[@oyuyuy]

Naa, he was just swinging and wrenching his bodyweight over the bar. I agree that Eddie's reps were short, but at least he's using the right muscles. And 'getting your chin over the bar' is completely pointless anyway. It's a back exercise, not a neck exercise.

[@justeatingchipsandwatching]

@oyuyuy I've been drinking so I'm not going to pull my punches. Shut the fuck up! Strongmen do not and I mean do not lift with good form. Their entire existence is based a moving shit from A to B. There is no quality in that. Now if if asked me about my admiration for Strongmen it is high, it is sacrosanct. But Eddie is moving weight in this excercise that mountain climber is moving mountains.

[@genericname3113]

@@oyuyuy Huh? Magnus stayed relatively straight. Eddie swung back as he pulled down. Ideally, you get into starting position, then you lean back, and you keep that lean the whole way up and down each rep. If you're swinging forward as it goes up, raising your ass off the seat a bit, then sorta sitting down and leaning back as you pull, it gets cheaty. It's what most people seem to do in gyms but it's not perfect form.

[@genericname3113]

It's not really 140kg though, but super impressive regardless. The lever where they put the weights is significantly shorter than the one on which they pull, so the "felt weight" is not 140kg but less. Those levers would have to be of equal lengths for it to feel like the actual weight.
