go on terry hollands!!!
i will vote and cross my fingers for him, as he is english and generally seems like a down to earth, humble, all round nice guy, but tbh in the last year he hasnt looked as strong as in previous years.

 

[Big_BK]

Terry is one of my favorite, he is a very nice guy i met him at mohegan. Pudz and poundstone are favored to win but bother of them are injured so who knows!

 

[*The_West*]

oh really, i didnt know that. whats wrong with pudz?

 

[*The_West*]

maybe someone could put this up as a bookie event?

 

[Big_BK]

I was thinking that myself, heheh i will pm swole later. I don't like pudz because he is an asshole in real life. I have heard this from several other people as well so it is not just me that thinks that.

 

[*The_West*]

i can imagine how being wsm and attracting fame like he does could turn an already slightly arrogant guy into an outright wanker.

I always thought Travis Ortmeyer was from IFSA?

I like him and if were a gambling man I'd put money on him.

 

[Big_BK]

IFSA is pretty much done now. They fucked alot of guys for money and from what i understand all there equip is being held by the shipping company they used because they didnt pay the bill which was not small.

That's unfortunate, all my favorite guys are in IFSA. I'd love to see Z compete in WSM again though. I have to believe he'd win in a walk. I'm biased though, I guess.

Yeah pudz is a real dick, so far he's the only pro I've met who wasn't super nice.

I think Poundstone will still pull it out that guy really impresses me. I'd like to see the podium go:

1. Poundstone
2. Ortmayer
3. Ostlund or Pfister

Travis is a great guy I first met him about a week after he earned his pro card and have hung out with him a couple of times. Dave is super nice too so it's great to see him doing well.

Cheers,

No I haven't I'll look for it though. I've one motioned a 330 before but that's a far cry from 400. He's going to be a force to be reckoned with for a while as long as he stays healthy.

Ok watched the vid and that's just insane. He's like a human forklift.

Its crazy watching him pick them and and run over with them already at the level of the platform. Guy is a beast.

[Kidda]

Mariusz took it in the end, won on the very last event!!!

Props to the guy - the man is an animal!! To win Worlds Strongest Man with a calf injury is INSANE!!! The greatest winner in history now baby - 5 times is just Crazy!!
