jon pall
« on: February 16, 2011, 09:37:47 AM »
saw the 83, 84, 85 wsm's with sigmarsson and capes last week

this guy was very entertaining, f'n strong, charismatic, and everyone seemed to get along with him, even capes, whom some say was a tool

I remember he died in early 90's, after a workout at the gym, too young only 32

Didn't his death happen after a set of heavy deadlifts? Damn shame, too young too die :( I'm curious, was Tom McGee from Canda competing in those contests?

Yeah man, I was jealous as fuck about McGee coz the guy had an absolutely awesome physique and he was ultra handsome. I remember one comp that they had in Portugal, and she super hot and gorgeous Portguese females were looking at Tom with lust in their eyes ;D

after his favorite exercise, deads (no pun intended), guy was great

McGee was in the 83 in sweden, and 85 in portugal, 85 he looked very good, but carrying an injury of some sort, I believe he came 2nd to kaz in 82

the weather conditions in 84 in sweden were ridiculously cold, snow, ice. they had them doing a sleigh pushing contest with passengers, and after breathing in the cold air, the guys were really struggling, first time I saw wsm events with the contestants wearing jerseys and jackets!
