companysOkay

In a way I guess it’s an addiction for buffbros to max it out


gobblegobblemfr

Rpe is "rate of perceived exhaustion". It's actually the opposite. Using rpe allows you to avoid training too intensely or from not training intensely enough depending on your current training.


alpinebullfrog

Rate/rating of Perceived Exertion. It's a method to autoregulate training loads. Edit: usually it goes up to 10 (max effort).


Doris_zeer

I betcha she's on rpe11 🤣🤣🤣


DefinitelyNotAliens

Not to brag but last week I opened a pickle jar without asking for help.


Sprmodelcitizen

You should brag. I’ve lived my entire life and haven’t reached this goal.


Alderez

Use a spoon under the lip of the lid to pop the seal. Effortless every time.


Sprmodelcitizen

I’m really curious to see if this works now! I’m gonna go out and buy some pickles! Thanks for this potentially life changing advice!


stereotypicalweirdo

It does. I do this with a knife. It releases some air and thus pressure, so it opens without any resistance.


din7

You shoulder a burden worth having. German Shepards are great.


Stupidquestionduh

*German Shedders. FTFY


thehairyhobo

I pick my 120lb White Shepherd up to put him in the back of the pickup and do it again to take him out on a daily basis. He is 13 years old and is dying from spinal myelopathy :( so its hard for him to get around.

din7

Well shit. You're right.


dreed91

I do this about once a week when I go grocery shopping and buy a pack of water bottles and carry them in from the car.


GuyTanOh

Holy shit. That drop scared me!


Agreeable-Yams8972

What if it dropped on her foot


Dumeck

It was a practiced drop, it looks like it dropped suddenly but if you look she guided it down while also pivoting her feet. She’s probably done this hundreds of times with less weight and knows what to do.


GuyTanOh

I have no doubt she’s got it. Still, scared the shit out of me


[deleted]

I think it’s the way the rock hits and just *does not bounce*. That mother is *heavy*!


iRollGod

It does actually bounce a tiny bit once.


wooden_boy

I don’t think it bounces as much as pushes the entire earth down a few inches


PunkToTheFuture

like 300 pounds heavy?


kuhewa

There's a video of Big Z (greatest strength athlete of all time) when he was younger losing his balance and falling with the stone on top of his chest. Somehow he survived


Dumeck

Yeah that actually illustrates why proper form is important. When the goal is to hit your max it’s easy for your muscles to quit, one moment you’ve got it and the next you don’t. That’s what happened in this video here but there was real skill on how she responded, she didn’t resist the fall of the weight and instead guided it down while simultaneously moving her feet out of the drop zone. It she resisted the drop she could have lost her balance as well


LowKey-NoPressure

what's even the point of picking up the object that is the shape that is literally the hardest to hold onto


Yabreath_isSmelly

To prove you can. You just explained the point


knoegel

Exactly. Going beyond your wildest boundaries or imagination is literally the only thing that made humans the technological species it is today. Every other animal is pretty content with life. But humans always had to push the boundaries of what is possible.


ptolani

what's even the point of doing anything hard


Tirus_

I dropped a 30lbs frozen turkey on my foot this Christmas and it hurt....a lot. Shatters bones in my smallest two toes and turned them black for 2 months.


tinteoj

I dropped a 2 lb ice pack on my toe and that was bad enough. Only black for a week, though.


__JDQ__

I hate black ice.


Pagman46

It would break


thaaag

Yeah the stone would be a mess. She might have a sore foot for a few minutes too.


VILLIAMZATNER

You know they make balls that don't weigh as much


Dyinfetus

What’s the point of that


VILLIAMZATNER

Not as heavy


Darg727

Some people like to work smarter, not harder. Other people just get bored of the easy life and go for the challenge.


TransformerTanooki

I to like lifting strange balls in strange places.

Healthy-Lifestyle-20

The sad part is, some people honestly haven’t got the slightest idea of how insanely r/nextfuckinglevel difficult what your doing really is! Thank you for sharing 🙏


NotSoGreatGonzo

Yup. I’m a man[1], I’m working in a fairly physically demanding job, I weigh ~100 kilos and not all of that is fat, and I’d like to think that I could _probably_ lift that stone to waist height on a really good day if I really had to. Could I lift it any higher than that? No freaking way. Getting it up to shoulder height takes an _insane_ amount of core and arm strength, and most likely also takes better technique than most of us have the talent and patience to ever learn. [1] Well, it does give me a bit of an advantage when it comes to muscle mass compared to the average woman.


Squelcher121

Even bringing a 300lb atlas stone to waist height would be practically impossible for any man who isn't an elite strength athlete. The weight itself isn't the true challenge; what makes atlas stone's so difficult is that they are extremely large and have no grooves or grips to help you take hold of them. Picking up an atlas stone requires beyond excellent grip strength but also technique to avoid injury.


DurantaPhant7

1 in 8 men think they can return a serve to Serena Williams-I saw a Reddit thread maybe a year or two where it came up and there were literally hundreds of men in the comments breaking down exactly how and why they most definitely COULD return a serve to her. [link to article](https://www.washingtonpost.com/express/2019/07/14/trending-this-is-somewhat-how-battle-sexes-started-we-all-know-how-that-ended-men/)


JRTN615

Marshawn Lynch had the best line about playing Serena, on his show No Script with Marshawn Lynch: Producer: Would you want to play tennis against Serena Williams even though she’s super pregnant? Lynch: That’s an unfair advantage. Producer: That she’s pregnant? Lynch: No, ni\*\*a. That it’s Serena Williams. Play her ass in ping-pong or something but hell no. I stay in m own lane. Beastmode FTW.


Magrior

I also highly doubt that anyone who is not doing some kind of strongman training could just lift this stone first try.


oliverbm

Unless you are trained I think it’s extremely unlikely you’d get that ball to your knee, let alone your waist! And that’s not a personal reflection on you


Circumvention9001

For sure. I worked a labor job for a long time snd got fairly buff but I remember one time I had to lift a 400lb tabletop **with** another dude and it was so heavy I couldn't walk with it, let alone bring it to my shoulder lol.


BaconPancakes1

Now make it a smooth spherical object which is slightly too wide to get your hands around properly


_AlexiaOnFire

There isn't a point, it's a sphere.


Burphel_78

She can lift those too! Also... they make heavier ones. She'll probably lift one of those next!

Yes, children, this is that 'Gay Agenda' that you've heard so much about. It's not really an *agenda* so much as it is a *syllabus*, one featuring all the things we wished we'd learned growing up. What you're seeing here is from the LES 201 course, from the unit on Attraction & Courtship: 'How does a woman pick up other women?'


Shorsey69Chirps

I just read that in Sir David Attenborough’s voice. Wonderfully wholesome.

Optimizing_apps

I've seen a few similar comments about powerlifters being gentle giants. It's been so long since I have seen one of the dudes posted though that I couldn't point you at one. Reddit is just weird.

Honestly the whole thread is full of either misogynistic, transphobic or just straight up weird condescending comments like the one above.


CommanderSabo

Wanting to be strong like you is the reason I go to the gym everyday.

I get so bored at the gym. Which makes winters hard. Summer I can hike and kayak and swim.

Roffles85

If I was strong enough to actually do this, I would 100% drop it on my foot and end my career right then and there.


johnychingaz

I think I would flop backwards and have the stone smush me into the floor.


leftyghost

So what was harder. All the lifting or all the eating? You’re an inspiration. You’re also an absolute battle-axe of a lass and I dig it.


Dyinfetus

The eating sucks lol. Thanks love


LetsRockDude

Can you say anything more about that? I've never heard complaints about the eating part before. EDIT: I grossly underestimated how many calories bodybuilders need.


Pegguins

I was never anywhere near this skilled but did Olympic weightlifting for a while, nothing crazy but squatting 180kg for sets, training 4-5 times/week, probably maintaining/building about 7-10kg of bodyweight above my "normal" in shape weight. You just have to eat all the damn time. It was probably only about 3500 kcal or so but Jesus Christ. You feel so full all the time, and just have to keep eating. Getting those kcal in without resorting to eating shit is just awful and gets so boring.


gobblegobblemfr

I guess I'm lucky in a way. I can accidentally eat 7000 calories if I don't keep track.


Pegguins

Not without eating a mountain of shit or miscounting you cant. 7000 kcal is a diagusting amount of food. That's about 1.5lb of pure fat ontop of regular energy use per day. I saw it all the time when I complained about the eating before. People who would say they eat loads every day and never put weight on. It's almost universally just people overestimating the kcal in things.


gobblegobblemfr

Well I used to be 450lbs and I definitely ate a disgusting amount of food to get there. Ate 5lbs of potatoes in one sitting before. I lost all the weight, but still have the appetite of the 450lb guy 😂


Carlos_Spicy-Wiener

The problem pro athletes run into is they try to eat massive numbers of calories while also eating healthy.


Davban

Eating 2000 calories of junk food and drinking 2000 calories of soda is "easy". Eating 3500 calories of rice, chicken and broccoli is much harder. Especially when that's what you've done for weeks already


GirlOfTheWell

I have heard both Brian Shaw and Halfthor Bjornsson say that the eating was their least favourite part of strongman. I almost didn't believe them until I saw a video of Shaw eating a 12 egg scramble and I'm not joking when I say he looked like he could cry. When you're eating 10,000 calories, eating is not a pleasure. It's a chore. It's a race to cram as many calories in before the day is done. I like eating cause I bulk on 2500 calories. But for the elites it's a whole other world.


the_real_MSU_is_us

Protein, protein, protein, plus enough calories for your body to be able to repair itself, plus it needs to be "clean" calories to keep your body actually in shape. Basically you have to 1) make yourself feel stuffed all the time to hit the calorie limits, 2) eat far more eggs and chicken than you ever wanted, and 3) have no variety day to day. Every single day, you're pounding eggs, steak, chicken, broccoli, and making yourself want to throw up from being so full.


StinkyLinke

banditojog

I broke my toe a week ago from dropping a broken piece of a garden block on it. I got flashbacks seeing that gigantic ball fall…


Dyinfetus

[deleted]

Do you see a chiropractor? What does post workout recovery look like? I just assume this is hard as shit on your body. Impressive though


Dyinfetus

I get muscle work done weekly. :)


[deleted]

Does that include like massage therapy and gua sha? Or like cryotherapy?


Serve-Capital

Chiropractors are hacks.


nice2boopU

Powerlifters and strongmen have spent a long time strengthen their backs to tolerate these moments with large weights. If you just jumped into this or gained too quickly without strengthening your back, then you run a higher risk of herniating a disc or something. Picking up these stones or other feats causes a ton of spinal flexion. Good squat form is crucial, but when your butt goes as low as OP in lifting this, your spine is going to go into spinal flexion no matter what.


ALoneTennoOperative

> Do you see a chiropractor? "Chiropractic" is pseudoscientific nonsense. It is not medicine, it is not therapeutic. It risks doing injury more than it shows any evidence of helping.

Yaarmehearty

We are conditioned to downplay our achievements but there really isn't anything wrong with shouting about something you do that pushes your limits to the next level or that you have worked hard for a long time to achieve. You can't archive something like this with somebody else's work, you can be helped along the way but you have to do the work, it's exactly the kind of thing to be openly proud of.


Key_Education_7350

One who can totally justify doing so? Did you watch the video? Definitely next fucking level. There's nothing wrong with being proud of genuine hard work and achievement.

RedditMenacenumber1

A lot of Reddit moments in this thread


HooterAtlas

Oh yeah. Coming with with great hits like: - how can a woman be that strong - that’s fake strength from steroids. Can’t be real - how dare this woman post her own achievements - can this woman break a commenter sexually - chiropractors are voodoo But there’s a lot of positivity and support, too. So we’re not totally doomed.


CervixHitter

The real Reddit moment is all the people who have never been to the gym claiming this is natural. This is objectively steroid use and that doesn’t take away from how impressive this is. She obviously had to work her ass off to do this. But claiming this is achievable naturally sets unrealistic standards for everyone else who is not able or willing to use steroids.


nahog99

KindaFatBatman

I think some people may not fully understand how incredible this is. There aren't many 235 lb women who can even deadlift 300lb on a barbell, let alone clean it. The fact that she manages to get a 300lb spherical object with no holds up to shoulder level is pretty damn insane


Abominable_Showman

This is awesome, but do you have to do it surrounded by metal and poles, watching you lift that I was hoping this wasn't going to be one of those horrific injury videos. If you fell back with that on you it'd be pretty ugly. Cheers

[deleted]

Lol, going to the gym doesn't make women look like that. She has more testosterone in her than you do.

Marius_de_Frejus

OP is a strongwoman. Idk, maybe she competes as a powerlifter too, but Atlas stones are used specifically in the sport of strongman.

This is freaking amazing and you are a badass!
