WSM 1993 - Log Press (Part 2/6)

The World Strongest Man competition 1993 in Orange, France. The competition was good but it could have been tighter. Gary Taylor was in good shape and fully deserved the title. Magnús Ver Magnússon was the runner up just like in 1992. Manfred Hoeberl had the biggest biceps in the world and he looked good.

[unsleep]

you are racist

[irishdubfoundation]

yes tagman may have hit the nail. i have no experience of lifting logs or any type of strongman lifts apart from tyre flips and car lifts. perhaps that is true and if so i stand corrected, at least tagman had the intelligence and manners not to go throwing insults (ie. moron).

tagman2 hit the nail on the head - comparing a bench press to a log lift is foolish and suggests that you have no strength training on which to draw knowledge.
