Couldve been a plastic prop. You never know.
Oh, now I get it
Took me a second too, but this was my best interpretation.
Add me to the thread.
I came to the comments to find out what the gag was supposed to be.
I still don’t get it
See Carnelians reply
But it seems to be illustrated as being the same barbell in all the panels
Yeah, she’s testing the weight to make sure it really is heavy and not a prop. Feeling it for herself, she then congratulates the lifter
It harkens back to very old strongman shows. Often they would have guest come up to try a weight (or pass the implement around the audience if possible, such as a metal rod they would later bend or a hot water bottle they would later inflate)
It’s actually kind of a current issue with powerlifting as a spectator sport as well. You can tell lifters are struggling and it’s very exciting when they fail a lift and 5 people need to step in to bail them out. But “300kg” is just a number to most people, it’s hard to really convey to onlookers what an insane amount of weight that actually is to have on your back at all, never mind to squat with
It’s not just a number.
It’s a number and a unit.
Two units if you consider the absolute unit performing the lift!
It is, yes.
So then i still don’t see the joke.
Panel 1: He lifts heavy weight
Panel 2: She tries to lift it but can’t
Panel 3: She congratulates
She thinks the weights are fake.
She trys them.
Theyre not fake. CongratsYou got it. Its just not a very funny joke.
Thats not a dig or anything honest.
Can we get Jucika to check Hegsheth’s weights? I too am suspicious.
It wouldn’t surprise me if both are just happy to gave enjoyed each other’s show
In heels??
Always.
That’s hardcore
