Thatīs Jouko Ahola  from Finland, my all time favourite strongman. He won the title twice and could have won it many times if he had wanted. Back then he was so dominant of the sport that it was funny!

I cant believe he stays so upright when he pulls!! WOW all lower back!  when I did deads on a regular basis I always droped my hips and drove with my legs a little.

I think i drove with my legs aswell, tho as im tall by the time my legs wer straight i still had over 1/2 the lift to do so lower back gets hit hard.

I heard that mr. Ahola lives a pretty normal family guy life these days, but i have seen him in contest as a ref. I bet he still trains hard, you know the fire keeps burning.

Im flippin through the channels today and see a movie called "Invincable" starring Jouko Ahola. Its about the worlds strongest Jew (Ahola). He works as a strongman act in a Nazi-hangout restaurant/theater. Remarkable actor! ::)
