The strongest man ever ?

[b fold the truth]

totally agreed, Kaz pulled 886 officially and rumor had it that he did 900 in training, the guys from the 70's and 80's were stronger than the guys today no doubt about it.

I've competed against some 2nd and 3rd tier European Strongmen and I'm convinced that nearly all of them can pull in the 8's. There are 265 guys in the US now pulling at or near 8...under 22 years old.

BILL KAZMAIER!

I agree completely with Tony Fitton's post... I saw him rep the 150's live back in my JuCo days... Kaz's 2425 is still untouchable unsuited and I have NEVER seen such a dominating performance in the Strongman events. Period.

I'd like to see Marius pull 1055 on the silver dollar deadlift.

At an Amateur contest in the US a few weeks ago...I think it was 4 different athletes pulled 1040 in the Silver Dollar deadlift.

Amateurs...not Pro's or WSM caliber athletes.

I've been an Amateur, I am a Pro, I have competed on TV. If you doubt that Mariuz could pull 1055 like that...you are greatly wrong.

Id have to agree with the above post.

the deadlift for max weight isnt his best lift. Anytime he tries anything above 750 he needs straps. I have some doubts about his grip strenght.

Exactly, that's why he also doesn't do very well on the hercules hold and other grip driven events. I think he might just have small hands.

BTW- I have personaly seen a guy pull over 800 from the floor in a comp I did. And he only weighed 24olbs.

Who gives a crap that youve seen a 240lb guy pull 800?

The hercules hold and deadlift are 2 diffrent things! Ofcourse you didnt know that! You can hold alot more weight with the weights on the side of your body, rather then lifting a one piece weight of the floor. Ive seen amature strongman lift and hold 330lb PER HAND for a total of 660 for 40 seconds, yet that same strongman couldnt lock out a 595 deadlift.

BTW: You really need to get a life and stop contributing your usless, negative Karma points my way. Looks to me like you spend more time doing that then trainning. Makes me wonder if you really are a "strongman" or a keyboard bandit.

I'm noticing that your info says that you are from Canada so your English may be a little different from ours. I do believe that the deadlift comment he put up was in line with my post...which was directed to another use speaking of the amazing silver dollar deadlift that Kaz did back in the day (which has been recently smashed by several amateurs).

Keyboard bandit...

...pot...kettle...

Check out his lifts man... Kazmaier is absolutely a stronger man as far as the powerlifts go. Your argument should be in the speed-athleticism events, which I would argue Kazmaier was more dominant at as well, however these are not quantifiable and therefore are very difficult to argue.

btw bro... Mariusz is a GREAT CHAMPION and he joins a list of the strongest man to ever walk this planet. However, I truly believe that Kaz tops that list.

Also, mad props to you entering the strongman arena... best of luck to you.

The deadlift comment was aimed at B-True which he seemed to realize even though you did not.

I was giving a simple affirmation of your observation of his grip strength. You finally had made a somewhat useful post in which you were finally not insulting someone or just being beligerent and in an attempt to let water pass under the bridge I posted as such.

You can question my abilities and training all you want, the simple fact being that I have competed at multiple strongman contests. How many have you competed in?

Also you were the one who said you didn't care about the karma system and that I was free to red you all I want. If you had read the messages I sent you would understand that I am using the system as it was intended. If you would grow up and start making useful posts then I will stop. You keep speaking of these incredible sources for strongman information you have so why don't you post up useful information so that others may benefit from it. Instead of calling people names and telling everyone that you are better/smarter than they are.

Or is you are so inclined I am competing at the Kansas' Strongest Man competition in May, so why don't you come down here and show us all how superior you are?

Or if you are so inclined to disagree with me, then use the ignore function and you simply won't have to bother reading my posts, and I will in kind do the same and we can forget the very existence of the other.

Then stop quoteing me. I dont want anything to do with you. I dont want to see my name in any of your lame posts. I would never waste my time on you, ever.
