Britain's strongest man

alpha7158 · Dec-23-06, 03:15 PM

I watched the strong man competitions on Friday and this is the guy that won:

Ollie Thompson

It doesn't make sense how someone so physically fit and strong (you have to be fit to do some of the challenges on the program) can be so god damned fat! I mean his gut is massive.

Constant bulk and no cut.

but surely being too fat would hinder performance and fitness.

Yeah it does, but he probably does alot of cardio when he's not lifting.

EDIT: This is just my opinion, by the way. I don't really know anything about him personally. The only Strongman I follow is Mariusz.

I wouldn't call him fit.

He will most likely die prematurely.

i remember seein a strong man competition on tv a few years back and they had to lift these big logs like massive pieces of timber with grooves in it and one guy actually ripped all of his calluses of his hands they were so thick as well ... and another time this guy picked up a weight so heavy he started bleedin really dark blood out of his nose and it was like puring , i dont kno about u but that was freaky and im sure it wasnt a good sign seemed like he was hemorraging from the brain i have the upmost respect for those guys cos they are able to push there bodies so hard its incredible

Thus perpetuating the myth that steroids(he COULDN'T compete in a sport like that without the 'roids) will kill you. Or the myth that weight training is unhealthy.
