 woefully weak Member 4748, 1506 posts SQ 157, BP 133, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | Benfrancis1993 said:Oberst proved how good he is again. (Sarcasm intended) I actually like Oberst but did you see that video recently when he calls himself "one of the strongest men ever"? He hasn't exactly earnt the right to throw phrases like that around, yet! | ||

 Nothing left in the tank.

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | I am pretty sure Oberst said before he used to play American Football. He doesn't move like anyone with any athletic background. The other big guys from a sporting background move much better such as Shaw, Terry Hollands and Mike Jenkins did. | ||

Doesn't like tall people very much. Member 5708, 391 posts SQ 260, BP 195, DL 275730.0 kgs @ 137.5kgs UnEq | Mikeneto said:I am pretty sure Oberst said before he used to play American Football. He doesn't move like anyone with any athletic background. The other big guys from a sporting background move much better such as Shaw, Terry Hollands and Mike Jenkins did. What did Jenkins play? I know Thor and Shaw were basketball and terry was rugby. Sports with obviously a lot of running. I know almost nothing about american football, but it does seem that the big offensive linemen don't need to do much actual running, just a lot of wrestling or short drives forward. I always assumed that was why they could be so big compared to other sportsmen. You can't run for 80 minutes and be 400lbs. I agree with what you said, he doesn't move that well. I think he'll struggle to become a regular in the final whilst his deadlift is 'only' around the 360-380 mark. I don't imagine he squats well either. | ||

I believe Mike Jenkins was an American Football player in his youth/college etc. | ||
