Weird, but impressive

Manlet master race. Tall is just for reaching top shelf and long running stride and running is cardio so anti gains.

insert penis joke here

Do you prefer 8 inches or 9.5?

But that’s good though… right?

@guineapig You’d have to ask your other half.

Lol, ā€œrealā€ as in I picked up something from the floor that weighed more than 80 kilo. I am well aware that some of you guys think sumo are cheating. Which is often followed up with ā€œā€¦but I can’t do them at all because of XYZā€. Maybe regular deadlifts are cheating?

My ROM on sumo is more or less the same as conventional anyway, I don’t spread out too far. I just like bringing my arms inside my knees, puts my very brittle spine in a better position.

Said is above average for a proficient sumo puller. There’s a bunch who don’t maximise their leverages

Sumo is cheating squared because it’s not allowed in strongman, which is a sport about lifting weight in a cheaty way.

And yet it is allowed in powerlifting, which is a sport about lifting in a non-cheaty way. I don’t care either way because I will never compete in either, just an interesting contradiction.

I find it ironic that the ā€œsport of cheatersā€ is dominated by talk of getting stronger whereas the ā€œsport of strengthā€ is dominated by talk of leverages and ROM and gear.

Which is another way of saying that everyone is kinda full of crap. It’s human nature, probably. Unless you are competing, it amounts to exactly jack and shit. Just lift heavy stuff, who cares.

For sure. I mean, how many of us started lifting with the goal of pulling 500lbs on a very specific bar, set to a fairly random height while wearing exactly the right combination of supportive gear, but only with a very specific technique?

I started lifting to get big strong and sexy(er), and I’m pretty sure I can do that with either deadlift style. Or neither.

Front squats still objectively suck though.

Front Squats suck every dick ever. The entire world agrees.

Otherwise it is all just a bunch of arbitrary measures of strength.

That 99% of the population give zero shits about and don’t understand.

How’s that working for you :wink:

Well I’m stronger, ~40lbs smaller but I’ve managed to get even sexier. So 2 out of 3. I’m reliably told 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

If you ticked the others then you are deff sexier.

No homo, of course.

Thanks man

Okay guys, for fun, since this article just popped back up on the front page.

Can you do them all? No proof needed, just another interesting conversation. I am guessing all of us can do all or nearly all of them?
