Mamdani tried showing off at a “men’s day” event

[The Duke]

That's a heartwarming story.

It's a true one too, so there's that. I'm probably gonna go and check on the other cousin shortly. He was the best one out of that brother's kids, I'll tell ya wut.
Me and his uncle influenced him a lot. We're the good ones.

Zohan Mamdani tried to act like he was a macho man this week by doing a few bench presses with a girly weight hoping this would prove he was a man.

Total failure.

He used my warm-up weight and needed a spotter just to get it off of the rack.





Useful tip. Never do anything in front of cameras unless you've practiced first.

I'm sure he could do it if he started building up in weight in private because bench presses take practice.

I remember when I first benched 135 lbs when I was 12.

I can lift my portable garden bench. With one hand!

Old man's got a crush

It's rather pathetic watching you right-wingers who are unable to think for yourselves attacking somebody you won't vote for who is not running for mayor of your city.

And I might be old by number, but I am in better shape than you are.

It's a commie muslim, dumbass. You like that in America?
Commie Muslims running things? Why not a black American or..Sliwa? Hmm?
How about a New York Rican?
Not AOC. A real New York Rican. Like from The Bronx.
What's wrong with Adams? Hasn't he been doing better?

If you're vegan you're weak.

And will get gout.

All part of the democratic process, old man. We help our favored candidate by highlighting the deficiencies of their opponent.

I doubt it. I come from a traditional Southern family; we got hillbilly strength!

I’ve always heard gout is largely caused by red meat? I’ve had episodes of it. Hurts like a *****

Doubt it's caused by red meat.
One could eat cow and deer for the rest of their life and healthwise it would be just fine.
I ain't even marinating no ribs. Throw the dry rub on 'em, get the fire goin', put some smoke on 'em, wrap, throw back in smoker for awhile..3 hrs..finish off in oven. 4 hrs

In all seriousness, I just started my regimen. It was surprising to see that I had the innate strength to lift 100lbs without having to work my way to it. The extra 105 was a pleasant bonus. Getting chiseled is a luxury.

talk to your doctor---there are specific foods which are high in content of URIC ACID

 

[Delldude]

135 LBS

Looked like it was 50 lbs total weight

You sure? It's what they're saying on the media. Those plates look 25-35, bar what, 25?.

No way they were 45's.

I don't live in NYC, dumb ass. So I don't care.

We have a fascist white --- president. You are all for that.

Shellfish, and alcohol are big causes.

Trump is not a fascist-----he has a tendency to speak CARELESSLY

You're crazy. Only a nutcase thinks that without knowing who he's talking to.
Even when I was in Special Forces I couldn't assume that I was more in shape than everyone else.
I always had to prove it.

The 70s were before my time, but I’ve always had the impression that that was when serious powerlifting and bodybuilding took off. I believe the 70s brought us Arnold at his prime, for example

Hence why I specified 50s and 60s as being when it doesn’t seem like it was really a big thing

The lifters from that era just never looked all that impressive in the photos I’ve seen from then, god bless ‘em

Guys back then didn't always look strong....but they had strength we used to call "Tendon Strength".

I’ll freely admit my skills in the technical aspects of fighting are lacking. In my doorman days I definitely relied on my size as a deterrent over any real skill in that area.

But I’ll also say I’ve learned that having a very thick neck means you can absorb some wicked hard punches that would have whiplashed a smaller guy making the brain bounce around inside the skull. People underestimate how important it is to be able to take a punch in those scenarios

Learning to slip a punch is a good skill to learn. Learning how not to get hit.
I also learned that a strong kick in the chest or head is much better than a punch.
Punching someone in the head has risks....one guy broke his hand by hitting me in the top of my head.

 

[mudwhistle]

Can’t say that I have that I recall

Guess I’m lucky they usually go for my head cause it’s hard

They go for your head because they figure hitting you in the gut won't make a dent.
It'll just piss you off.
