@ItalMafioso they do.... but not as much as a bodybuilder... they use strength building steroids, compared to bodybuilders who use strength size and cutting types of steroids, its all good though i respect them all the same even tho they're juice'n
@americanbadass911 there are no strength building steroids asshat,all anabolic steroids build strength through increased muscle size and recuperative abilities.
I met Travis Ortmayer the other day, he's actually a very calm, softspoken guy. You'd figure he'd be all cocky and arrogant because he could walk around with an airplane on his back, but he's a very cool guy
that is what i want to be. just strong. who gives a fuck about having a mr olympia body? that shit is just for show. only for the ladies. i aint working out for the bitches. im working out so i can outlift your ass
@gsboss i dont think the ladies like the olympia bodies lol. i'd want to be close to olympia size, but the strength of a strongman. that would be badass
hes has done a great job at losing his fat but he neededs now just to put back on some muscle so heavy events are less difficult but he is still one of my favorites
Travis in 2010 almost could've took 2nd if it wasnt for that injury. But 3rd for sure because i know he couldve beat Mika in the stones. I hope to see him next year. No BS you better keep an eye on him.
MORE likethe song "THIS ANIMAL" fits you better brotha!! You're a total inspiration for me, my training goals and career projection to become a personal trainer. Came to YOUR gym today and spoke to Damien about what I gotta do to get the ball rolling and start work!
Thanks guys! It's really hard training with so much of my time devoted to the little one but it's also very MOTIVATING!
You guys are also right about how hard I've been working on my conditioning. I was 21% bodyfat going into the 2009 Arnold Ctrongman Classic. This year (2010) I went to WSM at 8%!! Of course I think this was a little too low. I was 11% at the Arnold 2010 and I think that was perfect.
@Texasstoneman How were you able to go from 21% to 8% while still maintaining the strongman/powerlifting workload? Were you just very conscious of your calorie intake? Did you add some extra conditioning/cardio work? Or did you do some kind of special thing like carb timing or eating certain things at certain times?
I'm very interested because I'd like to drop some blubber as well, but at 270 lbs and lifting 4 times a week, I'm not sure how exactly to go about it.
@dlinechamp78 I was trying to mimic the power stairs.If you watch the WSM 2000 you will see they had a lot of short steps,and the guys who did the best were almost taking a step forward before the implement was hitting the ground so they were ready to hit the next step just a little bit faster than the other guys. It may have only saved a half second but add it up- 25 steps x .5 sec each =12.5 seconds saved. But then they went ahead and changed it making it even more brutal with the BIG steps!!
I feel that Travis can Take the WSM tittle because of his hard work and intensity that nobody else has goddamn bones standing in his way
