Devon is lowkey quiet, calmly the most terrifying human being walking the planet. You absolutely do NOT want a man that can force himself to do 1400 push-ups to say that he is willing to break his arm against you and sink his teeth in and murder you in front of everybody..

[@50caliber29]

@@knightseriou3258 Mate, you have no idea what Alpha/Beta is. Recognising and conseding someone is Alpha does not make you beta. Part of being alpha is recognising & being so confident in your alpha status that conseding that someone like Devon is on an entirely different FUBAR alpha level does not make you suddenly all round beta. Yes, you are beta to that one individual who has skills & experience beyond most people's normal experience but as my dad used to say "you might be hard & can take care of yourself but there is always someone harder". Recognising that fact is alpha because beta's feel that way about everyone, they are so insecure they are subservient to pretty much anyone. Alpha's are confident & know they are alpha but recognise that top level alpha if you don't you don't survive the evolutionary process that selects the alpha.

[@thanostitan.infinity]

This push-ups story of Devon always motivates me to try giving few years to push-ups myself too and see where I end up. The thing was, my grandpa lived in poverty in village for majority of his youth, but was crazy about strength, but had zero things to train with or zero knowledge about proper training, hence for him strength meant push-ups and running long distances. (Although later he trained in boxing after growing up) He was an 80kg guy, and used to do 800-1000+ push-ups himself. Even my father has witnessed it (sadly by the time I grew up, he lost his endurance). It all makes me wonder if maybe I have some hidden genetic gift for push-ups too lol.

Devon is that classic warrior genotype. Some men are just born this way. Born to happily and willingly go out and face danger in order to make the group safe or conquer more resources. Just like there are different types of ants in the colony. Some are farmers, some are doing the child-caring, some are explorers and some are warriors.

[@DexterHaven]

One of my fave moments in armwrestling was seeing you yell "can-opener" in Pushkar's ear and then doing it. His ego was so big then. He needed that bring down reality check. You opened a keg of maple syrup on him that day.

[@danewoods4712]

@@anthonyw9129 500 in 8 mins, I definitely don’t want to doubt you. But those digits are very high. The reason I say I use to do roughly 110 in 2 mins in my military testing every 6 months. And that use to be at the top end of soldiers from my unit who we had roughly 550 people. So I can’t imagine doing this 4 1/2 times over. But I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say it’s possible. In prison I’m sure you are very limited and can only do them in spare time in the cell, and you don’t have to specialise in anything else. Just don’t be surprised that you will get many who doubt it. Anyways, all the best cheers 🍻

[@R3FRY]

If anyone can beat Levan it's Devon. BUT when you see that look in Denis' eyes when he watches Levan compete, you know this is no cake walk. Devon's clearly doubled his strength since Chafee, but Levan is Leva'ling up every year and it's scary to see a giant HGH-infused manchild curl nearly 300lbs. That's f***in' inhuman man. I gotta say Denis just needs a year or two to fill back out and he'll be eating both these champs for breakfast. He is the main guy I'm rooting for. Devon is just a monster on the table. He dominated Monster Michael Todd into submission that last championship and it was just amazing to see how Devon level up so many times in the past year. I'm just blown away.

[@Dmgolfer22]

Can you imagine Levan being gassed by round 3 and the match look like Devon vs Andrey lefty. Devon is gonna rub it in 10x worse though.

[@stompingpeak2043]

Wouldn't you? If you are in a David vs Goliath match and you win I know you're going to rub it in. Every puller on the planet would. Levan is a 400 pound guy that pulls 200 and 300 pound guys. There's never a real excuse for him to lose any matches. Dude is basically in his own weight class ffs. Since that weight along with strength is very tough to beat. If he leans back with all his weight and strength that's like trying to pull 700 pounds with one arm.

Turns out VO2 max training improves your capacitiy to do aerobic exercise but at a cost. VO2 kicks in as your cells transition past the Lactic threshhold, but it isn’t as efficient as the initial Complex I process. Someone with a high CImax will operate more efficiently. Possibly, high intensity intervals develop VO2 max. Possibly long, low-intensity training sessions develop CImax.
