World's Strongest Man marathon

[JOKER47]

He had dropped about 30+ pounds getting ready for Nationals, hurt his back BADLY, and went to Worlds 2 weeks later anyway. He is trying to market himself and make money at this sport...

Did he hurt his back in competiton? I saw him on the squat event, and he looked like he was in pretty bad shape.

In September he weighed 270. In December he was at 315...interesting huh?

Maybe I mis-understood, but that sounds like he GAINED 45lbs from Sep to Dec. Did he drop weight from 315 for the Worlds? When exactly was the Worlds held? (I know they just started showing it on ESPN.)

I believe that he was pretty beat up before Pro US Nationals in August. He had dropped to 270 or so by that contest and I believe that his back was bothering him before the contest. He re-injured it on the squat event at Nationals in August.

Yes, he gained 45lbs from September (Worlds) till December. He normally competes at around 290 or so. Worlds was held 2 weeks after Pro Nationals.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Did he drop all that weight trying to market himself? How did he expect that to help anything?
