[00:00:04]  Greetings now you proud sons of Macedon.
[00:00:08]  Do you remember any time you've heard your voice record and you be like foi I don't sound like that one bit?
[00:00:16]  For me, I actually love the sound of my own voice, especially with my blue microphone.
[00:00:22]  Best purchase ever.
[00:00:24]  Either way, welcome to a voiceover of eternal prosperity and peace.
[00:00:31]  Here I am with my with my guys, with my true friends outside of the gym of holy deeds doing some strongman lifts.
[00:00:41]  So this is the kind of warm-up as it were.
[00:00:44]  I only did like bodyweight squats to get the legs a bit warmer.
[00:00:49]  So you see the tire there is a bit slippery, so I had to work with that as well.
[00:00:55]  So it's not as heavy as I can go.
[00:00:57]  It's more like the grip that was the issue.
[00:01:01]  So I'm perhaps the Abelian bull should have this little tutorial.
[00:01:06]  But when you lift the tire, I'm pushing my shoulders into the tire.
[00:01:11]  So it's not a deadlift, it is more like you're pushing the weight forward instead of upwards.
[00:01:17]  So then I'm pushing everything forward and upward a bit.
[00:01:21]  So you have to have a good grip to get under the tire.
[00:01:25]  And like that is very important as well to get the grip good.
[00:01:34]  So if it's really slippery or you can't get a good grip, the weight will be very, very much harder.
[00:01:41]  So you see that I'm trying to fucking juicy.
[00:01:44]  And there we have a little child as well running around and admiring the strength athletes.
[00:01:53]  So yeah, I really love tire tire flipping.
[00:01:55]  It feels like primordial, glorious, testosteroneous testosterone, I mean.
[00:02:02]  Fucking really wonderful exercise and works the whole body.
[00:02:05]  So if you're talking about like the word functional strength is so tainted by beta crossfitters and stuff like that but you utilize your whole body to just try to push a weight up.
[00:02:19]  So I'm trying to get my knee under there as soon as possible.
[00:02:22]  So you see that I'm resting it on my knee and then I can start pushing with my upper body.
[00:02:26]  So it's really a full body movement with like a deadlift squat and a push press kind of thing.
[00:02:35]  So you have to utilize your whole body and then a good momentum as well.
[00:02:38]  So it's a bit of bodybuilding, powerlifting, Olympic lifting all in one.
[00:02:44]  So I'm pushing it up, getting my knee under there and then continuing to push with the rest of the body.
[00:02:53]  And there's the glorious Avellian bull showing he obviously is one of the strongest guys in Sweden, especially in certain strongman endeavors.
[00:03:09]  So you see there is trying to get the knee up faster.
[00:03:14]  Pushing the weight forward to get up.
[00:03:19]  Foi millin gains.
[00:03:24]  And then you can see the the tire is dripping wet because I'm so sexy as it were.
[00:03:31]  Don't look that sexy in my in my coddly clothes though but but it's all good.
[00:03:36]  I have my belt of wisdom there as well.
[00:03:39]  So yeah I will try to train a bit more strongman because I it's really fucking fun.
[00:03:46]  I suggest you try it out.
[00:03:48]  If you have a cool like strongman gym uh in your vicinity, try it out.
[00:03:53]  My core strength is not decent enough for strongman, I'd say, but I utilize my belt of strength.
[00:04:00]  But it's really fun Goes well into the my culture stack.
[00:04:04]  If you haven't watched my culture stack video, I suggest you do it.
[00:04:07]  will link it below.
[00:04:14]  Boom!
[00:04:16]  So yeah, we're having a bit of a Strongman day here, but it will not be like more than once a week, maybe even once every two weeks, depending on where I'm at.
[00:04:27]  I have to be in this vicinity to train there, obviously.
[00:04:32]  And then I have to not get to not have a takeaway performance from my deadlifting because I want to reach 216 deadlift as soon as possible.
[00:04:45]  See how that goes.
[00:04:46]  I'm working on my technique like crazy there as well.
[00:04:50]  And there also is farmers walk.
[00:04:54]  You don't look that glorious when you do it.
[00:04:56]  You see, I'm stumbling there like a pale orc, but it's very good for the grip strength and then getting momentum in the legs.
[00:05:05]  But mainly for me, it's getting the balance and the grip.
[00:05:10]  So strongman, have a good grip will be very beneficial.
[00:05:20]  The white hand of Saruman.
[00:05:22]  Shout out Olympus Iron.
[00:05:24]  He also utilized the white hand of Saruman on his clothes when it's fucking go time for something glorious.
[00:05:32]  And here is our main man, the Abelian Bull.
[00:05:35]  Look how cool and Alpha looks now.
[00:05:38]  Foi, Mirin.
[00:05:40]  A lot of testosterone going on there So this is I don't remember how much weight it was, but I would I would my spine would crack under that weight Like no joke at all.
[00:05:51]  I wouldn't even be able to bodge that.
[00:05:53]  So a really, really great performance by the Abelian Bull here.
[00:05:57]  And he's one of the very best in Sweden at this particular endeavor.
[00:06:03]  So yeah, fucking awesome.
[00:06:04]  I hope you enjoyed the video.
