There are times when you just have to ask yourself, maybe I should get on the juice?
This is my review of Outlaw Light:
Its true, you though about it. You sat there looking at your deadlift numbers and watching some freak like Hafthor Björnsson and assumed if he can get his deadlift over 500kg and you’re struggling to get even half of that…Clearly the problem is you’re not on steroids.
No, the problem is you’re not 6’9”, you don’t weight 400 pounds. That is why he not only has an insane deadlift but also that very adorable little wife.
I know what you’re thinking: “…But he’s still on steroids, though.” Pffft. Yeah he is.
This weekend marked the inaugural Enhanced Games in Las Vegas (where else). An athletic competition put on by tech bros offering athletes a payday and a chance to break every record on the books—whether they piss hot or not. The results of course were somewhat underwhelming and it didn’t draw a lot of attention. Only swimming, track, and powerlifting athletes participated, in spite of the objections from international bodies governing such sports. In the end only one record was broken. It wasn’t even an athlete on the gear either, it was a swimmer using one of those speed suits the olympics banned.
As for Haftor, he didn’t break his own deadlift record of 500kg, in fact he failed to lift 475. I don’t begrudge him, we all have a bad day from time to time. How is it possible that nobody beat the records?
It makes perfect sense if you consider steroids in baseball. They say everyone in the 90’s was on it, and it was to the point where you couldn’t get to the majors without it. Which means if you are in the 90th percentile of your sport, the juice will get you to 93-95 and get your foot in the door you arguably couldn’t get through. Where it really got interesting was when the 98th and 99th percentile players like Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, and Roger Clemens started taking it.
Nobody cares when a no name at the tail end of his career who couldn’t beat Usain Bolt anyways wants to mess around with the juice, they want to see what happens when Usain Bolt does it.
This beverage does not contain any performance enhancing drugs, unless you think yammering incessantly about your deadlift is worth enhancing. Its very light, and really makes no sense to me why one would buy it. Its watery yellow beer. There’s tons of the stuff on the shelf for it to compete with in a heavily saturated and shrinking market. Its fine. Its not one I am going to accuse of being piss, but I’m not going to applaud them for creativity either. I do want to know what they deadlift. Outlaw Light: 2/5 4.7% abv
I would think height would be a disadvantage in deadlifting.
Short torso, long arms.
It’s certainly a disadvantage to doing pushups.
I lifted my nearly dead ass out of bed today. I consider that a personal best.
Coda – got thrown off a horse yesterday and my 68 year old back was not happy about that.
Blame the horse?
Oh damn.
You break anything?!
I’m on week three of recovering after falling out of the back of a truck, don’t fall, it sucks.
It hurts when I do that!
5 years and I haven’t recovered yet.
Somethings take time or so I’ve heard.
Hey Buddy, stop doing that!
I hope you heal up soon
Blame the horse?
No, just an unfortunate accident. Barn-owner’s horse she wants to sell. Has someone looking at him on Monday so wanted him ridden (and my wife has ridden him before but I hadn’t). He backed into and tripped on the mounting stool and panicked. After I got back up, I collected him (he only went to the pasture gate), walked him around to calm him down and then got back on him and we had a good ride after that. Never want to set a bad precedent, for yourself or the horse.
Nothing broken but a little pride. I don’t come off easily, but as I was taught – when a horse wants you off its back, you’re coming off. Ibuprofen is helped, a lot.
i recommend whiskey.
Look at you showing off.
I thought baseball players were on amphetamines?
“shrinking market”
Less demand for lawnmower beer when everyone is sitting on their ass?
I do want to know what they deadlift
If they can’t, they shouldn’t be alive.
Better than Schlitz?
Meh, they already did these games back in the 80s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAdG-iTilWU
I would think that a guy like Halfthor would want his massive genes to make it into the future, not water them down with little people genes.
But that’s just me.
Intervention
Abdul Carter embraced Jaxson Dart after the New York Giants quarterback read a statement about his decision to introduce President Donald Trump at a rally last week. Then the young linebacker offered a rebuke of his teammate.
Carter called the situation “bigger than football” and explained he felt the need to call out Dart publicly for the decision.
“He not only represents himself and what he does, but he represents all of us and that goes for anybody who wears a Giants uniform,” Carter said Friday after an offseason workout practice. “If he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it’s my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I’m against that — but to show the world.”
Carter took to social media on Saturday to criticize his teammate after realizing a video of Dart on stage with Trump was real. Hours later, Carter said he and Dart spoke and were fine. Those posts have since been deleted.
Good men cannot stand by and do nothing in the presence of evil and hate.
Now do people like Megan Rapinoe.
PHRASING!!!!
Something tells me the wingnut wrongthinker knew exactly what he was getting himself into and will survive the condemnation coming from probably all of his teammates.
They need someone respectable as QB, like Deshaun Watson or Michael Vick!

Rub some dirt on it.
My wife has that patch – rub some dirt on it, everything stops bleeding eventually.
Trump has targeted the diversity, equity and inclusion programs that helped many Black Americans find jobs in both the federal government and a variety of private industries. He has called DEI programs “discrimination,” and he has pushed to eradicate them from the government and put pressure on the private sector to do the same.
Earlier this year, he posted and then deleted a racist video on social media that depicted former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, as primates in a jungle.
Thanks for clearing that up, AP sportswriter.
lol It is *literal* discrimination you r-tards.
not if they change the dictionary.
As for Haftor, he didn’t break his own deadlift record of 500kg, in fact he failed to lift 475.
ehm what?
