Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22063 posts	Yes, the 1998 final was one of the worst ever. I enjoyed the heats though.

Only Ahola,Girard,Pfister ? i love Phillipi and Kiri but they were not 'strongmen' There was only Samulesson, Ahola, Pfister, De Bruyn and Zijlstra left at the end.. Everyone else was puking their ring up. A mate of mine was out there to watch and ended up running camera cables as the crew were all ill as well.

Kettlebells RULE !!! Member 3699, 407 posts	Not disagreeing, just interested, why's Phillipi not a 'strongman'? He seems popular now as an S&C guru in the states.

Ne n coner a fuickex .ay ouse part we .be Member 1425, 4647 posts SQ 340, BP 227.5, DL 335 902.5 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq	ursus said:Farmers walk,Hussafel stone,log lift,conans circle,power stairs,car flip it was not a good year !! For example Ahola won the log lift with grinder of 147.5!! Earlier on in the thread someone mentioned Samuelsons squat ??? Samuellson reportedly never squatted big .......his max was 280 280 ? How is that physically possible someone of His size also I assume he was using when competing at that level surely that can't be his max what do most of the wsm guys squat I would have thought all wsm athletes would be repping more than 300 Or am I totally out of touch with strongman

Kettlebells RULE !!! Member 3699, 407 posts	Plus Magnus claims to be lifelong clean... I see what you mean Martin but aren't Savickas, Best, Kazmaier etc. etc. across the ages Powerlifters turned strongmen?Surely it's a fantastic and arguably the best base to work from? Was it '98 where Phillipi blew his knee on the Conan's? I remember watching that and nearly vomiting as a kid.

But bigZ and Kaz can/could move, they have athletism the others don't

I think Jay means they are really power lifters, and I would agree yeah simply he was a big strong powerlifter but not someone expected in a wsm final. A lot of very strong people are s**t at strongman ,just look at the events in 1998 an athlete with good conditioning and speed was always gonna win.

Samulasson got in to strongman through arm wrestling Ahola through powerlifting Capes through athletics How the hell did Manfred Hoebel get in to it? Is there a worlds biggest arms contest that he was spotted at? Still, he was by far my favourite strongman growing up
