A good friend of mine was in Finland for a bench press comp some years back, and he told me that Finnish dudes are VERY MACHO, and truly are tough dudes

In fact, he personally knows Riku Kiri (sp?) the Finnish strongman from the recent past, and he even showed me a photgraph of himself stnding side by side with Riku, and Riku made my friend look like a small child lol P.S. At that time my friend was a pretty solid 275 lbs (125 kg)
