Feats of strength to inspire you this Festivus


Coming up with new and exciting ways to demonstrate one’s strength to one’s friends and family over Festivus can be a challenge. Fortunately, We Interrupt has the inspiration side of the equation covered. The videos below offer a range of possibilities for demonstrating your physical prowess for today’s secular day of celebration.

If we really wanted to, we could simply end this feats of strength piece with the gentleman below.

A step up from tossing wooden poles is being able to pick up giant spherical rocks and place them on barrels like Derek Poundstone in the video below.
