Slip of the tongue. Honest mistake.I really do prefer feminine pronouns, thanks.
And it could be that TRD is in on the troll or he's the one I lost the account bet to. Just sayin.

Why would you think that?
Couldn't possibly be because of my past hypermasculine pursuits as a globe trotting adventurer, could it?
I believe they are named replicasWeird.. they all remind me of Cyborg.
Last I remember was he made that thread about being trans and then went AWOL. I was actually trying to engage respectfully and never got a response. If he doesn't take it seriously, I don't see why I should.
Both are a glorified beauty pageant. Powerlifting and strong man are where it's at. But I am a little biased.
BJJ laughs at your Powerlifting and Strong Man
Eh whatever two different realms. PL and SM are strength sports not a martial art.
Part of me still suspects that you're pulling off the most epic troll/gimmick in Sherdog history.
Or you lost the most epic account bet in Sherdog history. This truly would be a bet for the ages.
I would think that as well. But @therealdope vouches for him, so I believe.
Just kidding, man. Lot of respect for both Combat and Strength sports. And of course a lot of fighters, especially those who compete in Grappling, use strength training.
Bjj is great when all other things are equal. Strength can be a hell of a trump card though.BJJ laughs at your Powerlifting and Strong Man

I've been grappling way longer than I've been lifting. I'll take a balanced combination if I have my choice, but if I had to choose one, it would be strength.Strength is only a God-Emperor card if the difference is completely overwhelming or the stronger person also has the skill to apply it. I've been smashed into the mats by guys I could out-lift.
BJJ is specifically designed to negate brute strength. For example: if I have you in an Armbar, my whole body is applying pressure on one of your limbs. So for strength to make a significant difference, your arm would have to be stronger than my whole body. That kind of strength difference rarely happens.
Now, if we are of equal skill and you are twice as strong as me, then odds are you're going to win.

Like I said. BalanceWell, sure. I do moderate strength training because I want to be strong. Because being strong is useful in a lot of ways in life. I don't do jiu-jitsu often because it's sort of fun, but it's also the sort of thing you hope you never have any practical use for. Overall, though, as long as I'm healthy I'm happy. I don't look at bodybuilder or powerlifters and think "I want that." I don't look at grappling champions and think "I want that." I look at guys in their 80s who are still healthy enough to play with their great grandchildren and think "I want that."
Me I will rather watch some ladies in small bikinis than watching guys in their itsy bitsy bikinis. Do you agree?
Women's bodybuilding is a freak show that goes against nature. Men's bodybuilding lost me at Ronnie Coleman era and has pregressed negatively. Bodybuilders should look like Arnold not fat cartoon characters. If your gut is fat, you shouldn't finish in the top 100
