Title: 2017 World's Strongest Man
Post by: Strongmanfan on May 28, 2017, 05:51:41 AM
How did my fellow Canadian JEAN FRANCOIS CARON do?  He is from Quebec City, Qubec.  Quebec City is 97% Caucasian almost entirely composed of genetic French people.  Don't Caucasians realize that societies where we comprise the majority are superior?  White people are like hot girls that think they are ugly.  We refuse to accept we are superior at civilization-building, for some reason.

they pick things up, they put them down, they occasionally run after picking something up, but not far.

Just like bodybuilding. Except the running part, bodybuilders do 3.4mph on a 5 degree incline for no more than 20 minutes to maximize muscle growth.

I seem to be doing OK with them, I dont have any muscle tears or any serious injuries at 52.

Bodybuilders - Fictional strength.

Strongman -  Functional strength.

JFC placed 4th - that is crazy!!  His best showing yet.  :o

Shaw was right in there until the end. The events set up very well for Eddie Hall whose weakness has always been his height, speed, and endurance. Zydrunas appeared injured / flat. There was also less depth this year which helped Hall.

You left out the part where they shout very loudly while picking the things up, sometimes combined with vigorous nodding...

And then of course, they sit quietly and catch their breath for a while before starting again....

LOL - I know you didn't mean it that way, but I read that as Eddie's weaknesses are that he is short, slow and lacks stamina - also he lucked out due to a competitor being injured and it being a weaker than usual field... Haha!

Just kidding BTW - full respect to Eddie  8)

Ok, now I'm confused.  Keanu's post is fine, but one of Eddie's weak points is his height?  6'3 is short for World's Strongest Man?

Seems like Hafthor is destined to be the game's "nearly man".
