In a bit of comedy, STRONGMAN tend to be weight droppers, and itās, once again, an advanced form of cheating.
If you slam the weights down REAL hard on a deadlift, you can actually dent the floor. Especially true if youāre pulling on a soft surface, like grass.
Since all competitors pull on the same rig, when you do this, you make it that the NEXT guy actually has to pull a larger ROM than you did, so you make the event more difficult for them.
Itās why a craft strongman NEVER asks if theyāre allowed to drop the weight on deads. They just do it until they are told to stop.

I am always amazed at how weird the human body is.
Apparently my dad has above normal levels of magnesium.
He basically lives off of stir fried pork and white rice (minimal veggies) and doesnāt take supplementsā¦
My mum eats far more veggies than him, supplements (she was deficient) and on her last check, sheās still deficient
I am convinced ānormalā ranges are generally BS.

When we factor in how poor health the average person is, maybe we should stop striving for normal.

I confess that every time I venture out beyond the training logs section, I realize just how much I donāt know about lifting.
I think I like being blissfully ignorant.

I confess that little old ladies walking their dogs and saying, āThatās damn impressive,ā while I do my Farmerās walk workouts in the driveway strokes my ego in a way that, if this thread were not flame-free, I would not admit to.

So I had an argument with my husband last week, and all of a sudden he comes out with āwhat, do you wish I was a tall bodybuilder?ā And I was completely floored. He asked it in the context of my asking if it bothers him that my job is so important to me, and did he wish heād married someone without a career. Butā¦A) heās 5ā9" and Iām under 5ā7", so while heās not TALL relative to me, itās a surprising thing to say, and B) while he knows about this place, Iāve never ever oozed on about bodybuilders, and nor do I feel that way. I find it attractive, sure, but heās got broad shoulders and moves boulders around. Heās older and not cut, but heās strong and capable, and thatās hot to me. Much more so than someone I know through the internet.
But anyway, I confess that the whole thing has left me completely bewildered. Heās known about TN since we were dating. Heās never once expressed jealously or insecurity in any direction.
WTF?

Have you been giving him the affection and words of affirmation he (might) want?
Hell maybe he just had a bad day

Re: Battery woes
For anyone who cares, my battery was replaced today for the first time ever, and it is rejuvenating to not have to charge my laptop all the time. The repair shop near me is great. They finished within hours, way sooner than expected. Iām glad I paid extra for the peace of mind.
