How would you best attack him from distance?

Helicopter kick from a distance.

 

[Skyzard]

Helicopter kick him from a distance.

Ahh yes of course, drop down helicopter kick into fly away or

[SeanR1221]

So if I needed something that wieghed 500KG's lifted just a ittle bit of the ground and not moved anywhere, then I guess I would call this guy.

What's the point of being able to do such a useless task? Lifting a big weight over your head I can see has some point to it, because, shelves are high sometimes.

I hope this pops up on that worst post on neogaf twitter

gif looks like it is from that video, doesn't it?

Same competition, different year actually. Don't blame you at all though.

Yeah in general it's a pretty good idea to stay away from someone that could easily rip you in half with his bear bare (edit: bear would probably work too actually) hands.

Shoot him?

 

[Dante Morgan]

That's seriously impressive. Can't imagine all that weight did his back much good though.

 

[bidguy]

damn

 

[Darklord]

I don't understand how their spines or any back of their back isn't completely fucked. I lift 40lbs stuff at work and after a day I'm tight everywhere.

Scrub can't even hit enough reps for proper gains.

Form.

Mfker can't even turn to wipe his ass.

Just a question but do you have a curved lower back when you lift stuff? Like yeah adopting the deadlift form for lifting stuff from the ground does wonders for your back.

Link if you're interested.

 

[Plinko]

My favorite part is how he glances to the side after the judge gives him the go-ahead to put it down. What a badass.

 

[Randam]

idk.
room is exactly the same, he wears the same clothes.

you're sure?

 

[Saintguine]

Very sure.

EDIT: No sarcasm or snark intended at all. Fuck I always realize this shit at the last second.

yeah, put them side by side.

Back getting "tight" from lifting is normal but your spine shouldn't be hurting. That's a form issue.

 

[GabDX]

How would you best attack him from distance?

Why would I need to attack him?

 

[freddy]

Why would I need to attack him?

Because he's about to run you down and grind you into the dirt for saying he's a fat lard.

 

[entremet]

It's a competitive sport. What's the point of doing anything using your reasoning?

 

[jchap]

Larry Allen could bench press 700 lbs and Squat 900. Of course he could practically use that to maul people in the NFL for millions of dollars. He could also run fast:

 

[Kopite]

haha and Bruce Willis thought he was a superhero because he could lift 350 pounds.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Nah. I think a lot of people generally share something that's close to that opinion.

 

[Piers]

Aesthetic over everything, though. Praise Zyzz.

Skinny ectomorph muscles.

 

[entremet]

Nah. I think a lot of people generally share something that's close to that opinion.

And it's a shitty opinion. The man is breaking records for his sport. Powerlifting is a sport. It's super niche but it is a sport that has national and international bodies governing it.

 

[GabDX]

A fat lard can outrun me? Haha!

 

[Diablos]

His spine is doomed.

 

[flaxknuckles]

For records. Plus him being able to lift that much means he could probably destroy anyone in open combat. Useful in the apocalyptic future we are barreling towards.

Not so useful when he runs out of the amount of food needed to maintain that body and starves to death.

 

[KillGore]

I wonder. A chimpanzee is obviously stronger than a human, but would a chimpanzee be capable of doing this? naturally of course.

 

[entremet]

Not so useful when he runs out of the amount of food needed to maintain that body and starves to death.

Starves? Look at those fat stores. He'll be better off than most in a zombie apocalypse scenario. Coupled with being hella strong and I'll bet on him more than most.

 

[condompickle]

but... how much can he squat?

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

That's a big ol boy.

 

[alfredofroylan]

How come this guy is so fat?

Here

 

[StudioTan]

My knees and lumbar discs popped just by looking at that jif.

What's a jif? Is it like a gpeg?

 

[entremet]

Here

I disagree with this.

Some of the old school bodybuilders were strong as heck.

Kai Greene, a currently competing bodybuilder, benches 500 for reps easily. Bodybuilders are rarely weak.

You meant Frank Zane:

Dumb picture. Bodybuilders are strong as fuck and quite a few natural bodybuilders will do powerlifting as well.

 

[Cooter]

It's not one extreme or the other. You can be strong as shit and have an aesthetically pleasing body.

 

[lemmykoopa]

Impressive, but isn't the ROM really small because of the height of these tires? Just implying that if those were plates instead of tires he would have to bend deeper to lift them up, more difficult lift then.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

I think its AlienShogun

Shit, I wish. He's literally almost double my best deadlift.

615lbs

http://youtu.be/UC6iDiDRA4g

How come this guy is so fat?

He may be carrying a lot of fat, but he's also carrying a huge amount of muscle. Look at his back and shoulders. Dude is a monster.

 

[Hypemaster]

I don't understand how their spines or any back of their back isn't completely fucked. I lift 40lbs stuff at work and after a day I'm tight everywhere.

As people said your form is most likely wrong.
You keep your back straight (at the natural arch your back is in) and knees bent when picking up the weight. You lift with your legs and thrust forward with your hips.

 

[Powercast]

Power lifters don't do it for aesthetics.

Actually natty powerlifters are usually pretty lean. Being fat is a disadvantage because of weight classes.

 

[CornBurrito]

'Strong people are harder to kill than weak people and more useful in general.'

In the modern world I am sure it barely matters.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Natty powerlifters are usually less lean than their geared up counterparts. The really strong Nattys that is and those are rare as hell.

Shit, chances are anyone you're talking about isn't natty anyway. Especially if they are making money off of it.

 

[rokkerkory]

I can do like 15% of that lol

 

[GhostWriter24]

God damn. I want this man nearby if I am ever pinned beneath a large automobile.

 

[entremet]

That's underestimating it. Muscle mass in an insurance policy in things like car accidents.

Besides it's not just muscle but stronger bones and tendons. As you age that becomes very important. Many elderly die due to brittle bones breaking from falls and such. So yes it is very useful, even in the modern world.

Strong people are harder to kill in general.
