I just think at some point in my life, there is going to be a wonderful comedic opportunity to crush an apple and I should learn how or train now. e: Anybody else have any ridiculous goals right now?

You could move to Mexico and become a guac god.

But I also feel like there need to be a few fruits between the two. Avocados are pretty soft, their skin easily tears. Apples are crispy, the pressure needed to crush an apple in one hand is at least 10x greater than to crush an avocado.

I’m on a similar journey. I want to crush walnuts. I’m a desk worker, so I got a set of grip strength trainers and just use them when I’m in Zoom meetings. I can almost close a 200lb gripper after about 8 months of sustained effort. I’ve started using a light gripper to increase my thumb and pointer finger pinching strength now too. I’m going to have to see if I can squash an apple now.

Trip report: Not strong enough to crush a Royal Gala, but I can feel it flexing a little!

A most laudable goal indeed friend!

I would like to suggest you incorporate the silicone grip rings.

I want to fold a frying pan. The idea came to mind when I got cocky when switching from curling 25 lbs to 45 lbs

Pretty much. The local dollar store would definitely know something is up when I’m buying packs of them.

You like literally have to buy 10 of them Just so you can roll one up after cooking for a friend and when they say what the fuck are you doing you say deadpan “what aren’t these disposable?” as you open the oven drawer to reveal 10 new pans with labels.

Husband and I have a standing bet to be the first person to do 10 handstand pushups on a stage. Not sure why the stage is involved, and I can’t remember what the prize is. Also it’s been over 5 years since we made it, and neither of us can do a single one yet. But I think of it often.

You should start training in secret immediately! Stages are easy enough to come by once you’re ready.

I was thinking training montage, with Eye of the Tiger and everything.

In all seriousness, picture your dude’s face! He will have forgotten all about that bet (he might have even now) and one regular sunny day you CASUALLY walk on over to that conveniently located stage; “hold that drink for me for a second, honey”, and BAM. He won’t know what’s even happening, crying into both of your milk shakes in joy and confusion.

Plus, you’ll be super buff. There’s no downside, really.
