I dont think too many people knew very much about Perry's training and such.I dont think he ever had a profile on x-tremestrongman,and when strongestman.com was still around they were supposed to be getting an interview with him,but I dont think they ever did.I saw a web page once for the Phil guy....looked like a big guy and supposably did some amazing things,but I remember alot of people questioning how valid it actually was.
As for OD..dont know much about him either,but Ive seen a few things around the internet.Just knew that he was a very strong and big guy.On one of the WSMs they had to run around a track with bricks on their back....an almost all cardio event.Thats the way things go,but if not for that,I agree with alot of people when they say he would have been that years official WSM,instead of Jon Pal .
