make your haters your spotters at the bench of success

I’m missing some context here. Why were they even having a lifting contest to begin with?? Idgaf how much weight a politician can lift

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 65 points 1 month ago

The strongman politician is a proud USAan tradition

It's why they keep making pictures of Trump all roided up when he's a 78 year old sack of cardiac arrest

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

Also I am pretty sure in that pic Zohran has at least two plates on that bar. Adams clearly only has one.

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

Looks like one to me

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Idk, but this shit looks AI generated. Where is Adam's head?!!

[-] OttoboyEmpire@hexbear.net 42 points 1 month ago

mamscrawny

okay they actually cooked him

[-] prole@hexbear.net 48 points 1 month ago

Is this genuinely what passes for "cooked"? This is pathetic.

[-] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

some quality bullying right there

[-] HellieSkellie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah brother, right on up there with the elementary school kids bullying "Smelly Kelly"

[-] OttoboyEmpire@hexbear.net -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

🙄 this is a campaign for mayoralty of the Greatest City in the World, not an instance of childhood bullying.

zohran will come back punching, but hopefully will down some protein powder beforehand.

A lifetime of hard work

It must work up a sweat to have your aides remind Turkey that you need your first class plane tickets and luxury accommodations pronto for your personal vacay - opps, I mean business trip to benefit the people of New York City.

Also - the post is just 5/10

He should have given himself a nickname like MAYOR ERIC "McMUSCLES" ADAMS.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

A single 5/10 tweet and it's still more damaging than the entire Cuomo campaign's hit pieces on Mamdani combined

[-] OttoboyEmpire@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

? adams completely cooked him

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 32 points 1 month ago

User "Ottoboyempire" praising Adams

🤔

[-] OttoboyEmpire@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

[-] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

We love our Turkish Intelligence Agents, don't we folks feast-1 feast-2

[-] tricerotops@hexbear.net 40 points 1 month ago

Also bragging about a 1 plate lift lol

Mamdani looks like he's got 1 plate on the bar, adams looks like he's got 25 lbs plates on the bar

Either way the spotter is touching the bar in both cases so the lifts dont count.

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

I'm talking to whoever needs to hear this: you don't need to lift to make numbers go up. You can use the weight as a tool for ripping muscle fibers apart efficiently the same way a spoon efficiently gets beanis to the mouth. If you don't want to chase numbers, don't. Get your spotter's help, do 10 reps, use the weight that doesn't break your form, use machines, flex in the mirror.

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

and don't forget, if it sucks, hit da bricks! you can just leave!

[-] stink@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 month ago

IIRC there was a body builder who would do a bunch of reps with a low weight and still looked jacked

[-] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Allegedly Bruce Lee did that a whole lot, which made his muscles quite compact compared to other people who were lifting the same weigh. No idea how true it is, and the fitness space is so filled with misinformation that I can't even factcheck it.

[-] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 32 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Eric Adams despite his ephemeral way with words is not winning. Take the L asshole and do the world a favor by fading into obscurity

[-] john_browns_beard@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago

If those plates are 45s they're the smallest one's I've ever seen

[-] segfault11@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

it’s interesting how only one of them has people behind him

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

lolll eric adam more like eric GOTTEM

[-] machiabelly@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

The trumpification of politics

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago

Zohran go get some juice from Hasan

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago

Listen I lift a lot...... But wtf does this have to do with policy vegeta-stare

[-] RomCom1989@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

New York City is the Gainsville of America

[-] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

Zohran is finished

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

put the policy in the bag and shut the fuck up lil bro

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

i bet mamdani could outwalk adams. guy is all glamour muscles and bullshit.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

i forgot this dude is still mayor

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

Wrap it up, Mamdailures.

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

A lifetime of being a class traitor. Cool.

[-] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

which class traitor are you referring to?

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Adams since he's lived a long life and a large part of that was spent as a cop.

[-] dougfir@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

eric adams should make campaign appearances wearing those weird powerlifter bench press "shirts" that force your arms out like a t-rex, to own mamdani

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Eric Adams works out by pulling up the ladder behind him.

[-] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 month ago
