I have some additional photos of Mac archived somewhere. I'll post when I find them.

Many say Mac was undefeated in arm wrestling...true only if you consider overall matches. He was actually defeated once in a best "two out of three falls" type match. But I won't quibble about that...just relaying facts.

Key to the photos (as best as I can tell)

First photo is of a "lever pinch" or planche of a full beer bottle

2nd photo is crushing bottle caps between the fingers by closing fist. Try it sometime.

3rd Wrist or arm wrestling

4th This is either a set up photo showing the dime under the bottle cap cork that someone tried to trick Mac with (he bent the cap and dime!) OR it is Mac removing a bottle cap with a pinch grip. Regardless, both are impressive and extremely difficult feats

5 and 6 Deck of playing cards tear apart

7 "Fingerwalking" a full bottle of some type of booze. With finger strength alone, grip bottle at top, then walk fingers down the bottle (causing the bottle to rise) till you've reached the bottom of the bottle.

John Brookfield can do a similar feat with a 20 sledge hammer, using the fingertips of both hands.

Let's not forget my favorite, the one Joe Roark dredged up after Dave said he'd never met Mac:

Laree, my memory is not what it used to be- and it didn't used to be anything to brag about. I have asked my wife to wear an I.D. badge...

At a lighter weight but still

I've fallen in love with a new woman every day for the last five years.
Life's too short to worry about longevity.
