My father saw the picture of ahren raiseing the 75 pound girl on his arm. He has quite strongly claimed its a myth, a fake. Anyway, so i did the math and proposed that 75 pounds is like 31kg and quite within the range of a lateral raise for a large man. He still disagrees. Does anyone know if this has ever been tested a world record in something like a lateral raise?
I would really like to know… purely for the sake of winning an arguement of course!!!
well she’s not on his hand, so its even less then 31kg. very possible if you ask me.

It is still 31kg whether it she on his hand on on his shoulder. The force required to lift it may be less, but it is still 31 kg. She didnt lose weight just by walking from his hand to his elbow.
Actually, yes she did! I have just discovered the new weight loss sensation. For just $1,000 I will have people walk from my hand to my elbow and they will instantly lose weight. Call now to be first to experience this new weight loss sensation.
It’s real. Ohren’s had what was widely regarded as the strongest shoulders in history (up to that point).

While the weight of the female obviously stays constant, the length of the lever-arm at which she is placed upon makes a huge difference as to the amount of strength required to hold her up.
If you put a bowling ball on the end of a broomstick, it’s a whole crap-load easier to hold it horizontally by holding just below the bowling ball than by holding onto the opposite end of the broomstick.
Anyway, Ahrens was a big strong dude and that’s a tiny freakin’ girl standing halfway up his arm. Entirely possible, if you ask me.
If she`s 75 lbs she is more like 34kg if a kg is 2,2 lbs…
I am going to try this with 35 kgs in the elbow region, let?s see how that works…
Remember his hand is also pointed to the sky. That adds a ton of strength to the movement. Its easily within the rhelm of possibility.
It is real.
Ahrens was strong as @#$k
The amazing thing about the picture is the girl is so incredibly light, not the fact that he is lifting her.
Ahrens used to do overhead dumbell presses with dumbells so long he could not press them straight up, but out at a V … hence the “Ahrens’ press” movement.
Ronnie does that with his lunch all the time, I don’t see the big deal.

No, I definitely cannot do this…

Ya know, there is this radical new thing called leverage that I heard about the other day…

He was just taking a piss at him, leverage is measured in units of force times length, such as ft-lbs or in-lbs. So the weight or mass of the girl herself does not change.

Bill Kazmaier (sp?) did a lateral raise hold for 5 sec. with something like 100 lbs. in his hand. I would think 75 at the elbow would be quite easy for him.
