Because he was better than everyone else and consequentially ostracized? Or are you actually implying that they're not all on gallons of grow grow juice?

Pudz tested hot for coke, and it cost him third or fourth or something (year Vasyl Virastyuk won). Iirc either rob kearney or oberst said they really only test for recreational drugs to make sure the guys arent gonna drop dead mid comp

Did you people get kicked off of fit.
This isn't a extreme sport.
This is strength sports which belongs on fit or sp.

Factually incorrect
>"/xs/ is a place to discuss all types of extreme sports and similar physical activities, which include (but are not limited to) skydiving, surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, climbing, rafting, bungee-jumping, parkour, BMX & mountain biking, airsoft, paintball, etc."
Emphasis on "not limited to".
Meanwhile,
>/fit/ - Fitness
>Images and discussion related to dieting, exercise, healthy living, and workout plans is welcome here.
>Relationship, dating advice, and "mental health" threads belong on /adv/.
&
>/xs/ - Extreme Sports
>This board is for the discussion of extreme sports and similar physical activities. This includes topics such as skydiving, surfing, skateboarding, climbing, bungee-jumping, parkour, BMX, airsoft, paintball, etc.
>Discussions about professional sports teams, leagues, and athletes should be posted to /sp/. Discussions about eSports should be posted to /vg/. Discussions about professional wrestling should be posted to /pw/.
Makes it pretty clear that /plg/ doesn't belong on /fit/. It very clearly falls into the /xs/ umbrella.

Different era, it was a much lighter sport then and plenty strongmen of the 90s-early 00s were lean as well. Svend Karlsen was an actual bodybuilder

Pretty tired and my knees hurt from all the squatting volume and walking around at the medieval fair. They had one of those scooters but said I was not disabled so wouldn't give it to me. I'd consider that cardio.

question for atrongman fags, how do you decide what to train and how do you structure it? lioe do u know what events are coming or do you generally just know theres gonna be a press, a carry and an endurance thing? i know with powerliftin every brainlet follows a handful of gay programs for cuckolds. do strongmen also follow a handful of gay programs for cuckolds?

Powerlifting style training is good for making you overall stronger which is still effective for strongman. But instead pf strictly training only sbd, rotate log/axle/etc regularly to keep competency in the movements and focus whichever events a comp might have 4ish weeks out.
>>160809
yes, I'm answering questions just in case there are any good faith posters here but this is actually a troll thread by a schizo who's trying to splinter /plg/ for some reason. If you want to talk more about strongman then /fit/plg/ is still the right place to go.

Who would win in a fight, a 140 lb karateman or a 275 lb strongman? Keep in mind the karateman’s speed is superior.

Big man wins it, anyone saying otherwise has watched too much anime.
Doesn't matter boxing, mma, no rules gutter fight its the same outcome. Playing it defensively Mark Hunt style would help the odds aswell but so long as Eddie didn't gas in 30 seconds by coming out if the hole like a maniac its over in boxing. In MMA all he would need to do is close the distance and clinch/lean on his opponent for a round or two until thier knees are ready to collapse. In a street fight he could literally overhead press him up and snap him over his fucking knee, game over.
Brainlets don't know weight classes are a thing for good reason.
