The Hardest Sport in the World

Posted on by

You know what? You guys don’t know shit. You don’t know what a hard day’s work is. You don’t know what it’s like to bleed and sweat. You don’t know how to dig DEEP, real DEEP, and get that last big of your SOUL and have it consume your nether region. You don’t know how to get a TASTE of the HARD work that is associated with being a champion. You don’t understand that to BE THE MAN, you have to BEAT THE MAN. This video teaches you a thing or two about training with a champion’s intensity. Take notes, you pile of shit.

  4. why was there no balance ball curls?

    nice touch with the popped collar and sadly/hilariously this is how about 80% of the gym goers at the gym I frequent work out.

    Now I won’t be able to stop thinking of this next time I see people barely squatting.

    Thanks dudes.

    It turned from multi-play training to Ken Leistner-esque style to gym goer boydbuilding to classic strongman stuff to fancy conventional fitness training.

  6. I’ve been in that room! It was just about that epic then as well.

    Also, it must be cold down in atlanta.

    We filmed that last winter before you came to that workshop. I just kind of forgot about the videos until recently.

  8. I would benefit myself as a human being by being more conscientious about my own behavior.
    Guilty of exaggerated breathing; exaggerating movements to the point of being an ellipse of an arse; and incorporating dancing and lip syncing into my workout.

    Dancing and lip syncing is part of me having fun, I will not compromise the fun aspect for anyone.

  9. That was awesome. I like the plaid shirts although a few yam-houses at my old college gym did wear them and the did run shit pretty hard.

    If you want to be real elite you should have gone into one of those thigh developer sex machines and grunted and squeezed that bad boy in. I saw that at golds almost everytime I went.

    Or curls in the squat rack.

  11. AC should probably try to incorporate more saliva with his horse noises, it would look AND sound more authentic, he was spot on with the eyes though.

    The camera was literally 2 inches from his face, so I told him not to spit on the lens.

  16. It is now one of my goals for this year to squat at the campus gym in a flannel shirt with a popped collar. I will have to get some short coach-shorts to go with the shirt of course.

  18. I just started throwing (HG) this year. I throw master’s class, and Texas is full of former champs who are now masters class. I don’t have a prayer of winning even after I start improving beyond “super sucky noob,” which is where I am now. But I can get PRs, and I can learn from the best while I do it. Without a doubt I learn more in one day of competition than in a month of training. And some of those are things you can’t learn in training (throwing front of a crowd, with only 3 attempts, for example). 

    And even when you don’t win, PRs can feel sweet. For example, back in April I nailed an 18′ sheaf toss on my third attempt, in front of a crowd of about 200, who were all sitting about 20 feet away. Dealing with the nerves and pressure and making the throw was a great learning experience, and gave me confidence for performance in other games. You can’t do that in training. 

    For anyone who says they won’t compete because they know they won’t win, I say: be a man (or woman). Stop being afraid to fail. Failing or losing and learning from it is one of the most important things you can do. Losing is the fuel you use to get better. 

  20. @vincelok – have you ever asked someone to stop dancing in front of the mirror with weights in their hand? I asked her politely, I have trouble lifting and laughing at the same time.

  22. In my effort in not to look like a jackass, I sometimes stop breathing in between reps of squats so I don’t sound just like the bromo who just did 7 variations of arm curls. A little extreme I suppose.

  23. The thing I see most often is whatever the movement is (usually chins or pushups) with extremely small range of motion. We’re talking a couple of inches. And lots of reps.

  26. If you end up doing a PNW seminar can you teach these awesome lifts? The frat bros always laugh when I don’t squat like that. No wonder, I’ve been squatting far too deep all this time, when I could get enough of a pump with 1/10th of the ROM!

    But seriously, going to spam for a PNW seminar til it kills me
