An estimate on the TOTAL weight of everything you have ever picked up?

Over or under 380 TONS? (760,000 pounds)

How about an estimate of the TOTAL weight of things by everyone you know. ?

Let's see a gallon water weighs 8.35 pounds so a half gallon of milk weighs at least 4.175 pounds.....so that would be 910,180 gallons of water or .........

1. That's amazing

Never really thought about it. Did some math. On leg day at the gym, I lift/move almost 50,000 pounds. That's once a week. One never thinks of the total amount of much of anything, I guess (like how many calories or grams of fat one consumes in a year).

2. Hey Atlas take a day off

Really 50,000? What do you walk around with a car on your back?

Impressive.

3. It really isn't impressive

Let's take a typical chest day for an average guy at the gym.

Flat bench, 225 lbs. 3 sets of 12 reps: 8100 lbs
Pec Deck Machine, 100 lbs, 3 sets of 12 reps: 3600 lbs
Incline bench, 135 lbs, 3 sets of 12 reps: 4860 lbs
High Cable Crossovers (flyes), 100 lbs (50 lbs per side), 3 sets of 12 reps: 3600 lbs

4 exercises, 12 sets, over 20,000 lbs.

It just adds up quickly. I really wasn't trying to kill any effect, nor suggest I was any type of Atlas.

4. Relative to what?

If it is relative to the wine glass i'm holding right now, then
actually, the entire earth has been picked up, and i've lifted
more tons than zeros in the article.
