Rogue Invitational - Day 3

[blizz]

@giftsigns Chandler Smith has a great flair for showmanship. Nice finish to the event.

 

[thunderstruck]

@blizz Dressing like a Tri-Lambda was a nice touch

@giftsigns The Duel III was so cool! What a race

 

[dawn16]

@giftsigns Arielle Loewen is great!

 

[hallbee66]

@giftsigns These women are so fast

@giftsigns

• Pat doing Pat things. Start bad, then catch fire
• Noah surprisingly in 2nd
• Adler surprisingly not in 2nd (or 1st)
• Hopper stinks. what happened to you Mr. Jayson?
• Chandler is so friggin jacked
• Travis Mayer is in the wrong group; he should be with legends
• Roman is Mr Hot and Cold, but Rogue isn't his thing
• Ricky on day 2 looks like he was at the bar all night

@mbahchidinma Hopper heard you and decided to win The Duel lol

 

[mbahchidinma]

@christissovereign lol he sure did.

Duel event is a great test of natural athletic ability and Hopper has TONS of that.

 

[adnor]

@mbahchidinma Why would Mayer not want to be competing and earning money?

 

[mbahchidinma]

@adnor clearly he does

he just never places near the top

and he's been at this forever

 

[dawn16]

@mbahchidinma Chandler is strong AF but his technique is awful

 

[otfl4jah]

@giftsigns Not hating, but why is Bethany Flores there if she has a bad back? I heard she didn’t attempt a back squat during one event, and it looks like she isn’t doing the 1RM deadlift either? I understand this a payday for her, but she shouldn’t be competing if she isn’t going to attempt every event. Let another athlete have a chance.

 

[dawn16]

@otfl4jah I asked this same question lol like why bother if it’s going to aggravate your back and extend the healing process? Especially if you aren’t even close to winning, break even $ wise or potentially in debt, because injury? I was flummoxed, I tell you. Flummoxed.

 

[godsentmyhusband]

@otfl4jah She earned her spot, didn’t even take last, and she’s from Austin TX so it’s a big deal to compete in front of her friends and family.

 

[houbfy]

@giftsigns Should have done bigger jump for the DL… its a bit boring and long

 

[zhivko]

@houbfy Agree! I feel like they should let the stronger people enter later at a heavier weight.

 

[disa]

@zhivko The problem with the jumps at such small intervals is that it unnecessarily burns out their strength by the time they get towards a max. But, if they allowed stronger athletes to skip those lower weights, that would give them an unfair advantage of coming in fresh. Not saying they wouldn't still win, but I feel like the stimulus should be even for everyone.

 

[laurencesantos]

@houbfy That's what she said

 

[dcpdendo]

@giftsigns I’m very much looking forward to the 1RM Deadlift. Speegle didn’t look good so far, but I would still bet on her. I have no clue about Men’s side - maybe Chandler or Fikowski? Also, I think, Tia will not be top 5 in that event.

 

[andryvok]

@dcpdendo Really surprised and impressed by her performance in the duel! She flew through those logs.
