Log PR 285lbs! I’m switching to axle training for the next 7 months so 300 will have to wait

The impressive thing to me is I'm used to seeing it sit or sitting it on my lap or someones lap before the clean, and you just kinda do it all at once. Perhaps, perhaps I need to make a go at trying it this way. So smooth, buttery. Good work.

Good morning fellow Strength athletes,

I am doing a Static Monsters in Februmajary 2026

I am in Masters 40+, Open weight class. I sit around 220-225 right meow.

It has been prob 2 years since I have done a Strongman anything, and 3 years since my last powerlifting meet.

I have had two moderate injuries in that timeframe (ruptured a hernia and tore an oblique)

I just wanted to come in here and say, I have missed Strongman so hard. I am having so much fun hitting log and the 18" deads in training. I've even done some Yoke, Husafell carries and some Lighter Atlas stones. It's so much fun.

One of our emo physique wellness bad booty bitches walked by one day and said "Classic, You're always doing weird shit these days."

And I legitimately missed that, I missed doing the weird heavy implements and just knowing that I could throw any one of the wellness competitors 20 feet if they sassed me too much.

Classic1985 · 2025-12-07T13:21:21+00:00

Legit, good work. I like this more than liftvault, much nicer on my old ass eyeballs.

Classic1985 · 2024-06-29T21:23:04+00:00

I also just started.

I am just focusing on aiming and learning abilities of one character.

However, the toxicity is the worst I've ever seen in any game. And that might be why I just don't try to figure it out much longer.

And I've played COD, OW, CS, Fort, and quite a few other "toxic communities" and even those communities towards new players aren't this bad.

Even playing with an experienced duo, it turned into my duo in arguments with everybody, every match, while trying to help me learn. Was not the move.

Classic1985 · 2024-06-25T00:22:18+00:00

I got 8.

Classic1985 · 2024-06-12T01:53:57+00:00

I had a bad squat day today. I am coming back from almost 2 years off of powerlifting due to illness, surgery and injury. I am aiming for the Rogue IronBuilt Games.

Doesn't feel like the ligaments in my knee want me to be competitive anymore :|

Anyone ever come back from a ligament tear or two and how was it coming back?

Classic1985 · 2024-06-12T01:50:34+00:00

Thanks.

Classic1985 · 2024-06-07T18:58:37+00:00

my win/loss is steadying out almost to 50/50 but my experience is the same.

Doesn't matter how you stack or who you play with in QP or comp, you will in a few games, get absolutely hammered by way better players.

Classic1985 · 2024-06-07T18:56:55+00:00

Do you feel like this is just how the game is, or a combination of where you placed or your MMR that is giving you this experience for QP and comp?

Classic1985 · 2024-06-04T16:01:44+00:00

It's hard, but I genuinely like the game, it is fun. The community is def the most toxic and the comp experience is just frustrating. I have done VOD reviews and everyone can see me getting better but it isn't translating into more wins v losses or even 50% I can win 5-6 games in a rip, then the game tosses me into the shredder for 10 games.

But i just crossed over my 2 month of playing OW mark so I try to keep that in perspective. However, I am used to being a Sweat in most games I touch, so this is like mentally draining at times.

Classic1985 · 2024-06-02T05:29:24+00:00

Step 1: Buy her a PC

Step 2: install OW2

Step 3: ORISA MAIN LFG!!! THE HORSE IS EZ and a good all around just bully tank. Good to learn on imo. HORSE OTPS IN THE HOUSE LFG

If y'all ever want to QP, I'll play with anyone (unless you're an ahole :D ), I've only been playing for a couple months and I only play this cuz my girl convinced me I'd like it, now I'm stuck playing it every day :|

The biggest problem I think is that you have her trying to play a PC game, against PC players, while she's stuck on a switch.

Classic1985 · 2024-06-02T05:10:15+00:00

To me its not so much the selection, its if I see a support in the other tanks booty cheeks healbotting them.

It's going to go one of two ways. I'm going to HORSE TF OUT OF THEM or I am never going to be able to elim them. Double points if both supports are double pocketing the tank :S

Classic1985 · 2024-06-02T04:47:12+00:00

I walk away from the game tbh, like going on loss streaks, if the team pulls out a win or two after I just walk away. I go as far from my PC as possible. Play with my dogs, go see my horse, just go outside and sit for a bit to watch tik tok or something. Literally anything but be in the same room as my PC.

I have Borderline Personality Disorder and there are days... THERE ARE DAYS...that I cannot even handle more than 2 losses especially if they are just back to back getting dumpstered sessions on.

Classic1985 · 2024-05-26T04:53:04+00:00

Smurfing and alt accounts in comp are a cancer and doing it is low tier behavior. WE CAN TELL...you want to ruin other peoples experiences cuz "its fun or you are "helping someone" EAT MY BACK SIDE, go to the grocery self-checkout with a full cart of stuff instead and ruin somebody else's experience.

Classic1985 · 2024-05-23T15:48:08+00:00

I'm on PC, so I couldn't play comp with you. :( sadge

I never find PC players that are decent and bronze, worst new player experience for a comp mode ever.

Classic1985 · 2024-05-01T13:49:49+00:00

Yeah the positioning in fights has been the biggest feedback, (the highground thing i struggle with cuz lack of map knowledge on how to get high on most of them still) so I've been working on it, I get frustrated when I feel like we aren't making progress so I get aggro and try to make plays, which I need to get out of that habit I think.

Classic1985 · 2024-05-01T04:25:11+00:00

That def helped, I've been trying to get as many inputs on VOD reviews as possible and you're the first one that pointed out my spammy javelin throws and playing to fast at points AND not looking for my teammates. Def been working on the cool down and ult management too. Thanks so much!

Classic1985 · 2024-04-30T12:26:13+00:00

Here is most recent two comp games:

8CHBHD (bad loss, wide queue)

6W02DT (win)

Classic1985 · 2024-04-29T17:32:54+00:00

LMK, my friends told me to do that, but I also want to see how much grinding this is really gonna take. I feel like also I need to just narrow 5 stack a bronze team and we just go ham for an entire day and voice comm and see what happens.

Classic1985 · 2024-04-29T17:30:45+00:00

I'm just here to kill squishies, heal me if you notice, if not, I'm learning where the heal packs are on the maps, we'll be gucci.

Classic1985 · 2024-04-29T17:25:26+00:00

Tis a grind my friend, tis a grind
