You a guy or a girl?

[dsmhhhx]

@nasaguy Is arm hanging the same if you do it with your fingers on the bar, facing away from you.?

[dsmhhhx]

@dsmhhhx i Mean towards you like, the bar is between ur chest and the fingers

[nefarioustoast]

@KezosEvo

ARE YOU A WIZARD AT FIFTH GRADE OMGWTFBBQ YYYWAAAAAAAWWMFUU

[KezosEvo]

@nefarioustoast I meant 2:36. I'm no wizard

[KezosEvo]

@KezosEvo oops I meant 2:36 not 5:36. just a typo

[KezosEvo]

5:36

[Phi16180]

i could do this for 5 mins..

[sosmexynails]

im a 5'10 16 year old girl and weight 110 and my record is 1:23 :)

[nasaguy]

@sosmexynails - Hey, that's good!  I think that's just over the average of the girls in this vid. You should do a video response! 5'10, 110 lbs ... I'm guessing you do volleyball, basketball, or track ... ?

[sosmexynails]

@sosmexynails thanks yeah i only tried hanging 5 times for school and all of my times are between 1:12 and 1:23.

[nasaguy]

@sosmexynails - hey not bad! 1:23 is about equal to the average girl here! You should post a video response of you doing it.

[WetWilly123123]

I got just under 2mins in high school at eye level...........but I was only like 125 pounds = P so it's a lot easier for us skinny guys heh.

[dadoX1000]

cock goes where !?

[popohohopo]

wtf.. i just did this today for my weightroom class and got 2 mins 11 seconds.. im 5 ft 4(no im not fat, height just doesnt runi n my family) and 140.3 lbs =S

[stevektm125]

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get started for a nine year old girl who needs to do this for a PFT exam. Right now she can't hold it at all although she is not much overweight. How to work up to it? TIA

[cukermit]

She lacks sufficient strength to hold herself up thus needs to do strength exercises. Pull-downs are the classic exercise, but if all you have is a chinup bar, assisted declines (slowly lower herself from top with assistance from you or chair) will do it. Start with 2 or 3 sets of four (wait a couple of minutes between sets), build up to 3x8 with no assist other than getting up, then she should be ready to hold herself hanging. -Coach

[stevektm125]

Thanks, Coach. Will give that a try.

Surprised myself how difficult it is to do this (55 yr old man). I can't hold it for more than a few seconds at this point until the pain becomes more than an annoyance!

[drugsizbad]

wow i can easily beat this, and i am 95 lbs. in the marines we have to get 70 seconds to get a 100 on that portion, so what these ladies are doing is nothing considering its a competition.

[darealistchickof2009]

@drugsizbad I am about to join the marines and I was wondering what all is involved with the stuff that we have to do the 1st week

[TekMoliGy]

well its easy when you are 95lbs i could hold myself up all day if i was that small. im 195

[TekMoliGy]

that was supposed to be a reply to drugiszbad. down below me, no disrespect to these ladies

[kap2z]

@TekMoliGy

Smallness doesn't make a difference. If you are 90lbs odds are you are super weak, which means you would still have to work out. If you are 195lbs you might weigh a lot but even then, if you work out you can hold yourself up. It all equals out.

[TheAnimefr3ak]

arn't you supposed to keep you're eye's level to the bar?

[nasaguy]

Yeah I've heard of that way of doing it. I think most folks do it this way because it's easier. But it's not easy no matter HOW you do it. :)

[TheAnimefr3ak]

k because im trying out for the B.E.A.P program (for those of you that don't know it it is the birchmount elite athletics program, to get in you must have a sport at provincal level. im going for soccer and 1500m.) my trainer makes me hold eye level :L ( i got 1:07 on my frist ttry :D

[cohen36]

dude this hot chick in my school can do this for over 2 mins its fucked up!

[nasaguy]

That's awesome! Do you know her? You should ask her if you can make a video of it. I bet if she saw this clip she'd want to beat them, LOL!

see ya

[batts1150]

wow

[OzVegan]

Wicked stuff. 2 mins 14 seconds by that black woman. Far out. I can just do 1 minute 10 seconds.

[nyc23bklyn]

u dont know what i can do ShervinGetOff Mee please stop dick rideing people u fag. I go to the gym 4 times a week and work out and im always trying new things i bet u stay home and never work out or do any thing

[nasaguy]

Well, while I won't be rude like Shervin, I WILL say that unless you back up a claim like that with a video, you can't blame people for being skeptical.

Good luck,

nasaguy

[nyc23bklyn]

Yeah u rite this week im a buy a new camera and make a video

[nasaguy]

Sweet, that would be AWESOME! Looking forward to it.

[nyc23bklyn]

i can hang on for 7 min with no glove with a glove i can do 12 min. Its feels like you did a million pull ups after

[ShervinGetOffMee]

yeah sure u can.. dumbass

[srkrn100]

SURE U CAN !!!

[tylermac64]

all i can say is wow! This is the one thing i cannot do

[TheMamkamu]

omg! Incredible! Wasn't the very first lady on the right getting just gettting more tired by this moving and kicking all the time?

[nasaguy]

I doubt it hurt her time much if any. It was probably unconscious on her part, maybe a way to channel nervous energy when it was getting hard ... ? Anyway, good job to all ladies.

[StygionIron]

I did this in school today except our hands were facing the other way. I got 1 minute, 46 seconds.

[squirebasshartkeamp]

I got 1 min 53 sec in school... new school record!

[Falsitive]

Also, I'm pretty sure the clock stops the second you tilt your head in order to continue clearing the bar.

[nasaguy]

True, I've heard of that being the standard. But actually I kind of like the way they do it, with time stopping when the eyes drop below the bar. Seems like it's easier to judge the exact second more precisely.

[buffaloblitz14]

i did this in gym, but we have to hold the bar with the backs of our hands facing us, and i only got 41 seconds lol, pretty good but nothing compared to this

[Falsitive]

The onne in the pink is one ugly troll.

[nasaguy]

There were two in pink, actually; you probably mean the first one. Actually I bet she looks ok in real life. But, the lighting isn't flattering and I think most of the other girls are fitness models. It's hard to look good against THAT!

[xoJenn1096]

funnyhow the girl n purple went up after the otherlady and she still lost

[nasaguy]

Purple? I don't remember anyone wearing purple. Which girl did you mean? Anyway, they weren't required to start at the same time; each girl was timed on her own. Although, that WOULD have been a cool idea - do it as a single elimination tournament or something.

[J0nathan12356]

like face to face would be sick. i'd be pumped to beat the other person

[nasaguy]

Yeah face-to-face would have been pretty cool! If it had been me, I would have put the two stations kinda partially facing each other, so each girl had the option to check out the other girl ,or not.

[mrijfi]

dont hold your breath!!

2:10

[rnizio1]

I did this this in my exercise science class but we had to have our eye at the level of the bar.

[kralctoor]

your supposed to hold at eyes

[nasaguy]

Really? I'd never heard that of before. Where did you hear it? Have you seen others do it that way?

[kralctoor]

thats how ive always done it and learned how cuz its much harder

[Arny0815]

Who is the nice lady in the black top? Some kind of host/moderator. She should also participate :-)

[nasaguy]

She's Kary Odiatu, a Canadian fitness competitor. I don't think she competes anymore but she still is involved in fitness. I think she organized the event. And yes, I was thinking the same thing. :-)

[jahdanza]

This exercise works your biceps, you're meant to try & keep your body absolute straight as possible without swinging & hold on as long as you can, without just letting go. Fight against gravity & don't just let go of the bar, let yourself lower to the ground as slowly as possible. If you get me?! This is a great exercise to do to finish up after a bicep workout, really makes your biceps grow. :)

[nasaguy]

Hey, I posted a couple more vids, you might like them :)

[cowface00000]

what muscle does that work?

[nasaguy]

I'd say biceps and back - maybe some shoulders. Very cool regardless :)

[SmileAlready]

I've always felt this the most in my biceps and forearms.
