Great read that. I think the bodybuilding pic and training routine would shut a few haters up. He's just a big lazy fat f**ker is something i've heard in the past a good number of times. Always came from someone who he worked about 20 times harder than. | ||

Chief Moderator. Member 2712, 151 posts | It's a shame WSM was more athletic based when Glenn competed. If it was heavier like now I think he would have done much better. He always lost too many points on the moving events from what I can remember. | ||

 Help me rescue my Insulina. Member 5366, 1090 posts | I just don't get it? I mean, people like Cutler and Ronnie bang on about how they eat 100 egg whites per day and a stupid amount of calories to build masses and masses of muscle, plus there's all the PEDs and slin, hgh etc. But they aren't even that big. Sure in 'proportion' they look enormous but stood next to joe public they just ain't that big.  | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5207 posts | Would love to have seen how Mark Henry would of faired as a full time strongman. Obviously he has made a fantastic living but according to many, his freaky strength was unmatched when younger. He did win an Arnold Classic with apparently minimal training. | ||

Sure in 'proportion' they look enormous but stood next to joe public they just ain't that big. They are both retired. Dont recall of either saying they ever ate 100 egg whites a day but back when he was competing coleman had his arms to 23.5 inches in contest shape, around 3%. The average mans arm is 13.5 inches and bodyfat up over 20%. Ronnies arms were in no way out matching any other muscle group. Comparing these guys to shaw and saying they small could be said for millions of individuals most would consider massive. Brian is literally more the size of a bear than a man. | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5207 posts | To be fair Ronnie is not at his biggest in that photo. Paul you are right. His arms were apparently 23 plus inches on stage at 3% bf. He was also to 300 on stage. At 5'10. He was a freak! | ||

Brian is literally more the size of a bear than a man. shaw is big but has pretty narrow shoulders and no chest for his frame and has ugly phisique for strongman-powerlifter thor is blessed with much better genetics and if he is Shaw's weight he will look enormous | ||

I met him at the weekend, I'm a pretty big guy compared to your average person, but stood next to Shaw I looked like a skinny 12 year old. Absolute beast, and a very nice man also | ||
