    Have anyone tried something silly like lifting a car?

    Have you ever thought you were really strong enough to lift a car only to find out you couldn't?

    LOL I always wanted to forget the daily workout, and take some friends from the gym outside and try deadlifting some cars. Parking lot lungs sounded good for leg day too!! Hmm you could throw a car in neutral and see who can push it the farthest too... lots of fun powerlifting stuff you can do outside!

    Depends on the car and if it wasn't for the suspension you might be able to.The rear of some cars aren't that heavy. a 600 or 700 lb partial deadlift isn't that big of a deal and essentially lifting the rear of a car is just that a partial dead. Also what you may consider silly is what many strongmen and powerlifters consider daily training

    In high school, one of my friends and I picked up our science teacher's vw bug and moved it to another area of the parking lot just to freak him out. Does THAT count?

    One time I parked kinda crooked in from of a club and the bouncer told me to straighten out. So my friend and myself got out of the car and lifted the back end and moved it to "straigten it out." The bouncer just shook his head.

    Oh, by "lifting" I thought you meant stealing. Nope, I guess I have no response for this thread.

    I have seen some friends of mine lift a passport (honda that is) up by the back and shift it over a few feet cuz it was blocking a four wheeler trail... I also had a high school coach that caught and held a small car's back corner up by himself as a jackstand failed and the car almost fell and nearly killed a woman helping her husband change the tire.

    Maybe you just need the right motivation (and a really light car)

    I was at work not too long ago and my boss pulled his golf cart up and it was too far away from the plug to charge it. So I walked to the back of it lifted it up and set it closer to the wall. He just looked at me and said damn bodybuilders.

    SO WHAT, the other day, uhhhhhhhhhh, uhhhhhhhhhh, I threw my friend's Hummer (Humvee) through the front window of his house, just as a joke and all. We laughed, then I waited for him to leave and carried it in his bed room. Talk about funny, we laughed for hours when he got home. Then he called me a juice monkey so I ate him because I couldn't find any Myoplex and needed some protein. And you ya'll thought you were bad lifting golf carts huh

    I like shot putting girls into my pool .
    The other day my girlfreinds 4 door chevy broke down at a red light waiting to cross a busy intersection facing downhill . I had to push that sonbitch up hill so she could get it off the road without going into the intersection. That was the first time she seen me push myself she thought the veins busting out of my head were cute . I think next time ill steer and let her push hehehe.
