Transcribing! Also, can we please get a better name? Like "Chris Pumps Iorn" or "Chris does reps" or something?--Beat 06:22, 5 November 2009 (CET)

• ...Elbow-greased strength? -- Anaconda 06:44, 5 November 2009 (CET)
  • Oooh! That one's good! I'm changing my vote to that.--Beat 06:49, 5 November 2009 (CET)
  • That's good. I also suggest "The Big Five-Oh." Alteceastlansing 06:53, 5 November 2009 (CET)

Sure, if you want to. I only made the page, a more flavorful name would help I reckon--El Presidente 06:31, 5 November 2009 (CET)

The original link to the weight of a can of soda was based on an 12 pack of 8-ounce cans, but those are 12-ounce cans that he has (in his soda cartons that is; his man-cans are much heavier). So I changed the link. Alteceastlansing 06:38, 5 November 2009 (CET)

Those boxes really don't look full. JohnnyA 07:58, 5 November 2009 (CET)

If he's claiming it's 4.26 litres tall, and all the cans are full then the box could not have weighed anymore than 4.26kg--El Presidente 06:41, 5 November 2009 (CET)

• 4.26 litres would refer to the volume of the liquid itself. The aluminum cans and the carton would add a touch more weight than just that of the liquid. Alteceastlansing 08:12, 5 November 2009 (CET)

In all fairness to that damned impostor Ian Brandon Anderson, simply giving the mass of those packs of cans won't do justice to the amount of effort he puts out in lifting those boxes. Let's say that each of those packs has a mass of 3 kg. Compared to lifting two 3kg dumbbells, a lot more effort needs to be made for lifting those boxes, because the mass is distributed a fair distance away from where he's gripping them. Just as trying to a 10kg weight over your head when it's on the other end of a 20m pole would be tougher than just picking the damn thing up and lifting it over your head, there's an added difficulty with lifting these boxes vs. a normal weight. That's not to say that IBA's feat is of Olympian strength (or even respectable strength), but it is to say that trying to figure out the weight of the boxes doesn't really prove all that much. And... as for the transcript, are you sure he says that they weigh 50 pounds? It kind of sounds like "15 pounds", which would be a lot more accurate. Anyway... Chris fails, regardless. I also propose that we name this video "Chris Pumps Aluminum and Cardboard". Though "The Big Five-Oh" is pretty appealing, too.... I'm done rambling. --Tristran 07:10, 5 November 2009 (CET)

• No, he's definitely saying "50 pounds." Actually, he's saying "fitty pounds." Alteceastlansing 07:17, 5 November 2009 (CET)

• • He's saying 50. --Anaconda 07:18, 5 November 2009 (CET)

• • • I just listened to it again. Sounds like 50 to me. --Beat 07:23, 5 November 2009 (CET)
