It's crazy that humans can actually do close to what Cap is doing there, at least for one rep.

Are you assuming 1100 is the weight of the whole thing? I assumed it was just one side, putting the whole weight at 2200 plus the weight of the bar, which I think might need to weigh more than 45 lbs.

 

So I don't think we've quite caught up to Cap yet.

No spotters. So they're both going easy.

I am assuming it is the total weight. If it's only one side, then yeah, we have a ways to go.

I didn't know that Matt Murdock's middle name is Dennis, and that he reverted to a version of his original costume for a while.

I like how that She's Josie #1 just casually slips in there....awesome silver age Archie key, and tough as nails....?

I guess the cover artist was not aware just how strong primates are IRL.

 

200 pounds would hardly give that chimp any trouble to lift.

 

But seeing the Hulk using those tiny weights is more amusing. Perhaps not as amusing as it appears to the crowd watching Bongo.

Wondering if anyone knows what comics are out there that would have our comic superheroes Weightlifting, dumbell barbell, weights ect. On the cover? Anyone?

Kind of in topic for this thread. Ever know comic book fans who just collected Hulk and Conan The Barbarian comic books?

I knew a few weightlifter buddies and the only comics they collected were Hulk and Conan comic books.

I don`t know I should of asked.The thing was both these comic book fans did not know each other,so I found it to be quite a coincidence.

It was during the time period when Lou Ferrigno played the Incredible Hulk and Arnold Schwarzenegger played Conan The Barbarian, so maybe that had something to do with it.

I love the Frank Miller Daredevil run but I feel like he knew nothing about weight lifting. Watching the Kingpin sit up on a flat bench designed for bench press and doing shoulder press with hundreds of pounds on an Olympic bar looked absurd to someone who actually works out with any type of significant weight.
