it's seem that you are a "very intalligent" person....

they didn't compete for the toy truck.

they compete for the honor "the world's strongest man." the truck is just an object but the honor is divine.

any real sports man ain't going to a competition for the trophy. he's going there for the win.

I used to be a house mover for a few years and found that if you hold the weight above your waist it becomes a lot easier to carry. I'm only a small guy but with that technique i could carry a Fridge by myself comfortably. You can try it for yourself, grab something heavy, hold and carry it above your waist. You'll find its much easier than letting it sit in your arms.

Its hard to see in this video how truly huge Ted Van Der Parre is. He does not look as bulky as the shorter guys, because Ted is 7 feet tall!

I feel bad for JPS, you can see clearly that he looks tired and out of shape

[Elvis Florian]
