Squats: A Cure for Cancer? (Satire)

Here's a funny video about how squats can cure cancer, as told to a young man by a powerlifting robot.

WARNING: Contains potentially offensive language and is somewhat negative towards bodybuilders and powerlifters at the same time (which I didn't think was possible).

For whatever reason, I couldn't save this post yesterday with the video included. Here's my 8th attempt -

Standing Nilsson Curls

Here’s one you may have never seen before — the standing Nilsson Curl. It uses your bodyweight, with your arms braced against a barbell, to do what at first appears to be a chin-up.

But it’s all biceps! The beauty of the standing version is that you can spot yourself (i.e., lift with your legs) to get in enough reps. In fact, this is the version I suggest you use at first because you may not be able to get in even one rep at first with the “standard” Nilsson curls!

Check the video of Nick himself performing the exercise. It’s really good stuff.

My friend Nick Nilsson has just released his latest Frankenstein workout routine, made especially for the arms. It’s called, “The Best Arm Exercises You Have Never Hear Of” and it totally will blow your mind.

I dare you to try the Nilsson Curl. It blasts your biceps like you won’t believe! It’s totally killer stuff.

There’s also the tricep pushdown, with a TWIST (not literally).

PLUS, he has separate routines for MEN and WOMEN. So, ladies, there’s no excuse not to pump up your arms!

I love stories like this, where unknown folks take on bad guys and become heroes!

By the way, “Caveman” might be this guy.

ACWORTH, Ga. – Police said a would-be robber got more than he bargained for when he tried to rob a Quik Thrift store with a knife. A quick-thinking customer, known only as “Caveman,” grabbed a step ladder and hit the suspect at least once Monday. The customer chased the suspect from the store using the ladder as protection.
