It's a joy to see Magnus Samuelsson's name there. We hardly seem to get any WSM on TV over here any more. I'll be looking out for this event on the off-chance that it's shown.

poundstone for the win

Luca Brasi · 08-24-2008, 07:38 AM

I like Wenta to win this year . Wish we got them on TV . Anyone have any dvd's /copies of any of the wsm events ?

kook · 08-24-2008, 08:17 PM

Some great names in that list. I do like the americans(poundstone,ortmayer) but I hope pudz comes in top of his game(people are talking bad about him,which is rediculous to me), if he wins then will be by himself with WSM wins.

Also like to see Arild haugen back at it this year, as well as seeing Loz Shahlaei in the mix, also Jimmy Marku.

Looking to get tickets now to WV.

ASGARDIAN · 08-24-2008, 08:41 PM

This contest i hope should shape up to be one of the greatest contests in many recent years. If Mariusz wins i would like to think he would be considered the greatest strongman of all time. His wins and sometimes how many points he won by reflects his dominance. Nobody is perfect and such Mariusz had lost a couple of times but, he has the most victories since 2000.
Although Mariusz is not as strong as others in the relm of strength and power, he is the epitomy of WSM. And when you see the list of the competitors there a lot of good names there. I can't wait to watch it in December on ESPN Classic and whatever i can get on youtube.

Polski Byk · 08-25-2008, 03:30 AM

With names like that on the competators list, IF Pudzianowski wins all the nay sayers can finally shut up, if he hasnt done enough to keep them quite. He may def not have the raw strenght as some of the others but his athletic ability is where he shines, and I sure you will see the best of him this year.

YouTube - 310 lb real log press for 11 reps

Poundstone ftw.. he's not only very athletic but he's extremely statically strong.

anybody whos ever done log pressing will understand just how absolutely ridiculous the above video is.. one of the sickest displays of pressing strength ive ever seen.

YouTube - Derek Poundstone Fingal Fingers

Poundstone doing reps with the heaviest WSM fingals finger from last year
