World's Strongest Man

[gulfcoast]

So I'm at the gym on the treadmill warming up this afternoon and WSM is on ESPN.

Guy from Iceland that was leading his bracket named Burjellson or something was listed I think at 6'8" 418! Good god what a man!

Natural? lol

None of those guys are natural. Doesn't take away from the fact that they are amazing athletes. Is Marius still doing strongman or is he retired now?

Jesus, and they say bodybuilding is unhealthy...

Here comes the Natural strength/Drugs ratio thread... ill get the popcorn.

I believe you're referring to Thor Bjornsson. He's not exactly one of the leanest guys in the competition, but he is a monster.

I was watching bill kazmir (spelling) interview one of the guys. His hands and for arms are fucking massive. These guys just have them genetics where they lift more first time in gym than most of us do after 5 fucking cycles. Brian Shaw is a beast also, fingers like bananas

Here's the monster he's speaking about.

My thoughts exactly - u can look at some of their faces and only wonder how high their BP might be.

Don't think it really needs to be debated whether a muscular 6'8" 420 man simply just has good genetics! lol

Correct - they r massive everywhere, not just weight. They shake ur hand and it's like a vice gripping u.

I hope you didn't misinterprete my post as implying there natural. There genetics are amazing but so are all pro bodybuilders and there probably about as clean. As it should be, I wanna see them pulling jumbo jets, not transit vans

I knew exactly what u meant...

Re pulling planes - only watched 10 mins while warming up but I believe one of the events was pulling a C130 which is a large 4 engine turbo prop military transport.

Don't quote me on that but I believe that's what a preview clip showed.

HA lol, I just got em from google, I feel silly now well he's a beast anyway. Is that they guy that got into ufc aswell?

 

[thebigguy84]

Mariousz Pudzianowski is my fav strong man by far not a fat ass like most of the others. All very impressive guys though I give them that.

 

[nothuman]

Marius (sp?) still does strongman? I thought he switched to MMA a couple years ago and hasn't been that big for several years now?

Mariusz definitely an amazing athlete. He won a lot of events(WSM) because he had better endurance than the other guys even though he was often outweighed a lot times. I've always thought he would've been a decent bodybuilder with his great genetic structure. Likewise Ronnie probably would've been a good power lifter, although maybe not elite but who knows.

Pudz is alot smaller and fighting in MMA now
