[THE BOUNCER]

most of them juice bro. the difference in the body type is genetic. as for bodybuilders competeing in the worlds strongest man, a few of them are former bodybuilders. also i believe Lou Ferigno competed back in the 80's and did pretty good.

 

[JP@Ironology]

Franco Columbu competed too! He did well until he broke his leg carrying a refrigerator on his back.

1st place is only $30,000.00, I don't think they drug test

There are some awkward events, not like most BB exercises. I often wonder how they would do also probably not as good as you think most practice these "unusual lifts yr round". I'd be afraid many might get injured but who knows. I hear Coleman dead lifts almost 900lbs I seen some smaller guys do almost 1000lbs with these big awkward square boxes of some sorts. Also many squated almost 1000lbs with poker machines on their backs on a smith type rack for protection if dropped.

Lots of injuries from strange type of lifts often occur and many have to quit. I am watching worlds strongest man now and can't believe how strong some of these guys are and they don't look very impressive at all. A few do others look just like "big guys".

Some events are suited for short people others are for taller people, like the rock lifting event small "short guys" have difficulty's because they cant reach the height to place first stones on. Some are 6'7" I seen one guy 5'3".
He didn't last very long.
It seems most Americans rarely win. Seems Finland, Norway competitors always do well.

One dude was 6'7" 411lbs.

WELL if they dont test for AS.. wouldnt it be rather easy for one of these naturally huge mofos just to take alot of shit for strengh.. like var/fina @ high doses.and just dominate

thanks for the replies

[bigerisbetter]

of course they juice!

 

[the urge]

Of course they juice is right!! A friend of mine worked out at Bill Kazs' gym a couple of years ago and worked out with him occasionally and told me stories of when he was "on". I mean they are competing internationally to be the "worlds strongest man" of course they juice

 

[KA-BAR]

No one would show up if they drug tested.

 

[Heffe]

I compete in these competitions at the amateur level. There is not a lot of correlation between how much one can deadlift or squat and how good you'll be on the superyoke, farmers walk, or stones, especially when tried for the first time. Those lifts help but there is no substitute for practice and technique with those events. Every comp I've been too throughout the country has had one or two big local lifters just show up thinking they are going to kick everybodys ass, after the first or second event these guys become very humble. And there is LOTS of drug use!!!

 

[Ulter]

No Ronnie wouldn't hang. He can't even walk from the Green Room to the couch on Leno without having to take a minute to catch his breath.

I agree with you as far as having to practice the different techniques. Powerlifting involves quick bursts of power whereas the strongman contests require that you don't get winded easily and can lift a ton.

 

[DangerousGrounds]

One lift event requires lifting 2, 275lb (550lbs total) oxygen tanks (w/steel handles) running with them at your side 3 laps turning around 3 times (I assume about 1/4 mile) total best time was under a minute.

I lot of short powerful guys have no problems with certain events, not picking up stones but putting on ledge as the first one is about 5 feet in the air. Tall guys really have the advantage on this one same as when they tip the steel logs over hand over hand til it falls over.

Short guys have advantages in the dead lifts cause the bar is so high they only have to bend bar and get upright and lock (only a few inches for short guys), wheres the 6'7" dudes have to dead lift the weight about a foot off the ground to lockout to be a complete good dead lift.

Seems overall tall guys have advantages with long arms for pulling ropes and running with weights.

I seen quite a few "Big Farm Boys" (non Juicers) stronger than shit at certain things that I wasn't. Yet I was way stronger at gym lifts than they were. Like heaving heavy shit and walking with it, techniques.

Most bodybuilders would never be able to do as they are more musclebound and not trained but for normal gym lifts (grips). I bet many would get injured pretty bad unless lots of practice.

 

[swoldier]

That is like saying does Ronnie or Nasser El Sonbaty juice? Of course they juice dip shit

 

[uwanafight2]

No one would show up if they drug tested.

thanks for the kick of reality... i bet the general public believes they dont. "there just naturally big guys"... i guess this is because they have higher bf's??

[ImThatGuy]

Fuck that bloated piece of shit Ronnie Coleman. Those guys are ten times stronger than body builders. They are born "naturally" strong and atheletic. Anabolics enhance their strength beyond anything human. BB'ers are to strict about their movements and routines to get that strong. Just my $.02

 

[The Terminator]

No Ronnie wouldn't hang. He can't even walk from the Green Room to the couch on Leno without having to take a minute to catch his breath.

LOL. So true, I understand he fits the meathead BB stereotype pretty well from his interview. (I didn't get to see it, but I think I remember reading a transcript of it)

 

[liftsiron]

ulter No Ronnie wouldn't hang. He can't even walk from the Green Room to the couch on Leno without having to take a minute to catch his breath

This would be a funny post, if not for the fact that its true.

 

[BigAndy69]

World Strongman Competition are not concerned about testing for roids...they do test for speed...they don't want any competitors dropping dead.

I wonder how he keeps his job with the police dept, Id love to see him try to chase someone down...

"LIGHT WEIGHT!!" lol

 

[lonewulf]

Whats the guys name who won the 2002 met-rx worlds strongest man? That guy wasnt just strong, he was very big,and had a respectable bodyfat level. He really dominated the whole thing, he was very confident, almost cocky, but i think he deserved to be. I think he was 275 competing against much larger competitors, and still was by far the best.-WULF

Your a douche bag. that would be a 4 minute mile,.........unlikley to say the least.

Obviously that original post was a typo on the distance, as 99.9% of the US population can not run a mile in under 4 minutes.(that's without) carrying any weights. I have seen the event though and it looks gruelling, to say the least.

moronic comments and insults like that make great board like elite look bad,. so SHUT UP. OR DONT REPLY!

I'm a douchbag?

ok I said (I assume it was about a quarter mile) it was in meters not sure how many but you get the idea.
Tactless name calling is not needed Mac.
I hate people who ruin boards by name calling, grow up and think before you talk.

Bad Karma to those who deserve it for un-called for flamers and name callers.

take care, Cheers!

If you are talking about the polish guy.......he hardly dominated. He got beat in the heats and humbled in the events requiring all out strength in the finals. Bfold has also posted the results of a Grand Prix that happened just after the Worlds. The Polish guy came in fifth. Sure that isn't too sloppy, but he didn't dominate at all.

 

[DangerousGrounds]

Mariusz Pudzianowski I believe

Thats him

Heres the link that Bfold posted the Grand Prix results on........theres a couple of links too I believe.

I found a link, not sure if is the main Met-Rex one

Johnny Perry Passes Away
Johnny Perry, World’s Strongest Man finalist and a true giant, passed away from a heart attack. He was 30.

Formerly known as Steel when a member of Extreme Championship Wrestling, Johnny brought an engaging personality and amazing size to the sport of Strongman.

At the 2002 World’s Strongest Man Competition in Malaysia, Johnny weighed in at 390 pounds at 6’5”. And it wasn’t fat. With a 42” waist to go along with 25” biceps, he was lean. “He was bigger than life,” said American Strongman Walt Gogola. “He could stop traffic just by walking down a sidewalk.”

You seem to be under the impression that only people who are lean take gear. That isn't the case. Bodybuilders maintain that lean look for only short periods.......they bulk up alot in the off season. Imagine what those strongman competitors look like underneath the fat........you would be looking at some serious size and thickness. There are also ways of taking gear that minimise weight gain and increase strength........it isn't what most people think of when they think of taking gear but people do it none the less.

I don't seriously think todays top bodybuilders would do well in SM competitions. Its a different way of lifting. I know that in the past bodybuilders have competed but those competitions were very different from todays........today you have to compete against specialist strongmen who are very skilled at what they do. To do well you have to practice and practice each event to get the technique down. Similarly, you wouldn't expect a strongman to do well in the Olympia.
