If it’s ~300lbs then it’s certainly heavy - but I think some won’t realize what’s most impressive about this is (a) looks to be about 5’5” so prolly only weighs ~80kg himself (b) he’s got not a pick of body fat on him. I’ve been pretty serious about powerlifting in the past and can atlas stone carry 150kg… But the times in my life where I was even remotely close to this lean/shredded I was just… exhausted all the time and couldn’t lift shit. Dude’s fully built different.

Not only is that heavy, it's got all sorts of pointy bolts, fittings and assorted dodads sticking out of it... not very comfortable to lift, even if it wasn't like 300lbs or so...

Yeah dude was probably bleeding from half a dozen cuts afterward. Good job, hope the flex was worth the injuries from lifting something very heavy awkwardly.

Yeah Yeah, I remember my thirties too. Have fun with the back issues in a few years. And put on some damn shoes.

Is that still a thing? I remember in the 80’s hearing about it all the time. But not since the early mid-90’s

I once worked with a mechanic we called the big Swede because, well…he was big and Swedish. The boss told me he once tried to back a Suzuki (can’t remember what car now but that little 3 cylinder job) he was looking back and pouring on the power but it wouldn’t move, looked front and big Swede had lifted the front of the car off the ground

Lift with your knees not with your back.

Remember kids. Lift with your back not your legs. The “Man” tells you the opposite so you won’t get those sweet sweet disability payments. Follow me for more safety tips.

Was he not going to put it back in the car?

5 days ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 1

I'm afraid that would have required another 30 to 40 back-punches.

5 days ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

It would have been installed backwards if he did.

5 days ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

That's fine, you can just put the car in reverse

I'm just glad he didn't drop it on his foot, the title specifying barefoot was making me worried :P

I’m not sure you know what “ease” means

5 days ago | Likes 95 Dislikes 6

well he has room to flex unnessecary muiscles (all of them) while lifting that thing. he's basicly posing.

5 days ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

On a scale of relative ease, that's definitely on the "less visible effort" side

5 days ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I think it's relative here. Ease compared to myself who would try to lift it, strain, hurt their back and fall over, then shit themself.

Amateur. I can do that all in the same movement. ;)

Toyota 2AZFE engine weighs 300lbs

Add in the fluids and extra parts, it's probably close to 350.

So I was wondering if I was out of my mind thinking that wasn't that much (to me) so I looked up my most demanding regular task at a job which was moving the CO2 canisters where I worked to clean the floors every night. They were big canisters. Came up to my chin and I am over 6' tall. I would pick them up and haul them into the next room. Those things are about 300lbs full. So yeah I may not be shredded like him but I am pretty sure I could lift it (disabled now so I cannot walk with it tho)

Was thinking that's got to be several hundred pounds of metal. Dude's carrying it like I carry 40lb bags of salt.

I threw out my back just reading "40lb bag of salt!"

Ah, shit, I just remembered I have 4 40lb bags in my trunk that I have to take down into the basement.

heaviest version of the 2az-fe is 280lbs w/o accessories. the lighter versions are under 270.

That is about 125kg. It is impressive, but not that impressive.

not light by any means, but also probably pretty much standard for people of his build.

5 days ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 2

Maybe if it was neatly arranged on a bar. This is impressive as hell.

5 days ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I could probably clean and press 180 on a bar. I bet I'd struggle to lift 90 with that grip, arms wider than my hips.

How much is that in washing machines?

5 days ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Depends, are the washing machines loaded? Full capacity?

5 days ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's full


Of bananas

5 days ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

It's terrible because both are good standards for size but very obscure for weight (or cost in the case of the bananas)

5 days ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

If we average a washing machine at 170lbs, a banana at 5.5oz, estimate that we can fit 650 bananas in a washing machine, totaling about 393lbs. Our car engine is about 0.69 washing machines full of bananas… nice.
