Why aren't you training strongman?
Fat.
>>77126534It's okay if you're fat, strongman training can be a great way to lose weight too!
Looks fun. First poster is probably brown
I'm too smart and pretty to waste my life on that shit.
>>77126514Because I’m not a fatass and nor do I want to be a fatass.
There's a 50/50 chance I throw my back out pulling 225 for 10. Also powershitters aren't healthy lol I'd hate to have that body.
>>77126514I trained in a powerlifting gym for 6 years throughout my 20's. Got some big lifts, hit some big numbers, and hurt myself a lot. I realized it's not worth it for me. Now I train on what benefits me in my daily blue collar life. Cardio, flexibility, a healthy back, endurance. We have machines to lift the heavy things. >inb4 rapeGun.
>>77126630>lol I'd hate to have that body.
>>77126647he looks like a fat short chevy chase
>>77126647This is what women mean when they say they like dad bod
>>77126638>Now I train on what benefits me in my daily blue collar life. Cardio, flexibility, a healthy back, endurance. We have machines to lift the heavy thingsAll the older lifters think the same way. A lot of younger guys would be ahead of the curve if they trained like you. But they won't lol.
>>77126863>short
>>77126514>fat>shit ton of roids>can't even beat almost natural olympic weightlifterswhat's the point?
>>77126934>olympic weightliftersThey do shit on Fatmen and Powerbrappers
>>77126647>roiding for this
>>77126889If you aren't 6'5+ you're short. Sorry, little buddy.
>>77127163
>>77126647/vt/ confirmed 5xl and steriods
>>77127179I am not on steroids
>>77126514Because im training to be a strongwoman
>>77127247says who?
>>77126647Yes, correct.
>>77126514I do. But I also train calisthenics, body building, weightlifting, and cardio.
>>77126514Because you have to take a shit ton of roids and do a bunch of work and you just look like shit.Just do pilates or lift weights like a normie.
>>77126647He would look good if he lost 100 lbs, but as is he is way too fat. That does not look good and he likely had to take drugs to get that physique which is sad.
I don't really like loaded carries that much. It is cool though. More technical than people think. If you are under 200lbs might as well do crossfit or hyrox though.
>>77126514>strongmancant do a pullup
This used to be circus freak stuff because only freaks would do it, it was seen the same way being a clown was.Also you die when you do this.
>>77126514Why do you use such a wide stance for deadlift?
>>77127501Huge balls
>>77126514not gay
>>77127524but he can run a heavy sandbag across the room?
>>77127501I find it's better for 13" because the height robs leg drive so wide stance incorporates more hip power. It's also harder to bring feet closer in a deadlift suit since I strap in from a sumo stance and step in.
>>77126514Forced to wage slave.
>>77126514lolfat.
>>77127605>>77127360>>77126934>>77126863>>77126618
>>77126884They need to borderline cripple themselves 10 times before they learn like we all do. They'll get there eventually.
>>77127559>run
>>77126514Only thing he should carry is a hair piece
>>77126514Bc I dont vote dem
>>77128438I thought you were going to fuck that little asian twink for a second. You post that and Ill start strongman training.
>>77126514I have far more respect for strongman than power"lifting"
>>77126514I train to look like I actually lift weight anon.
>>77126514I'm literal a goblin (48kg) I can't get stronk or gain weight even if I tried + I'm lazy
I did and then covid caused the gym to shut down. I kinda miss it.
>>77129053rather preen like a fag than work hard, I understand
>>77126647What’s the link to your twitch and vod you did this in?
>>77129442slagr1, the vod is over 30 days old and expired
>>77126514>destroy your body to accomplish some very niche lift that you will never use in real life
>>77129639carrying a sandbag is the absolute most practical and useful lift you can possibly train
>>77129425I work hard, and I look good for my effort. You just look like a retarded dyel fatass kekaroo!!
>>77127170>>77127247stop posting anime girls you fkn weirdo
>>77129639Who the fuck trains muscles for real-life usage? Even blue collar retards dont do that
>>77129295>48kgholy shit, I know thin women that weigh more than that
>>77126514im focusing on weakman
>>77126514I want to be a himbo doll, not a fucking gorilla
>>77126514 what for? if ure not making money with it, exerting urself to such extremes is unhealthy and very time consuming, also u need specific gear. Ppl should be fit and healthy, strongman are just modern day circus entertainment, but if u dont get paid, u re just a sad clown
I don't train strongman but I definitely isolate my traps ever since I started getting "serious" about my traps I feel like Bane it makes a big difference for me.
>>77129636Thanks for the answer. It’s crap that the vods don’t stay forever like on YouTube.
>>77130502low iq on display
>>77126514I dont like the aesthetic of strongman.
I carried 15 lb dumbells on the incline treadmill, is that strong man?
>>77129909anime website
>>77126624Bro just have a healthy calorie intake. Your routine doesn't make you fat, the food makes you fat
>>77126514>Why aren't you training strongman?I don't want to wear out my joints and spine and look fat while doing it.
>>77126514I like having no pains in my day to day life, as well as healthy joints to get in weird positions needed for my j*b.
Cringe
>>77127247>have the exact same look as roiding stronmen>is not on steroidsRight...
>>771341015XL
Train like a powershitter, look like a powershitterTrain like a bodybuilder, look like a bodybuilder
High risk, low reward. I'm here to stay healthy and look good. Anything beyond that is vanity
>>77126514Because I want to>1) Be reasonably strong>2) Look good>3) Live long>strongmanNo one ever needs to be this strong, even many scenarios where something bad happened so some so and so went into some kind of beast mode to save somebody won't reach the levels of weight these chunky lardasses lift. No strongman looks good, in fact, none of them even look handsome or rugged like uggo dudes can sometimes. No all strongmen have fat chubby baby faces and they all have crippling injuries by the time they're retirement age.
>>77134203>here to stay healthy and look good>look good>Anything beyond that is vanity>look good>vanityAsk me how I known you're retarded.
>>77126647Just looks fat with shirt kn
>>77134210Looking good improves your entire life. Better prospects in career and dating, more charitable perception, people are kinder and friendlier which all also leads to more confidence, which increase those things even more. And so forth, even from a pragmatic perspective it's not vanity
>>77126514Would love too, because it looks like tons of fun. But i don't have a strongman gym near me, so I just can do compound barbell lifts at a regular gym.Btw why is everyone here acting like training strongman style means like a professional roided out strongman. No one will think of Mr. Olympia guys when someone here posts he does bodybuilding
>>77134457>Btw why is everyone here acting like training strongman style means like a professional roided out strongman. No one will think of Mr. Olympia guys when someone here posts he does bodybuildingOP here, and having just visited the Arnold Expo for the first time, I can confidently say that it is because the majority of the fitness community is skinny teenagers who think wearing YoungLA, drinking the latest energy drink flavors and influencing on tiktok are more important than actually lifting weights.
>>77126514>you get to do all the work sweat aaaall the sweat and bleed aaall the blood without ever looking good feeling good nor light nor ever getting the admiration and or recognition of both healthy body and healthy mind reflected outwardNo thank you, i will lean out to 10% bodyfat, maingain and coast through life at around 13 to 15 with the amount of mass i wish to see on me. You do you but consider that you might be worth it to yourself to be beautiful instead of ugly and stubborn
>>77126647>huge pertruding gut>fat fuck titties>those fucking hangy fat fuck armsI do not wish for my enemy to fall into dispair far enough to think and actually pursue that sort of despicable body. I take pity on that poor chap
>>77126514honestly i feel like i should be doing some sandbag exercises or just trying to handle bulky, cumbersome objects. theres probably a lot of small muscles im not hitting doing traditional workouts.
>>77126514I don't want to be fat
I have lower back issues so I don't want to load my spine with huge amounts of weight and end up a cripple
>>77135381>OP here, and having just visited the Arnold Expo for the first time,Did you notice that not only the strongmen, but the strongman crew all have identical 375lb bodies
>>77135579ironic because doing that is the only thing that can fix your back but you have identified yourself as the bad back guy so you'll never actually fix your back
>>77135720You're too opinionatedYou can't regenerate a bad disk. I could deadlift or barbell squat if I wanted to, but I prefer to avoid unnecessary risk and I don't even like those movementsInstead I do hyper-extensions and strengthen my core and glutes
>>77135614except that isn't true
>>77126870fuck no that's ugly as fuck>t. foid
>>77126534We know you are then we aren't you strongman?
mirin
>>77126514That's literally me coming home from Costco. 600lb sack of walnuts. 275 gal. tote of avocado oil. 23 rotisserie chickens. A 55 gal drum of bread flour. A hot dog.
>>77136923I was famished after today's workout at noon. No breakfast no lunch. Preworkout. then training that kicked my ass as I am going from 3 to 4 sets. Go to Costco, so hungry now. Get hot dog and drop it. :( This was Odin's signal to me that we do not fuel a Aryan with a $1:50 of nitrates and pig entrails. They offered me another but I refused. Went home has protein shake. Now going to attack chicken.
>>77126630225lb or kg?
>>77126514What is the purpose of being a strongman in this day and age? You put in all that effort just to look like shit and you will never be able to use that strength in any situation in every day life
>>77138277>you will never be able to use that strength in any situation in every day lifeWhy do retards say this? You can't think of a situation where the ability to lift and move heavy objects might be useful? What's the use case for abs and big biceps?
>>77136839You're a man btw
>>77138300This retarded ass nigga conveniently leaving out every part of the post that proves his moronic brain wrong lmao
>>77138310huh?
>>77136611>except that isn't true>um actually one of them is only 374 pounds
>>77138374Austin Andrade and Mitch Hooper are not remotely the same size or shape
>>77138376>Austin Andrade and Mitch Hooper are not remotely the same size or shape>one guy is only 30% body fat
>>77138385I'm not sure who you're trying to impress with these posts. They just make you look stupid.
>>77138410>I'm not sure who you're trying to impress with these posts. They just make you look stupid.>what is hyperbole?>what is humor?Fact is I've watched strongman for 30 years and I was suprised how fucking round they all were at Arnold, so suck a dick.

>>77126514why are they so fat?
>>77126514>Why aren't you training strongman?My spine is the equivalent of a tube sock full of crushed stone.
>>77126514I don't have the access to or ability to craft the equipment plz no bully
>>77139289this seems like a reasonable excuse however boulders in the woods are free
>>77126514why do they get fat? fat helps with strength?
>>77141059cutting fat necessarily cuts muscle mass too, so to preserve maximal muscle you have to keep some fat on. It's also helpful to have higher body mass in general for some events. Also cutting reduces glycogen stores and dries out connective tissue making you gas out faster on moving events or cause injury on heavy events.
I can always respect raw functional strength but my hatred for fatness runs so deep that it always bugs me when people look like this even if they are strong. It's like the Westside Barbell guys are all crazy proven strong but their appearance is just so foul I lose respect for the entire sport. It also doesn't help that there are people like Tom Haviland that proves that it's unnecessary to be a disgusting slob to be strong, even if he is some kind of freak of nature and not the norm.
>>77141628>it's unnecessary to be a disgusting slob to be strong,Everyone who says this is a drooling retard who can't tell the difference between Boogie and Eddie Hall. Pretty much every sport that benefits from higher bodyweight tends to have athletes with higher bodyfat. Football, shotput, wrestling, sumo, etc. Athletes in these sports aren't fat because they lack self control, it's an intentional body composition choice, and they are perfectly capable of cutting down after changing goals. Pic related, right is nowhere near capable of performing at the level of left in strongman.
>>77136839tits or gtfo
>>77142109they won't respond to this
>>77142109It's obviously true looking at the Arnold this year; they wouldn't all look like they swallowed the great pumpkin if it didn't help. I just think maybe they should have body fat % classes because it isn't worth it to hope to be the lucky world champion who gets a $500 Rogue gift certificate.>inb4 actually the grand prize is $2000 or some shitIt's not $10mil/year like a football player or anything.
>>77143485They have lightweight classes but nobody cares. You didn't even know it existed. Grand prize for the pro Arnold Classic was like $80k.
>>77143552>Grand prize for the pro Arnold Classic was like $80k.That is a lot of pepperoni pizza casserole.
>>77143472Operation Tactical BTFO fat asses.
>>77143472This fucking slob.
>>77134137Dude probably gets pussy given to him on a menu
>>77144572I dare you to ask ten women if they prefer that guy or OP
>>77144544>Tom Haviland>Mariusz Pudzianowskiok, any other examples? They would both get smoked by the modern top 10 "fat" guys anyway
>>77126514I did for a little bit and was 350lbs at my peak, but I strained my back and was out of commission for like two months and I realized I didn't want to risk a permanent injury. At the same time, I became more nutritionally conscious and figured that eating 6k+ calories and whey protein laced with heavy metals wasn't sustainable.The reason why I did it at all is because I was hyped up and thought about possibly getting sponsored, so unless you want to go pro, there is no purpose and it's just not sustainable.
>>77126514>Why aren't you training strongman?I'm confident in myself.
>>77135741>You can't regenerate a bad diskYoure a fucking retard with 0 knowledge of the subject
id rather be able to stand and walk all day at the least
>>77144682Why do you think being able to carry hundreds of pounds across a room in seconds means you're not able to stand or walk all day? Are you stupid?
>>77144687shut up nigger
>>77144687>strongman>able to stand or walk all day
>>77126514Because its an absolutely pointless style of training for anyone who isn't competing in competitions, and I don't want to compete in competitions. I exercise to not be fat, be healthy, and look good. Why would I ever bother training in a style that makes me look fat and destroys my joints?
>>77144607i dare you to see what the same 10 women do in person
>they dont know simon can only get turned on from cartoon foxes
>>77144678First off, why are you so mad? Do you have a hormonal unbalance?Second, explain to us how you can regenerate a worn disk
>>77126538How can pic related gymnast be so strong while she isn't even losing a single one of her 200 pounds of fat?
>>77126647>I could cut and look way better at any time, I just don't want tois how he copes
>>77144782How? The body can regenerate it, its just how it is you fucking retard. The disinfo here is astounding
Strongman is just BJJ for fat people. Insecure fags who either weren’t athletes or were losers in other arenas participate in these activities.
>>77144687Confucius say if you try to push yourself into the ground every day, eventually you no move
>>77144972so you don't lift, why are you on /fit/? Let me guess, you just do pullups and pushups to get girls.
>>77145292Lifting isn't permabulking and trying to max deadlift. There's a thing called nuance and you should read some fucking books or something before trying to use language with other people.
>>77126514Because the base of strength is built with bodybuilding-type training, just for torso/legs instead of arms, and strongman movements are just exhibiting strength, same as powerlifting/oly. >>77138459They just like to eat and lift heavy stuff. They could just have some discipline but they go "mass moves mass haha" and overeat when they could be normal-ish bf% and still perform as well. I remember lean /plg/ trips like Virtus putting up same numbers as fatties.
>>77144946This is sorta correct if they dont compete but powerlifting comps are too autistic now and strongman is sorta backyard fun with the boys
>>77136938kek
>>77126514>Why aren't you training strongman?Because I don't want to look like that.
>>77145489If you don't know anything why do you post as if you do? Do you enjoy looking foolish?
>>77126514>why aren’t you training strongman?Bc I’m a bodybuilder and want longevity in the gym. Having said that, strong man is really cool and I have done periods of incorporating it into my routines, sometimes a lot. I used to watch worlds strongest man like 20 years ago and thought it was so cool to see guys deadlifting cars and pulling semi trucks, etc. It hurt just watching some guys try to get around the heaviest atlas stones and lift them. Coolest event I ever saw was when they recreated the wheel of pain from Conan, and every time the competitor did a number of rotations, another super heavy keg got dropped into the bin.
>>77146189I really hate actually doing Conan's wheel but it can be a really cool spectacle. One year recently they used a track switcher at a train yard or something, that was neat.
>>77146220Yeah, Conan’s Wheel, that’s what they called it. Great event.

>>77149454you know most of strongman and powerlifting happens in the lower weight classes right? people only watch the open weight because that's where the heaviest weights are lifted but if you watch the u80kg, u90kg and u105kg divisions you'll see a lot of very aesthetic physiques because they cannot permabulk to obesity. this is also where the best lb for lb performances happen which are cool in their own way.
