Big Burger Challenge

You’re right, my view was scooters and garbage bins.

Maybe the 4lbs is before they cook it, but it’s weird how pictures don’t really do it justice. Above is a pick where you can see how hick the burger is better.[/quote]

They could’ve given you a bigger straw. Anyone would think they were trying to sabotage your chances of winning that 300 dollar prize…

Wow. That burger looks huuuuuge. Damn. The picture on page 1 is nothing like it. Lol. It’s like the revere of a McD burger’s poster. You know, when you order one of them massive burgers from the poster and you’re then served one the size of a donut. Lol.

Ah well, sorry you didn’t make it, Nards. Props to you for attempting the challenge. Better luck next time. And thanks for sharing the photos.

Video was hilarious “don’t blame the burger”.

Thanks…but there won’t be a next time! It’s like that summer, I think it was 1988, where I went to about 10 family picnics and ate potato salad at each one and now 24 years later I still won’t touch potato salad.
So of course my new cut started this morning.

Fucking top effort mate.

I did a kilo steak challenge for my 23rd, what they neglected to mention was I had to eat half a kilo of veges and half a kilo of potato wedges as well. Polished the steak and veges like a boss, had to force the damn potato down. Nearly saw it again towards the end.
Still, got a free t-shirt for my efforts.

I tried the 4 pound burger 1 pound of fries challenge at a bar near me, got about 1/3 the way the first time and a little over half the second time… it always looks easier then it is…

this fits here quite nicely.

Oh well, NT. At least it makes for some good pictures.

That is the biggest f’in burger ever.

Someone at work told me Adam Richman has quit doing the show Man vs Food for health reasons.

Yeah, he has athlete’s foot.

So, I take it those who fail food challenges are also those who don’t get blown-out for like 5 hours before attempting?

16+ hour fast + 1-2 grams high quality marijuana = Wicked success rate (50%+) with food challenges. And you can quote that.

The first picture made me think, “sure I could do this”.
After seeing Nards actually holding it however…

All I can think now is “One day I shall tell my grandkids the story of this courageous man, Nards”.

^^ Please do!

Yeah…the burger is like a weird optical illusion. Even I thought I might finish it when it first came out…
but look at that patty once you get near the middle!

I had lots of people telling me what I did wrong before ( I should have drunk 2 liters of water, I shouldn’t have skipped lunch, I should have eaten a huge salad for breakfast) but all I could have done would instead of only eating 30% like I did…I would finish 40%…and felt sick.

Question:
why 2 litres of water or, you mentioned it before, eating lots of oatmeal beforehand?

From my humble pov, this seems counterintuitive.

The whole competitive eating seems to not even reached it’s own golden age. (Kobayashi will perhaps one day be the japanese competitive eating equivalent of Sandow?)
Today’s know-how of massive munching sounds so vague to me I cannot help but wonder if it has even reached bro-level science or is stuck at pre-bro.

I mean, around fin-de-siecle, a person looking to build his body would get to hear all kinds of bizarre advice.
Barbell + weight progression was, as a concept, way more exotic then it is today.

Or am I just that clueless and 2 litres of water & a big bowl of oats is already a legit, time tested method like 20 rep squats?
