This is so true…I’ve just been home for some weeks in the holidays to help my dad working on our house, and I am stronger in general I would say, but I can screw in a screw and he is always able to tighten it up even more, whereas I can’t do the same with his. He will always laught and ask me what I actually train for…but seriously, I am happy that my dad is like that, what man wants a dad that is weaker, he is there to challenge you!!!
My dad is a pussy and I can fuck him up anytime. About that “dad strength” shit, try heavy manual labour for a couple of years.
My wife, her friend and I all went hiking and camping one weekend and when we got to the campsite there was this huge log laying off away from the fire ring. We all thought that it would be nice if we could get the log over to the fire ring so we’d have a place to sit. We couldn’t roll it, because it was actually a stump of a tree that had fallen and the roots prevented it from rolling. It was then that I decided it was time for a strongman challenge. I assumed a good sumo position and deadlifted it up to my knees. (At this point I realized just how heavy this friggin log was). I workout with a little over 400 on the deadlift, and lifting the end of this log felt like I was maxing out on the deadlift. (I think the whole log weighed about 800 lbs). After breathing for a few seconds with it on my knees, I was able to get it up to my chest, where I kind of “viking pressed” it on up. From there, I was able to knock it on over. It still wasn’t in a good position, so I had to flip it one more time. The second flip wasn’t so bad, because my adrenaline was pumping from the first flip and I felt like King Kong. My wife and her friend were in utter disbelief! I mean, this log was huge and I just flipped it end-over-end twice. I can’t think of a time where I’ve felt manlier than that day. My wife was very proud that her friend was there to witness her man doing something like this. If we would have been alone, I definitely would have got laid!

Yeah, my Dad will always have that mind-edge on me … never really knowing if I could kick his ass or not.
Even if you could, why would you want to?

No shit? My moms stronger then your metro friend! My aunt refers to her as strong like bull. Not dad strength but farm girl, tomboy strength.
