Most impressive feats?

Aug 05, 2022 - permalink

As a massive fan of women performing ridiculous fitness feats I thought it might be fun to create a thread to share the craziest feats you've seen!

I remember in one of the Women's Strength Extravaganzas there was a girl called Mary Ryan-Jeffrey who did 36 perfect form pullups.

Alex Puccio doing a 10 second front-lever is also up there, or maybe Alex Puccio doing one arm pullups with 20lb.

And of course Gillian Ward has many mind-boggling feats such as these pushups with 176lb added weight.

These where the most impressive ones in my opinion.

I think Michaela Aycock certainly has a few.

She's like 5' flat and weighs usually between 135-145 or something like that.

This clip in particular, while now 5 years old, turned some heads as she did 111 reps of 135lb squat, at 137 bodyweight. I think a lot of pros commented on how they would not attempt that many reps with their bodyweight on the bar.

Here's she is pressing 100s for reps, somewhere in the 130lb range, though this is more recent:

In this clip she's doing RDLs with 315:

An older clip of her pressing 70s:

Really just nutty stuff

Yep, Michaela Aycock is another with ridiculous feats and I love that she always gives it 110%!

Some of those circus feats are absolutely nutty too. There was a girl in the early 1900s called Lillian Leitzel who is credited with having done 249 of those rotations consecutively and 27 consecutive one arm chinups on the rings. Although I'm somewhat sceptical about that claim...

This one of a girl scissor crushing a soccer ball and deflating it is pretty impressive:

A while back I was working in a chiropractic office in Florida. While there one day a girl came in complaining of neck pain. How she hurt her neck was a little unusual, to say the least. She had been doing handstand pushups against a wall and lost her balance, fell, thus injuring her neck. One might think that, so what, those doing Crossfit, including women, regularly do handstand pushups. What made this girl, who was 20 years old at the time, unusual was that she was doing handstand pushups with ONE ARM!! That's how she lost her balance. I asked her how she had usually kept her balance. She replied that she had used pillows. I also asked her how many ONE ARM handstand pushups she did in her workout before her accident. She told me she normally did between 5 and 10 with each arm. It's amazing how strong some women are!

By far my favourite video when it comes to feats of strength:

Here she's benching 120 dumbbells. Unbelievable. This makes me drool every time.

Exciting indeed. Do you know which movie it's from?

It's actually from the U.S. television program called "Glee"

Here is a much better quality link of the same scene I found. The actresses name is Heather Morris.

Gillian Mounsey (now Ward) did a set of 81 PULLUPS when she was in high school. At around that time she did a set of 600 PUSHUPS!! These were school records posted at her high school. Very impressive!

This one honestly seemed impressive to me. I don't know how much strength is needed to achieve it, but it is certain that Colette has that strength and much more.
