I don't lift 6 times a week because i care about my health. I lift because i have a deep hatred for weakness and ugliness, and the gym is a place where i can symbolically sacrifice energy and time on the altar of an ultimate vision of strength and beauty. Health is a byproduct.
What's interesting is that this rock may have even weighed as much as 1000 lbs originally, but due to erosion it has become lighter over time.
What's also interesting is that the ancient Greeks are notorious for embellishing and over exaggerating their accomplishments throughout history.
really bro, you think ancient Greeks were power cleaning 1000lb rocks
If that was true the writing would be gone dumbass
And left the engraving intact? Also, absolutely not. Stone doesn't erode that quickly, even quite soft stone
I’m going to start writing my 1000lb+ lifts on small stones so I can mog future historians
you baited so many retards with this and I didn't even think it was bait because it seemed so self evidently a joke
unless "bybon, son of phola" was an ancient andre the giant with a pituitary tumor i doubt that
t. grecus
There’s no way erosion would shrink that stone by 700 pounds.
>eroded away 500 pounds of rock
>but not the quarter inch deep engraving
> hurr eroding can only happen on all sides even though obviously it would be lying on ONE OF THE SIDES thus being protected from erosion or the opposite depending on what it''s lying on
Are you stupid?
2000 years went by, not 200000 you dumbass.
Phola was truly fortunate to have such IST son
sparta reference
yes because people never lie about anything lmao. why do you retards believe ridiculous shit?
The writing deforms at the bottom because he couldn’t lift it up enough to write the writing in full
lmao
Combined for ease of future reposting.
beautiful anon, a fine addition to the IST image library.
Bybon made it bros.
He made it.
Hell ya! Let's lift in honor of Bybon today boys.

Why is Zeus seething? He frame mogs the mortal manlet.

if you want to gain muscle, you need to rest more
Mentzer gives the worst advice of all, fuck this fag
probably just butthurt you don't know what intensity means
You need volume and intensity, this retard says shit like
>Do 1 rep max once a week for max growth xDD
when he himself never trained like that
his programs got more and more sparse as he trained natties, as he found that they need more rest than roiders. Surprise, surprise. Most exercises are 6-10 reps a weight that gets you to failure in that rep range.
When you guys refer to intensity, what do you mean? Newfag here.
Higher intensity is basically more weight. If your 1 rep max in the bench is 100kg, doing sets with 80kg is a high intensity set
Thanks, bruv. I thought it was doing reps with more explosiveness or aggression.
Yeah it can be confusing but it's simpler than it sounds
It's not that at all. Intensity is how close to failure you go. If you do one rep at 90kg when you couldve done three, it's less intense than doing 7 x 80kg and going until failure. Just keep going until you physically can't lift the weight anymore (not the burn btw)
Say less imma rest for a few years before I do my next set
>5x5 killing me right now
>if you wanna gain muscle, you gotta take steroids, abuse amphetamines, and die at 49
God I’m glad he’s dead
The son of a man named Phola, Bybon was apparently a weightlifter of remarkable capability.
All these retards not even providing the full translation, god fitness twitter is the fucking worst. It reads
>ΒΥΒΟΝ ΤΕΤΕΡΕΙ ΧΕΡΙ [sic] ΥΠΕΡ ΚΕΦΑΛΑΣ ΥΠΕΡΕΒΑΛΕΤΟ ΟΦΟΛΑ
>Bybon, son of Phola, has lifted me over [his] head with one hand
>one hand
>I lift because i have a deep hatred for weakness and ugliness
ironic, because you are weak and ugly lol
you will realise it before the end. you probably already have, but you think you can excise it by hitting the gym. but in reality hitting the gym is just another form of weakness - avoiding the issue instead of confronting it.
i had a similar experience. i thought that i could just macho through my problems. but the reality is that the only way to fix problems is to actually fucking fix them, and anything short of that - no matter how much effort you put into it - is just an elaborate form of cowardice.
Smart
Lifting isn't even healthy. Don't understand why people actually think it is
So you lift for women huh
Bybon was an e-statting fraud.
Bybon is remembered 2000 years after his death. Will you be?
>faget haet weeknes
You hate yourself because you think you're weak. Don't project your bullshit onto the world.
ok bybon
i did this in my gym till the staff told me to stop writing "anon spilled his seed here" on all the benches
