      It shouldn't happen. Not because it wouldn't be cool but out of respect for Tom, he doesn't want the attention. I know the suburb he lives in, only about 20mim drive from mine, I know cause we were affected by the same flooding event last year. I reached out and asked if his farm was okay and that was it, he responded pleasantly, wished me well and that was the entire interaction. I deliberately didn't press more because he doesn't want 1000s of people rocking up on his door step to drool on his work boots. He doesn't want to be some niche celebrity, he wants to eat, train and care for his animals.

    My pick for best strength coach is Louie. Just because he had an amazing understanding of the mechanics of moving under load, he could read someone's weaknesses so easily, he went out of the norm to understand others and their techniques.
    He rarely said others were wrong.
    And his gym held dozens of world records.

Of course experience is a factor and powerlifting is much easier, but it reminds me how Eric Spoto didnt seem to care about competing for a few years, then immediately broke the all time bench record his first meet.

I can't stress enough how much I do indeed believe him, especially considering the gym lifts using normal plates, but realistically man we have no idea how much any of that custom stuff weighs.

    I think you missed out the most important aspect! All his lifts are done separately and on his best days no doubt. WSM you have to do all the lifts on the same day/days! It's ok being able to deadlift 950-1000lbs but can you do that then do another 2 or 3 events on the same day? Then do more events the day after?
    It's why "gym lifts" don't (or at least shouldn't) count as World Records etc... Competition conditions are FAR different!
    I'm very surprised this wasn't mentioned.

    • @mrsensei8878
      @mrsensei8878 4 месяца назад +18

      A world record is who lift the heaviest. An event where you only lift for a world record counts as well because you indeed did lift heavier than anyone before. The reason for it to only be legit in comp/event should be firstly because so others can attempt it too and secondly its more official. The reason should not be because you need an entire strength compition around it.

    Here's a different perspective nearly all of you most likely did not know before.
    Jesus Christ the Messiah (peace be upon him) was taken to Heaven by Lord/God/TheCreator because some wanted him dead, so God saved him (be patient, continue reading, you will see ''the matrix'', upto you to escape it).
    The word christ comes from the Greek word 'christos' meaning chosen,
    the word messiah comes from the Arabic/Hebrew word 'messiach', again meaning chosen.
    Jesus did not speak Greek or Arabic or Hebrew, he spoke Aramaic.
    So, Who chose Jesus?
    TheCreator/TheGod/TheLord did.
    To do what?
    To convey that there is TheCreator/TheGod/TheLord and only ThatSupreme power should be worshipped and prayed to and NO idols/conjured up god/s by human kind,
    be it a man, a spirit of a man, a sun, a star, a moon, a tree, an animal etc etc be worshipped in any way.
    Anything that is worshipped besides TheGod is a god, that is false god, hence with a small ''g''.
    There is one Creator, hence why TheGod, the only One deserving of worship.
    What does Allah mean as a word?
    It means TheCreator/TheGod/TheLord.
    What does ''elaah'' mean as a word?
    It means any idol or conjured up god or gods that are false and do not deserve worship of any kind, hence why Islam rejects all gods but TheGod/TheCreator/TheLord/Allah.
    Why are all religions in opposition of Islam?
    Because they have a god or many gods but TheGod that is worshipped in someway or another.
    Have you ever read a Quran from start to finish?
    That you can answer for your self.
    (I recommend the Sahih International english translation, it's good).
    Best wishes.
    -------------------------------
    .....btw.....
    Jesus did preach to worship the OneGod/TheCreator and not anything else, and so did his followers, peace be upon them all.
    This unsettled the Roman Empire because this idea of Monotheism went against their pagan beliefs where the emperor was both emperor and god. They persecuted the followers of Jesus and even attempted to kill Jesus, even a Roman Empire servant Saul of Tarsus was out to kill Jesus.
    Saul never managed to meet Jesus in real life but after Jesus was taken up to Heaven Saul said he saw a dream and said he will now preach the teachings of Jesus. Saul of Tarsus is also known in todays christianity as Saint Paul, so todays christians are actually on the teaching of ''Saint'' Paul which brings in trinity and godhead figure of Jesus and rejects Monotheism.
    -Jesus was commanded to preach Monotheism, which he did and early followers were Monotheistic believing people, which later changed with the Roman Empires paganism spreading
    -Jesus was commanded to preach ONLY to the Israelites, which he did, but after him Saul of Tarsus aka ''saint Paul'' started to preach to the Gentiles, which is the foundation of todays christiandom.
    -Jesus was commanded to rule for the circumsicion which he did, but it was taken out after he left
    -Roman Empire in 325 AD held a council, with empire alligned 'scholars'' to decide and VOTE on whether Jesus was to be worshipped or not, they VOTED that Jesus be accepted as god (in aliagn with the pagan beliefs of the Roman traditions) and ever since the trinity became the 'christian way' (not what Jesus preached), and sinc that time the Church has chronicled how many times the ''Bible'' has been changed, verses removed and verses added to SUIT this altered idea of trinity!
