It seems more like the little-boy-o-sphere. Who over the age of 15 is following these performative preeners who spend all day at the gym? Tough men lift steel, not iron.
- eudamoniac 9mo agoWhat does this mean? Barbells are made of steel
- mindslight 9mo agoThe bar is made of steel, the weights are made of cast iron. Steel is stronger, hence its use for the bar that must withstand deflection. Tools and equipment that are used to get things done are mostly made of steel, as the primary thing they need is strength.
- eudamoniac 9mo agoI thought you were wrong, but it turns out a lot of cheaper plates are indeed iron. Bumper plates used in weightlifting, the kind I normally use, are steel though, which explains my confusion.
- mindslight 9mo agoWell then, it sounds like you can adopt my slogan even within the context of weightlifting. The way I see it, I only need to be able to deadlift things like jacks, chains, SSQA fork frames, etc.
