glenn ross britains strongest man was a BBr so were many of the others.

Glenn Ross may have looked OK once, but have you seen his physique as a strongman? Disgusting fat piece of crap. Even strongmen think he's a walking coronary. If you've met Glenn Ross, you will also know he is an absolute d!ckhead.

FYI, most strength athletes were not BBers. They were powerlifters.

post up the routine you were doing so we can see why it made you lose strength/muscle.

It was 15 years ago, man. I can't remember that far back. The chick I used as a trainer won a pile of competitions. Maybe she didn't want the added competition and she put the kibosh on me ... I thought I should have been in the heavyweights (where she competed). She thought I should be in the middleweights.

Good news: I only wasted away for 6 months until I realized something was wrong.
Bad news: It took me 6 months to realize I was wasting away.

Yes. So did Franco Columbu. But Ferrigno and Columbu were unusual specimens in the world of BB

Haha, I just had to look that up, he last won back in 2001!

I think you're showing your age there

But yeah, there are no rules saying BBers can't become strongmen; you can't get big muscles without developing a lot of strength

that long ago ??? but i did see him entering the preliminaries of the worlds strongest last yr representing britain,so guessed he was britains strongest.

when i started lifting BBRs and PL-lifters all trained in the same gyms,and most did both,or started on one and moved onto the other.
