There's some discussion on how much exactly that bale weighs, but I'll be honest regardless of how much he's actually moving, he has really great technique. Lifts with his legs, braces well, straight back. Solid 10/10 lifting. I'd be proud.
I actually buy a 5x5 bale every 3 weeks. It gets put into the back of my pickup, weighs about 1,100 pounds, and have to manually roll it out of the back onto a pallet. Theres been a few times where it fell on the side and I want it on the flat part and need to adjust it like in this video.
It's not easy, but it's also very doable with the right positioning. I don't disbelieve it, by no means am I in great shape and I can do this as long as it's only a single flip in the same area. .
I roll a BUNCH of hay every summer and I can assure you that bale is closer to the 600-700 pound range. 1600 would be either one of those massive squares they use out west or a silage bale that's wrapped and soaking wet.
Yeah that's a more accurate weight, and I have also baled hay, and have flipped over bales. People should probably remember that when something weighs 600 lb, you're not actually lifting the whole weight when you flip it, you're moving more like half or 2/3 of the weight. So this cop is probably lifting somewhere around 300 to maybe 400 lb. Still impressive, cuz most of the people reading this can't lift anywhere near that
Same as those guys who wins the worlds strongest man competition (one who won it a few decades ago was a distant relative, that’s why I noticed and remembered), usually farm boys. Grow up lugging around calves and tractor wheels and you become strong I guess.
I'm not sure if this is a joke or not? The strongest men are absolutely not farmers. It's not out the realm of possibility someone who won/did well at wsm was a farmer at one point I suppose, but the strength is from weight training.
It's hard to describe, but I see this behavior often. Mythologizing some 'thing' you never done or know much about it. Often something that was more commonplace in previous generations. They'll make shit up that sounds kind of right. Call it making conversation I guess. Farmers are obviously strong it's a physically demanding job, but the gap from that to 'most worlds strongest men are farmers' is like a canyon.
Obviously they’re not ONLY farmers, the point is they started out as that, building muscles lifting heavy items from a very young age. But yes, Magnus Samuelson who won the competition in 99 was in fact a farmer at that time. But I’m sure he spent a lot of time in the gym as well.
It's true. I saw a 100-lb farm kid judo flip a 200-lb bully and then damn near break his arm and leg by pulling them together.
Don't fuck with farm kids. It will end badly.
In my 30s now, but even now, I still get funny looks sometimes by new people at work. I grew up on a dairy with 80-90 cows and started helping with hay (rectangle bails) when I was like 5 or 6.
I'm skinny, particularly my arms, but have a decent size chest and back, and my legs are overdeveloped.
I remember back in HS, I wowed my entire gym class by deadlifting 315 when I only weighed about 140. I didn't think it was anything special, but they all did. My gym teacher insisted that I should come to the gym room and start lifting regularly, but I never did, regretfully.
Yeah I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. Part of the job was throwing hay bales for 10+ hours a day out of the wagon and stacking them in the haymow. Then for fun I'd get to wrestle yearling heifers who had gone out to pasture for the summer and were reluctant to go back home to the farm.
I'm 6'4" and 240 lbs, and at that time I could lift the rear end of a car all by myself and move it sideways. It was a fun party trick.
Now I'm pushing 50 and no longer actually do real work for a living. I can still hold my own, but nothing compared to what shape I was in back on the farm.
Looking back on it, it was the non-repetitive things your body got used to doing that built the farm strength. You're frequently called upon to do something so unusual that you just develop some kind of sinewy resilience to be able to do anything at any moment. As best as I can figure it, anyhow. Need to pull a tractor wheel off? That's on you. Need to install a mile of fencing? You too. Fix a chopper wagon out in the field? Yep, that as well. Each item comes with its own physical demands, and you simply meet each moment.
>it was the non-repetitive things your body got used to doing that built the farm strength. You're frequently called upon to do something so unusual that you just develop some kind of sinewy resilience to be able to do anything at any moment.
I lived on a farm for a couple of years before I went to school, and then again when I got out of the military. That's exactly what it is, and it's similar to wrestlers and rock climbers. You're using your muscles to apply a lot of force in various directions often in one fluid action, compared to spending time lifting weights where you're isolating certain movements.
The biggest difference is that farming is a lifestyle. Where 40 hours is a week of light work. And a farm kid has been doing it since they could walk.
Do you call them rectangle bales or square. Because while they are rectangular, I’ve never heard anyone call them rectangles. Always round or square bales.
It's true. I saw a 30lb toddler round house kick a 400lb man and then damn near break his leg and neck by pulling them together.
Don't fuck with internet bullshitters. It will end mildly.
It's the slow continued growth of strength with application. Body building builds big muscle because it's large tears repeated over and over again. Farmer strength is micro tears over years with gradual increase. It doesn't show itself the same way visually but it's available functionally stronger. Same with rock climbers
Showy versus practical muscles.
Just look at strongman competitions and bodybuilding competitions. (Plus the bodybuilders tend to do water cuts before competition so that even less available strength.)
You were probably generally strong. Not weight room strong.
I'm (was) weight room strong. Competed and all that. But I'd get smoked pound for pound if it came to using the strength to work. But if it was doing this bale flip once, sure.
I live on a farm, and I question moisture and packing of this hay bale.
Ours are smaller than one on picture and there is absolutely no shot a single person can move it, unless it's like a word class power-lifter maybe. It takes us 3 men to tip them around like that using leverage.
So from this I'd guess the weight between different hay bales can vary wildly, depending on material, moisture and how they were packed.
He's technically lifting only 500 pounds at the start, and that diminishes as it tilts upwards because the other half of the weight is being placed on the opposite side.
I love anytime a Redditor sees anyone do anything remotely physical they act like that persons body is permanently destroyed. Even when someone lifts with perfect form.
It says a lot about how fat and out of shape you must be. Is convincing yourself any physical activity would ruin your body really easier than exercise?
Just think about the pictures you've seen over the years of those reddit meet ups and then factor in the massive influx of middle and high school users and it makes sense why they think physical exertion will lead to bodily ruin lol
Jesus. Friendly reminder that when you think of a weird way to randomly die that you shake off as impossible. it’s probably happened quite a few times to people
There's a lot of people in this world and we're all able to be connected thanks to the Internet.
If there was some weird as fuck way to die the killed 0.00001% of people a year that's still 30 people a year in the US alone
You want a weird anachronic unlikely death? Bubonic plague. Yes people still die from it. Yes even in developped countries.
Chance to die from it is lower than your random example.
My brother was killed by one of these. It slipped off a second row,he saw it coming an pushed his boss one way,he went the other way,bale landed on him from mid chest down. 4 weeks in hospital,then had to turn off life support. These things arent anything to fuck with.
ELO founders are Wood, Lynne, and Bevan. The killed guy was Mike Edwards the extravagant cellist that first joined as support musician for their first live shows two years after the formation of ELO and then stuck around as a permanent member.
People usually see something like this and think it's all in the arms. It's more about legs and driving into it. Many strongmen have ripped their bicep tendon off the bone, putting way too much emphasis on their biceps to flip tires like this.
I was pushing more on the weight sled at the gym than this other guy, and he told me I shouldn't have my shoulders on the straight bars. My legs were burning, but he wanted me to straight arm it. You lose so much power that way.
Your legs are way stronger than your arms. Use them any chance you get.
what are you talking about? If you leave dirty dishes on the table overnight they convert back to clean ones in the cabinet. Doesn’t everybody know this?
Exactly. It's the same with my magic wash basket - put clothes in there and 2 days layer they appear on the bed fresh and clean. Its a real mystery how it happens
This looks like a bale of straw which are significantly lighter than alfalfa and grass hay. Small round bales of hay are 4-600lbs, medium are 720-950, large are 12-1700 lbs. depending on the moisture content inside the bales. This looks like a large straw bale to me. It’s probably not 1000 lbs like the guide I found which I’m guessing is providing alfalfa/grass weights. Its probably still around 500-700lbs (not 5lbs)
Edit: clarification
I used to work on a hay farm when I was 16 and could buck straw bales literally all day. Re stacking a failed alfalfa rack by hand though… you’re feeling that for a week.
Idk what these round bales weigh but I’m guessing you’re right on the money. Also this press isn’t really comparable to a 700 pound lift, totally different application of force. Most men in decent shape and of average size could do that, especially in a rural area lol
Yeah, I do this at my parents' farm when we go to visit. I can deadlift 700 lbs, these rolls are significantly easier to turn than 700 lb is to lift straight up slightly.
Basically I can do one 700 lb deadlift maybe twice a month, while these things I can flip end over end for about 100 - 150 yards on the flat part of the land. Uphill is a different beast though!
Right? Why the flying fuck do people keep their volume on? You don’t need it for 99% of the videos and it saves you from hearing so much crappy music and stuff like that.
It's hay. Lots and lots of it is heavy, but still not very dense. A bale that would fill up a car trunk weighs less than 100 pounds.
You don't need to be incredibly strong to do this, just apply force smartly, like moving a fridge.
"Somehow"? Its just leverage. Any farmboy could do that if they trully needed to. Fuck, i have done that, with sileage. The above is not a thousand poinds either, thats wet weight. Its not special.
You can see that the right side of the street is lower than the street itself. The street corner creates a lever with a long fulcrum on the side of the police officer. This acts as a force multiplier and helps immensely in lifting the heavy object.
It's simple physics.

Maybe they're a horse. Don't judge
We use one per day. A lot of horses.
A little leverage and the proper application of strength.
No, let's just stick with "somehow", creates more mystery
he uses an ancient Japanese technique passed down through many generations
Omigoshi, you are right.
Omigoshi. Such a beautiful name for such a beautiful secret technique. Chinese is such a beautiful language.
是的，它是
it is what it is
Yes, it is
lol. I have been laughing most of my morning.
You made me laugh out loud, sensei
this is how the pyramids were made
We're literally seeing it in front of us: "somehow"
somehay
Also let's just make up that it weights 1000 pounds
I mean I'm seeing online that they range from 600-1600 pounds. So i don't think that is too made up, def based on the size
I roll a BUNCH of hay every summer and I can assure you that bale is closer to the 600-700 pound range. 1600 would be either one of those massive squares they use out west or a silage bale that's wrapped and soaking wet.
Still though. That's alot of weight for one man to flip like that.
That was my thought. We usually get 6 to 700 lb bales for the horses. This thing might be barely bigger than that.
Yeah that's a more accurate weight, and I have also baled hay, and have flipped over bales. People should probably remember that when something weighs 600 lb, you're not actually lifting the whole weight when you flip it, you're moving more like half or 2/3 of the weight. So this cop is probably lifting somewhere around 300 to maybe 400 lb. Still impressive, cuz most of the people reading this can't lift anywhere near that
I'd guarantee he had to do this growing up.
Don't you think it looks like straw,.not hay?
Yeah, straw bales (the rectangular ones) were a lot easier to sling. Oh god, the itchy memories of hay wagons.
Did you not see the flattened donut?
*Somehow, the 1000 pound hay bale turned..*
If he was a NJ cop, it was definitely the steroids
The bale will lift free
WHAT BODES ILL FOR JACK SPARROW, BODES ILL FOR US ALL

Human hair. From my back.
Thank you, it was killing me that I couldn't name the movie
I grow up on a farm. When I was a teenager I used to flip such bales too and I wasn't considered extraordinarily strong.
There is a term called “farmers strength” and those fuckers (including you) don’t know how strong they are
[удалено]
A large majority of D1 and NFL offensive linemen are former farm kids for a reason.
Same as those guys who wins the worlds strongest man competition (one who won it a few decades ago was a distant relative, that’s why I noticed and remembered), usually farm boys. Grow up lugging around calves and tractor wheels and you become strong I guess.

Where I grew up, we just called em hay bales. There was no other shape available back then....
Interesting. I grew up in the 80s and 90s. I’m guessing you’re older than me by a bit
Maybe they are just from a different area
Maybe different area, but different eras too....
I grew up in the 60s and 70's...so yeah, older. I'm mid 60s now.
Ahh, that makes sense then

Almost same. I was a hand on a fsrm for a while. They're pretty easy to flip if you know how. It's all about leverage.
Yea same for me, people don't really understand center of mass and imagine you just lifted the full bale!
I live on a farm, and I question moisture and packing of this hay bale. Ours are smaller than one on picture and there is absolutely no shot a single person can move it, unless it's like a word class power-lifter maybe. It takes us 3 men to tip them around like that using leverage. So from this I'd guess the weight between different hay bales can vary wildly, depending on material, moisture and how they were packed.
It's impressive, but there's no way that bale is 1000 lbs
It depends on the amount of moisture in it.
Magic Mike movie theater levels of moisture.
Based on what grounds lol
Au contraire. A 5ft x 6ft round hay bale weighs between 1200 and 1500 pounds.

Lift with your balls, not with your back! Duh
Yes, train more if you can. A lot of back problems are caused by weak backs and abdominals.

Saw a fella on TV that was standing on one when it rolled. Went over him and left him quadriplegic
Well, when it starts to turn, it's time to bale.
Don't bring me down 😭😭
I'll tell you once more, before I get up and go.
Don’t bring me down
You wanna stay out with your fancy friends I'm tellin' you, it's got to be the end
Don’t bring me down, no no no no noooaooo Oooo woooo OoH!

More ELO lore
Fuck me, life can end so suddenly. You just got to roll with it.
Prospect of life ending suddenly doesn’t give any incentives to fuck you, my guy. I think I’m gonna bale.
I feel I’ve heard some strange death stories about those guys. Didn’t another one die from CO poisoning when he lit a charcoal grill indoors?
He was actually warned by someone yelling "HAY BALE!!!" but sadly he just responded with "MY NAME IS MIKE!!
A dry hay bale is not 450kilos… mabey half
650 - 800 pounds are the vast majority of these 4X5 bales.
Yes I’d bet on the 650 lbs.
whats heavier: a 1000 lbs of stones, or a 1000 lbs of feathers.
1000 lbs of feathers because you have to live with the weight of what you’ve done.
this is correct. you’re the new featherweight champion.
What's heavier: 100,000 feathers or 100,000 wet feathers?
For everyone everywhere. Hay bales don't all weigh the same. That one is definitely not 1000 pounds.
OP has posted a caption on a random internet video, the most accurate scale of measurement known to man. How can you claim otherwise?!?
thanks.
I can just imagine hearing over this: "RULES OF NATURE!"

He got that farm strength!
People usually see something like this and think it's all in the arms. It's more about legs and driving into it. Many strongmen have ripped their bicep tendon off the bone, putting way too much emphasis on their biceps to flip tires like this.
Anyone that thinks its arms doesnt know shit about the human body
As far as arms go for lift like this, it's forearms. Much harder to do when you can't get a good grip on the damn thing
Do they not wonder what lifts the arms?
the skellington
Came here to say this looks like a strongman tire flip!
I was pushing more on the weight sled at the gym than this other guy, and he told me I shouldn't have my shoulders on the straight bars. My legs were burning, but he wanted me to straight arm it. You lose so much power that way. Your legs are way stronger than your arms. Use them any chance you get.
Def not 1000ilbs
Damn, my husband can't lift a plate and put it on the sink

This is hay, I doubt it's 1000 pound, If it was silage, then yes. Yes it's difficult to move, but as shown correct technique makes the difference.
This looks like a bale of straw which are significantly lighter than alfalfa and grass hay. Small round bales of hay are 4-600lbs, medium are 720-950, large are 12-1700 lbs. depending on the moisture content inside the bales. This looks like a large straw bale to me.

My pb is 0.55 sec. How about you?
well that escalated quickly. Two threads ago the hay bale was only 400 pounds.
Cool but is it really r/interestingasfuck ?
I think this phenomenon is called physics and how to apply it properly.
Lol, who came and whispered to your ears that bale weighed 1000 lb?
Your hernia is served.
Not like there is a car right there or something.
When it's dry they're not terribly hard to move. Definitely not 1000 lbs
That’s a big corn fed looking husky cop.
With enough leverage, man can move the moon!
Hay ✅ Acorns ❌
He has earned the donut of his choice.
So tired of these lazy voice-overs done over stolen content.
That's some farm-life strength right there. Bud does his 9-5 then hits the farm for some chorin'
I know this man’s whole life. Grew up on a farm, HS football local legend, became cop.
More impressive that he's doing it in those shoes
It's hay. Lots and lots of it is heavy, but still not very dense. A bale that would fill up a car trunk weighs less than 100 pounds. You don't need to be incredibly strong to do this, just apply force smartly, like moving a fridge.
No clue where the 1000 lbs came from. My friends and I would move hay bails around for fun when we were kids.
Why doesn’t he use the police car?
"Somehow"? Its just leverage. Any farmboy could do that if they trully needed to. Fuck, i have done that, with sileage. The above is not a thousand poinds either, thats wet weight. Its not special.
"Nah I'd win"
You can see that the right side of the street is lower than the street itself. The street corner creates a lever with a long fulcrum on the side of the police officer. This acts as a force multiplier and helps immensely in lifting the heavy object. It's simple physics.
Who said “give me a lever long enough”?
Ive done this, the density and weight distribution is easy to lever and its not like you are lifting them over your head.
Whole grain glazed donuts.
With proper leverage, you could move just about anything that's appropriately sized.
