What do Brian Shaw, Hatfhor and martins Lucia have in common?

They are all above 6'3 are all very well proportioned for taller men, and they all have the mental faculties to become great.

its real, just a reminder that the government bans raw milk in most western countries, us urban plebs have to drink the pasteurized and denatured piss

Shaw and Hafthor are just ex basketballers that started eating a lot and roiding, never heard of this other guy and from what I can tell he's not anywhere near their level

went to school smack dab between a rural area and the beginning of the suburbs. lots of hard work every day for years from a young age. plus their diet is generally better, having grown the shit themselves instead of eating little caesars every night. for an average male id say i have average or even above average hands. nearly every farm guy mogs me though with like 3x the size of my hand. like what a small rubber ball would be to me, a basketball would be the same to them. generally around 6'3" or taller. i mostly stayed inside though as a kid, got no exercise, got very little sleep, and didnt eat very well, its a miracle im even 6'. sometimes i think what i couldve been if i had been born a farm lad.

physical activity while growing is the key, eddie hall was a competitive swimmer and thats why he has god tier body for strength

martins blows shaw away

Martins Licis got 2nd plance in the Arnold Classic 2019

No, what they have in common is that they were lucky enough to be born with good bone structure (tall and thick) that allows them to reach the peak of human strength with copious amounts of performance enhancing drugs

The more heavy work you do the stronger your nervous system becomes and it's pretty much a permanent thing. That's what old man strength is btw.

Naming Martin in the same sentence as those two, just lol at your life Lucia

People often say this but it flat out isn't true and is cope. I play a league below being a professional rugby player and yes it happens but anyone who has cycled did so at university you wouldn't get away with it now. Shut the fuck up and hit the gym

you sure sound like you know a lot

Himmler's the guys who thought injecting faggots with testosterone would make them less gay, so I wouldn't trust him with anything.

Why would you be strong from working on a farm?
Have you ever worked on a farm? Because I have.

I grew up in Kentucky working with cattle and tobacco. The three most strength building forms of labor I did were the following

1. picking up and throwing square hay bales
2. cutting and spearing tobacco plants
3. hanging tobacco plants in a barn

All of these are low amounts of weight in VERY high numbers of reps. Like hundreds and hundreds. An average hay bale might weigh 70 lbs. Sometimes up to 90 lbs. You're picking this up and putting it on a wagon, or you're on the wagon stacking it. Repeat 300-1000 times over the course of days during hay seasons.

BUT

My family was far behind the times and only used a square baler for a few years when they could not afford a round baler. Nowadays VERY FEW square bales are made and only horse ranches occasionally use them. 99.9% of real farmers are not fooling around with square bales.

Full grown tobacco plants can be a little heavy, maybe 20 lbs, and picking them up and putting them on a spear then lifting that spear onto a wagon is a workout when you do it a few hundred times. Same goes when hanging the fresh tobacco in the barn on tobacco sticks that might weight 70 to 100 lbs each. You'd do this a couple of hundred times in a day or two, once a year.

These days tobacco farming is about fucking dead and is seen as almost a novelty act. Like something you'd see in a historical reenactment. I haven't hung tobacco in 16 years.

These days farmers run machinery for almost everything. And most farmers I know are chicken legged with big guts from eating a sugary/salty diet. A lot of them are full blown diabetics.

Nah, "farmer strength" is a load of bullshit.

>plus their diet is generally better,
This is just so laughable I don't even know where to start. "farmer diet" is a lot of bologna and mountain dew.

Here's a video of hanging tobacco. I'm going to say I overestimated the weight of each stick. It's probably more like 40-50 lbs.

My old man was a farmer, he was strong by normie standards but no strongman. In my experience, farmer strength is mainly grip / forearm and a wee bit of shoulders

"Farmer strength" really comes from lots of Nordic, Dutch, and German immigrants in the midwestern USA. Every so often random genetics will spit out a 6'6" vanilla gorilla from that pack.

As a sheep farmer, I find the work pretty physically taxing, sheering them, wrestling them to trim hooves/inject with penicillin etc. Lambing season is always tough too, up early, lots of death

Yeah, but how many days a year are you sheering sheep?

that's a reasonable hypothesis to test
are you a science denier?

eating fatty animal products straight off the farm while developing will give you a thick/tall bone structure

>Le roids are magical and disqualify everything.
Bruh. The competition is all using steroids so that argument doesn't change the fact that they're still distinguished. Plenty of gym rats on gear that you couldn't even tell by looking at them.

when I was younger my friends and I were arm wrestling.. we were probably around 12 or so. but there was one farm chick there watching. one if the guys convinced her to try. she destroyed all of us. she thought we were faking. I tried, her arm was immovable. Really crushed my soul.

All that volume and work capacity builds up over time. Plenty of stories of classic lifters who come from labor backgrounds (farm, factory, lumber, mining, etc.) where they have a base. And there're studies that show having an active upbringing, be it labor or sports, sets you up permanently to be that much better at strength down the road. In addition, you can look at Jamie Lewis' articles on calisthenics and Indian wrestlers (pehlwani). They did reps to the hundreds and thousands each day. Yes, it'll predispose endurance but being able to rep that high will still force the body to build top end strength, especially when all the fibers are getting exhausted at failure.

Obviously not all year round but we do other elderly farmers sheep for them too. Guess I’m trying to say I got exposed to a lot of hard work young unlike almost most city kids
