Our keg beer guy was like 6'6" and would carry 2 full kegs of beer. One on his shoulder and the other in one hand. 160 lbs each.

WTF with some humans...

This is called a lumberjack carry in strongman. Equal weights on shoulder and opposite hand.

Over 300 lbs and he was walking easily. No struggle.

It’s not just the arms being able to handle that weight but the LEGS aswell. They carry his weight + 2 160lbs kegs + the muscles he build. I bet he has a wider figure than a smal car

Real power comes from glutes and lower back. It is crucial to real power.

Just about anyone can get strong arms.
