For more reference how insane 700W is, the average FTP of a world tour pro road cyclist (i.e., Tour de France) is ~350-420W/6-7W/kg. FTP (Functional Threshold Power) being the avg you can sustain for an hour without fatiguing.
My own is ~250W @ 3.12W/kg. I can't even hit 700W yet, let alone for over a minute. My 5 second power is ~640W.
Crazy numbers.
A trained powerlifter probably exerts a few kW on a heavy lift, but only for a second or two.
~3000 watts for 0.75 seconds (not counting pauses)
Can you still touch your toes? I doubt Robert could... hopefully your own practice leaves you more balanced.
Haha, yes. Track cyclists are a different breed.

Lost the opportunity to say "bread".
