slimmed down and got chubbier, still a big dude though.
Here's a more recent picture, about 6 months ago -

.

He's slimmed down a bit, but it's understandable, a few of the guys from that era have had health problems in the last few years, so many are dropping weight.

Do you know what the reason for this was? He always came across quite well in interviews I've seen him in.

This never gets old. A young and very thin Magnus breaks 6'10" Nathan Jones arm at the 1995 WSM competition. Magnus would gain another 85 pounds or so throughout his strongman career.



i can still vividly remember that happening. another thing what made that year stay in the memory was bodybuilder, curtis leffler competing fresh from some bb contest. it wasn't pretty :-\

heat four from 1:27:50

Nathan's arm didn't heal well and he had trouble locking out on overhead lifts at the next WSM which resulted in him not making it thru the heats as most of his overhead log lifts were not counted due to one arm not locking out.

I remember him being fuckin furious  :D
