Any "Worlds Strongest Man" fans out there?
 

Been watching this for years now and its that time of year again. :luxhello:

Not too many people watch this, and I tend to bore people to death when I talk about it.

NO SPIOLERS THO PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as the final has already taken place.

I,ve watched the first 2 qualifiers and cant wait to tonights.

"Come on the texas stone man"!!!! :thumb:

Yeah, I love it, Was supposed to go Malta last yar, but didn't get a passport in time.
didn't know it was on yet, what channel?

Is Pudzianowski back this year?

He had two MMA fights, got battered by Tim Silvia, and retired. So not sure if he is doing Strongman again.

What's this doing in Sports? :wonder:

Oh yeah, I know, There is no "i'm a big gheyer" forum. :thumb:

No but there is a "I'm a big gheyer thread"

:D

:lol1:

No He's not in it this year, he's still wasing his time in MMA :lol1:.
I watched the silvia fight, couldnt stop laughing. Also watched the butterbean fight. also funny.

the WSM is on Bravo agian this year, the pre-qualifiers have been on this week but the proper contest starts on sunday @ 8pm.
You can watch this weeks episodes on skyplayer :thumb:

I thought he gave up after Silvia.
I'll have to watch that one, because at least butterbean should make him look good.

As for all the the other "gheyers" on this thread :hjtwofing :thumb:

Defo worth a watch mate.



:lol: Why do people feel the need to post sh!t on threads that they dont like? :wonder:



Come on Big Terry Hollands!!

It's on C5 again this year.

The guys are pushing it to another level :eek:

Same thing happened last year

:lol1:

Moderation states if you haven't a F*cking clue what the thread is about put it in Sport.

I know lol! They still keep raising the bar and this year the lifts in deadlift and overhead lifts compared to previous are up my some margin.

I like watching it. Don't follow it avidly though.

brits arnt doing as well this year :(

In terms of physical prowess and mental fortitude strongman is one of the toughest SPORTS out there.

No unfortunately. Mark Felix had the potential but his strategy was all to cock on many occasions. Big Terry Hollands has been high as third but I think he's past his best. Brian Shaw the American should have won last year and is going to take some stopping this year. A genuinely nice bloke he is, as is our own Loz Shahlei who defies belief with his own feats of strength. On his day I think Shahlei can keep up with the best in the world.:thumb:

I think Shahlei is the Brit to watch. Big Tel is a bit of a one trick pony now.
Anyone see Loz Shahlei on Del or No Deal earlier in the year? He looked huge against "normal" people. I never saw him actually have his day, just saw him as one of the box openers. Did they mention he was a strongman at all?

Very true.

A few years back my training partner worked on the door with Lee Bowers who made it to WSM one year. Had to pay to get there, for his efforts he got a t-shirt and some protein powder lol! Pretty pi$$ poor for being one of the best in the world at his chosen sport.

I've always watched it if it's on, used to watch it with my folks years ago, it's something different.

Full respect for the guys doing it, they are athlete's.

Travis ortmeyer did will tonight ;) would not have liked to have been near him at the time, I bet he was in a foul mood lol!

Well that was a see-saw final, well done to Brian Shaw.

I use to watch it when my a guy called Lee Bowers from my local town entered, but hes knocking on now.
