HARRISBURG -- Mike Jenkins, one of the strongest men in the world, has died. He was 31. Jenkins, a resident of Dauphin County, died suddenly this morning. CrossFit Gamma, the gym in which Jenkins co-owned in Hershey, announced his death on its Facebook page but offered no other details. Jenkins finished fourth at this year's World's Strongest Man competition in China. His biggest win came at the 2012 Arnold Strongman Classic, in which he beat the biggest names in the sport, including Zydrunas Savickas, Derek Poundstone, and Brian Shaw. Jenkins, who was 6'6" and around 400 lbs., also won the 2012 Giants Live in Australia and the 2010 Arnold Strongman amateur event. A native of Westminster, Md., Jenkins also played college football at James Madison. He is survived by his wife, Keri.

you can have all kinds of aspirations in being a good sumerian but the fact is you cant be gigantic and you cant be on that heme-iron

[Marty Champions]

i took the most logical seemingly safest route by trying to be as big as possible without heme iron

the fact is its impossible, you can only grow but so much, and even if you grow one pound of muscle expect to grow 3 pounds of fat with it
