I like the WSM!  It's an opportunity for the perma-bulking hereos of the free weight area that can't run the 50 yard dash without oxygen and a defibrillator to put their superior furniture moving prowess to the test!!

Saw one live in York, Pa. years ago. Awesome to see in person. Really fun experience. Telephone pole tossing is serious business.

Highland games? Or something like that. Qualifier for WSM.

I would love to visit a chinese buffet with those tremendous WSM athletes!!

How long did your semi last?

Only until some girl... Think name was Jezzibell or something maybe... Finished me off.

Yes!  At least you were able to get some release after the WSM competition.

These WSM guys are all dying by the age of 35

You ever try strongman Adonis? Its fun. A lot more fun than your standard bench, squat and deadlift.

You wouldn't know.

I still can't watch that video anymore.   First time I saw it I didn't realize what had happened.   Since I've dislocated my knee several times I can't stand to watch that.

Yes, I have raked leaves, moved foundation rocks in my yard and plowed the land and dumped wheelbarrows full of soil.  Kind of the same thing if you ask me.

You like?

Sometimes.

[Wolfox]

You have a strong lower back so you would do well with a lot of the strongman events.

[Thick Nick]

Thank you for spreading my smexyness Che.

[Wolfox]

Also come to think of it you were doing crossfit-esque training long before it became the rage. You deadlifting 225 for reps was legendary...happen to have the time you completed that feat?

[bigmc]

wsm is fun to watch

those guys have super human strength

i doubt they can dead lift 100kg for 100 reps though

[The True Adonis]

the only true sport of strength is olympic weightlifting for various reasons it's not even an arguement

*IWF is the ONLY governing orginization, a world champ is a world champ period, not a million shit organizations

*everyone is forced to use maximal range of motion as dictacted by his own skeletal structure it can look different

*it is an OLYMPIC SPORT

*the level of competition is hundreds of times higher because of the number of athletes

*there is no use of power suits

*baldness is not rampant

*it is lifting a weight off the floor over the head, the purest display of strength, understood by everyone in the world, instinctively

etc etc etc



that being said, i dont watch it, like any other sport, same shit all over again and again and again

Its really not though.  It just proves that they can lift a weight over their head and nothing else.  Ronnie Coleman was/is "stronger" than any of the lifters at the Olympics, but there is no way he could do that.

che, are you suggesting that Thick Nick is hung  like a squirrell?

[headhuntersix]

Bodybuilding is a show...and subjective.  Strongman is a sport like Highland games. We're prepping for one in April...just for fun. I do a strongman workout once per week as part of my training. Its a lot of fun. If your gym has the shit...grab a yoke and walk...pick up the stones. Crossfit is a gateway drug for those with any actual ability and athletic potential. It would great if crossfit lead to a growth and interest in Olympic lifting as America doesn't have a lot of top flight competitors.

ronnie coleman has fragmentary strength, good at little isolated moves on  amachine or a bench


olympic lifting is true test of strength, no bench machine rack helping you

the fact he cant do it proves he is not strong like them

I bet I can rake leaves longer and better than the current lineup of the Olympic lifting team.  I am stronger in that sense.
