ALMOST THERE!!!! Still lacking control and stamina to stay in position, but I'm officially the strongest I've ever been. I had been close to this, which I believe is a pinnacle strength skill, in 1996; but then suffered a neck injury in Sambo which caused nerve impingement draining me of 80% of my left arm strength. Then, I got hit badly with MRSA two years ago, while grappling on the mats - losing 35lbs of muscle. Finally, I've exceeded that 96 strength, and as long as I keep it incremental, I don't see any obstacles from nailing the one-arm lever with control in a few weeks.
