Title: THE WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN IS A LIAR
Post by: shiftedShapes on October 17, 2006, 01:33:52 PM

snippet:

"Pfister, at 6 feet 6 inches and 345 pounds with only 5 percent body fat, wears a size 56 jacket. He has forearms that would make Olive Oyl swoon, and hands and fingers so big and thick that friends describe them as two bunches of bananas hanging from his wrists."

(http://graphics10.nytimes.com/images/2006/10/17/sports/17strong.1_600x364.jpg)

There is no way this 50" waist strong man is 5% BF.  This is worse than when Shaq used to claim 2-3%.

I think fatty is closer to 20% and probably more.

yeah 5 percent is a stretch, i've seen him in person and he is a huge man but he's more like 20-25 percent, not even Mariusz is 5 percent.

Maybe they meant that his hands and feet hold only 5% of his bodyfat...


At 345 lbs, that would mean he only has 17 lbs of fat.  5 percent, oh brother.

he 's not anywhere near 345 either, him and a bunch of other strongmen were in town and came into a barbeque restaurant and looking at him he appeared to be 295-305 at maybe 6'5", very wide and large structure but not extremely thick, the thickest dude i saw was Mark Phillipi that guy was HUGE.

This is how the myhts and bullshit start. It is then spread and carried over by delusional fans and commoners.

I have seen this with Vic Richards, Ronnie Coleman,Phil Heath, "Insert guy I used to know in High School Name", and hosts of others.

The body fat claim is way off but he is NOT a fat guy.  Phister is one of the leaner stongmen. 

As to his weight I completely believe it as he was gained weight in last year or so and the guy is very tall.

Exactly, just cause you're not "competitive bb ripped" doesn't mean you're fat......fat for a bb stage yes, but fat for reality........no.

Where do you get the gay association with Pfister having big hands?

But he isn't 5 percent.

If you think that, you have no idea of what 5 percent bodyfat looks like.

5 percent bodyfat is stage or nearstage condition.

he knows he's not 5% he just doesn't hesitate to lie about it.  I'm sure the reporter just took his word for it.  Fact checking standards are apparently pretty lax for athlete profiles.  This is what they call a puff piece.

Most people don't have any real idea about body fat percentages - anyone competing in an aerobic type sport will never let there body fat get to far under 8% (with the exception of body fitness, and fitness chicks). I remeber these idiotic NFL commentators during a game accually said this DE was something like 3% bobyfat - this guy was smooth as hell and only veins exposed on him were his biceps.

Mariusz won't jump onstage and compete, and 5% BF is unneccesary for his sport, but compare to other world strong man, Mariusz is pretty fcuking lean, and I dont think he would have any problem to get his body at 5% bf. and no way he was at 5% bf at the Expo, but by far I believe he's the rippest of all strong man
