@@calatianupriser I believe for strongman events your "prime" age is around 35. Unlike other sports a large limiting factor is just how long it takes to put on this kind of muscle, and your endurance isn't as important as say tennis.

[@vicentesalasii1480]

This is the most toned, defined and lean I've ever seen Martins. It almost looks like he's taking a page out of Pudzian's notebook and balancing sheer mass and size with aesthetics. It could also be the stylistic exchange between he and Juji since they're close friends and training partners. Maybe as Martins gives Juji strength tips and Juji experiences strength and power gains, Juji gives him bodybuilding tips and isolation training for more massive and ripped arms.

I really liked the line-up of events on this comp. Seems well balanced to me. You can't just be a static monster. You can't just be quick, and you can't just be technical. The winner can't have great weaknesses and Martins nailed that. Only suggestion is to add a squat for reps or a grip/hold of some sort, but hey that's just nitpicking. Great work Rogue! P.s. love Uncle Loz on commentary

[@RageDirtyIrby]

Uncle Loz is perfect for this! 💪

[@j.gilbert429]

Good points! Maybe a farmer's walk into a squat for reps would have been better than the yoke into log, but Rogue likes to show off their implements.

[@djhenyo]

@@j.gilbert429 If you are combining two different events then they should focus on different muscle groups. Hercules hold going into squats would make more sense because grip/arms act as the main drivers in one event and stabilizers in the next.
