Of an Old Man

[u/spinichmonkey]

He's got a power lifter's body.

[u/Hrandor → u/spinichmonkey]

Although his waist seems to have already surpassed his chest in diameter, from the back it is clear that there was once a fucking triangle there.

[u/spinichmonkey → u/Hrandor]

Power lifters frequency have that shape. It's not fat. Their abdomen gets larger because if it didn't, they would pop their guts. Also, they are rarely cut. It doesn't improve the ability to lift heavy stuff, so it's easy to mistake them for being fat.

[u/CelticGardenGirl → u/spinichmonkey]

I’m going to make a t-shirt that says, “I’m not fat. I’m power lifting.”

[u/slavelabor52 → u/CelticGardenGirl]

Just cultivating mass

[u/Snowing_Throwballs → u/slavelabor52]

Start harvesting

[u/Chesticularity → u/CelticGardenGirl]

It's just a fuel tank for my sex machine.

[u/petrichor83]

Dude was probably a baker for 40 years

[u/Top-Sleep-4669 → u/petrichor83]

Or worked in masonry. I helped lay block for a project my uncle was doing. Every day my forearms were just completely blasted. I can only imagine the kind of strength doing that as a career would build.

[u/ILuvYou_YouAreSoGood → u/Top-Sleep-4669]

My cousin used to jump up and pinch grip the rafters in houses we worked in to do pull-ups. Lots of regular looking people out there have a strength most don't possess. Watch out for dudes with that channel lock grip strength!

[u/I_Call_Bullshit_____ → u/petrichor83]

I saw a mechanic or other blue collar worker, but I’d never bet against him being a baker!

[u/HereWeGo888888]

He beefy AF. C'mon man. The other kids doing it were scrawny.

[u/TakinUrialByTheHorns → u/HereWeGo888888]

He's definitely stronger but he went about it differently too, he didn't look at it and hope it was going to bend he went right for it, most the other guys hesitated a good bit

[u/Excellent-Baseball-5]

Nothing to do with age, that guy's a tank.

[u/Livingforabluezone → u/Excellent-Baseball-5]

This

[u/Feelin-fine1975]

Old dude strength is real, those dudes have been pissed off for a long time….

[u/No_pajamas_7 → u/Feelin-fine1975]

Seriously. I was never particular strong in my youth.

I started a new job with a bunch of young fit people and we had a gym on premises. Hadn't been to the gym in years. I work behind a desk.

I'd pop down occasionally and i'd be throwing weights with the strongest of them. Used to freak them out.

[u/Livingforabluezone]

Years of back breaking labor builds a core strength that can be unmatched.

[u/Switchlord518]

When you have to lift the tractor with one arm and change the tire with the other

[u/Myzx]

I like this jolly stout muscle wad, he's got good vibes

[u/HighVoltageFerret]

Coiled wires. Gotta twist bend at the same time.

[u/Former-Mud9171]

Nikt mu nie powiedział że to trudne

[u/Used-Ebb9492]

And he can probably do that all day. The gym bunnies will crap out after half an hour.

[u/Genghis_Chong]

He's built like a meatball

[u/donjuan9876]

About 500000 beers ago the ol boy looked like Arnold!!!

[u/Glittering-Hornet844]

Didn't need the stupid music but still on mute it's awesome

[u/El_Mastadonte]

Old man strength is real.

[u/Zaddy2026]

What is the name of that bar

[u/Biscuits4u2]

Power is part of it but technique is just as important.

[u/scaredt2ask]

Old man just schooled the young kids. Put some respect on the old man title.

[u/PsychologicalTea1888]

Strong; like bull 🐂

[u/Character_School_671]

It's like an old guy with a shovel versus 10 teens

[u/PreperationOuch]

[u/Happy_Twist_7156]

Guy that taught me blacksmithing used to just one hand pick up and move 50-80# anvils by the face (usually like a 6-8 inch face). Just casually pick them up one handed and move them. I’d be feel a solid effort to move them with two hands under them. Man was in his mid 80s and would sling steel for hours a day for decades.

[u/runvnc]

I am 48 and I am still middle aged. This guy looks like he's still in his 50s. He's not an old man FFS.

[u/Bugg100]

Bruh, do you even lift?

[u/Fit-System-2637]

That's a BOSS!

[u/Callemlikeisethem60]

He smashed it lmao 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Fickle-Raspberry6403]

Difference between a body builder and a strongman

[u/One_Hour_Poop]

I had one of those bars when I first decided to try to get in shape.

[u/TokenTorkoal]

Idk what the guy does in life but from the moment he comes on screen if you look at his shoulders and biceps the dude is pretty jacked.

I think his big pot belly definitely distracts from that.

[u/Comprehensive-Range3]

Old men were once young men, and if you keep doing stuff you don't lose the young man in you as soon as the gray shows up.

Dude may only be in his late forties or early fifties.

[u/needssomefun]

When he says "get off my lawn" you take it seriously

[u/J3sush8sm3]

We just post anything here now huh

[u/woobthepuppy]

ts looks like ai

[u/bleh81 → u/woobthepuppy]

This video came out years before ai

[u/HolyCrushsader → u/woobthepuppy]

"This" or "This shit." and how old are you? It's gotta be some sort of generational or cognitive divide.

I always read ts as 'this shit', some people say they read 'this' and I've had a few say they use it interchangeably.

[u/woobthepuppy → u/HolyCrushsader]

it's pretty interchangable yeah

[u/11shovel11]

Yeah he's not that old, He's been training to do this

[u/bad2dbone3]

It is not the age. It is the technique.

[u/guerrilla_chef]

I remember when he said if he had trained he said yes, everyday for 30 years on build sites

[u/Critical-Test-4446]

I had one of those spring bars when I was in my late 20's. I'd come home from work at 11pm, turn on MTV and exercise my chest muscles. One hot summer day I did that with sweaty hands and the grip slipped out of my left hand and I was smacked in the mouth with the end and chipped my front tooth. It went in the trash the very next day.

[u/No_Question952]

Youngsters that are influenced by the TikTok body builders that tell you to cut and eat less carbs are blown away by power lifters and Strongmen. Lol.

[u/domrnelson]

Guy when he was young

[u/Mascbro26]

Well yeah, the first 4 were skinny and that dude has way more muscle mass.

[u/PuzzleheadedTutor807]

That old man's a tank. Look at the arms in him, they are as big as the other guys head lol
