1060 pounds

Does being blessed by zeus count as being natty?

Don't you know this one greek dude that literally holds up the earth?

>tfw you will never deadlift 149.300.000.000.000.000.000.000pl8

nah man.

the greeks were not superhumans - there are billions of men nowadays from which the best of the best male physical specimens are drawn, and the strongest of them have the time, energy, nutrition and steriods to set the world record lifts we watch on YT, INCLUDING stone lifts. sorry but we are stronger now than we have ever been.

this is akin to "secret chinese beans can help shed 4% of bodyfat on one week!!"

Weren't built by slaves who were pushing them on fucking logs either.

he was ore squatting it
the Greeks actually lived in a culture where fitness was seen as a necessity. even eggheads like Socrates were disgusted by anyone who wasn't ripped as shit. It was more than just cultural, but religious, the Greeks believed that the Gods had very real very fit bodies and that, as they became more fit, they became closer to the Gods.
Nothing today even competes

>the Greeks believed that the Gods had very real very fit bodies and that, as they became more fit, they became closer to the Gods.

They certainly weren't wrong.

>Nothing today even competes

What part of
>and the strongest of them have the time, energy, nutrition and steriods

did you not read?

Give up your childish delusions and see some sense.

/fitlit/ general? /fitlit/ general

so what, because they're greek and because it was incomprehensibly long ago i'm suppoed to believe they had some kind of advantage outside of more nutritious vegatables and shit?

they had no steroids and no access to widespread empirical or scientific research. very few of them made a career out of it. i'm not denying that the average spartan and athenian aristocrat was in much, much better shape than the average labourer nowadays, but the greeks were nothing if not melodramatic, and their resources simply were not as conducive to strength gains as we have today. no one lifted a stone weighing more than andy bolton's deadlift; i'm sorry, that just never happened

gonna find a stone that weighs 481 kilos and inscribe that i lifted it. mfw it will spark a shitposting discussion on the neural subspace net of the 30th century

only thing missing is slaying boypussi

Philosophy is mental masturbation and is for brainlets

>implying philosophy isn't the basis for thought
>implying the greeks weren't polymaths anyway

>only 481 kilograms
*unsheathes enormous lever*

>Find stone that weighs 481 kilos
>Don't lift it
>Inscribe that you did
>Post on Veeky Forums and incite shitposting anyhow

But..but...muh obvious lies and puffed up egotistical trash?
The lying plagarizing narcissitic homosexuals of old who would never allow themselves to be painted drawn or stone photoshopped as unfit are nothing if not totally honest about things!!

Eumastas lifted few cm off the ground. Bubon on the other hand raised a 143.5kg boulder (cut so it would have a handle) over his head singlehandedly

*unsheathes abuse of physics to cheat*

>No GMOs/soy/estrogen pumped food and water.
I feel this post should have received more attention

*lasers your boat, home and family*

Also fun fact. Eumastas literally means good udder
t.greek

that's the general idea. this eumastas feller must be one of the first fitness trolls of human history. the equivalent to DOCTORS HATE THIS MAN AND HIS SIXPACK SECRET. CLICK TO LEARN MORE

eumastas probs; HIPPOCRATIC PHYSICIANS DEPLORE MY KNOWLEDGE OF ZEUS STRENGTH. ONLY 5 DRACHMAS PER LESSON TO LEARN THE SECRET.

>but the greeks were nothing if not melodramatic
this shit shaped greek art massively.

even bled into roman culture too, i remember reading in a book (possibly gibbons) that there were three pillars of glory to a general's victory - the victory itself, the witnessing of your glory by everyone present, and the display of your glory via a triumph through the streets of rome.

the greeks were even more obsessed with image and status, far beyond the instagram sluts we have today; their lives were impressing others. lifting a heavy ass stone seems like a fucking good way to do that.

you think that's impressive?

>"There are various accounts of an incident with an anchor that may have taken place in New York or New Orleans. French sailors apparently taunted MacAskill to lift an anchor lying on the wharf, which was estimated to weigh 2,200–2,700 pounds (1,000–1,220 kg)."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_MacAskill#Adult_career

So he was sippin on dat dere milk? abusing bovine growth hormone T B H

*prays FUCKING intensely*

your motherfucking life ends 30 moons from now

DYEL?

Kek

Then who built them user?
Ayylmaos?

You do realize that they are more inclined to embellish if not outright LIE about everything correct?

just good ole lead

>His three sons were Olympic champions. The oldest son, Damagetos, won the pankration in 452 and 448 BC. Akousílaos, the second son, won the boxing in 448 BC. The two celebrated their victory by carrying their father around the stadion on their shoulders, cheered loudly by the spectators. This was considered the peak of happiness that a human being could experience, achieving great glory and yet having this glory matched or even surpassed by one's own children. Legend has it that during >Diagoras' triumphant ovation on the shoulders of his sons, a spectator shouted:

>Κάτθανε, Διαγόρα, οὐ kαὶ ἐς Ὅλυμπον ἀναβήσῃ
>Kátthane, Diagóra, ou kaí es Ólympon anabēsēi
>Die, Diagoras; you will not ascend to Olympus besides

>the meaning being that he has reached the highest honor possible for a man. Indeed Diagoras died on the spot, and has since been considered the happiest mortal that ever lived.

>tfw you'll never make your father so proud he dies from joy

>the greeks were even more obsessed with image and status
Many ancient people were like that in those times

wasn't that the guy who lost a wresting match to a guy two feet shorter than him?

>he only has one lightning bolt

well yeah that was sort of the point of my post breh

Litteraly no one knows.
The whole aliens built it thing is to make even the notion that it wasn't hand built by slaves seems ridiculous and far fetched.

We have no fucking concept as to how it was done and we probably never will. Hell the fucking things were built when that part of the world was covered in water and greenery for fucks sake.

>one force acting on another
>cheating

user..

>pray till 200 favour
>question my existence until a colossus is purchased

Would you say using a lever like this, that can enable a child to lift a car, isn't cheating as well?

well user, who is more famous, archimedes or this stone-lifting dude?

>mythic age
>doesn't worship thoth

>dat elephant training speed

Namaste

you ever read the iliad? half the book is about people "lifting a stone so large, no two men alive today could lift it" (and then chucking it at someone)

>implying a phoenix is better than an avenger

midgol units though
and meteor

>metoer vs earthquake

any of you brahs got the chink expansion? is it worth getting?

no, I heard it was trash, unlike the new AoE II expansions

>isis vs any other major god
no, I just play with titans, heard this

>titans
do they actually do anything but spam turma or is this only my experience?

I don't know, nobody I play with is very good really, myself included

...

>413 and 321 lbs

Could Veeky Forums lift the Dinnie Stones?

I want to believe all of this.

I read somewhere that the modern man has 40% less test than his ancient counterparts.

Atlas holds up the sky, mindlet. The sphere he is depicted as holding is the celestial sphere, and is usually decorated with depictions of the Zodiac.

Holy fuck, this is more inspirational than any of the posters i've ever read.

Top kek

Can we please make this a thing now

I loled

Are there books on Greek Olympians and their achievements, legends, stories, etc.?

I'd be fascinated to read stories like this.

1THERA LMAO!!!

>very real very fit bodies
On veal, salad and wine? I think not

You read it on Veeky Forums. Use your brain. How would someone know the test levels of ancient men?

Yeah, sure... Source?

They were Chads and Staceys they wanted people to think they were eating and drinking like shit, but once they got home to Olympus it was nothing but brown rice, chicken breasts, and steamed broccoli.

Science.

Uhhh...pretty fucking easily. When my wife and her African bull were in between sessions of passion, I asked him how big the cocks of his people used to be back in the pre-slavery glory days and he stretched his arms out as wide as he could.

Ancient guys were fucking jacked.

Has to be true. How else can you explain the politically correct culture.

>let's just let ALL the savage refugees in! We'll give them money from our taxes, feed, cloth, and house them too! Also we'll have a day where we blow all the dudes!

WHAT IN THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN THIS WESTERN WORLD? THE SHITSKINS ARE JUST AS BAD FOR NOT STAYING IN THEIR COUNTIES AND FIGHTING FOR THE SOCIETY AND CULTURE THAT THEY WANT TO LIVE IN.

> how else can you explain the politically correct culture
Through complicated ideological, social, political and philosophical developments?

>Not ingesting heavy metals so you can lift heavier
Shiggy

Close, laws are why. As close back as 200 years ago (before the age of chemistry) If you had a problem with someone you could duel the to the death.
American President Andrew Jackson fucking shot someone over a dissagrement and everyone was cool with it. Julius Ceasar was stabbed to death by his constituents. In those days Immigrants not sharing our culture were treated as second class.

Now days you don't even need to speak the language to get free food to become an obese gluten with in your free home that you can watch boipucci in.

F.U.C.K T.H.I.S G.A.Y E.A.R.T.H

Has to be right to a large degree

And where do laws come from?

it's surprising you didn't get memed into the ground with this image during /fitlit/, but here

Machinefags are the worst.

> barbells are machines

In the US atleast laws are created by a majority vote of the people or the federal government so in current times that means a bunch of low test faggots.

wait, then shouldn't he be inside of it?

Well think about how easy we have it these days. Back then men had to actually do things to survive instead of just recieving free neet-bucks and watching japanese cartoons all day. Makes sense that you had to have a bit more testo to compete with other men

>tfw will never be a rock god

Cry some more, it entertains me

What? Why the fuck not? Ramps, levers and ropes. We know a bunch of ways they could've done it back in those days. It hasn't been a mystery how they _could_ have done it for years. We know the methods, but can't know which one they used.
>We have no fucking concept as to how it was done and we probably never will.
You're flat-earth levels of fucking retarded.

Was out of state on vacation during the /fitlit/ craze. Missed it.

Love you, babe.

That's it huh? You have nothing to contribute, no opinion of your own. Thanks for validating my opinion. Don't change, keep being a cum loving faggot. I love watching other fail while I succeed.

But not as entertaining as cuckold porn right faggot?

I'm not obligated to share my opinion with someone who is so butthurt about society that he has to rant in a fit-thread about it.
But yeah dude I'm the failure, totally

To be specific it's not the 'air'. There is the earth, the part below the firmament, and then the firmament itself, basically everything above the clouds is the firmament.

>JUST AS BAD FOR NOT STAYING IN THEIR COUNTIES AND FIGHTING FOR THE SOCIETY AND CULTURE THAT THEY WANT TO LIVE IN.
this is what pisses me off desu. we don't get the "cultured" ones, we get the cowards that refuse to fight for their homeland. probably trampled women and children on their way out. they're scum

He lifted it 1 centimetre off the ground. Impressive still
