ultimate strongman World championships

Yeah, because no one is boxing or ufc uses drugs.....

And you accuse Sam of trolling!!

Never said they weren't. Doubt they use the same amount.

Have you ever did a combat sport before??

Sam knows I'm having a bit of banter.

I train with a few amateur mma guys and they eat halos like sweets

Of course they use gear. But in the pro game, they at least get tested.

I did Thai boxing for years, its actually how i got into the gym originally.
Getting hit in the face isnt as much fun as a deadlift PB though.

Then you should know how tough it is being a fighter. I use to kick box and have trained a fair bit of mma.

Very tough sport.

Big respect to thai boxers. I'd rather get punched, than take knees and leg kicks.

Why are we obsessed with fighting on this forum?

All sports are tough at the top mate. The best of the best in each are such elite athletes that they could be successful in any sport they chose. That was my point earlier.

Sent you a PM

Moonface!

You should be taking notes wayne! ill see you at St.Pancras

This thread turned very MT

This floored me!

Not as fast as Edd would floor Lesnar

I think most top level athletes have the potential to be the top in a multitude of fields which need a similar skill set.

Strongman = maximal strength, strength endurance, power

mma = strength endurance, power, co-ordination, timing, cardiovascular fitness

There is some crossover and with training the other things can be improved on, or may even already be there.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that Ed would make a great mma fighter if he decided to specialise in it.
