True Wayne.

However, I also reflect that there is a bigger picture. Ed has secured his legacy and families financial future in bleak times.

The concept of putting the length of your life into question to secure your families economic future is alien in our society of 'life in a cage'. Years ago raiders did it. Look at the Vikings etc..

I have nothing but respect for him. He's a warrior. Be free young Ed. Go win sir.

Let's hope he wins it.

I don't buy the whole securing his family's financial future through strongman. Before going pro in strongman he was an hgv mechanic I believe and while he wouldn't have been on rockstar money there it would have been a decent enough wage and plenty to support his family.

No one goes into strongman to get rich as is shown by the fact that even at wsm the majority of guys still have day jobs.

I don't get ed sacrificing his health and missing out on time with his kids in pursuit of his wsm aspirations but I guess it is his life and he can live it how he wishes. I also suspect he doesn't give any f**ks about mine or anyone elses opinion.

Even though I don't like ed I still kinda hope he does win wsm soon so he doesn't kill himself chasing his wsm dream.

It is all male ego and nothing to do with being "Vikings" whatever that means.

He wants the title of world's strongest man which is a great title.

The money earned is hardly going to turn his family into the Rothschild or Rockefeller.

Badly thought out post. Iron brotherhood posts are always cringe.

90% of people in the gym lift to look more attractive...which is usually pointless because of face.

9% lift to get stronger for ego reasons.

1% lift for health....all old people (50+)

Obviously statistics made up...but an observation.

This. Anyway it's doubtful he is going to keel over atm. However he has no doubt already increased his chances of reducing his life span.

Each to their own but it's not a heroic life choice. I'd suggest actively wanting to be around to see his children grow up and have grandchildren is far more laudable goal.

Good luck to him and his family.

Lets face it. He has a brilliant chance of winning this year.

Love him or loath him, he's a fantastic strongman and is definitely improving all the time.

Agreed.

Purely from a selfish point of view I am glad he does it..he makes strongman a lot more exciting. He is more of an exciting strongman to watch at 200kg than at 160kg.

a decent training regime and diet aimed at reducing BF towards single figures and certain supplements (esp ones that don't increase bloat) can modify the facial aesthetics positively towards attractiveness. Better cheek definition, sharper jawline
