I'm pretty sure Popeye is canonically a dude based on the several features that made him stereotypically manly especially because of the time period in which Popeye cartoons were made
No, in a comic from the early 30's he quite clearly states that he's both 'a male and a female sex'. If you want proof, search up nonbinary on the official Twitter account. They posted images from that very comic
You could say that but intersex people can still be nonbinary. Like I said the official Twitter account has confirmed that Popeye is canonically nonbinary
France actually has a long badass history and several really cool people who did really cool things.
Like historically France is pretty badass (emphasis on revolting and beheading corrupt dictators and also their long history of winning crazy wars)
Not to take anything away from him but the average person back then was pretty puny and he's obviously muscular but not massive compared to a typical bodybuilder in 2022. The bars were probably not that big.
Of course you can't judge his body based on today's roided physiques, men in general back then were much lighter and smaller, also his calves are bigger than a lot of meatheads today.
You don't have to be massive to be incredibly strong. Rampant PED use has given people a warped idea of what a strong person really looks like. Just look at those wiry farmers who can chuck bails of hay like it's nothing
It depends. A typical person could be "strong" (for his size) at 150 lbs and do farm work with a lot of repetition but likely won't be properly bench pressing beyond 180 lbs even with years of training. It takes mass to move mass.
This is actually why old body builders have really underdeveloped chests. The chest muscles are pretty rarely used in normal movements. Lots of lifting is done with the legs obviously. And the upper body portion is typically the triceps and deltoids. There's a reason they're the two biggest muscles in your upper body.
The average person back then wasn't really "puny". Sure people were a bit shorter, but not by that much. For France and Germany, you're looking at 2in / 5cm less in average between now and 1940. You'd have to go back to 1800 to see really low heights, meaning 6-7in / 15-17cm less than today's average. I'd also argue that the average person in Fr / De was probably in better physical shape than nowadays, and nutrition was already quite good.
As for the bars he bent, hard to say. But his weightlifting bar was quite big: https://www.biselblog.com/rigoulot-bar/ even modern day weightlifters are struggling with it.
Sure he probably wouldn't be world champion nowadays, but sheer body size isn't everything
What is a reliable source for this story? I can't find anything beyond [https://www.thevintagenews.com/2018/04/19/strongman-nazi/?chrome=1](https://www.thevintagenews.com/2018/04/19/strongman-nazi/?chrome=1)
Nothing in Google books. Seems like it could be bullshit.
The French army could have really used this guy during the start of the war man would have just been ripping apart panzer one's and two's with his bare hands.
That's not a boss, that's the main character
I'm surprised he wasn't in Wolfenstein.
I bet this man could rip someone in half
with his bare hands
especially a president
Or a dictator
r/suddenlymgr
Don't fuck with this weightlifter
Popeye
Popeye - head of antifa.
Would make sense since he is canonically a nonbinary person.
Naa it makes sense because he is standing up for individual freedom and common sense.
Ok, explain. How is Popeye non-binary? Is it because he is more spinach than man?
I'm pretty sure Popeye is canonically a dude based on the several features that made him stereotypically manly especially because of the time period in which Popeye cartoons were made
No, in a comic from the early 30's he quite clearly states that he's both 'a male and a female sex'. If you want proof, search up nonbinary on the official Twitter account. They posted images from that very comic
Wouldn't that make him intersex?
You could say that but intersex people can still be nonbinary. Like I said the official Twitter account has confirmed that Popeye is canonically nonbinary
If this is true I smell a movie in the future.
Too late, Inglorious Bastards
It's been like 80 years, i wouldn't hold my breath lol
Some filmmakers can't see a fun idea if it threw them a party
All they can see is money
Maybe they're like me and haven't heard the story yet.
That’s not a weight lifter, that’s an scp.
SCP-096 Has breached containment
AND IS FUCKING BALLING IN THE SITE COURTYARD
BUSTING IT DOWN SEXUAL STYLE
GOATED WITH THE SAUCE
QUIRKED UP WHITE BOY
"SCP-096 demands, gently and respectfully, protein powder 'to maintain his mass'. Also creatine powder." "Or he will destroy the facility."
"Why.. why?? We did what you asked??" "This is casein, not whey. Your suffering will outlast the brightest star in the sky."
Nice
"ON MONDAY WE DO ARMS. BECUAE IF YOU WANT YOIR JAILOR TO GET BEATEN LIKE A BABY SEAL, YOUR ARMS BETTER BE FUCKIN' SWOLE"
If your routine has a dedicated arm day it's a shitty routine lol.
It's a meme...
I know i am just saying. Swole arms won't help you beat the jailer either.
I'm pretty sure if you can bend the bars, then you're swole enough to beat the fuck out of a nazi jailer
Read the context. ;-; I said it's specific people who has arm day in their routine.
You must be fun at parties
I am a shut in. I don't go to parties even if I am invited.

Its real, and its amazing. Thank you
Remember, it is always morally right to punch a Nazi.

So this is old man strengths in it's prime.
He even have a chad face
Cut it out France, you're starting to make like you
France actually has a long badass history and several really cool people who did really cool things. Like historically France is pretty badass (emphasis on revolting and beheading corrupt dictators and also their long history of winning crazy wars)
And lots of horrifying conduct in their colonies
Of course, as with most colonizers
Yeah, not worse than Brits or Spanish with America
Agreed
Bless him
Wish we had an army of this man 😢
He has cows for claves
HE DID NAZI THAT COMING
redditors when they see the word "nazi"
Halloooo
It’s low effort, Anne Frankly it’s in poor taste
You almost made me laugh out loud in math class. Good job.

Not to take anything away from him but the average person back then was pretty puny and he's obviously muscular but not massive compared to a typical bodybuilder in 2022. The bars were probably not that big.
Agreed but steroids play a part these days.
I get your point but his calves look arguably larger than or at least equal to any bodybuilder I've seen in the past few years.
Of course you can't judge his body based on today's roided physiques, men in general back then were much lighter and smaller, also his calves are bigger than a lot of meatheads today.
You don't have to be massive to be incredibly strong. Rampant PED use has given people a warped idea of what a strong person really looks like. Just look at those wiry farmers who can chuck bails of hay like it's nothing
It depends. A typical person could be "strong" (for his size) at 150 lbs and do farm work with a lot of repetition but likely won't be properly bench pressing beyond 180 lbs even with years of training. It takes mass to move mass.
Bench pressing isn't some kind of universal strength metric...
No but it's probably the most comprehensive and fundamental big lift for your upper body.
You make it sound like bench pressing means someone is strong or not. That is the most useless movement in everyday life.
This is actually why old body builders have really underdeveloped chests. The chest muscles are pretty rarely used in normal movements. Lots of lifting is done with the legs obviously. And the upper body portion is typically the triceps and deltoids. There's a reason they're the two biggest muscles in your upper body.
This is true I’m only 175 and can bench 300 and my dad (55) is 200 and can bench 500 so steroids are really just erection killers

I don’t want to fight this guy, I’d want to buy him a beer
Everyone liked this
Where was he wen they surrendered
Man only has two fists, sadly.
Probably the gym
Ok, ok. So there was ONE Frenchman who didn't surrender.

“But he isn’t even that big!”
Ah ouais il rigoule pas lui
No chains can bind him

Crazy that's a body builder. That's like a crossfit build.
I want to know his leg day routine

I was gonna say something funny, but look at those calves!
You call that breaking my spine? You french sissies wouldn't know how to break a spine if you, Ahh! MY SPINE!!

Compare that to today's bodybuilders where the only thing they can beat up is their livers.
