This is fairly easy to accomplish for someone who is athletic and is used to doing strength training. But Kessler isn\u2019t that type of person. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/top-10-us-poker-sites\">American poker<\/a> pro, known by his moniker \u201c<em>Chainsaw<\/em>\u201c, admitted he has never been to a gym and doesn\u2019t even know what bench press is. Reacting to Burr\u2019s challenge, Kessler, who has more than $3.8 million in total live cashes, said he has a \u201c<em>horrible<\/em>\u201d diet and doesn\u2019t exercise at all. This confession led several members of the poker community to believe Kessler would not be able to pull it off.<\/p>\n<p>But it wouldn\u2019t be that easy for Burr either, according to other commenters. One Twitter user said <strong>bench-pressing 100 lbs. in a single time is much easier to achieve than eating 100 chicken nuggets in one hour<\/strong> \u2013 that\u2019s regardless if you\u2019ve
