I'm just going to quote something I posted in YLLS, because it's badass.

World's Strongest Man 2015 is underway.



This event is called Thor's Hammer. Of course, Hafthor Bjornsson won his heat.

Literally everything related to World's Strongest Man competitions are insanely badass.



Here is a man wearing a car. And actually moving. They RUN with those.



Just pulling a boat and a truck no big deal.



Oh, anchors are supposed to hold things in place? That's cute.

For those of you that haven't watched one of these competitions before you probably should at least once. It's bonkers what these dudes can pull off.

You aren't kidding. Before I watched one, I thought it would be boring as poo poo. I thought it would be watching different types of overhead press for several hours. Then I actually watched. Holy gently caress, it's seriously insane. There is no other word for it.

It's okay if you have any questions.


The best part is how the events change over time. At the 2014 Arnold Classic (the other big event besides WSM), the yoke walk involved carrying 1200 and 1400 lb. yokes for 10 feet. This year's event is 1300 and 1500 lbs. for 15 feet.

Arnold's not as big as he used to be, but he was never the size of Brian Shaw.

Yeah, Arnold was a bodybuilder, a profession approached in a complete and wildly different manner than Strongmanhood.

It's like the difference between a sculptor and a bulldozer builder.

Or between a sculptor and an architect. The architect has to worry about everything staying load-bearing, or else people will accidentally die :v:

Hey! It's Phil Pfister, 2006 World's Strongest Man, and the first American to win since Bill Kazmeyer in 1982. Phil seems like a pretty chill dude, and still does pretty drat well in the competitions for a man nearing his middle-40s.

I love The World's Strongest Man competitions. Sorry, MET-RX World's Strongest Man competitions.

Anthony Davis, one of the best defensive players in the NBA, tells Dante Cunningham to move aside so he can guard Steph Curry, one of the best offensive players, one on one late in the 4th quarter in game 2 of the playoff series.



Unfortunately the moment got ruined when Golden State called a timeout, but still I love a good showdown.
