Sherdog Strongman discussion thread- Strongman classic looms

[PEB]

So I hear that a ton of money coming into the strongman and powerlifting scene in the next year competitions are going to get some big sponsor money as well athlete endorsement deals. You will see a lot of top competitors seeking residency in the US especially around the western part of the Country in the next year.

Just having some fun Very Serious Cat lol. Graves an me go way back more lols.

lol, I remember years ago when I started cycling for cardio in addition to lifting but was frustrated by lack of weight loss. Another guy on our team said,
"Do you want to look like a cyclist who lifts weights or a weight lifter who cycles?"
hm, good question.
I opted for the latter and even in my later years, I love riding but the weight room feels like home somehow.
plus I got hit by a fucking car today on my bike!
wtf?

WUS are holding an event featuring both Strongmen and Strongwomen at the same venue in Florida as the Eddie vs Thor fight on the same weekend.

Big Loz will be commenting at the strongman event.

Not sure on the lineup as it clashes with a Giants Live event here in the UK, but Mateus could be back on this WUS Show.

I wonder if the money will be enough to entice Thor to return

Yeah cyclists form and depth were perfect throughout. No disrespect to the winner but the cyclist performed the best, in my opinion. Thanks for the great video strength wars!

no doubt!

trying to remember a track cyclist guy I think Marty Nothstein from the US.

I watched something on his training once that dumbfounded me. These guys
are amazing IMO.

Too bad Tom and Luke are not going to the Shaws Classic according to them their sister getting married.

Dan Hipkiss (Luke & Tom's coach) is starting a podcast, not just going to be about strongman but will hopefully be worth checking out in future.

[Err]

Eddie is the strongman equivalent of the weird kid in high school who would cut water bottles with a sword thinking it’s representative of a meaningful skill.

Eddie seems to have faster hand speed and hit harder, but everything else looks much worse than Thor.
