I'm daft. Member 6148, 93 posts | http://metro.co.uk/2017/04/04/can-former-worlds-strongest-man-... Yeah, I mean _look_. Not the actual lifts. He still looks strong and in shape, although retired for 10 years. | ||

Member 5867, 9 posts SQ 315, BP 210, DL 330855.0 kgs @ 135kgs UnEq | His Hand / Gripping strength has always been among the very best in the world honestly if there's anywhere id say he'd still beat most people its with grip. Well him and Joe Kinney. | ||

I am from Germany so i know what i talk about. Member 5171, 1049 posts SQ 217.5, BP 160, DL 233.5611.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | But i don't know if his straight bar cheatcurls with 140 and his 272.5 x 2 bench were for real... | ||

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22040 posts | He won a bench for reps event in a strongman comp, beating Hugo Girard. I believe his bench numbers. Never heard that rumour before. | ||

Svend and magnus doing piss easy reps with 140kg on a barbell. The strongest curlers are cyplenkov and sarychev and even they couldn't do it that easy. Straight barbell vs Ez bar is a huge difference. | ||

Mikeneto said:Bench was fake..he spray painted some plates I read. Hahaha, do you seriously believe that? Who's your source? Internet rumours can be made any time by anyone, and counts for s**t. I read somewhere that someone allegedly got their plates back red-painted. That's too absurd. I'm amazed some people actually believe these outright deranged lies, and takes them for facts just because some internet guy said it was true. So Svend is in on the lie, or did Magnus fool him as well? And Colin Bryce?  No real person with a name and an identity has called Magnus a liar and a con artist. That should be enough for anyone not completely mad not to believe this absurdity. | ||

The strongest curlers are cyplenkov and sarychev and even they couldn't do it that easy. Straight barbell vs Ez bar is a huge difference. Magnus had very weak squat and a weak deadlift and could still reach so many WSM finals and the podium another four times only through his amazingly strong upper body. Those curls are real. | ||

Member 6109, 18 posts | Post Edited: 12.06.2017 @ 09:45 AM by hansgreta Yes that video is probably real, as Magnus was a strong bencher. However he lost a bench for reps event in a strongman comp in 2008 against Derek Poundstone, which makes me suspicious. Poundstone was not a 270kg+ bencher. | ||

 more like 'FAT TROLL' Member 984, 6331 posts SQ 420, BP 260, DL 3351015.0 kgs @ 165kgs UnEq | Poundstone best bench was 260kg I believe. I believe Magnus' bench numbers, dude was a unit and had huge arms. | ||
