    Car Lifting

    I was watching this strongman competition on Fox Sports and they were lifting up the back end of a new Ford Taurus. My question is, how lbs is the back end of a Taurus?? They were doing deadlifts with it...a bar was hooked up to the car and they would use that to lift. Mark Phillippi or however you spell is name did it 9 times!!! Any input?

    Probally upwards of 800lbs, maybe more with a full tank of gas, don't they use wraps, I can't see anyone deadlifting more then 800-900lbs for reps... ya know

    Didn't he blow his knee out with that lift, poor guy i watched him doing that event once and he just collapsed, his knee buckled pretty bad.

    The one I just saw he didnt get hurt on. I know he won that contest with either 8 or 9 reps. It was amazing.

    WTF?? Was it a ford fesitva?? I'm just trying to imagine how only two guys could pick up a car and literally move it. Maybe sorta "shuffle" it by picking up the corner and rocking it a bit...but anything more than that (and even that's a stretch for me to imagine)!!! I have to know...details, m'am, details!

    no doubt, when I was in high school me and 3 buddies picked up a teachers MG and turned it sideways in a parking spot as a gag,, and that almost broke my back! cars are friggin heavy!

    ha...i was thinking the same thing...back in HS, our varsity basketball coach had like 8 of us go and pick up the JV coaches car, turn it around and move it...and it was a geo metro...unimaginable to think that just 2 guys could do it... funny though...

    there's actually a pretty easy way to do it, i know it works with older cars but i havent done it for awhile, so the newer ones might not work but you basically get like 4 guys or so and push down on the car over and over again to get it bouncing (yes the car will bounce in the air) once its in the air, all you gotta do is push from one side to move. we used to ****k with people all the time. it seriously works and you can move cars pretty far that way

    I think shes just trying to hype her boyfriend, you know the girl type thing where they say his scholong is so freaking BIG. When I was in college these guys found out their roomate stole some crap out their room so they went to his car and rocked it over and over until it flipped over on its roof. It was one of those small festiva type vehicles.
