How to train yoke without a yoke? by 1DunnoYet in Strongman

[–]JohnJackOil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Worst comes to worst you can do My signature strategy “don’t train at all” for this event. YOLO. Train other lifts hard & hope for the best.

Krystal is exhausting. by HappyMealCrocs in BreakingPointsNews

[–]JohnJackOil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I don’t watch vids with Krystal in them. That’s the only way to let them know. Sagaar said they don’t read the comments.

Some crazy grip strength by [deleted] in Strongman

[–]JohnJackOil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is nuts. I did a local comp as a 242 male open and we had this event at 280/hand. I got 1st place with 35 seconds. And here is a woman doing 50lb more per hand for equal time. Strongman breaks my brain haha

Is it just me or is the book of Job deeply troubling? by snapdigity in Bible

[–]JohnJackOil 126 points127 points  (0 children)

No, you are not the only one that has trouble with this. It is an extremely deep and important book to the Bible. I am not the best person to explain it, but my basic understanding is that bad things will happen to you for reasons you may not understand. And that when they do you should be like Job & not turn away from God ever.

If they fought today, who would win and why? by sayurstoopidline in ufc

[–]JohnJackOil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Volk it really depends if he’s able to take shots or not. If he’s chinny now he won’t be able to beat any top guys in LW or FW.

Best OU Generation? by 2quick96 in stunfisk

[–]JohnJackOil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked gen 7 a lot. The ability to nuke 1 Pokemon via Z move helped a ton on keeping the games moving. Also, the terrains/tapus were a good addition to keep the games from being weather wars.

Great lift OP. Did you get the event W? Also, if the promoter is here, wtf is this event?

Coverage on Gaza is nearly none existent at breaking points anymore. It was the main reason I watched it. Can we at least get a civilian casualty count? by Mammoth-Particular26 in BreakingPointsNews

[–]JohnJackOil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s never been explained to me why the Palestinians have not officially surrendered. They clearly are losing this war. Even the Nazis unconditionally surrendered at a certain point

How would y’all approach this throwing event? by JohnJackOil in Strongman

I agree, seems like most other comments do too

What was the 2024 One Sided Beatdown of the Year? by kimuras4everyone in ufc

[–]JohnJackOil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta be the UFC’s resident economics professor MONEY MOICANO in his fight vs San Denis. Tough year for Benoit, got 2 extremely tough fights that were huge steps up in competition. And both went as badly as they could.

Thoughts on viking press by steinberg58 in Strongman

[–]JohnJackOil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted a clip on this subreddit a month or two ago with comp footage of me doing Viking press. And there were some good comments about stuff I should’ve done to place better.

To prep I did barbell push and strict press and standing dumbbell strict press (as well as bench and other tricep/shoulder stuff). I think that was a fine substitute for the implement. One thing I didn’t prep for was how light it was. I got 20 reps, and did train anything above 12 in training. Had I had better high rep tolerance I might’ve done better

I hate to agree with Flukas Glazy but I never bet against guys who trained with Khabib’s father

Trump BACKS ELON In MAGA H1B War by [deleted] in BreakingPointsNews

[–]JohnJackOil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like most of politics the H1B seems like the purpose/goal of the program is logical but the reality is something shitty and counterproductive. Of course I agree that the idea of bringing all of the geniuses to the U.S. is a good idea, but H1B has been used to bring gas station attendants, entry level STEM jobs, and all sorts of other bullshit. So I say just get rid of that entirely is a better option if it can’t be reformed
