In the past, strongmen would perform various feats of strength such as the bent press not to be confused with the bench press , which did not exist at the time , supporting large amounts of weight held overhead at arm's length, steel bending, chain breaking, etc.
Large amounts of wrist, hand, and tendon strength were required for these feats, as well as prodigious oblique strength. The most famous competitions of this type are the World's Strongest Man , the Arnold Strongman Classic , the Strongman Champions League and the Giants Live tour, however many countries hold national-level competitions.

They shared about the sound of helicopters in the night that flew over the jungles and dropped black garbage bags containing the remains of those who posed real or imaginary threats to his dictatorship.
