Well actually, it's plenty proof that it didn't take any fancy prep or qualifications to do well, refuting the claims here that it takes "years of WSM prep" and the results prove that they did solidly, as opposed to yet another misconception here that they didn't.
It also proves that slave here remains cognitively challenged, since they're far better examples of BBs in the WSM than any of the others he claims to know about.
uhm...svend karlsen is an ex bodybuilder and he was succesfull in wsm (eddy ellwood is another...not successful).but not as as succesful as colombu or ferrigno as a bodybuilder..but that doesnt matter as its strength and atheleticism that is important in strongman not how you looked at low bodyfat. and where did i say i takes years of practice ( do you always make up things when you have discussions with people? )..all i said was that ronnie would have to train the special events and no one knows if he would be any good until he actually did an event..takes stones for example..would ronnie be tall enough for lifting stones to high platforms?
what this illustrates is that brute strength isnt everything..ronnie has strength..but some guys are even stronger than ronnie and they arent winning events. add to this fact that ronnie has never trained the different events.
basically ronnie has the baseline power needed but alot of guys with his strength or better have failed to win anything..so the conclusion has to be that
ronnie wouldnt be winning any events.
