I watched a few of his videos after this one, he lost like 80 lbs between then and his newest videos.
And knowing his battle with gravity, dude has stainless steel balls for even trying that ramp.
I can’t watch Eddie Hall at all. Absolutely terrible.
I could push press 110kg for a few reps.
I struggle to press an 80kg keg.
Odd objects are not just harder. They are unreasonably more difficult.
Yeah, he’s a fun guy. Seems to get along with everyone. No way I’m trying a vert ramp after a day of training, even with half his weight and probably more time on a skateboard during my life.
Yeah. I could say a lot more, but there’s just no need to - this sums it up nicely.
agreed. A seated leg curl is soooooo much better
They have different advantages. You can load the stretched position a lot in the seated leg curl, which is great, but most people’s problems with lying leg curls are that the first instinct anyone has is to go into lumbar extension when a rep is hard. You have to tuck your hips under you during all the reps - you’ll immediately feel the tension go onto your hamstrings much better. I think we talked about keeping your hips tucked during ab wheels - this is the same thing, the minute you let your back arch (and it’s really tough to tell you’re even doing it while lying down on your stomach for leg curls) you’re messing it up.
I laughed way harder than I should have. I’m a bad person.
@flappinit I see…makes sense…although my problem with them is that I feel most of it in the hamstring tendon close to my knee when I start to fatigue. Maybe doing it the way you said will help.
I think smaller folks laugh at this because they don’t realize how much weighing greater than 250lbs changes one’s relationship with gravity.
I had to stop doing Judo because even though I knew how to fall correctly, it was just way too much with the repeated falls.
@cyclonengineer low key calling me small
Okay okay, I have no contentions. Fair is fair. Haha
Listen, I am 290, everyone is small.
Did someone say odd object pressing?!
Confession: just give me an excuse…
But seriously; keg pressing makes you whole body stupid strong.
I think it resolves itself. If I don’t do pull ups for several months, this happens to me for a few sessions unless I add weights.
Haha. I really am though. 5’9 153 lbs. Like a toothpick
I like leaving stupid statements on people’s training logs or anywhere on here really. Iykyk.
That is cool. Grace with a keg.
Who’s grace?
Grace is a WOD (work out of the day) from cross fit.
It an exercise at a prescribed weight for a prescribed number of reps timed.
Normally it is 60kg clean and jerk - 30 reps.
But dear Pwn used a keg. Brutal.
Where did you get that keg from - it looks like it is purpose built training keg. Is it plate loadable
Today is testing day. Just failed my attempt at 100kg.
I’m so pissed because I actually took a deload week this time and felt so good coming in.
Two weeks ago, I hit 95kg only 2 days after a high volume deadlift workout, which was proceeded two days before that by a high volume squat workout
My knees aren’t sore for the first time in at least 3 months
Edit: JUST HIT IT!!! I CAN SQUAT 2 PLATES!!!
I haven’t eaten cereal in awhile ever since starting Deep Water. I do not miss eating cereal. It’s such a depressing choice of food in the morning in my opinion.
Eating anything I want for breakfast makes my day start out fun.
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ANNA STRONGGGGGGGGGG
