Strongman at my gym
« on: January 10, 2009, 08:37:03 AM »
Appeared a few weeks back.

66yr old with a huge gut. Big fucking structure. Around 6' tall must be 300lbs

Talked about strongman and his circus act with me. I asked him if he wouldnt mind to bring in a few clippings. The mofo brought in a scrap book of him lifting horses! Huge barrels of beer etc...he had a show years ago you challenged him and if you beat him you won £1000

Interesting man.

He DB cleans and presses over 110lbs still for reps

Heard about this guy. I'd like to meet him sometime. Paul says he has a wealth of knowledge

He carried 1 of his scrap books in. Apparantly has tons.

Knowledgeable as fuck in terms of strongman odd lifts etc. Bit crazy told me to put 2 raw eggs mix it with pure orange before a workout. Also told me to slowly boild 4 green bananas mix with a little cutard and honey and eat.

Seriously he lifted horses and insane size barrells. Deadlifted a tractor too also...the cut out of that is on gym wall now!

He was sponsored by some beer called Eku...aparantly that was the strongest beer at the time.

Old school as fuck. Is from Enniskillen. Hard as fuck to understand talks beneath his fucking moustache. Wrist look to be about 10"

I assume he used a bit of gear?

I dunno. I doubt it to he honest. You will understand if you seen him.

he said hos acts and challenges were things he trianed specifically for for years. Planned them out etc so it was so so so unlikely even a very strong man could walk up to the barrell etc and lift it. A huge amount was technique etc.

He was never huge when he was younger. He isnt particularly big for his feats but is just a big farmer.

Maybe i am wrong though. Vic said he seem him years ago at Fivemiletown and was amazed!
