@gadigadigadigadi I cant lift that shit even if I was 2 times stronger than I am now. Those guys seriously deadlift 2 times more weight than I do. I'm just saying that straps are required because you can mess up your hands and wrists when lifting stuff that heavy. Straps don't even make it easier strength wise, it just reduces the pain in your wrist and hands.
@MrAssassinful u would be suprised. there is a prison documentary where u can see bodybuilders doing dead lifts more then 540 lbs without straps. i know its not strong man level but still..here is a link of the same guys doing squats and bench. cant find where they do dead lifts.. enjoy
@TheRuckanucka he doesnt sound retarded at all. he sounds like hes from northern Ireland. he has no trouble expressing himself so i fail to see your point.
@Nico374a It's sad that the pros' dependence on performance-enhancing drugs in various sports gives people the opportunity to belittle and trivialize anyone's achievements. I think other persons' accomplishments make someone who already feels inadequate and worthless feel even more impotent in life, and so this kind of stock criticism of athletes is just a form of bigotry, similar to claiming that weightlifters are all homosexuals or micro-brains.
@Scyllax Mate, let me explain this to you another way: In tour de france, if maybe the person who got number 27 gets caught using drugs, how could number 26, 25 and so on beat him?
@Nico374a You're assuming performance-enhancing drugs always work and always trump hard work, effective training, proper nutrition, good genes, and the rest. You are prejudiced, as I wrote before.
@Scyllax Maybe, but they ARE taking drugs. I know they got A LOT of hard work aswell, and only very few could do what they did, but drugs is a part of proffesional bodybuilding on that level.
Louis Cyr - has never been beaten in all of history. His recorded feats include lifting 1000 pounds (454 kg) with one finger and carrying 8552 pounds (1967 kg) on his back. He is the 'uncontested and incontestible' strongest man ever to live.
I always liked the friendship in Strongman. In general, there was no hatred or anything like that between the competitors, which can be rare these days
In 1987, the off-year, there was an invitational in Scotland, where Capes, Sigmarrson, and Kazmaier competed. Sigmarrson won seven events out of ten, and Capes had to withdraw due to a shoulder injury. He retired after that.
absolutely gr8 video. the golden era !! i was just wondering if anyone knew exactly wat kaz did 2 upset the wsm organisers so as 2 not get an invite for 5 years was it ??
Capes beat Tom Magee, John Gamble, Doyle Kennedy, Simon Wulfse and Jon Pall Sigmarsson en route to the 1983 title, so I don't see how it can be called a weak field, even if Kaz wasn't there.
Capes gained at least 5 pounds
