 as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11330 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 08.03.2016 @ 17:54 PM by Wiegieboard drex50 said: why terry holland competed 180+ bodyweight at 2006 WSM natural by his words how many people can come close to this size without drugs im not talking about sterngth, just size Devils advocate here but... Lance Armstrong said:"I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs." Hollands IS a bloody big guy though. Structurally you can see it. He's a giant! | ||

Member 4760, 203 posts | drex50 said: this is absolutelly impossible in his case there are a few big guys who can handle big bodyweight i dont think Hall is one of them I'm not saying the interview lied, but I wonder if Ed is on medication to control blood pressure at least. I recall him saying in an interview once that his blood pressure was through the roof so he cleaned up his diet. While that might help some, I can't see diet changing it that much if not accompanied by weight loss (which he obviously hasn't done). | ||

 It's a moonface era now. Member 5901, 956 posts | HeavyFuel said: I'm not saying the interview lied, but I wonder if Ed is on medication to control blood pressure at least.

Mask it or Casket !! Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | Then Shaw jumped in his bed before the sheets had even got cold... wouldn't want him as a mate, that's for sure! Just cant get over that, that's why I will never be a Shaw fan, his ethics are shoot to bits. drex50 said: dont want to speculate but a few months before Jenkins death he said his bp was 120/80 perfect. and he died in his sleep, which is usually caused due to clogged blood vessel | ||

31.6 and Obese !! Get in.... Member 869, 1355 posts SQ 320, BP 200, DL 310830.0 kgs @ 97.5kgs Eq | I'm no massive fan of Eddie by any stretch of the imagination, having said that, he came accross pretty well on this 'inside out' thing. I'm not too sure what his actions are saying about the sport in general though. Is he actually doing it any good ? When you openly admit that you are likely to die in the next few years if you continue in the same fashion I'm not sure it paints a good picture of the sport. Mr Capes looked a treat at the end too ! | ||

Can a sport be sustainable and continue to develop if the elite have to take life threatening/shortening risk to succeed? | ||

Doesn't like tall people very much. Member 5708, 391 posts SQ 260, BP 195, DL 275730.0 kgs @ 137.5kgs UnEq | Although not a sport as such the number of premature deaths in WWE (WWF back when I watched it) is staggering. Drugs play a big part in that, although the steel chair shots don't help. | ||

nothing to hide, please follow my life on webcam Member 255, 3732 posts | High profile sports like F1 (& other motor sports), Rugby and boxing have made significant efforts to try to reduce the risks. I don't suppose figures are available but if you consider the relatively small number of top strongman we have unfortunately lost a significant number early. Unlike most of the other sports listed above, elite strongman competition is unlikely to be life threatening. It is, as it sounds like Eddie is saying, possible very unhealthy. | ||

To be fair though mate couldnt you say that about all competitive sport at the top level? Football isnt life threatening but how many ex players are virtual cripples by middle age? | ||

 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Wes said:I'm no massive fan of Eddie by any stretch of the imagination, having said that, he came accross pretty well on this 'inside out' thing.

I just watched it and agree that I'm not a big fan of Hall but thought he came across well. I get what you're saying about it not painting a good picture of the sport but I liked that someone was being honest and open about the risks involved in being that big and the sport/lifestyle in general at that level. Too often the premature deaths are just written off as a hereditary congenital heart defect that had nothing to do with them competing in Strongman. | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | jwp said: Is the peter crouch physique viable for basketball? Yes, without a doubt you can still be a great player with that physique (I am thinking someone like Kevin Durant) but the trend is certainly towards stronger, more athletic, more visibly muscular players. | ||

I always kinda thought that but for sure it seems America (tm) says you need to be muscular and strong to compete. Which while theoretically true in terms of agility, foot speed and turning mid sprint etc the same is true of football yet there are all kinds of player physiques competing at the top level even now in the post best/gazza nutrition-led training age. It just seems like one way or the other in broadly similar sports (duration, semi contact at best, run around hopefully with a ball and try to make some yards or space... yeah close enough) disregarding height which obviously is way more useful in bball, there seems to be such a disparity in what scouts and teams look for. Maybe i just need to stop getting most of my nba information from youtube clips and asda shelf librarying muscle and fitness | ||
