[Channel 5] World’s Strongest Man

as a fellow UKanian living in the USA, this thread is bringing up all sorts of old memories of when channel 5 was new and couldnt afford half-decent programming.

after 9pm it'd be softcore porn and during the day it was all "was hitler gay?" documentaries.

(Ive been in USA since 06)

edit - oh crap its not the UK channel 5. ignore me everyone

I enjoyed Strongman competitions back in the 1980s and 1990s. To many competitors to mention that were beasts.

Eddie, Thor, Shaw and Martins Licis are not only strong, they are also engaging characters. The Stoltman brothers are as entertaining as watching a brick wall.
 
If you guys want a full doc on the bodybuilding scene, while a bit dated, I do recommend Louis Theroux's coverage:

I'm guessing you weren't alive around the 1980s - 1990s Strongman events, as there were plenty of great characters back then, especially in the 80s with people like Bill Kazmaier, Jón Páll Sigmarsson and Geoff Capes to name a few.

Look up Tyson Fury and you have the answer.
Not at all comparable

These guys have terrible mobility and would gas 30 seconds into a fight. They cant even get out of bed in the morning without being in terrible pain

It's such an extreme and unhealthy lifestyle
