But, I'm going back as a bricklayer so happy again managing myself only Today I've put 10 years on my life I'm sure. Wayne_Cowdrey said:Loal, I'm a big Samuelsson fan Danny. I just wish his win had been in a better/heavier final. We could have done those events! | ||

His best lifts in competition include a 400 kg (882 lb) raw squat, 275 kg (605 lb) bench press with shirt and 250 kg raw bench press, 375 kg (827 lb) raw deadlift, and a raw total of 1015 kg (2238 lb). He once held the world record for a tire deadlift of 445 kg (981 lb). ...and dont forget Gary Taylor, he was a static monster for his day and always overlooked for some reason: Bench Press - 235kg (518lb) raw. Squat - 405kg (892lb) Deadlift - 357kg (786lb) raw, no wrist straps. Behind-the-Neck Push Press - 210 kg (462 lb) winning lift at 1995 World's Strongest Man Final Behind-the-Neck Push Press - 270.5kg (595lb) followed by 272.5kg (600.75lb) At strength seminar c. 1995 (if you want to believe that!)

We all know the answer. 3 grams of eq, 2 of tren, and 2 grams of sustanon per week. Eye bloat would speak of heavy slin use. Bless these hard working athletes. | ||

Taylor was a tremendous overhead lifter and dynamic athlete. He was not a static monster akin to Hall and Co, but perhaps the only one who could hang with today's crew given the chance. Taylor is possibly the best all round strength athlete in UK history -commonwealth athlete, gave Dorian Yate a run for Mr Britain, WSM. | ||

not stating facts. Member 3100, 502 posts | I spoke with Z on Saturday. He trained events. He still has a neck injury but is definitely competing at WSM. He said he will make the final but he is still recovering from injury but next year he will be fully fit.. He looks completely different in person and looks really lean and muscular.. | ||

 Member 5560, 769 posts | BrenWad said: Magnus could barely deadlift 700 pounds or squat 600lbs. He was a good bencher and mover of medium heavy weights. He would not qualify for a final today. Get them doing the sort of events they were doing in 99/00/01 with the sort of weights they had then and he may have a shot. He was a very good athlete. His events in 99 Carry and drag Truck Pull Loading race Herculees Hold Log Lift Tyre flip/carry medly With the weights used in 99 I think his speed would see him beat most of the modern athletes. Horses for courses really. He could deadlift around 750ibs. Not great by todays standard but enough to put him midfield in a final in his time. | ||
