Fwiw the French flag does absolutely nothing for me, people go on and on about how much they jerk off to it but I really just don't see the appeal. What do you guys reckon

"The Calcio Storico – ‘historic football’ – is an ancient form of football from the 16th century, which originated from the ancient roman ‘harpastum’, and is played in teams of 27, using both feet and hands. While things like sucker-punches and kicks to the head are prohibited, headbutting, punching, elbowing, and choking are all allowed."

Also Calcio Storico is extremely my poo poo and can't wait to see it live. There is a really good documentary in that thread about it. No rules (some rules) no substitutions, winners get the white cow.

That's a hoe

edit: also games like calcio storico were basically the football of medieval times throughout europe. Most big cities essentially had a brawl including a ball somewhere and competition between different parts of the city i.e different quarters of the city or university students vs apprentices etc. So cool that a fairly traditional version is still around though. I believe the Florentine version is teams from different city quarters.

I can believe it was a pretty good way to relieve tension between different social groups that built up over the year.

note: the goalie hertl scored that on, marty biron, was pulled right after and retired before playing another pro game

also the proper term for that move is the marek malik



e: note: malik pulled that move to win what was at the time a record breaking 15 round shootout

he was a "defensive defenseman", code for terrible scorer: 33 total goals in 691 regular season games

Question: why do they strap their wrists to the bar ? That seems like a safety hazard to me.

It's the opposite of a safety hazard. The muscles in the legs and back can get way stronger than the muscles in the forearm. After a certain point you need to start using that stuff. The other options are either torn muscles and ligaments or dropping the bar.

That's the best part of the deadlift: if you can't complete the lift, you just...you know, put it back down.

I would've thought that dropping the bar would be the safest option if you can't complete a lift.

The point of straps is that it lets you actually finish the lift instead of dropping the bar. Your legs are capable of lifting much more weight than your hands are capable of gripping.

In powerlifting, straps aren't allowed, so technically Benny's record still stands. Eddie holds the strongman deadlift record, though.
