ESPN Showing previous strongman shows

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

I think this is leading up to the airing of this years strongest man competition, but between 8 and 9 am (EST) ESPN Classic (I believe) has been showing older Strongman competitions. Usually it’s been 2 half an hour shows but I noticed on November 9th that there is 1.5 hours of Strongman. Same […]

Worlds Strongest Man photos

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

I found another group of photos from this years Worlds Strongest Man contest that took place in China. Not sure who took these pictures, but they seem to be a good grouping of the guys.

IFSA on the ropes?

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

There’s a couple of good articles over at IronMind.com in regards to some statements that the head of the IFSA said that make it sounds like they might be in financial problems or perhaps he’s just trying to reassure his athletes. You make the decision.

Gene Rylachek attempt at 1015

Monday, October 17th, 2005

I thought the Olympia was only for oiled up bodybuilders to display how much growth hormone they can take, but apparently Gene was there to try and break his previous bench press record. This time going for 1015. I’ll ruin the suspense here and say he doesn’t make it. It slightly crushes […]
