>tfw ywn lift completely nude with your best buds
Kekked hard

The colosseum is not greek.

Not greek.

Not ancient greek.

That is a roman mosaic.

Stop nitpicking you little bitch

He looks like Wojak. History does repeat itself.

Does this thing have handles?

How does one grab dis like?

no. he lifted the old fashioned (ie non-pussy) way

>lifting heavy shit
>not modern

Noone ever lifted that stone with their bare hands

>find heavy rock
>have chisel
>chisel I lifted big rock onto said rock
>people believe me

e-stats have existed since the dawn of Man.

They didn't have Photoshop, so they just made shit up and called it a day.

>Go to "modern gym"
>Do 5 variations of "lift heavy barbell"
Yes truly technology has radically changed gyms and how those that want peak performance train

You think they have lunk alarm bells back then?

World record Atlas stone lift is 255kg and that's with massive amounts of steroids.

Either Eumastas sumo-DL'd it or he's just a e-stating faggot.

You sound like onions personified

>Go to stadium to lift rocks from the Earth
>Its Thebian Fitness
>Hoist one rock from the Earth
>It gets up to my knees
drop it, feeling good
>Suddenly an Eromenus runs toward me savagely ringing a cow's bell
>TFW banished from the stadium

Bull Testicles

They used to train naked back in the good old days in Greek Gyms. No idea whatsoever of what their routines looked like tho

>go home and fuck my boi slave

It just says lifted of the ground. It was probably like a few inches or something. still strong as fuck.

holy kek

Roman civilisation is Greek. Soo

we should bring back bouldering desu

Greek civilisation is egyptian. soooo

Surely Occam's razor applies here the same way it does when someone with 24 inch arms at 7% claims natty. What is more likely, that he actually lifted it or just wrote about it?

egyptian civilisation is Homo Habilis, so...

>Philostratus wrote that systematic training evolved out of the more empirical methods that early Olympic athletes devised to improve their fitness. He describes (Gymnasticus, 44), somewhat imaginatively, how “they lifted weights, raced horses and hares, bent or straightened metal bars, pulled ploughs or carts, liftedbullsand wrestled lions, or swam in the sea so as to exercise their arms and their entire body. Their diet was natural, with whole grain bread and meat from oxen, bulls, goats and deer. They slept on hides or straw mattresses, and anointed themselves with plenty of olive oil. They were healthy and did not get sick easily. They stayed youthful into old age, and competed in manyOlympics, some in eight and others in nine.” As sports pundits of any age always seem to maintain, he felt that no athlete of his day could hold a candle to the real champions of yore.

Homo Habilis civilization is Neanderthal soooo

nobody that writes about these things ever fuckin guess the original lifters LIED

>They used to train naked back in the good old days in Greek Gyms
That's what "gymnasium" means
The Greek word for nudity was "gymnos".

Neanderthal civilization is a descendant of pelycosaurs so...

Is this the first SIR comic?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Cyr

This guy is probably the strongest man in recorded history, still way before steroid era. Imagine his lifts on steroids

thumb through the hole, fingers on the flat side

>Was a manlet
Take that lanklets

I imagine a few generations of selective breeding would get similar results. If you can turn a wolf in to a poodle why not the other way around?

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Cyr
a fucking LEAF

>his mom was over 6 foot
>weighed over 250
>in that era
Maybe I should settle with a plus size woman for my children's sake

Neanderthal is just a homo that got fucked by Homo Sapiens

Pelycosaurs got riden by Graecopithecus.
So back to Greece

They ate onions user. They are natures steroid

One-handed snatch: 188 12 pounds (85.5 kg)
One-handed press: 273 pounds (124 kg)
Back lift: 9,337 pounds (4,235 kg)

he dumbbell pressed 124 kg. he could probably OHP 200kg+ easily.

holy shit he was strong.

>Bunch of meme lifts
Wow it's fucking nothing

>e-stating
Elladic stating?

Cope harder faggot

>tfw can't even lift lmao1cow

But did he used hook grip?

There are people today who dumbell press 140+kg

Strongest man ever documented.

>lolz it was nuffin

Jesus christ. Stop being intimidated by other people's achievements, especially dead cunts. You may as well have the words "insecure twat" tattooed on your forehead.

Shut the fuck up little bitch

shut your whore mouth race traitor

For fuck's sake. They didn't eat food with poison in it. They didn't drink water with fluoride and chlorine in it. They didn't expose themselves to plastics and chemicals, they didn't take birth control and destroy their bodies. They didn't have anything lowering their testosterone levels. They were completely lacking in outside influences that destroys the human body today. How is this so hard to understand?

on top of all that, they were Greeks!

dumb fuck

The greeks were gay tho. So stronger but buttsecks for days

Giant (nephilim) blood.

you must be fun at parties

a low test phaggot back then would have piss strong enough to kill a hundred s*yboys right now.

:o

They knew a lot more shit than you think they did. Apart from being higher test and having war and the Olympics:

>Legends say he carried his own bronze statue to its place at Olympia, and once carried a four-year-old bull on his shoulders before slaughtering, roasting, and devouring it in one day.[2][3] He was said to have achieved the feat of lifting the bull by starting in childhood, lifting and carrying a newborn calf and repeating the feat daily as it grew to maturity

That is literally linear progression

It’s a coping mechanism, and a shot straight to the ego. Retards today go to fancy gyms that have air conditioning, all the modern machines and weights they could ever need but barely get over a bw bench.
Go back 150 years and people were training in their backyards with fuckall technique, home made weights and uneven terrain and got world records. Some of them arrent beaten to this day.
Better talk about percentages, deload phases, squat shoes or whatever other meme is cool now instead of actual training.

>that mosaic when no patrician GF

Its easy.

>Put muscel under load
>eat healty und much
>muscel grows

And btw, we dont have a time machine the greeks could hade even some grumpy slav trainers.

fuck this has to be the most retarded comment I've seen this year

I want this I WANT THIS FUCK WAGE SLAVERY GIVE ME A HUT IN THE MEDITERRANIAN AND ENDLESS FOOD GIVE ME THIS AHHHHHH FUCK YOU MODERN FLIFE FUCK FUCK FUCK

Shut up the cardio bunny one was funny as fuck, unlike a certain user in this thread

who said that was a greek you fuck

>believing some undocumented legends and myths
>believing that some ancient "world records" stayed undefeated even today, when strength athletes are as numerous as never and supported by modern knowledge and roids
>believing that people used to be significantly different back then

I bet those who preach all these bullshit stories about superhuman feats from decades ago would easily fit into the anti-vaccination crowd. No knowledge, lack of logical thinking, emotional reasoning, being prone to basic demagogy.

>but of course i believe lifting records before there were video records
>and of course i believe them when they exceeds the amount a roided up 2 meter strongman can lift

>projecting modern cultural views onto ancient history
for a man to be called a cocksucker was the most humiliating insult there was in ancient greece. they just liked having thigh sex with little boys, there were no effeminate faggots of the kind that plague us today.

When I last browsed Jow Forums everyone was touting eating raw onions to raise test, what happened? Now all I see on Jow Forums is onions make the boy a faggot

Onions was a meme and a buzzword. Ignore the faggots and lurk.

>Cyr learned boxing and wrestling for a match. While in Montréal, Que., 25 March 1901, Louis Cyr wrestled Édouard Beaupré, who was known as a giant man. Cyr's height was measured at 5 feet 8.5 inches (1.740 metres) and he weighed 365 pounds (166 kilograms). Beaupré's height was measured at 7 feet 8.1 inches (2.339 metres) and he weighed 365 pounds (166 kilograms). Cyr won.

There are lots of ways to get strong without gyms. Lifting rocks for one.
