Donnie Shankle is seriously becoming one of my idols. His strength is almost unbelievable. And I don't mean this as an insult, but he does not look nearly as strong as he is. I bet he could out-perform someone like Mariusz Pudzianowski in the C&J, at nowhere near the size. The man is a weightlifting God.
@Silvurado wow really? An athlete training in the olympic lifts would outlift an athlete training in strongman? Cmon both athletes are great in their respective sports but your comparison is apples to oranges.
@33FrancCt Lol don't get your panties in a bunch. I was just saying that Donny is much stronger than he looks. A man of his strength would typically look more like someone like Pudzianowski was all I was saying. Chill breh.
@Silvurado they are to different sports you knucklehead you cannot compare. they are both great at what they do. well shankle is getting good i wouldn't call him great.
@Silvurado No. Jon North is strong guy, but routinely distinguishes himself as a world class douche. This is a well known fact.
Also, get off Shankle's nuts. He's strong as well...but idol??? C'mon, man. Are you 12? You have idols? You are well suited for defending people who neither know or care about you.
How many sessions is Donny training a week now? Wasn't he only training 3 days a week not too long ago? Is that still that case? Would greatly appreciate a response.
ho-ly-fuck donnie is strong as fuck

Dcgusto9 1 month ago
@Dcgusto9 Training from blocks allows you to focus on the 2nd phase of the pull (the pull that occurs after the bar passes your knee)
