Stop using whatever drugs Tom gave you. 2. In most instances, 85lb is not 66kilos 3. 66kg is off the charts strong, according to your chart. For a long time, I occasionally tested my two-handed grip strength using a bathroom scale. I was able to squeeze the value of my weight. And one year, our university's exercise science faculty gave free physical fitness tests for faculty. Rather than take the time to have us lift weights, etc. they simply measured grip strength, which they said tends to closely correlate with overall strength. Mine was very good, they said. However, I was in the habit of carrying a heavy briefcase home to grade papers or prepare lectures, so I suspected I might have been an outlier. Many years after that, I decided to have fun in one of my classes; I gave them some bicycle related problems. One was to analyze the bending strength of a middle quality bike brake lever, and compare it to the average grip strength of the students in the class, which we measured using the exercise science department's meter. The lever was surprisingly weak, and we proved it by letting the football player in the class squeeze it and bend it. I was pointing out that it didn't need to withstand maximum grip strength, because the bike would skid the rear wheel or topple over the front wheel long before that point. But I confess, by that time my elderly grip strength measured below any male in the class. Frank - did you WORK as a mechanical engineer or teach it? This isn't meant to be by any means insulting. But you make comments that I have never seen jibe with real world events and teachers often tend to be shielded from real problems in engineering. |

I'm sure you can read MRIs better than an orthopedic specialist. Hell, you've pointed out that you know more about economics than any economist, more about climate change than any climate scientist, more about crime than any criminal sociologist, more about history than any historian, more about astronomy than any astronomer, etc. -- - Frank Krygowski |
