Anybody watching 'worlds strongest man' ??

It does still affect me but it has improved over time!! I disslocated my shoulder in a rugby match in 2004. I still have some slight damage to my bicep tendon because of it also.

My BF doesn't hinder my performance because I still move very quickly and it also helps on truck pull sled drags. Especially not at WSM where it is not a oneday contest like other events, those only last 2 hours!!

So have you just carried out a bit of research, so you can pretent to be Terry?
 
Cool

What kind of calorie intake do you have and how do you fit your dietary needs around work? (big problem for me sometimes)
 
I deadlifted 400kg back in December, that is my pb at the moment!! It was with straps due to having grip issues from my broken hand!!

Ask me all the questions you want, fact is I came on here to show my frustrations with silly comments made regarding my BF, fact is I should be judged on my performance not on how I look, it is not a BB contest and far from a beauty contest!! The silly comments regarding rolls of fat etc are quite frustrating!!

people that understand about different body shapes/types would know that not everyone is built to be small or look like a BB etc.

Hey man, I said sorry about that, in my aim to get as strong as you I'm gaining a fair bit of fat too, I don't see it as having to be a bad thing I was just saying that I thought your bf was too high and to be fair I've heard you say before that your diet wasn't what it should be
If 'rolls of fat' sounded offencive to you then I apologise again.

Yeah, thanks for that :)
 
Well I can't write back to your PM as I haven't been a member for 5 days.

Okay apology accepted!!

just perhaps you should choose your words more wisely in future!!

Anyway I hope you enjoy the show and you can see how much my fat slows me down on some of the events tonight
 
It used to be around 6000 a day but it's currently alot less than that! I changed my diet lots leading upto WSM and didn't count any amount. I was eating strict and clean every 2 hours. What the exact intake was I wouldn't know.

I gave up work a week before BSM (back in June) so I no longer have those issues with fitting it in.

Nope, hard work and a load of food.
Steroids are an excuse the weak use to explain why other people get better results

no steroids are a fact in the strongman game,and anyone who says they are not is talking bull****.

I'm sure some use, but I think it'd be wrong to say they all use or that you can't get that strength without them.

With the right dedication I think a clean athlete could reach that level

TBH mate i doubt it,unless they were genetic freaks.
these guys lift weights nearly every day along with practicing there events,without the help from steroids ie protein synthesis/recovery etc most naturals would fold.

I smell a challenge in there somewhere :)
 
How do you do that without over training?

It is not as hard as you think. The capacity for the human body to do work is much higher than most people realize.

If you look at in season training for most college football teams, for example, they lift weights for an hour 2 or 3 days per week. They practice 2-3 hours per day. They play a 3 hour game every week.

The best teams show up for a voluntary workout the day after the game.

And this is not counting any pre-hab / re-hab work or conditioning being done.

On the low end that is 15 hours of work per week. On the high end it is 21 hours of physical work.

From a strongman standpoint, not all training is heavy event training or heavy weight lifting. There are lots of things a strongman can do in training to increase work capacity, base strength, and in some cases speed up recovery time.

All of these things take time, and if you want to be great, time has to be spent getting better.

I will finish with a quote about Ryan Vierra, a multi-time world champion in highland games, when people were speculating whether or not Ryan was using performance enhancing drugs-

"Try wearing through the soles of your shoes and the bottoms of your feet from doing so many drills, or wearing out 3 VCR's watching film. Then start talking about why Ryan is winning all the time."
 
Or another good quote from a well known and very successful athlete.

"This is my body. And I can do whatever I want to it. I can push it. Study it. Tweak it. Listen to it. Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my ass six hours a day. What are you on?" -Lance Armstrong

of course it is,but if you dont realise that most TOP athletes,bbrs,rugby players,cyclist,strongmen,etc are on performance enhancing drugs then you are very nieve,think back to the viking sigmundson.
and before anyone says rugby players dont take it i know different,and the testing is pathetic they test something like 100 players per year thats only about two squads.
