How Rare is a 32 kg Kettlebell Press?

Pavel Tsatsouline has stated that the moment a two pood kettlebell (i.e., 32 kg) was first being pressed overhead was the point at which boys became men in many parts of Soviet Russia (and indeed, even until today). Amongst the male population in general (or male gym goers), how many people do you think are capable of doing this?

For reference, I've simultaneously heard that it's quite advanced (i.e., far less than 10% of the male lifting population being capable) or not too impressive at all such that it's basically a given for active people.

Is Baki with Jack's Steroids and Leg Lengthening Above Yujiro?

Let's be honest. Jack Hanma, when you take away his steroids alongside his heightmaxxing surgeries, is just a frail, 100 lbs bag of skin and bones. The only reason he is relevant is due to external help.

If we were to give Baki the same enhancements, would he become stronger than his father? (Especially when he already successfully dealt some decent damage to Yujiro the last time they fought...?)

Bon Cop, Bad Cop TV Series

Bonjour à tous, à toutes, et à toustes,

Has anyone seen the recent Bon Cop, Bad Cop television series on Crave? I've enjoyed the first couple episodes for what they were but the series really is entering into a super saturated market of police/crime thrillers.

How have people found the show so far?

Before you start getting on my ass, yes - it was an M7/T10 MBA program. Weirdoes.

Looking back: it was probably my fault for choosing an MBA as opposed to an MA or an MSc due to my not having as much experience as most of my cohort upon entering my MBA program. Unfortunately, upon graduation, I had to return to my home country (i.e., not the USA) as I couldn't get interviews aside from a small handful (<5 interviews in my final year). My school's career office also wasn't particularly helpful (i.e., by claiming that, despite my CV being good, it was a tough market so there really wasn't much aside from not giving up, etc.).

At a certain point, as finances were running low, I had to settle for a job I could have gotten shortly after my undergraduate studies. The pay was abysmal, and I'm constantly embarassed by my outcome but am trying to make peace with it.

Despite solid performance, my salary hasn't increased by much due to market-related issues.

If you don't have much experience (at least 3 years to be safe), please do not do an MBA.

At the present point in the manga, do you think that Baki surpasses his father in any martial capacity? I mean, he probably loses in strength/durability but does he have any edge whatsoever in quickness, agility, Battle IQ, versatility, etc.? Or does Yujiro simply surpass him in every aspect?
