"Strongman" in one word is not to be confused with "strong man". A strongman is an adept of a strength sport born in 1977 (the very first World's Strongest Man) and that now has athletes all around the world. A strongman competition features different events that all test the athlete's strength and stamina in a great variety of ways. It may be to walk a certain distance carrying very heavy handles in both hands (farmer's walk), to pull a truck, to lift round stones on podiums (the atlas stones), to press an axle or some other implement overhead for a max single or max reps... There are many more kinds of events. You also see standard barbell lifts, often the deadlift, done for a max weight or max reps.
The strongman needs to be extremely strong in the basic movement patterns, sturdy enough to endure the relentless, cumulative punishment of several taxing events done over the same day or even two days in a row, and fit enough to perform well in a fatigued state. The media give more exposure to the giant men competing in the World's Strongest Man, but there are different weight classes. And there are competitions for strongwomen as well!

I had been lifting for about two years when I stumbled into an ad for a strongman meet. I went over there and had an awesome day, carrying, pulling and dragging very heavy stuff. I caught the strongman bug there!

Get the strongman mug.A guy that will describe how he died in detail while u try to listen to footsteps. He speaks blasphemy. He smells like a turnup. Takes 100 snipe shots hits one and says he's basically chris Kyle. Man gets crossed by anyone in the court and is always last picked. We only keep him around because his cousin Peyton is pretty chill so we have to tolerate him. He's basically a 5 head.
This a strickman65 might say:
Trev you never get on
This game is terrible
This game is the best
I'm always right
Kyle korver was never good
Rap is trash
If you kick me I will block you!!!!

Get the Stinkman mug.A logical fallacy where someone unintentionally or purposely twists something someone else says during an arguement. It is mostly used on purpose by oversensitive snowflakes who distort something someone is saying to fit their own narrative or they can begin an argument of their own.
Person reads that an individual passed away due to complications of covid-19 on the media.
Person 1. That person was over 80 and had underlying health conditions.
Person 2. So it's ok for old people are people in ill health to die of covid?
Person 1. Now that there is the classic strawman fallacy. I didn’t say that, I was just stating the possible reasons why he/she passed due to covid-19.
