Tom and Luke Stoltman are from a tiny town of only 3000 people called Invergordon where I live. They're incredibly genuine, authentic and down to earth lads and the people here are so proud of what they've achieved. My son has autism and it's so heartwarming to see the adversity Tom has overcome to get to where he is, and how Luke always speaks so highly of him to build him up (as does Tom speak in the same way about Luke). They're well-loved in the area and don't act like divas or celebrities with an attitude, just salt of the earth lads with a wonderful and positive inspiring vibe they bring everywhere they go. Great fellas.

[@silverladderAZ]

@@SRX33 I got the idea they were more talking about splitting wood to provide heat in the winter (not everyone has electricity everywhere), to cook on, etc. rather than deforestation. I don't see the ability to chop wood as "toxic" masculinity in any way. Then again, I may have misinterpreted that statement.

[@sonicportal7375]

@@SRX33 I think the point is more that, as divorced from the real world as we seem to be, we are still animals. We are still biological creatures with a physical need for activity, to be healthy. There is nothing healthy about spending so much time sitting at a computer that your spine literally deforms, your muscular development withers from disuse, your cardiovascular fitness is untrained, etc. All of that stuff matters, A LOT. And for as much as we discuss toxic masculinity in our culture, there is also something to be said for toxic immasculinity. It’s not necessary for most of us in our modern world to chop wood, BUT should you have the physical ability?? Yeah. You should. If you’re uncoordinated and physically unfit that you can’t, you’re surely going to face detrimental physical health consequences in your future. One of the best predictors of all-cause mortality in elderly is grip strength. Think about that. I think that’s what undergirds the sentiment from these guys. It comes out as “you should be able to chop wood and protect your family from evils”, but really it’s even more practical than that, to me anyway.

[@tommills9006]

I second this motion. I wanna see Andrew interview Kai Greene.

[@jaeden1132]

Fuckkkk yes Mr Olympia coverage from Channel 5... that'd be a dream come true. The journalism around it is so fake. The one coverage I always loved was luimarco. But he doens't do much anymore. Thatd be amazing

[@kyleinwisc]

Yeah thats a super strange/weird subculture and event thats kinda up his alley

[@humdinger5701]

What I always really liked about strongman is they all genuinely root for each other to do well. How often in competitive sports do you see that?

[@cheshirecynic3061]

I've noticed it's actually a lot more common in extreme sports where the athletes know they're in a specific niche and massively respect the strength, agility, or other skills required to do certain things. Like, my ear's not glued to the ground or anything, but I don't remember the last time I heard about beef between skateboarders, BMXers, or motocross riders.

[@pyxidus_]

@@cheshirecynic3061 This is true. I’ve noticed that most “individual” sports are always the most humble. As an ex cross country/track athlete and boxer I can attest that everyone around me was so respectful of opponents, and made those around them feel special even if they were struggling. It’s the team based sports that show poor sportsmanship, which I think speaks numbers about how people are

[@cheshirecynic3061]

@@pyxidus_ I think a lot of it has to do with clan mentality, like, many people that play in team sports tend to develop a universal "us vs them" attitude, whereas most people in individual sports and hobbies just have respect for anybody as crazy as they are, anybody who's willing to put in the same level of effort and dedication to their craft.

[@dylanjordan4747]

@@cheshirecynic3061 I think there’s still an us vs them mentality in individual sports it’s just the us is the entire sport not just singular teams. I’ve noticed skiers and snowboarders don’t really get along but will both be super cool to the people within those respective sports (mostly snowboarders) same kind of deal with skateboarding and bmx

Man y'all tell me why my manager keeps getting on to me about taking a break. I work at Wal-Mart after being retired for 10 years. I don't know what y'all kids be talking about these days and the CSM keeps telling me to take break but Idk what that means. One day they take me back to HR and say I need to be shown how to take break so they start clapping tf outta my checks. The CSM then said my turn I'm finna break one off in you. And my guts been spilling out ever since. I can't even play pickup at the Y because when I jump my booty hole catches the wind like a umbrella and it takes me forever to get back on the ground. Anyways, is this normal. We did some SUS things back in the day but idk about this. I'm a black man in my 50s btw.
