Too late. And he is staying around so far.don't worry, he'll likely disappear after the unplanned pregnancy.

At least he didn't need help getting that done.Too late. And he is staying around so far.
Rolling around on a mat is not going to make someone strong. That 18 year old probably played video games on his couch most of his life.My cousin has herself a boyfriend. The kid is as arrogant as they come as well as being a hot head.
He asked for my help with his brakes on his suburban. Since he is family now my wife talked me into helping the kid.
When we were done I had him hand torque the lug nuts to the 140 ft lb spec.
Got out my torque wrench,set it @ 140 and handed it to the dweeb. The dweeb is a wrestler in his school and is well known in our area as one of the top wrestlers.
He could not make the torque wrench click! No matter how hard he pushed or pulled on it! I was wondering if my tool had failed and was not clicking at the set torque.
So I grabbed it to check it. CLICK it went with little force from me. Handed it back to the guy and watched him flounder around with it some more.
140 ft lbs is not hard to achieve with a 2 ft long tool for leverage.
Got tired of watching that and did the torquing myself. Click,click,click a total of 12 lug nuts in just a few seconds.
I'm kinda shocked as to how a fat 53 yr old has more upper body strength that an 18 yr old wrestler?
Hopefully I scared him a little lol
Not true at all. Wrestling a resisting opponent to the ground who does not want to go there will make a person very strong. Its extremely hard and active resistance training. You have clearly never grappled another human. Go hit up an MMA and BJJ gym and get in a few rolls with a strong wrestler then get back to us on what a weakling they are.Rolling around on a mat is not going to make someone strong.

Yeah, I think it probably boiled down to technique. How was he doing it wrong? With a 2 foot bar, should have been able to do it no matter what his weight was. Maybe he wasn't fully perpendicular and was either too high or too low.I’m thinking the lad did not understand stiffing your arms and letting your body weight bear down on the torque wrench. He was probably just kneeling in front of the wheel and trying the apply force with his arms, like doing pull-down reps.
I take it you were never a wrestler.…Rolling around on a mat is not going to make someone strong. That 18 year old probably played video games on his couch most of his life.
Come on man. Nobody’s that stupid.I’m thinking the lad did not understand stiffing your arms and letting your body weight bear down on the torque wrench. He was probably just kneeling in front of the wheel and trying the apply force with his arms, like doing pull-down reps.
Haha, take it up with @Chris142.Come on man. Nobody’s that stupid.
You might be surprised. I help people with Phd's change spark plugs in lawn mowers. I turn around and request their help analyzing stats for a data set. In their eyes, yes, I am that stupid.Come on man. Nobody’s that stupid.
