Dynamite coconuts on this young lady:

[Gym Rat]

Hey Kearney, we get it, your gay!!   

Wrote a book for kids on being gay as well (Childrens book), a low-life libturd move.

[Gym Rat]

The Arnolds 2023 Wheel of pain is MASSIVE

[ChristopherA]

No Martins?

[Gym Rat]

No Martins?

He's taking a year off I guess, was 360 lbs at his last contest and wants to get down to a lean 300 lbs.
He may go for some records though he said, some are saying American Log Press record and maybe a DL (Elephant bar, etc)..

[Henda]

Hey Kearney, we get it, you’re gay!!   

Wrote a book for kids on being gay as well (Childrens book), a low-life libturd move.

Absolutely fucking detest the fat gay cunt. used to wish he would suffer a career ending injury now I’ve heard about him forcing his faggoty down kids throats I hope the bastard dies

LMAO!

Hahaha. Agreed.

[Gym Rat]

First event is over and Mateusz wins it.

He hasnt competed in a couple of years, so a good 1st event for him.
The frame-carry he always  destroys people (usually) curious to see how he does there.
(Has the world record in that one).

His DL is always lacking, thats where he normally gives away points...

will rogue be making a wheel of pain for home use ?

Imagine that in your back-yard Funk...

Dynamite coconuts on this young lady:

   guy at about the 1:58 mark looks like a less retarded version of our very own Lou Ferrigno himself a competitor in the first WSM..

[funk51]

LOL 

Imagine that in your back-yard Funk... 

  if I was younger I would probably look into getting one.

[Gym Rat]

Trey Mitchell wins the Log Press.

Stoltman Bros look like garbage so far...

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Maxime had peaked perfectly for this contest. Too bad about that leg break.

So far Sam seems too small compared to some of the behemoth amazon women.

[Matt]

So far Sam seems too small compared to some of the behemoth amazon women.

Tell me about it.
Sam is crazy strong though.

Her one-arm dumbbell press is probably 30-lb more than mine. I can probably do 140 right now, and a bit more if I trained specifically for it. But I don't train at a Strongman gym, and don't have sufficient equipment, and don't want to drive way across town to train properly.

I feel I could get to 160 without steroids, at the same body weight as Sam [183-lb].

But she pressed 183-lb [her own BW], which is INSANE for a woman. While I do feel that's within the realm of my genetics, I don't really want to risk my shoulders at my age.

So I'm not going to lie - Sam is the only woman in my city stronger than me.

But she IS Canada's Strongest Woman...and she uses way more than me.

These top women are good, but the 176-lb male world champion would beat even these juiced women, who outweigh them by 70-lb.

I'm not sour grapes here. Just saying male/female genetic equality is a myth.

[Fortress]

Hey, Kearney. We get it. You’re gay!!   

Wrote a book for kids on being gay, as well (children’s book). A low-life libturd move.

Look at that fruity pepples phaggot.

Hope a particularly heavy implement crushes him.
