Phl Pfister Training Interview

[carnut476]

Mr, Phil pfister the Hillbilly bear .

[rezilience11]

all fucking natural. you say that no one before 1956 was that big....they didnt know half of the training techniques, nutrition, and styles to be the best at that time. now we do. Some guys, myself and phil included, can naturally pack on muscle and gain strength with relative ease. The benefits of a mesomorphic body type (look it up), years of dedicated lifting correctly, and the right nutrition create monsters like this

[fuertesyrobustos]

if he used "the shit" he wouldn't even fit in that already huge suit, he'd be totally mega massive, 400+ plus and with the strenght of 10 men at least.

[wedingo]

This guy is one of the biggest, strongest .. and he may be clean now, but there's no way to reach this level without using steroids ! Look at the athlete performances before 1956 when they became available. Also google for "History of Anabolic Steroids in Sports" to see what i'm talking about.

[remotehog1]

now we know what happened to bam bam flintstone when he grew up.

[KiheiBuilt]

hahaha good one

[patenge01]

Two words for anyone who thinks that you can't be strong without roids, Larry Allen, a 700lb bench presser and in the nfl which is absolutely roid free.

[AxelPRC]

@patenge01 hahahahaha the nfl is a joke when it comes to testing

[plumprandy]

This man is absolutly aganist use of drugs.6'6" 340lbs.For all you haters...ALL NATURAL. Sucks to be you. Give the man props for gods sake.

[rinonegro98]

and you are forgetting that he is a Firefighter :)

[plumprandy]

He was yes,but took on a different occupation.

[finalresistance]

How do you know this? Since drug tests are not administered in strongman organizations, stating to be a drug-free athlete is a claim doesn't hold any water.

[carnut476]

@plumprandy How can they be Gods if they view Southerners as human beings ?

[redfox1218]

If any of you knew Phil in high school you would know that he was even a beast back then. He was muscular and never even lifted. Not only that, he is definately one of the coolest dudes I have ever known in my life, and a great person. If you don't know him ,you should probably re-evaluate your opinions. We graduated high school together, and yes , he is huge!!

[PackManCrazy]

Pfister uses steroids, but his high body fat hides his freakish muscles. He cleverly realized that his usage wasn't as obvious as the other competitors, so he goes around saying "i'm drug free."

[powderskier21]

um, your wrong. and dumb also may i say. he says this in the video hes not fat hes fucking huge alot bigger than you.

[sconrad2010]

My cousin trained Phil.

[PhilM662]

USA strength legend. Amazing athlete.

[wolfgangle]

I don`t believe any proathlete to be clean and I couldn`t care less. There are millions of wimps that juice and there are only 10-20 in that guy`s league.

[IORef]

jamesbennett01: many would hope that was actually the case but it's been confirmed that mariusz tested positive for cocaine and his low bodyfat (at his size) is evidence to anyone who knows his shit that he does use steroidal ergogenic aids.

Except for the cocaine use, I, who don't use steroids, wouldn't take anything away from pudzianowski, he's a dedicated, disciplined athlete who certainly has worked very hard to achieve his condition. The same goes for all others.

[IORef]

They are just competing at a very high level where steroids are part of the equation, unfortunately some would say.

If pfister is indeed drug free that is very significant in terms of how future strongman training regimens will look like and in demonstrating that neuromuscular adaptations can be more relevant than pure muscular hypertrophy. hmmm..

[Jamesbennett01]

well.. they would not allow any athlete in the Worlds Strongest man if they had some sort of performance enhancing drug. In reply to what 'Bagzie' said, no offence or anything but all the athletes in the competition spends hours a day training, thats how they get to the condition they are in.

[BobArthur]

do you guys think he can keep the Title or do you think Mariusz will be the 3rd person to have it for a 4th time?

[dalesalsa]

Awesome. Class Act Alpha Male that I think will probably get better for 2007 if he wants to compete again. Excellent. I think we guys in the U.S. need role models like him now a days.

[avarius3]

And Magnus Samuelson.

[bagzie]

He could be the strongest drug-free athlete of all time. Kaz, Sigmarsson, Magnusson, Ahola and OF COURSE Pudzianowski were juiced up to their eyeballs. The only other great WSM athlete who was drug-free, I believe, was Geoff Capes.

[flashu]

so u actually think that old Philly is not juicing? Any strongman takes roids but who cares?

[raikkonen85]

and hes drug free

[jlesk68]

Phil is "Tha Man"...
