I do that when I bring my daughters to the park. I used to be able to do 1 armed pullups, but I seriously would need to lose 20 lbs to do that right now.


You mean a serious, for-real one-arm pullup, where you just let the other arm dangle (as opposed to the not real kind where you grab your forearm with your other arm)?

If so, :worship2: :worship2: :worship2:

Yeah. One arm, no support. The type of workouts I did were not designed to pack on muscle, but you did get strong. I wasn't as good as some guys who could like, keep their body from swaying, though. Some people are just insane. I knew a guy who could do the human flag. I tried once, and I swear that I nearly broken my back.

If you're into car spotting you should check out this guys flickr stream. He lives in Hong Kong and shoots everything crazy over there. Maybe 3/4's exotics and 1/4 cult classics, but almost everything is interesting. Lots of focus on license plates too since I guess that's a big deal over there.

I'd take up car spotting/photoing but I am too lazy on the camera draw. Tokyo is mecca if you want to car spot, my wife is making fun of me because I point out rare cars by reflex and she acts like I'm a bumpkin from the woods. Couple days ago I went out, I pass by a gas station next to some small car showroom; at the gas station gassing up is a white DBS and a 997TT cab, at the showroom next door is a Miura SV and a Countach, and then in front passing by on the street at the same instant is a pristine Porsche 356 coupe with the little luggage rack and a leather suitcase on the back. Parked on the other side of the street is an F355 berlinetta and a LP560-4. The Japanese economy is still in the dumps but people still like cars here.

How much is a Lambo new in Japan? Think it costs 1.1 million here in Singapore, and a Rolls Royce Phantom goes for 1.3 million. ******* ridiculous.

oh yeah and the license plates in Japan, the little 4-digit dealies - they are mostly randomly assigned, but you can put in for custom numbers somehow, not sure how it's done because there are some other rules related to your domicile and zoned licensing office, but you can get your numeric car model number on your plate (i.e. 9.11 or 3.55, 4.30, ..68 for a Camaro, etc) - and if it's not a car-related thing, the Japanese all want a triple-7 number, and the Chinese living in Japan want triple or quad 8's for their plates. You see a ton of both around, and the 9.11 plates on Porsches, ..55's on AMG's.
