The heats are over; the finalists for the 2011 "Met-RX Worlds Strongest Man" competition are:
- Brian Shaw (US) 6'8" 460lbs - lovely guy, loves his gear; dead pool contender.
- Thor Bjornsson (Iceland) 6'9" 420lbs - as with Shaw, Thor exhibits a bodyweight in KG that matches the figure of his waking glucose level!
- Ervin Katona (Serbia) 6'1" 340lbs
- Laurence Shahlaei (UK) 6'2" 340lbs
- Terry Hollands (UK) 6'6" 410lbs - 5 grams per week, as above.
- Vytautas Lalas (Lithuania) 5'10" 300lbs
- Zydrunas Savickas (Lithuania) 6'3" 375lbs - how long can the guys heart take it? as with Shaw, a possible pre-2020 expiration!
- Mike Jenkins (US) classified
- Derek Poundstone (US) 6'1" 340lbs - a bit of a dick; GH lover, dead pool contender (fingers crossed)
- Stefan Solvi Petursson (Iceland) 6'5" 340lbs
A TOTALLY bad ass line up; fucking mental no less!
This is a stronger line up than 1994 when Magnusson, Kiri, Badenhorst, Hoeberl and Taylor clashed!
There is a kewl "US vs UK vs Lithuania" thing going on too.
Fingers crossed the steroid taking lying bastard and American cop "Dickhead Prickstone" doesn't have a heart attack or something ghastly; that would be terrible, unfortunate and something nobody would ever want to see...
Side bets are being taken on whether or not Brian Shaw's head will grow to the size of a 42" plasma telly before the day of final?
Seriously though, this is THE comp to watch!!
