He's been around so long that you'd think he was an old dude, but he's only 37.

97 is when he really started to make a name for himself, and by 2002 he was one of the major dominators in international strongman.

Yeah i thought he wa a lot older. Kudos to him for keeping it going all these years. Almost won it too.

Met Magnus Samuelsson a couple of times. Really nice guy. Problem is he takes a stance thwt hes drug free. Did he change that stance later or maintain it?

How do some of these guys not get a heartattack right there and then? Insane. BP has to be through the roof.

These events used to be big on tv back in the day. Then they seemed to disappear. Was always funny seeing Magnus mauling the other competitiors at the swedish events lol.

No it doesn't.

I know plenty of really big guys with good cholesterol and BP numbers and plenty of really skinny people who have horrible numbers and just don't care. The thing is when a big guy dies it gets a lot of attention, but when a "regular" person dies "it's just one of those things"... That said i'm quite sure that many of them have some issues, but keep them in check with medications.

Yes. But theres also difference just doing lets a say a max DL. And walking with 1000 pounds on our back for 20+ seconds.. The extra stress on your heart maxing for so long I assume would be dangerous, especially 420 pound guys on a boatload of steroids and their face turning dark red.. But I don't recall anyone dropping dead on the spot. So I guess its worse then it looks. Then again Im no doctor and Im just assuming.

Yes you are right on many things but those guys are the very top, they have trained for years and years and have conditioned themselves for this. In track and field/cross country skiing etc. they have 100 lbs people with heart rates in 200's (during the event) and then you have 300-400 lbs guys pulling a truck with heart rates of 150. So many of these guys are def. built and conditioned for this. As for steroids, i know for a fact that many PL's and strongmen use a lot less than the Olympia line up + they don't use many of the exotics that really take their toll. As for the most dangerous drug usage, i'm fairly sure it's by endurance athletes that try to pass the test's by using very weird compounds AND the very top bodybuilders.

WSM looks "worse" than it is.

i agree in terms of PEDs... they do not need anything beyond the basics (still horseshit but not as bad in terms of long term effects)
