vwmarvin Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The title pretty much says it all. I picked up 275lbs. 5 times in a row! I was pretty pumped.

Rooks Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Very nice. Well done sir, both on your deadlifting milestone as well as the research to determine how much a wookie weighs. Link to comment

Luthorcrow Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Congratulations! Awesome stuff.A wookie sure but Chewie was 300 if he was a pound. Of course in space he would weigh nothing. Link to comment
Avistew Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Okay, we obviously need to make a list of nerdy stuff and how much they weigh. Then we can mention these kinds of awesome milestones and everyone (here) will know what they mean!I suggest we include hobbits or yoda so that people who are still early in their journey can still have something awesome to brag about Link to comment

Book Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 How is Artoo not heavier? He's made of metal!I know. I was really hoping that he'd be in the 200-250 kg range. And I searched all the creatures of Star Wars I could find, and couldn't find anything in that range.Space-Age materials, I guess. Character and Epic Quest!

maggerson Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Quick, someone figure out how much a taun taun weighs (for lifting totals), or how much Yoda weighs (for weight vest workouts)! Don't write a check with your mouth you can't cash with your ass Link to comment
