thats wot i was thinking. jack of all trades, master of none.


Except that some of them are genuinely world class at 3,4 or even 5 of their events. I'd hardly call that 'jack'. True they might not be the best at an event, but they are seriously good.

Doesnt Ennis hold British records or at least championships at individual events as well as the heptathlon?

have you actually whitnessed these lifts ?
i have seen guys in the training room full squat 200k at 52k bw
Ivanov (on utube) clean and jerk 170k (52k bw class) prob weighing 60k in training


Yeah dude I have seen plenty of those lifts in person. They dont usually do the clean and jerk as a main lift, but power cleans are and I know of a lot of guys that were power cleaning 180kg no problem.

Yep, heard he was living in Hull and playing American football (at what level I have no clue), so thought it might be for you guys!

There is also the University league, if he's a registered student he could be playing in that.

They are all huge strong fellas who can sprint at ridiculous speeds and take huge pummelings week in week out.
That impresses the hell out of me.


I think anyone could take a pummeling with all that armour and the helmets etc. Rugby is much more of a mans game IMO.

I'm not sure why any of them have to be better or more manly. Watch the ones you like, dont watch the ones you dont, but to say one is more manly than the other is pathetic male bravardo of the highest order.

there is one sport i think equals and in some cases is harder the rugby and american football. ozy rules.

but from personal experience in rugby the tackles are hard a brutal sometimes and in american football it just rugby with pads and forward passing.

still i enjoy watching both

Rugby and American Football are totally different games in the same was as strongman and powerlifting are.

Footballers wear pads yes - but it also inspires them to hit harder with less risk of injury to themselves - much like a boxer taping his hand and wrist and wearing a glove - not like the old pugalist days.

The rules of a tackle are different too - in rugby you have to make an attempt to wrap your arms around the opponent to show its not a shoulder charge - in football you can shoulde charge etc.

I don't mind watching the odd bit of Football - I prefer the collage game though as people try harder for contracts etc.

American Football isn't too bad to watch

My biggest gripe with American sports is when they proclaim it to be the 'World Championships' or so and so are 'the best in the world'

Aye, cause no f**ker else plays them!
