Powerlifter vs Strongman
- Thread starter BOOEY
- Start date
Bodybuilders look strong, some ARE strong.
Powerlifters move heavy weights but never move their feet.
Strongmen pick up heavy objects and run with them.
IMO...Strongman is the only sport which requires one to be an athlete and show their athletic ability. We do the powerlifts to increase our performance in our sport. The exercises we do in the gym are not the same ones that we compete with...but they help us. To be a good strongman, one must have good foot speed, great cardio shape, very strong in all lifts, etc... It takes the total package.

Rankings are a little "off" in my opinion right now. I honestly believe that I should be top 20 and top 12-15 would be awesome.

At 15-16 I was 152.
17-18 I was 213.
19-20 I was around 230.
From age 20-22 I was 245-260.
In 2001 I bulked up to 305 (and fat) and dieted down to 269 in 4-5 months.
I've been between 275-290 ever since. I always weigh about the same I just keep getting leaner. I don't think that my body wants to put on any more weight.

I earned my Pro card through NASS. Pro's are not allowed to compete in NASS contests.
This past weekend I was in St. Louis and in February I was in Boston competing.
Here is the post I put up about my contest this past weekend:
