Then they aren’t doing Starting Strength. Which has one increasing weight on the compound lifts 5 pounds per workout (that is 15 pounds per week).

Yeah. People like to pretend ‘they’d settle it mano y mano’ if given the chance. But when actually given the option of Thunderdome; they decide ‘nah, not that important.’

Fun aside. Medieval courts used the threat of trial by combat to force mediation between parties. Very rarely did anyone choose trial by combat. I read that a scholar determined over 95% of cases were settled out of court when trial by combat was the court’s remedy for a civil dispute.

Non-crating is why the millennials suck so much. Thanks Obama.

Pure conjecture.

“more lifeguards = more people needing to be saved from drowning”

That is a valid legal defense? Cause my mom thinks I’m the shit.

He seemed genuinely happy and excited to be there. And asked a substantive question about energy policy and expected a substantive answer! He was just so out of place.

Please, please don’t give conservatives any ideas.

Who else to better empathize with the offenders? Duh.

Having watched the pilot, all of the robots are treated as objects. To put more bluntly, a lot of penis in this episode.

My first thought: Do these people not have jobs?

I like this lawyer.

I fail at internet today. You are in the right.

Sure...we can cherry pick. And I didn’t pick Hafthor. It does not change that Stongman competitors are typically pretty lean (BF around 20%) overall. And powerlifting is much like Olympic Weightlifting. The heavy weight classes have zero incentive to be lean. There is no condition element.

Your statement is not correct. Strongmen have relatively low BF%. Which is a function of their competition. They have to lift/move odd shaped things and have conditioning. A high BF% and large belly interferes with that. This is the Mountain with his shirt off:
