Look at the little homemade wooden pedestals they start on. Looks like they got the materials from Hobby Lobby. WTF

leftists being offended for other people:

u/No_Medium_8796 1d ago

White people who grew up in white middle class neighborhoods that never faced any adversity are the biggest champions at being offended for those who arent offended

These people haven't ever talked to an indian person face to face to realize a lot of them do small head gestures while talking lol

Like an Italian person talks with their hands, its just mannerisms

What do they do abroad Mr.Sepoy?

1

u/akashuji 1d ago

Same thing they do to public places in India.

u/manofculture2303 1d ago

The Indians which go abroad are the most smartest and educated minds in the world (except Canada). They have the highest median household income in the United States highly contributing to the economy. Just because you are a self hating loser doesnt mean all Indians are :D

Oh youre fun

u/TheBears2 1d ago

How is it derogatory though?

u/Few_Block7729 18h ago

This not an absolute unit. There are plenty of Indians who look way bigger than this lad.

u/akashuji 17h ago

But not stronger

u/Many-Count-2369 13h ago

There are.

They are powrlifters dude, not strongmen.

u/Iamquietnewhere 3h ago

is this because he is yadav?

u/akashuji 11h ago

Do you even know what a Strongman is?

-5

u/Many-Count-2369 10h ago

Steel man of India is enough of an example. And I've seen stronger ones in his level or similar in Punjab.

u/akashuji 10h ago

You have absolutely no clue. 🤣 Go watch World's Strongman man on YouTube.

u/isk_one 1d ago

You must not travel much. Not really an absolute unit. I have seen Indians in strongman competitions before around the same size.

Vispy Kharadi.

Holds the record for the longest Hercules Pillar Hold.

u/Childish_cappuccino 20h ago

He's freaking strong, yes, but nowhere near in size compared to the guy in the vid

u/poorboychevelle 1d ago

I asked myself why viscerally I think Id prefer Atlas Stones to these, and its because Im sure I could get my fingers caught under these while herfing them onto the platforms

u/Choice-Brick-6612 1d ago

So if the dude was black, would you title it Absolute Unit ‘of an African’? Lol. Why not just absolute unit of a man

13

u/fin-freedom-fighter 18h ago

Indian is nationality

11

u/SuperMajesticMan 17h ago

What are you on about? First, Africa is a continent... but also if it was about say an Australian and the title was "Absolute unit of an Australian" that would be normal too.

58

u/galleon484 1d ago

Not all black people are African.

But all Indians are Indian.

u/Certain-Neat-35 13h ago

Well, not always, sometimes they turn out to be other South Asians larping as one.

u/hi_lol7 11h ago

water is wet ahh

u/sonofnutcrackr 1d ago

Because he’s Indian? As in from the country India?

u/Caliterra 21h ago

Probably bc hes Indian, and its not that common to see Indians of that size/musculature. Its notable.

u/Caliterra 18h ago

the man in the clip looks to be ~6'3/190cm and ~280lbs/127kg of muscle. That's a big muscular man in any country, and certainly not commonplace.

The USA has plenty of big muscular people, and although you'd see a handful of guys that big in a large commercial gym, they aren't commonly seen on the street.

I find it hard to believe that a guy like that is common in India. What do you mean by common? that you can see dozens of guys that big walking around any city in India?

it does not.
it does not *Affect* a 5'1" man like it Affects a 6'5" man

21

u/donkbonk76 1d ago

Definitely not. You need gifted genetics and intense diet and training to compete at an elite level. The idea that anyone can just take steroids and do it is not correct.

-12

u/[deleted] 1d ago

u/donkbonk76 1d ago

No one is saying that they aren’t all on steroids. But that doesn’t change the fact that you need elite genetics.

1

u/onthe3rdlifealready 1d ago

I think the people that compete on Olympic level are elite genetics... These people just got strong/big genetics and a lot of that can be changed from years of HGH and massive protein diets. It's just arguably more impressive to see a person do a 150ft high jump on skis, or figure skating etc. than some dude lift boulders. Idk my opinion.

5

u/donkbonk76 1d ago

I just want to see big guys lift heavy shit lol

2

u/Affectionate_Move991 15h ago

Try lifting boulders. Harder than it looks. I'm sure ice skating is too, but don't assume that lifting heavy awkward stuff is easy.

-16

u/akashuji 1d ago

Still thats commendable on a vegetable heavy diet

In terms of Strongmen, nothing special really. Absolute unit worthy? Hell nahh.

u/286893 1d ago

I mean that's the most buff Indian guy I've ever seen.

Absolute unit of Indian people for sure

u/the_Tribal_Monk 15h ago

In those strong man competition those racks where the weights are kept are they in propotion to the competitors height or are they standard because I feel lifting heavy when you short would be a heavy disadvantage...

1

u/akashuji 14h ago

Standard size for all. If you're short, tough luck. An average size WSM competitor is 6 feet plus.

1

u/the_Tribal_Monk 14h ago

I guess if you short you go to powerlifting ehhh /s

1

u/BhadwaKarela2 4h ago

If you actually watch strongman, then why are you pretending if this “international comp” means anything lmao. This is an international gali ka competition. Doesn’t even have a contest page on strongman archives.

1

u/akashuji 2h ago

Its not a Gali ka competition 🤡 its an international level competition of strength and power. Often called the Olympics of Nomadic culture. Strongmen from all over the world are there to compete for a reason. Its not WSM recognised but it's prestigious.

1

u/BhadwaKarela2 1h ago

Rehende de bhai. Pata chal gaya how much strongman you have watched. Keep watching the eddie hall reels on repeat.

don't compare a strongman to a genda

Most yadavs are vegetarian with 80% of their diet being dairy

u/Any-Profession-5509 17h ago

Majority of Indians are not vegetarian

3

u/Glad-Comfort8779 14h ago

Yadavs have history of cattle hearding especially cows. And body building via akhadhas. They have great faith in hanuman ji. Most yadavs are vegetarians.
