Strong as fuck guy. 

The poster above called it with bodybuilding and then strongman. 

I really respect someone like him, Ronnie, JJ, and others who look the part and have the monster strength to back it up.

Yes, Ellwood was strong - could squat 800lbs if memory serves me correctly - impressive for suc a tall guy too - he was over 6 foot.

eddies from hartlepool in england, as is his gym... fuck knows who the irish bloke is your on about...
Eddies a sound bloke, runs a local bodybuilding show , i think he had some pretty bad injuries from the strongman,,, one of the biggest men ive seen in the flesh tho, with the strength to back it up, from an old british mag he was said to do a 600lb bench, 800 squat and a 900lb deadlift.... ronny jackson wouldnt be fit to carry his towel
