Just to clarify...I am an American and used to be the Kentucky State NAS Chair. I've turned pro in the USA. Your state contest don't mean much to me...I've won the heaviest AM show in the US and doggone near won AM Nationals SICK. The photos from above are from some of the best Pro and AM shows in the USA as well as shows in Serbia, Poland, and Cyprus. Both Serbia and Poland were TV contract contests...thank you very much. You got one of those TV contracts with your state AMATEUR shows...right?
It isn't me vs you...but at the point where you call me a wanna be and act like an armchair strongman (somone who sits and watches but doesn't have a clue what it is like to compete) then you are wrong. Your grasp on what Strongman is about...is totally off. World Class I may not be...but I have a Pro Card from the USA and a contract with IFSA (you know...those guys who run the Worls Strongest Man).
Good for you and your 300 kilo deadlift.
I'm a big fat guy? Wow...lol. I have veins and cross striations in my legs and a visible 6 pack...at a strong 280 +. 18.5" arms are great man...impressive. Mine are 20" cold.
Since you are such a great bodybuilder and I'm just a fat strongman...why don't you go back to a bodybuilder forum and play like one.
By the way...later this year I'll be competing on TV again...and you will still be struggling to hold up my jock strap with your veins.

Then I guess that they better change the title to The Worlds Best At The Sport of Strongman then...

Sorry, just figured by your avatar name that you wouldn't be lieing about where you live. If it were truly the worlds strongest man time wouldn't be a factor - time implies speed - why don't they call it the Worlds Fastest Strongman so that it is not a joke when a guy like Magnus Ver wins it 4x on pure speed.
And no shit you have 20" arms - guess what I saw a guy yesterday with atleast 22"s beat that shit! Too bad he also had a 60" waist - bro get real you dont have a sixpack.
Oh shit my bad - you have cross striations on your legs? Sorry I thought you were the guy in those pictures with about 20% BF. I take it all back then since you have a sixpack and 20" arms cold.
Seriously man shred down to 5% and see how big you really are...

If it is the worlds strongest man competition then why is cardiovascular endurance a factor - It sickened me to see OD Drop out when he was easily the strongest that day. Then a quick guy like Magnus ver wins 4x... You've got to be kidding me...
PS - For Zavickus fans - his 1000kg (suited total) pales in comparison to Kazmaier's unsuited 1102.27kg total.

You really are a troll..aren't you?
MVM won on pure speed? Yeah...ok. I guess you forget that he won the deadlift events at quite a few worlds. Wait...he was also the European Deadlift Champion. To top off that he was stronger than nearly everyone else...he was also in better physical conditioning. The first year that Kaz won the WSM...he was in VERY good conditioning, which is a major factor in why he won.
Glad that you found a guy with 22" arms...I bet that your life is complete now and you can sleep better at night. 60" waist...great. Mind is 37"...a far cry from 60" and I enjoy 2-3 lbs of meat a day, 10 pounds of rice a week, 3 liters of whole milk a day, couple of pizzas a week, etc... Hope you enjoy your clen and CKD diet.
20% body fat...ok. Troll...I see again.
5% body fat? Naaa....it's ok. It wouldn't help me on my way to getting better at my sport. Remember...I'm not a wannabe bodybuilder...I'm a strongman competitor.
Lying about where I live? I'm not. I live on a small island called Cyprus in the town of Limassol with my wife. I am originally from Murray, Kentucky and have lived here for 2 years. Your head is pretty thick...huh?

Cardiovascular endurance is part of the total package. You really don't understand the sport at all..do you?
Wait...above you say " Just because they use heavier implements now doesn't mean he is stronger. Back then they used lighter but went faster."
Wait a minute, dude...do you want it to be a test of strength or speed? Seriously...your agruement changes with the wind. You say that Kaz was stronger, he went faster with lighter weights. Now you say that speed shouldn't be a factor at the World's Strongest Man conest. Seriously man...make up your mind.
Z's 1k total was set when he was what...308 or just a little above? He is doggone 400 lbs now and a lot stronger. Nobody can take away Kaz's powerlifting total or any of his lifts though...freaking impressive.
Kaz did do very well at the events for his time, which are totally different than the events of today. Today they are much harder and heavier and strongman specific. I train the events at least once a week. On Sunday I did 10 events in 4.5 hours...sports specific.
The events that they did for the first SEVERAL years were easy to train for. Keg press, wheelbarrow race, wrist roller, harness pull, car deadlift, etc... It wasn't like doing atlas stones, fingled fingers, super yoke, etc... They weren't completely impossible to train for or totally foreign events. Heck...they were basically the same events every year that Kaz won.
I also agree that OD should have won that title and the event at the end was a bunch of crap. Totally too light. OD won the anvil loading event too...which was primarily speed but not running. I still wonder of the rumor about that event being thrown in at the last minute. If it had been...wouldn't OD have celebrated after the anvil load that would have given him the title? And why would they have had all events that day (anvil load and race) at a track? Still...a stupid event!!!!! What were they thinking?????
Seriously man...I can respect your opinion about Kaz or any other strongman but at the point in which you start saying things personally about me...you lose all respect.
And just to clarify...you have never done a contest, have never been on tv, and have no Pro card of ANY kind? And I am a "wannabe"?

Great pics BFold. You continue to be an inspiration here to many.
Kaz was an awesome strength phenomenon and could well have been the strongest man in the world in his time. I think there are few who would dispute that he was.
When Mariusz won the latest WSM (sorry, BFold, if I'm showing my ignorance of the various organisations), Kaz was there to ask him whether he was now the greatest strongman who ever lived. It seemed that even Kaz himself was prepared to accept that Mariusz has surpassed him.

Thanks man.
Mariuz won the WSM in 2005 by a margin of about 10 points I think (big in WSM terms). Mariuz is just flat out hard to even think about beating at their style contests. Big Zadrunus went undefeated in 2005 with IFSA as well (and beat him at the Arnold this year...heavy events).
