Jack LaLannes Amazing Feats


Jack was known not only for his TV show, but for amazing the world with feats of great physical prowess.

Jack's incredible feats as reported on Jack LaLanne's web site:

1954 (age 40): swam the entire length of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, underwater, with 140 pounds (64 kg; 10 st) of equipment, including two air tanks. A world record.



1955 (age 41): swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco while handcuffed. When interviewed afterwards he was quoted as saying that the worst thing about the ordeal was being handcuffed, which reduced his chance to Star Jump significantly.



1956 (age 42): set a world record of 1,033 push-ups in 23 minutes on You Asked For It, a television program with Art Baker.



1957 (age 43): swam the Golden Gate channel while towing a 2,500-pound (1,100 kg; 180 st) cabin cruiser. The swift ocean currents turned this one-mile (1.6 km) swim into a swimming distance of 6.5 miles (10.5 km).



1958 (age 44): maneuvered a paddleboard nonstop from Farallon Islands to the San Francisco shore. The 30-mile (48 km) trip took 9.5 hours.



1959 (age 45): did 1,000 star jumps and 1,000 chin-ups in 1 hour, 22 minutes and The Jack LaLanne Show went nationwide.



1974 (age 60): For the second time, he swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman's Wharf. Again, he was handcuffed, but this time he was also shackled and towed a 1,000-pound (450 kg; 71 st) boat.



1975 (age 61): Repeating his performance of 21 years earlier, he again swam the entire length of the Golden Gate Bridge, underwater and handcuffed, but this time he was shackled and towed a 1,000-pound (450 kg; 71 st) boat.



1976 (age 62): To commemorate the "Spirit of '76", United States Bicentennial, he swam one mile (1.6 km) in Long Beach Harbor. He was handcuffed and shackled, and he towed 13 boats (representing the 13 original colonies) containing 76 people.



1979 (age 65): towed 65 boats in Lake Ashinoko, near Tokyo, Japan. He was handcuffed and shackled, and the boats were filled with 6,500 pounds (2,900 kg; 460 st) of Louisiana Pacific wood pulp.



1980 (age 66): towed 10 boats in North Miami, Florida. The boats carried 77 people, and he towed them for over one mile (1.6 km) in less than one hour.



1984 (age 70): Handcuffed, shackled and fighting strong winds and currents, towed 70 boats with 70 people from the Queen's Way Bridge in the Long Beach Harbor to the Queen Mary, 1 mile.

All those escapologists are pretty jacked/lean/strong.

Same with mime artists and clowns who do a lot of physical comedy.

Basically it's best not to fuck with circus people.

I got this book almost 50 years ago.  He was a fascinating guy and was an early film-maker.

When I was a kid I attended a magic show and got to know the magician.  He had known Mrs. Houdini, who held séances for ten years trying to contact her departed.

He had tons of energy.......as if he was a 20 year old kid.

He was known to do lots of bodyweight exercises along with intense stretching and deep breathing to make his escape tricks possible.

Yes he was known to be incredibly flexible.

Also, it was later revealed by those close to him that he deliberately worked big callouses onto the palms of his hands and the bottom of his feet where he would hide small pieces of lock picking kits and/or master keys that were broken down in to multiple parts that he would extract and reassemble while underwater or whatever to make his escape.  Even by today standards the dude was way ahead of his game.
