We had a barbecue last Sunday and there was this tall and thin guy, 6'2" and some 165 pounds, plus a couple of friends and their g/f. The tall dude works in high-rise construction and practices climbing as a sport. Let us call him Joe.
One of my friends is seriously into weightlifting and got the looks, with huge biceps and bulging muscles everywhere, Arnie-style. Lets call him Arnie.
The talk turned to the merits of weightlifting to become strong and such. Joe ventured that a guy can be amazingly strong even having normal-looking arms. The girls giggled. Arnie looked him up and down and challenged him to a few pullups (We have equipment in the backyard). So Arnie goes first and does 10 pullups, the last 3 rather slowly and the final one with difficulty. Joe does 15 EASILY and with ONE FUCKING ARM!!!
Well that was impressive so the other weightlifting friend (call him Larry) challenges Joe to an arm wrestling bout. Larry's arm is smacked on the table in two seconds. Then they go at it again and Larry holds hiw hand with the other hand - again Joe wins, although with some trouble.
We were all amazed, I mean Joe was a THIN-looking guy. How could he be so strong?
Later he climbed the wall of my house like a monkey, in just a few seconds, to get a ball kids had kicked up on the roof. I mean, to get to the roof is a laborious thing, one has to drag out the ladder, fix it firmly then climb, and here this dude got up just like that without any apparent effort and without ripping his pants or whatever.
Jesus..... What's his secret?
