Its too easy when a mega corp is sponsoring your life to lift weights. Average people dont have enough time to get to a 135 bench press. ****s boring

Weight Lifting, an Original Olympic Sport, May Be Dropped

Lifting’s international federation has failed to fully address concerns about bribery and doping. If it doesn’t, the Olympic committee may eject the sport from the Games.

Stongman is the only popular mainstream strength sport that gen pop may be interested in.

Strongman is the only strength sport that requires brute strength... WL and PL = technical strength

The US doesn’t do well in this sport and that is what dictates what sports are featured during broadcasts. You don’t see a lot of judo either for same reason.

To much crossfit influence so no one cares. Plus too technical for an average joe to even bother let alone wanting to up weight without learning technique.

Strongman is just a different level, these fukers are just built a lot differently. 6 foot plus weighing an excess of 300lbs. My god, look at Brian Shaw, that dude is just massive.
