World's strongest man competitions on ESPN

**skelooth** · 06-12-2006, 03:12 AM

Any of you guys watch these? Whenever one is on and I'm near a tv I will watch it. These guy's arms gotta be 20+ inches. I get a huge freakin kick. Last time I was watching, they were lifting.... a LOG shoulder press / clean style seeing who could do the most reps.... man I was so psyched up I swear I wanted to run out in the woods and start lifting random heavy objects (logs, stones, moose, etc).

I'm really.... a weight lifting nerd

I get worried about the powerlifters though.... they are always very bloated and generally 'round' looking because of all the food they eat, but you can tell they'd be candidates for IFBB pro material if they cut down. I don't think I'd want to look like a powerlifter.

Sort of makes me jealous that I'll never be able to lift that much. I am extremely weak for my size.

I record them all

and watch them all the time they get me so pumped to go out and lift

I watch whenever I can.

I find it very entertaining.

But I'm an iron geek so that's not a surprise.
