    I was just defending you to Mark the other day and now here you are being unnecessarily grumpy at him. Granted you were also grumpy at no arms guy and ridiculously strong Pakistani dude, so it isn't that personal, but seriously would you really rather watch more powerlifters posting the same 3 lifts at a human face forever?
    Marks lifts are good entertainment, in the tradition of the old time strongman and modern strongman back when they actually did fun novel events. And it's way more wholesome than the giant d*ldo and vore fetish content a lot of competitors put out. So while I totally understand the urge to grump at a young man with no kids who seems to have infinite time to try random things, I think there's such a thing as too much.
    And on a personal note that it's messed up that I have to be out here playing peacemaker because I want to be out there instigating conflict, not resolving it. >:(

      I think the entire video is tongue and cheek trolling on Bromley’s part, but honestly, even if it’s not, I’m pretty sure Mark is part of a clique of Reddit lifters that were exceptionally condescending for years and finally decided to self isolate over in r/kettleballs and r/liftingcirclejerk instead of engaging in toxic behavior, shit talking anonymous gym noobs all day.
      So if he can dish it out, I’m sure he can take some condescension back his way.

    • @AlexanderBromley
      @AlexanderBromley  Месяц назад +6

      @atlaspowershrugged Well firstly.... 'unnecessarily grumpy' is kind of the theme of these videos. Some of its purely a joke, some of it mirrors what I believe. I actively don't like Mark, so I would have to intentionally pull punches NOT to feature him or mock his gimmick.
      Now Powerlifting is fucking boring, HARD agree there, but there's real estate between "only S/B/D" and "anything but S/B/D". I have a cynical take on social media, I think it turns people into attention seeking goons. Frequency is a big component here.... the mom doing a dance with her 5 year old or even the strongman doing a day of eating.... not terrible. It's when you see they spammed it on a daily basis because of audience capture and they don't have another trick to get the same engagement that it becomes kind of gross and dysfunctional. So I don't know how you can see the number of posts of attention-seeking stunts and not see the same dynamic. It's no different than the guy finding different ways to smack his shins with a razor scooter, because if you don't have something interesting, motivating or educational, that's how you stay relevant.
      No rule that says you have to make content to my standards, but if you're going to prop yourself up exclusively by attention-seeking content.... there certainly is no rule that says I can't roast you.
      You say they do it 'for fun', and I HARD disagree there. If IG doesn't exist, they don't do this. That's why I have respect for CaptainLegz, same with Bud Jeffries, because it's obviously a labor of love that they actually get something out of. What these idiots do is purely for engagement, engagement that they are not willing risk losing by posting anything that isn't that.

      If you're gonna do it, might be better to just hang upside down from a pull up bar, that way your neck is only holding the weight of your head, not your entire body. Progressive overload would be buying a neck harness and putting plates through it. Much better than expecting your (presumably un/detrained) neck to support your entire bodyweight right off the get go.
      As for how to hang off of a pull up bar, I saw there are some special "shoes" which you strap your feet into and then attach yourself to a pull up bar upside down, although I don't know what they're called.
      A simpler set would be to just hang off of a upside down crunch / hanging sit up machine, if you have access to it.
      However this all assumes that this is the fix for a forward head posture. Perhaps simply training the back off your neck and stretching the front of it would do the trick? I think Alex Leonidas has a good video on it. It's called "fix your uneven neck now".

So, I’m gonna give it ago on tip toes beneath a door frame cause that face pull shit ain’t working for me.

It is a full body workout to sprint on a bike but it is explosive for the legs and more fighting against your legs for everything else.
