I saw Mike training last week. He's very big & very strong, however, the men who compete and win the WSM are a bit more than very big & very strong.

He'll have to qualify and obviously specialize in all the events. A 1900 lbs total @275lbs is impressive, but it won't mean too much to any WSM athletes. I wish him luck.

Mike and Tito Raymond REMAIN the two strongest men in Gold's Venice.  I've seen Mike bench 405 for 6 twice in the last month.  It's a genuine work set for him.  No bullshit involved.

So how is Tito Raymond doing? Haven't seen him compete lately ever since he got married. Retirement, maybe?

I watched Tito and this other professional boxer go a few rounds out back this morning.  They had an electronic bell and an iPod jambox playing some fucking 1985 rap shit.  Probably upper-level semi-contact boxing.  They kept losing their mouthpieces and shit.  An hour later I see the bastard doing upright rows in there working shoulders or something.  That dude just trains.  That's what Tito does.  Actually, if you watch him for a little while, it starts to resemble his own religion.

 I saw Kevin Knee ( kid on MTV's I want the perfect body 2 strongman) at 20 years old take 5th place in a WSM qualifier... The kid is 20 years old at 6'3 260 visable abs  and every bit as strong as most the guys he was competing against. The fingers event fucked him. But he also placed ahead of the former WSM  Bergmanus in a few events. The kid has some serious serious potential. The only thing holding him back was his lack of expierence. When he is 23/ 24 he will be WSM bet on it.  Great attitude also very gracious. Crazy strong for 20 years old. Took second in the atlas stones and 2nd in the event where they hold the two colums.

405 for 6 at the world's strongest man level is weaker than shit, that's a warmup for most of those bulls, he's gonna find out that he's weaker than a popcorn fart when he gets to that level and sees Savikas, Hugo Girard, Glenn Ross, Svend Karlsen and the rest of those bulls weighing 350lbs. and they laugh at him for being a toothpick, hahahaha, i can understand why you look up to him though Jeff because you're all of what 165lbs.??

In all honesty, 405 for 6 is pretty weak for WSM!  What would that make his max?  500?  I'll try to get video of my buddy Nick in Vegas nailing 675 again (2 second pause, single ply shirt!) and I won't even mention the 825 squat he does on a weekly basis!  Mike might be a nice guy and all but with mediocre lifts like that he'll need alot more time on the weights.  I can't count how many dudes out here who can bang 405 for reps, some of which are only about 230-250lbs!

I am not sure on Mikes actual age Mate! He has been in a few action movies and has several Rejuvination clinics that are doing very well. He is always doing something. He is a talented man and is very cool and fun to hang out with. I was speaking with at Gold's this morning. Hope all is well.

Post by: McFarland on May 07, 2006, 08:44:36 PM
I didn't mean to imply that that's all he's got...405 x 6...I just said that's what I saw him do...and the set wasn't to failure, and good form was maintained with all 6, every time I saw him do it.  He may have gone up to 455 after that, I'm not sure.  I think one day he actually may have. 

Right after I got out here 3 years ago I saw the two of them training triceps and they were dipping with a 180-pounder for like 8-12 (if I'm not mistaken on the reps, but they were more than 6), and right after that they were going to 315 and 365-lb. close-grip benches for sets of 6-10.  The strength these guys have is REAL.  It's a very "functional" sort of strength...he can perform alot of very heavy work, on a consistent basis, which is pretty much the essential difference in that, tested in strongman competitions, and the type of strength tested in a powerlifting competition...the one rep max stuff done in very linear and uni-dimensional planes of motion.  So I mean he's done everything else, so this is just what's next at this point.  Mike and Tito share this trait:  They need to challenge themselves in varying ways and when they find something new, they give it their all, even if they ARE "just passing through."  That's respectable, and it sure beats competing in bodybuilding contests for 10 years straight despite their having outgrown their general aesthetism for it after about 3-4 years worth of the shit.  There's another thread today with some guy freaking out about not knowing how we should get leaner than Andreas Munzer and thus do our duty to move the sport forward.  I honestly think "the sport" has already seen it's peak, and I think progress, in this case, may end up being bodybuilding's having to take a couple of steps back over the coming few years.  We don't need to get leaner than Andreas, we just need to TRY to get as lean as what he actually did and when we get as lean as we can we'll just say "f**k it," at least knowing we did our best.  I mean, we're probably not gonna get leaner than Andreas without dying, too.  Besides, I mean, was there really anything left to see through his skin?  f**k no. 

"f**k it!  You can't look any better than this!"                  --Lee Priest, commenting on his mirror reflection in one of the Battle for the Olympia videos

I watched Tito get 600 for 2 barefoot one day, and he doesn't weigh shit.  I don't even think he'd been concentrating on training towards anything like that in particular, either.  These are REAL GYM LIFTS, done alongside other lifts comprising a bodybuilding-type workout.  I'm telling you, they're fucking strong as shit, those two.

at 6'2 and whatever he weighs now, he needs to be way stronger and bigger, at least in the 280's to be a serious contender in the WSM. As some of you knows, these worlds strongman guys trains with real world weights( deadlifting cars, pulling 700lbs Anchors, powercleaning wheelcarts for reps) I dont underestimate Mike's strenght, but he'll sure need to prove first that he can stomp with the BIG DOGS

You cannot just do WSM, you have to qualify first in a competition. We will get to see what Mike is made off then! Being strong in the gym does not really mean that you will do well in a strong man competition, you have to train with the equipment used in the competitions. Maybe Mike has been training somewhere?
