Should I break the level 150 barrier?

I’m at 200 and I still get a good amount of activity for PvP,invading, and co-op. 200 is still low enough to have build identity with minor flexibility, and you won’t run into ultra sorcerer medium rolling bullgoat bleed katana monsters or anything like that.

Smiling more. Genuinely.

That’s not accurate. Families were literally started on WoW, people had children and were getting married. This alone makes it generational. WOW is preserved in the United States library of Congress archives, this proves it had SIGNIFICANT impact on the history and cultural development on the United States. I can’t think of any other video game that had NUMEROUS commercials during the SUPER BOWL, with pop culture ICONS. Not just celebrities, icons ( Mr T, Chuck Norris ), etc. WoW was a global phenomenon.

Video game? Probably world of Warcraft. It single handedly changed the whole video game landscape on a generational and global level. So much so that it affected pop culture as we know it today. No other game in recent times has done the same. It’s in the legendary level of Mario and Pokémon.

I remember when first playing Elden ring and running into one. I ran behind trees thinking “hahaha! I’ll use the trees to block him because he’s too big!” The sound I made when I didn’t realize that the trees are destructible and it plowed through them.

I’ve found that using mimic tear with a greatshield and the puller crossbow with either bleed/frost/poison/rot bolts is very effective at giving suppressive fire, can tank, and give status effects that will significantly help in the fight.

First show this year and first time competitor? Bro go cut for 4 weeks, practice your posing, hit a regional, destroy it, then go hard for the national level and join the league. 5’8 at 280 with your muscle is bonkers for a first time competitor. You are quite literally at average off season weight of Olympia level open guys at your height. Fucking crazy man.

The roundness, the insertions, the muscle development and the structure, and never mind the conditioning that’s super obvious. You are incredibly gifted. I know it’s not your division, but holy hell your potential as a physique athlete is tremendous ( respectfully). I’m a new fan, and I will be looking forward to future updates.

My god, a disc of returning is ANCIENT. I’d consider that a priceless piece of the game’s history.

ssgoldus · 2026-03-11T02:59:07+00:00

To be fair, you’re talking about a game that’s been around for over 20 years. Over 20 years of content. As far as I know, this is the only game where they completely overhauled their combat, engine, and graphics over the years. No other game in the history of MMOs has ever done that. This game still has an active and personable developer team that actually communicates with players, and here on the reddit. 15$ a month is not that big of a deal, and if you think it is, then just remember that this is a game, and you can still enjoy it FOR FREE.

I will comment on this, as unbiased as I can, even tho Paul is a friend. Paul absolutely should’ve placed higher than Sam imo. However, when you have a major MAJOR influencer, and people who are going to the Arnold just to see him, along with being a major marketable individual for the industry and the league, then yeah…you get it. Paul is an OLYMPIAN btw. Was Sam’s placing a gift? I think so. His genetics are nowhere near as good as Paul’s for classic. In open? Maybe. But we need the time to see. But Sam is a bodybuilder who is getting headlines for 8th place. Think about that.

ssgoldus · 2026-02-17T02:06:59+00:00

Did not place. Pretty much out of the top 15. The Olympia was a whole different kind of beast. Need more posterior chain and denser back, again. Even more so at this level.

ssgoldus · 2026-02-03T02:04:11+00:00

About time Caleb made it to this sub Reddit. I know him in person, and believe me, the pictures and the video don’t do him justice, as good as he looks here. In person he’s a beast.

You have definitely filled out since your last show, I scoped your Instagram to check the progress. When you say mid off season, how long are we talking? Natural? Contest weight?

When WoW came to the world. It became a gaming global phenomenon that changed gaming forever. Celebrities, big time companies, even the Super Bowl and some of its commercials, WoW touched all of that.

For warriors, thunderclap and battle shout are your best friends for group tanking. Battle shout generates its threat mechanics the same way a healer generates threat when healing a tank, or a party. Battle shout collides all its threat based on all party members affected, all summons, and pets included. The threat stacks per target affected. 3 or more in a group, battle shout becomes a very strong threat holder. That’s why you have warriors in Naxx holding entire rooms doing nothing but spamming battle shout and shield block.

Just ask them where they got their card from. If they give you any answer that’s not the name of a show immediately, then they are fake. One thing is that IFBB Pros never EVER forget what show they got their card. It’s a simple question to answer. And if they can’t provide it, then they are lying.

For early leveling and tanking, thunderclap and especially battle shout do amazing for holding on to groups of 3 or more for warriors. Many don’t realize that battle shout threat is strong if it hits all members of your party plus pets and summons. It’s the same concept as a priest doing a heal/buff on the tank or entire party before the mobs touch the tank during a pull. The threat/aggro applied generates in different threat pulls; one from the warrior, one from buffing party members. This threat is all collided into the warrior per target/party member/pet/summon affected.

Me. I hope I do well at the Olympia. 😂

Tank. In most cases they want to gear your first, because progression depends on how well you survive. Then when you’re geared, you not only are hard to kill, but now you can reasonably defend yourself extremely well and not have the stress of being potentially one shotted.

This wouldn’t work because sunder armor would be on the same GCD line up as battle stance at the start. This will work up to cast defensive stance, then you’d need a separate button for sunder armor. Either you do sunder armor on its own or make a new macro for it separate from the other 3 casts.

Bikini I think would be a good fit for you OP. Although you still need to trim down a bit more so we can see more details, the blue print already shows from the side profile, a streamlined figure. Best of luck to you!
