Nordic god-men hurl blocks of granite down sheets of ice with terrifying force.


Magnificent.

It just reeks of Canada, SST.

There's a curling rink on every other block...

Odin himself sent his finest Einherjar to Midgard to do battle with the humans it seems.

Norway has some babes too.

Britains women team won gold in it at the last one i think.

Foolish mortal. Curling is about mighty Nordic demi-gods doing battle on the frozen fjord, crashing granite boulders together with terrifying force. Not corn-fed Michiganders playing patty-cake.

Second best messageboard ever. Too bad Loki has such a poor taste in selecting moderators though.

One of the rare cases when the dead lift is being done right without the retarded inverse grip.

BTW, what is curling?

Its because he's executing a Romanian ("stiff-legged) deadlift.

I personally don't care for the inverse grip, but I am not going to be so cavalier as to call it "retarded". I know a lot of guys in the power lifting/strongman game who pull some serious numbers with a mixed grip...its just not for me.

It damages joints due to different amounts of force being applied to your arms: the one with your palm outside will tend to pull the bar stronger and such a non-symmetry damages your shoulders and even your knee joints. I know that power-lifters use mixed grip a lot, but it is not very healthy, imho.

The american women's curling team( the one with the target and the ice slickeners and the giant hockey puck not weightlifting) looked more swedish then the swedes...
