FFS, that is what irritates the f**k out of me with 'Strongman' I know they used to have it, but like you say its got very little to do with being strong. f**king TV show! Why don't they ditach that even and replace it with female mud wrestling with myself and Andy as the judges, special bonus points for clothes removed (off us if needed).

They should also make sure they grease the atlas stones, have metal splinters sticking off the famers walk handles and any truck pull should be done in ice skates while the truck is driven in reverse, and don't forget to throw in the lama lift and the rhino run for good 'strength testing' measure.

Mark Henry? There are many others too...

Personally I think it's a good change of pace and would quite like to see it... I've only ever seen videos of Kazmier etc doing it.

I remember watching the head to head tug of war at Englands Strongest Man 2006, that was good - especially when two of the competitors almost ended up in a full on fight Tongue

I'm not saying wrestlers can't be strong, just its not a test of strength. I am sure an Olympic 90KG weight wrestling champ would probab;y beat most SM

isnt it just umo type wrestling, rather than olympic wrestling? surely making it more to do with bodyweight and pushing strength?

But still, i would assume most Sumo's are nowhere near as strong as SMs, but would beat the vast majority!!

I sound like an argumentative t**t LOL, just dont think it a great test of strength though!!

I fully agree with you JC, if anyone has ever done Judo, jujitsu, wrestling etc they know how to use mass against thier opposition. I was around 19st when playing rugby and I remeber being owned by a 13st centre, also happened to be on the GB Judo team, my weight and strengh were used to make me hit the ground a s**t load harder.
Strength, strongman style strength has f**k all to do with wrestling ability, once they are off balance, which will happen they will move as easily as anyone else.

LOL There are so many rumours going around about Jimmy Marku...

...410kg squat
...310kg front squat

One thing is for sure though, he has the biggest calves I've ever seen.
