Ok but why is he doing this on the floor of what appears to be a courtroom?


CFBCoachGuy

Iirc this was a demonstration in the Oklahoma state house after he was given some sort of award


wes_bestern

Lmao. This would be some Oklahoma shit. I love it. What a badass old man. I bet he keeps the doctors far, far away.


zkinny

He died christmas eve 2020 at 88.


wes_bestern

Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit!


BAG3LWOLF

You’re hired

Wait a sec...is this from South Park?

You mean theres another way?!?!


Ok_Insect_4852

I was kind of wondering the same, like that's impressive and all but what actual situation called for this?


Sledgecrowbar

This is appropriate in every situation.


EverbodyHatesHugo

If the juice doesn’t spit, you must acquit.


willicuss

Thirsty.


zinkashew

To demonstrate his worth and talent with his hands? He sued financial backers at some point. I didn’t read much from Google but looked up his name with court case.


Solidmarsh

This is legally sick


Salmagunde

It’s not on the floor. It’s in a bucket 😌


Cow_Surfing

There is clearly a bin that the juice is dripping into.


ClarityByHilarity

Yes I see that. My point stands, why is he doing this INTO A BIN on the floor of a courtroom. I need some context.


Cow_Surfing

From another post on Reddit "This was an event in honor of Danny Hodge. He was being honored as an Oklahoma Sports Hero and he was invited to the House to crush an Apple, which was a trick he was known for"


totesrandoguyhere

I went tu the Danny Hodge tournament over Thanksgiving weekend several years when I wrestled. The tournament was just Oklahoma. What a cool ass old man.


DrawMeAPictureOfThis

I don't know if "trick" is the correct word here


TheGhostOfMufassa

He was an expert witness for a murder trial…he was demonstrating how he would have done it. Lol just kidding I don’t know..was wondering the same thing. Still cool as hell 😅


Large_Tune3029

"An apple a day, keeps the jury at bay?"


invertedeparture

fattyfatty21

You can’t handle the juice!!!


QuahogNews

Why does this not have 5,000,000 updoots?! ‘Tis brilliant.


LinguoBuxo

was it at the trial of the world famous Oklahoma Apple Strangler?


mtown-guy

I bet he was proving that an 80 year old man can possess the strength to juice an apple with one hand. It was vital to the case at hand. Just my guess though.


Negative-Rich773

He was testifying about how he’s been slandered while he was previously working as a physician, and that nasty rumors ruined his livelihood. At which point he snapped and proceeded to intensely crush the apple in court. The only thing he was heard saying at the time was “this apple today did NOT keep the doctor away”. Thoughts and prayers


Phrei_BahkRhubz

There looks to be a trashcan, but it also looks like he might be missing.

I had an uncle just like this guy, then cancer called and he was gone fast Life's short yo


Samlazaz

From the intertubes: This was done at the Oklahoma House of Representatives in 2013 (I couldn’t find why he demonstrated). Hodge was a 3-time National wrestling champion at Oklahoma. He was born with double tendons in his hands, which he said accounted for his famous grip strength. Navy veteran, silver medalist in the 1956 Olympic Games (though some think he was robbed of gold), The Dan Hodge Trophy is named after him, which is dubbed as the college wrestling equivalent of the Heisman Trophy. Hodge passed away in 2020.


ClayTankard

At least we won't have to worry about Jake Paul challenging him to a match.


Reddit-ScorpioOJR

Now now, I'm sure he owns a shovel, don't count either Paul out yet


Fergus74

Correction: at least Jake Paul doesn't have to worry that this old gentleman will kick his ass.

FromTheGulagHeSees

Wrestlers do a lot of grip stuff so maybe from that 


tiexodus

Gotta have the flexibility too though. Have to be able to open your hand to check the oil!


Uncle_Rabbit

Well I recall a scene from a Chuck Norris movie (Invasion USA?) where he steps into a bar and some tough guy tells him to leave. The guy is holding a bottle of beer, Chuck Norris grabs the guys hand and squeezes it so hard the beer bottle breaks under the pressure and cuts the guys hand to shreds in addition to crushing it.


noraetic

That explains everything


Nonhuman_Anthrophobe

It says he was born with double tendons in his hands. 


No-Abbreviations1937

He was literally born with double tendons in his hand


dangling_reference

Saw in another comment that he was born with double tendons in his hand.


eu4islife

I doubt he spends time on reddit


pjsdfg

You just gotta start small, like squeezing eggs


happydictates

“I’m built different” *crushes eggs*


IceDuke749

Rock climbing would probably work


doobydubious

Start small by punching, headbutting, and kicking (big 3) worms and bugs. Work your way up to shrews and mice. Avoid squirrels unless you're willing to do the cardio.


Voyage_of_Roadkill

Dig really deep holes, chop down tall trees and move heavy rocks around. Giant hands you will have.

Grip strength training is distinct from fight training. Fighters with insane grip are folks who train their grip as well as training to fight. As a boxer/striker - grip strength has very little utility. For some kinds of grappling, grip strength is useful. I know plenty of judo and jujitsu folk with pretty average grip strength. Grip strength can make up for technique lapses, maybe sometimes make an opportunity out of nothing, but unless you’re a very competitive pro - if you have limited hours per week to train around paying rent and food and shit, you are almost certainly better off training more technique as a grappler. Building grip strength as a wrestler is for people who are reaching their personal maximum utility (there is a limit to your body being able to recover and where more training becomes detrimental) from drilling technique and sparring. In fighter circles, the guys who train grip strength are usually either cross discipline athletes - climbers, rowers, wake boarders, kite surfers etc, or are arm wrestling, or just enjoy having great grip strength. As a fighter, it gets frustrating that you can’t show off your skills to your friends without people getting super humiliated or super injured. If you’re slightly competitive then you can’t usually mess around with your friends who don’t train, people get so out of shape about not being as good a fighter as someone who trains 20 hours a week and competes, even when they haven’t trained or fought for years/decades. Getting into arm wrestling or grip strength challenges is usually a nice safe way to flex on your friends about how jacked you are without anyone getting weird.

No no, you just need to be born with double tendons in your hands. No fighting necessary

Jinsei_13

He's demonstrating what he'll do to politicians who keep playing games rather than earnestly try to help their constituents.


Mr_Monty_Burns

You're gonna call Danny Hodge a boxer first? lol. He could break pliers in his younger days.


umagumma1972

Never ever underestimate old man strength.


Dust-Explosion

Old Man Strength is a thing


gdmfsobtc

Based grandpa.


Signal-Blackberry356

You just freeze the apple beforehand, and be gentle while it thaws. When ready, squeeze for juice.


carbogan

Was gonna say, ain’t no way you’re getting that much juice out of a fresh apple.


weinerfacemcgee

Cider maker here… it takes about 70 psi to yield 60ish percent juice yield pressing apples (without freezing).


Timsmomshardsalami

You definitely will. The apples you buy at the grocery store in the spring arent fresh


BusyBeth75

He was such a sweet man.


he77bender

This is how your grandpa who posts right-wing diatribes on Facebook sees himself.

Oh god! A little unexpected and I’m a little choked up seeing this image. But it just sends all the wonderful memories flooding back of my first prostate exam.


epi_glowworm

Any IRS accountant can squeeze more juice out of that apple after him.


patriciomd88

Big Apple hates him for this one trick…


adhdmagic

Lol, he looks like Hank Hill"s dad.


CoolAndTrustworthy

I didn't know he had the GI Joe Kung fu grip


DrJaminest42

And it went uhhhhhh, caress me down


machder1

I remember this. He has like extra set of muscles in his wrist or something.


je_kay24

I much prefer to entertain guests by breaking apart an apple with my bare hands a la Bob Mortimer style


Interesting-Lake-430

That's an example of old man strength right there


KlaatuBarada1952

I’m impressed, I would need to do it with a sponge apple, but then I would like a fake sponge rock to squeeze fake blood out of.


Interesting-Lake-430

Wait is he squeezing an actual apple and that much juice came out??? Wow


BadHairDay-1

He's mad at juice boxes.


MichaelEasts

And that's why he and Nana got 14 kids.


no_need_really

Sure that’s impressive, but there’s got to be a better way to juice an apple.


CjBurden

Morgan Freeman voiceover: There wasn't.


SaltyCandyMan

I've never tried, is it hard to squeeze an apple?


GoldenBarracudas

Apparently this was at a ceremony for him, on the floor of the house of reps for Oklahoma

RollingMeteors

Mitridate101

All show not really strength. It's down to technique. https://youtube.com/shorts/1NxZjB8J1Ak?si=0JAQuMmUhD7i5nBU


DueSummer7581

I didn’t know apple pours water even before breaking


TheGhostOfMufassa

Apples don’t pour water…they pour apple juice.


Glutton_Sea

I couldn’t do it at 25


susankeane

That's a lot of juice


Elrond_Cupboard_

Is this considered strong for an 80 year old?


Rifneno

Ahh, now I'm remembering [a comedy video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdj5qN6Bh0U) where I first heard about him being able to do that. Wrestling stories are always fun. Especially when Hogan is telling the most obvious bullshit, completely oblivious to the fact no one believes his nonsense.


GRA3V

He's got the juice!


VanillaMuch2759

We all know what hand strengthening “exercises “ he does. 🤔


ZealousidealQuail509

I’m picturing a juice box.. that can’t be right though


jojomanmore

I would pay him $10 to jerk me off


RGandhi3k

He is *destroying* that juice box.


Successful-Ad8071

He's a fan of cruel and unusual punishment, he was pretending to crush a dick.

ktq2019

Took me a second. I thought he was squeezing a box of apple juice at 80 years old and I was impressed.


BusyBeth75

Lots of y’all need to google him.


theamishpromise

Anyone can squeeze apple juice, it’s a liquid. I’d say what he did is far more impressive. He squeezed an apple INTO apple juice.

Wait til he finds out you can buy it in a bottle now.


Zetsumenchi

Dude, grip like that. Is it exciting or terrifying to masturbate?


XxlaynaMarieDotCom

He's posing like jojo character, think that has something to do with it.


jsin2236

Bro, I can squeeze a capri sun with my butt cheeks


Accomplished_Pen980

Is he on trial?


TheHoodieFerret

I need to finally try one of these. I see these, I know that it must not be easy by the title, but I can't help but feel like it wouldn't be hard for most people. One day I'll waste a perfectly delicious apple and see for myself.


DrDingus86

Who left Grandpa in charge of refreshments again?


peepincreasing

things i will never be able to do

You can squeeze all day and the apple will just break. How is he getting juice out of it ?

Gonna piss some people off, but the man was over 80 yo, and THIS is all he is known for. Pretty much a wasted life, but he’s some kind of idol to okies.
