Steps You Can Take When Ripping Phonebooks In Half
There are a number of impressive feats you can accomplish displaying strength and ripping phonebooks in half is one of them. What many people do not realize is you do not necessarily have to be muscle man to rip one in half. Here are a few steps to take to accomplish this feat.
To start, you want to hold a phonebook by the corners and place the bottom of the book against your hip. You want to have your thumbs pressing the center of the book with your forefingers pointing away from the book.
Next, apply pressure to the center of the book with your thumbs creating a valley shape in the book halfway between the binding and the open edge. From there, squeeze the phonebook together keeping a tight grip on both sides. This is going to create a crease running directly down the center.
You will then grip the book as tightly as you can while rotating your hands. This will end up ripping the book in half just like if you were breaking a stick in half. If you are muscle man, the book will rip in half. If you are not quite as strong, you will need to take one more step to finish ripping phonebooks in half.
The last step involves you pinning one half of the book to your hip and upper thigh. You will then life the other half towards your chest maintaining a great deal of tension on the phonebook. The result will be the book finishing ripping in half.
