There’s a Strongman Competition Based on Conan’s Wheel of Pain

The J It's interesting that there's different you wear different ones for different events Yeah, so the pulling for the truck tire one you use a hiking ones So you're saying so this will be my first time using that typically we use rock climbing shoes Because real grip super grippy and especially like we're pulling on asphalt usually. Mm-hmm. So that'll dig into the asphalt These ones that I have from innovate now They're um, they they're like anti-slip and they have gripping treads on them So I'm gonna be using them for an event called the wheel of pain Coming up at the Arnold straw man classic. Oh, which is based off of movie Conan the barbarian Oh where you see him pushing that big bomb. Yeah, I'm at the implement So they actually rogue recreated that implement no way for the Arnold Yeah, if you can pull a picture of that it is the most badass thing ever Arnold It's like a three hundred thousand dollar piece. Oh, they even did it with the carving and shit, dude That's so cool wild so you literally just have to push it So those big wheels are filled with sand because they obviously don't want to make it too easy for us And you just have to push it in a circle as far as you can in 75 seconds. Oh, wow That's everybody looks fucking exhausted. Oh 60 seconds even better. It just hurts man Oh, it looks like it just is it's like I mean, you know like I mean you work out so it's like imagine even Doing something like a symbol is like rowing on an erg for 60 seconds just all out non-stop guys pushing with his head Yeah, so this last year was the first year they did this event And they changed the rules this year Where you have to keep your hands on the implement like that like Brian's doing right there because someone was just using their head Yeah, so they don't want anybody to do that anymore. It seems like that would crush all your vertebra Yeah, so you have to keep your hands on the implement at all times and push like that What a dope design though. I mean it really does Yeah, it's fucking cool. It's all carved out of wood to who built that fucking thing rogue They just hired artists to carve it rogue He's got the snails everybody they I mean any anything anything you could think of they're the shit They have people to make it their fucking echo bike is the greatest cardio machine thing that I've ever used best and worst Cuz it hurts the best but look at this fucking thing with the snake heads and everything Yeah, and you could see it rolling back when he let go and that's because there's sand in those big wheels So you have to push it against sand So now they have to deconstruct this and bring it back and put it back together again Cuz it's not like you could fucking ship and this is the this is the only contest they use it for They use it one time. He's using his shoulders. Yeah, he's Russian. What do you expect? Oh That is a crazy thing though. Yeah, you can kind of use your shoulders and push with your hands Yeah, so this will be the second time we're doing this event So they switch it a little bit have to keep your hands on the implement at all times and then it's just Push until you can't anymore. God damn. That's bananas. Look at that. Yeah So tired I Mean this is one of those events were like usually like the medics will come over like with oxygen afterwards Oh, yeah, it's crazy Yeah, and he's got that Russian berry on to so he actually he actually is in the Russian military, too Is he really he's like the Russian equivalent of like green beret So he's done. He does strong men. Yeah top of that. Yeah, that's a manly motherfucker. He's scary He's the next guy to come out. He's super nice, but you know guaranteed I Know he's probably killed some other so free Rob is so free. Why couldn't not be I don't think his English is that good. No, it's so bad Yeah, but they also I mean these Eastern Europeans are smart because they'll play dumb on purpose to not listen to the rules Oh, no, no, no, no, really. Oh, yeah, sneaky. Fuck. Yeah, like I don't know but they fucking know Yeah, how many Russian guys win it because you would think that would be a thing like Russian You think of strong people you think of Russians Eastern Europeans are always in the mix. Um, but honestly like Dominating across the board lately has been us Iceland And that's about it is it cuz we have the best steroids it could be might have something to do it Yeah, yeah, what kind of testing do they do? Yeah, they just look at me. They test us. Do they they don't tell us what for oh, so nobody gets in trouble No, I got caught for weed What well, I mean they said do you smoke I was like, well, it's legal in Massachusetts. So yes and so, okay. Yeah They're like, alright cool. I Mean they don't want us like taking coke or like, you know stuff like that. Yeah That's what I would worry about right? It's like someone getting on amphetamines. Yeah No, they do test for that like they test for like, you know prescription pills. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know about that You fucking get really strong on that shit. Probably be you'd probably rip everything. I was gonna say it'd probably break your body Yeah, you probably not you wouldn't know stand no boundaries at all. No, you just go I had a buddy of mine I've gotten a fight. He was on PCP and a dude bit off his finger He didn't even realize it now He has a toe that they took they took his second toe and curved it So he could still punch So if you shake his hand his right hand when he shakes you he's got the takes a new meaning to shake a leg His pointer fingers index finger is weird. It's curved permanently So he never he never has like a flat hand. That's like and it's his fucking toe. That's why yeah Yeah boxing my old boxing coach Wow Shout out to Joe Lake. Hey, but yeah, so yeah So like they don't want to take us like they don't want us taken like that kind of stuff, right? But um, man, it's pretty much that's it that makes sense Just because it's fucking dangerous to like dudes that have heart attacks like you push. Yeah that thing on me kind of it is It is wild You
