Well, I guess he did inherit a bit of his dad's strength

The only thing that’s inaccurate about the scene is the fact that Sheldon is touching Raj’s hand without any care for hygiene.

Okay, it’s a stalemate. 😂🤣

At first I also couldn’t believe Sheldon was stronger than Raj then I remembered he grew up in Texas. Nerd Sheldon maybe but with an older brother and a tough twin sister not to mention attending high school and college while still a child that had to have toughened him up

RomaroBrandon - absolutely false that Raj looks physically stronger than Sheldon. First, Parsons is way taller and actually has nice muscles - we have seen it on the show. There is this one scene in later seasons (I don't remember the exact episode now) when Amy is giving Sheldon a shot (some vaccine or smth), and Sheldon is sitting in her lab, with the sleeve rolled up right over his shoulder so that his muscles and biceps are clearly visible, and they're quite nice, well-shaped. Parsons was also quite athletic in real life, for example, he played basketball all his life, and he said in the interview that he had trouble acting like he was awful at basketball in the episode when Kripke and Sheldon are 'fighting' over Amy, competing in various sports, among others, playing basketball. So Sheldon is and looks way stronger than Raj. Sheldon is from a physically strong family, with athletic talents, and so it doesn't matter that Sheldon is a nerd because he inherited, clearly, some of his dad's athletic strength, so it makes sense. And he does look stronger than Raj, simply because the actor, Jim, actually is physically quite strong, and looks stronger than Kunal.

How could Sheldon not beat Raj at arm wrestling if Raj isn’t even half as strong as him?

Also known as Tressling...😂

The way leonard was staring when they were singing the bday song

Sheldon is secretly strong 😮😮

Next they should try chess boxing

The fact that even with both arms, raj couldn’t beat Sheldon still using just one arm.

so what's the win condition?

Neither one works out, but Sheldon's Texan DNA activates during overly masculine activities

I’d like to try that, but I’d lose in the arm wrestling part.

Of course Sheldon is stronger his from TEXAS

Wow Sheldon actually admitted he was loosing at something

I swear sheldon might be a robot, not showing any strains

When the show was creative and actually had heart

I refuse to believe Sheldon, as smart as he is, is not kicking Raj's ass at Tetris. Unless Sheldon's game is constantly giving him L pieces, I don't see why Sheldon could be losing

Man season 1 and early seasons are so good, I still rewatch it after so many years. Later seasons are mostly garbage about dating.

I can’t tell if penny is really strong or raj is weak because penny casually beat Sheldon in that one episode

How could Sheldon lose at Tetris?! I can easily see him being 4-5 steps ahead.

I can't believe Sheldon is stronger than anybody 😭😭

I remember in the early episode of season 1, Sheldon and Leonard tried to take Penny's heavy furniture up to her apartment. In that episode, Sheldon stated that their upper body don't have that much strength. So if Sheldon is stronger than Raj, I can't imagine how weak Raj is. 😂😂

There is actually a technique to arm wrestling, it’s not physical strength that matters… at least not as much as people think it does.

yeah, the creators of the show really don't know anything about arm wrestling...or tetris...or nerds.

Should've been the other way round, Sheldon beats Raj at the mental game but loses physically. Makes more sense..

Isn’t Sheldon germaphobe

Should be te other way around.

They were very rude to be being loud on that kids birthday
