I'm 6'5" 235 pounds

[Bones]

Six feet from shoulder to shoulder

Iron fists, Head like a boulder (anyone know that Foghat song?)



Anyway, I'm no puss, I work hard every day and keep in pretty good shape. But, I'll be damned if I can't squeeze the Smuckers squeezable jelly bottle hard enough to get more than a wet fart's worth of jelly on my toast. :dunno

[Lawn Jockey]

Man up and get a vise like I did.

[Flyin' Brian]

Cut the bottom off with a utility knife.

[59Vampire]

welches is much easier to squeeze

[TRIODEROB]

its funny

my mom, when she was in her 30s was strong as hell.

normal size women - did not look strong at all.

many times saw her take a jar like that - grit her teeth and twist
off a top.

you could hear the sound of air rush into the jar as it opened !

[Lawn Jockey]

I bet ROWDY could squeeze it.

[mge80]

Buy the old fashioned, screw top jar and dig it out with a knife.

Look at the little girly man! :eek:

LOL!!! It's strange you bring this up. I am 6'3" 265, and I had a hard time with the Golden Blossom Honey Squeeze jar the other day. I feel like a sissy even admiting it! :messedup

I put that thing between my nads and squeeze out all I want.:warning(unless you are trained to do this...DON'T)
6 1 210....Most of it is nads.
I use the "power nad" workout every morning.
I got it years ago( on Beta).....It was called "Better Living through Bigger and more Powerful Nads"
I can open jars, twist off beer caps, crush beer cans....You know, stuff that "normal nads" can't do.
I am always the "life" of the party":)
PM me and will send you a copy, you will feel better about yourself AND gain popularity amongst friends/piers.

It'll work out widdle fella.

[recto-robbie]

Chuck Norris could simply look at the jar with a mean face and it would pour out itself. No bullshit either.

And if he attempted what 90Wreck described above everything in a 40mi radius would be covered in jelly.

[jefesq]

store it upside down

store it upside down

Mind over muscle?

6'-2", 290 and when I have to squeeze that Heinz easy squeeze plastic bottle with the stay clean cap.............

[Southbound]

I'm going back to the redheads thread.........wussy's..

[darth_vader]

As usual, there's more to these things than just brute strength. My Dad is a big guy, and more than once has been struggling to get the lids off of jars. In walks 5'10" and 140lbs of me, takes the jar, taps the lid on the edge of the counter like a smartass, and off comes the lid with zero effort. Can't say I've tried the squeezy jam, but I'm sure there's some trick to getting it out, it's just a matter of working out what that is.

Women usually have strong wrist and palm strength due to the fact that they practice twisting our ears a lot :D

"Wide Boy" was a killer track by Lonesome Dave and the boys. In fact, it's my screen name on Foghat's official site.

Now back to your regularly scheduled bottle squeezin'!

When you go to open air tight jars take a spoon and give it a good whack in the centre of the lid. A five year old can open it after that. Try it and see, it works every time.http://www.thegearpage.net/board/images/icons/icon14.gif

I hate when I sqeeze the bottle and it explodes and scatters jelly all over the kitchen. Man I hate that!

[Midnight Lady]

For jars: A rubber glove. Or, I use that triangle tool thing that one uses to punch holes in the top of apple juice cans. Insert under lid of stubborn jar and you can hear the seal release.

For squeeze bottles: cut a bigger hole in the squeeze top or remove it completely if you can. Storing it upside down is also a good idea.


I'm not 6'5" or anything remotely close to that. I'm 5'4" and have these small (yet strong) hands. I'm not sure what the test group is for these containers, but they are very strong and determined people!!!!!

Wow, you could pound me into the ground. :messedup I'm a measly 5'7 / 150 :cry: but can squeeze the Smuckers so hard that it will spray out fast enough to put out a fire if pointed at one. :boxer :boxer

But Tweedy, you post so much bigger than that. :confused:

[daveg777]

Most of us humans have very poor grip strength as we are no longer a agri-based culture as a whole. Meaning a smaller segment of Americans preform manual labor and we loss what we don't use. I always focus some time weekly to work on hand and foreman strength, just cuz. It is shocking how weak our hands have become, and how many people shake hands like sissy's.

I hope some of that made any sense...:jo


Dave

[Doodad]

You are trying too hard. Just tell yourself there is no squeeze bottle and it will fall like manna.

I hate people who have a limp handshake. I really believe it says something about their personality. Handshakes should be firm but not aggressive. If you flop your hand around like a dead fish you're nine tenths of the way to me concluding you're a spineless under-achiever.

Nothing worse than shaking someone's hand that feels like a warm fish. Yuk! Neither should the grip threaten to break all the bones in your hand (those are just as bad - ouch!). I think this should be taught somewhere. It is one of the things you are judged on at a first meeting - that and eye contact!!!!

Is this a metaphor, for...you know?

:huh

[darth_vader]

I totally agree! When I meet a man (or woman for that matter) I want a firm handshake. A wimpy handshake is a total turn off for me. And I can't believe the number of people, men and women, that can't maintain eye contact during a conversation. Both signal confidence to me.

That's something I've always had to work on. Was painfully shy as a kid, so I never learned to look people in the eye. Even now if I'm not paying attention I tend to glance around at other things. I'm still listening really close, but people instantly think that I'm bored or not paying attention.

[Red Suede]

I shake hands to the grip of the other person. Although I hate it when someone gives you the bonebreaker. (I play guitar, after all).

What if they shake your hand like a limp washrag and tickle your palm with their last two fingers? :huh

This is a classic question many folks ask. It clearly depends on who is doing it. I personally would kick anyone's arse unless she fit a specific profile of my liking. :boxer

[mrbill]

Save the little jelly packets you get at restaurants, and use those.

Or drop about 70-80 lbs, and then your inability to squeeze out some jelly with that man-mountain physique you have won't seem so embarrassing.

;)

[Bones]

I brought this up at lunch today with about 20 other construction workers, we had a great laugh about it, but the vast majority admitted they had a lot of difficulty getting anything out of these squeeze bottles.

[edgewound]

Use heavier strings....good to make the grip stronger.
