All i can say is that even with my ugly face , now that im 325 lbs strongman I get way more attention from women that some of my bodybuilder friends with great shapes.
Anyway I like to lift heavy , and i like to compete ..... not for women just because I F&CKIN LIKE MOVING HEAVY WEIGHTS......
and as far as the i can stay ona diet , NO ....I can stay on diet but I hate dieting and hate low carbs... so its true that the diet and eating protocol for strongman is far way easier to follow than a bodybuilder.... but as far as the training goes , strongman training is WAY more intense and hard than bodybuilder training.
And by the way I sill like bodybuilding and go see contest from time to time.... and when my wife compete i like to be backstage and see the result of all the hard work. But for me I really like strongman better , more challenging, no controversial judging (you lift or you dont) unlike the questionable judging that took place sometimes in bodybuilding. The money are better in strongman , and easier to get sponsors and more recognition from the people. Its more accessible for general people...... and almost everybody like to see strong feats.
