I came across this video a week or two ago posted by an instagram account called “gymhardos.” I immediately stuffed it into the disorganized filing cabinet that is my notes app. Thank god I did.
Did someone build me an instagram account that does my homework for me? I feel like this is probably a treasure chest of material for TOTW. As always, it’s tough to say whether that guy is being serious. Flip flops, mullet, headband, and some sort of…dolly or moving cart? Idk what that thing is. But the bottom line is this – the guy has a full barbell set, wrist braces, and it looks like he uses chalk on a regular basis. I’d lean towards him being serious.
AAAANDDD instagram account included in the description. Thank you very much, @gymhardos.
It’s almost as if all these tools walked into the same bookstore and picked out a satirical book called “how to impress your friends” but they read it as if it was written seriously. Cringey selfies, videos of themselves lifting, and pics of fatty food they jokingly refer to as GAINS or BULKING SZN.
Calling his garage “Gas Chamber” in the location is hysterical. Was that a smelling salt rip at the start of the video? I don’t have anything negative to say here. I’m a big time salt advocate myself. #saltlife
That’s more like it. GTFO of here with that front squat. Let’s hit some DEADS. “Fat boy picks up bodyweight”??? Bro do you weigh 700 pounds? There’s always at least one video where these tools crack me up with their incredible feats of strength.
This isn’t so much of a tool move as it is a psychopath move. Did you just buy cotton candy downtown? I didn’t even realize that was possible. I thought cotton candy was exclusively served by meth heads at county fairs.
Dear lord how brutal of a post is this. If you can stare back at this picture straight-faced for 10 seconds you should be given a purple heart. Dude reminds me of Drake and Josh in a weird way where he’s trying to pose like the rapper Drake, but he ends up looking like Josh Lite.
Uncanny!
Serious question – why do all these bodybuilders lift in the absolute worst footwear possible? I’m not just talking about this guy. I’m talking about the 10+ guys from your hometown that post shit like this. They’re always wearing low cut vans or sandals or chuck taylors. Doesn’t anyone make a lifting shoe? Do I need to invent that? I’m really impressed with your quads bro but I’d rather not see you dislocate every bone from your shin down during your next set up hang cleans.
I’m not exaggerating when I say I’d rather sit through a 4-hour catholic mass than be within 100 feet of that group of people at a club. Over/under 90 minutes before one of them gets in a fight for hitting on someones girlfriend or mouthing off to a bouncer?
WOW. How much do I really need to say? That shirt is something else.
Let’s call it a day. I’m tooled out. Stop by next week to see if anyone can take the Tool of the Year Crown from Week #2 (spoiler alert – they can’t because no one ever will).
