As kids, you (or female classmates) probably did the hanging arm flex test. When on Fremont Street, one of the booths had a $200 challenge. If a guy could hang (not flexed, simply hang) from a bar for two minutes, he would win $200. If a woman could do it for 1:40, she'd win $200.
Entry was $20 each.
I sat there and watched about a dozen people try it, and the maximum time I saw was 1:08. I had no idea how long I'd be able to do it, so I tried it after my arm workout yesterday. I made the GF try it, too. The thicker and slicker the bar, the harder it likely is.
How long do you think you could hang from a bar with both hands? The hands can face either way, but they both have to be facing the same way. The guy in the video did it for 1:04:
