Tonka Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I havent been following the Strongman circuit but Nate and Wookie, who are your picks for the top 3 places? Big Z on track for another title or will Shaw take it out? Any injuries to any big names leading into into the champs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate225 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 lolone of my bros is 190kg and the other is 220kg, blimmin big heavy bugersIt's not all about weight though.My old training partner was up around 210, though he said he was well over 230 before he did weights (clocked scales at 230) :grin: I remember him starting out only benching around 120 for reps, pretty soon became 200 for reps as his bodyweight dropped and he traded fat for muscle. At 175-180 he was his most competetive to date but when he's down in the 160's he'll be a machine. He's a freak with legs over 40" but he knows when he's lighter and more mobile he'll be a better strongman, and will live longer! Fat doesn't equal Strong, the boys above in the top 5 WSM may weigh a huge amount but their %BF's are probably lower than most here. :nod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
