Curl. Press. Squat. Deadlift. Snatch. Clean and jerk. These are a few weightlifting feats in which to show your strength. In ancient Greece, Milo of Croton demonstrated his by lifting and carrying a calf every day. As the calf grew into a cow, Milo kept lugging that thing around town. In various prehistoric tribes, the traditional strongman test was to lift a special rock, appropriately dubbed a "manhood stone." The prize? Well... manhood, of course, but the first to lift it gets their name on it. Hey man, bet you can't pick up that rock.
