    1: Spend countless hours over several years building strength in your arms, lower back, traps, and quads.

    2: Set the world record for car flipping.

    3: Wonder why.

    I've flipped off WAY more than eight cars in just ONE minute on the Dan Ryan. Same amount of Tylenol though.

    I used to love watching World's Strongest Man. Best moment was this guy holding up the Pillars of Hercules. As he was straining with all his might, his nose started bleeding. Intense.

    Members of the crowd reported that during the first seven flips, they thought Franz would be able to continue to flip the car indefinitely. A few of them were talking about buying cars in Florida to flip themselves. However, they all changed their minds (and those closer to the action lost their appetites) when Franz's bubble burst on the eighth flip.

    The curious lack of an engine, begs the question "what contitutes a 'car' for the purposes of the record?"

    @smalleyxb122: That's my problem with strongman comps. They're visually and athletically amazing, but this is a really vague record. I prefer to see more objectivity and repeatability in records--this makes them indisputable.

    Like a London banker strolling streets of Soho, I'm far more impressed by a 500-pound snatch.

    I saw a race where a guy flipped a car eight times in about five seconds. Silly Austrian, getting out of the car to do it the hard way.

    You know, the guy that did it from inside, he needed about 27 Tylenol afterward, too.

    What's our obsession with records?

    Franz: I vant to be the best at something. I vant glory. I vant to be a champion.

    Hanz: Okay, how about soccer?

    Franz: No, no. I'm no good at soccer.

    Hanz: Are you smart, can you handle physics?

    Franz: I know how to tie my shoes.

    Hanz: You always wear loafers, but we'll skip that, moving on then. Can you eat a lot, real fast?

    Franz: Nein.

    Hanz: Well what can you do?

    Franz: I can flip a car-

    They will be eaten by Polar Bears. The bio-diesel french fry odor will attract them, and the Delica's lackofplacestohideiness will be their downfall. It's kind of ironic actually.
