Things occasionally get competitve in this house. Last night was one of those occasions…

My husband and I got in to a conversation about arm strength for some reason that I can no longer recall. He asked me how strong I thought I was.
He said, “Do you think you are half as strong as me?”. “Um yeah…at least“, I replied.
We proceeded to the weight set in the basement where he lifted 60 lbs 5 times. He asked if I thought I could do half of that. I was positive that I could.
The Bet
“So if I can lift 60 lbs., you should be able to lift half of that, right?”, he asked.
“Absolutely”, I answered with out hesitation.
The bet was that if I could lift 30 lbs 2x with one arm (either arm), he would do a guest post for me. If I could not complete the task, I had to watch the “Ultimate Fighting Championship” with him.
What do you think happened?

So how was the ultimate fighting championship?
No, really. Did you win?
I can inagine those muscles getting firmer!
did you enjoy the fights? LOL
What’s he going to write about?
30 lbs is a toddler. What topic is he writing on?
Can’t wait to see what he comes up with to blog about!
30 lb? Less than a bag of salt for the water softener. But with one arm? Was it over your head? I need for data!
Of course, YOU WON!
ha!
i’ll be expecting his guest post soon, yes?
I bet YOU did it MommaK…and I, too am waiting for his guest post.
IS that Madonna????
I think we’ll be reading a guest post from your hubby shortly!
Enjoy the fights, Mamma
looking forward to reading that guest post from the hubby, i bet you could lift that with one little pinkie!
I think you beathisa**-can’t wait to read what he has to right- he’s good at this blog thing two!!
Ahahahahah What’s he going to write about?
I hope you whupped his ass!!!
If it were me, I would have been watching the fight.
I think we’ll be meeting Mr. Petroville shortly!
30 lbs is a lot. Can you sneak your other arm under your elbow???
I say you did it!
There are many ways in which I can lift 30 pounds with one hand/arm. Many, many ways….but not a curl. It was news to me too, let me tell you.
Stand with your hands by your side and turn your palms up. Place a 30 pound weight in one of your hands. Now bring that hand/arm straight up from the elbow towards your shoulder. Its tough. After I failed at 30 lbs. , I did 15lbs. 5 times which was challenging enough. I was really mad becasue I was sure I could do it.
A few minutes later I realized my right neck/shoulder area was screaming at me. Yep, I had pulled something. So for now I can’t look all the way right and I smell like Icy Hot but I have learned my lesson.
I also learned that this was an office bet that many men at my husbands work tried and failed. He felt so bad that I hurt myself, he did not make me hold up my end of the bet. So no Ultimate Fighting Championship….whew!!
Dang! I thought for sure you’d win. But, you should feel awesome that so many people have faith in you!
I would have guessed you could do it to, afterall we pick up our kids that way that much. But I wasn’t thinking of it as having to do a “curl”. Oops! Glad you didn’t have to watch the show anyways.
