Anyone watching the World's Strongest Man competition on ESPN2?
It's pretty cool!
You have to be able to deadlift at least 800lbs to compete in this thing from what I can tell.
They said the car deadlift was almost 700lbs and they were doing 6-10 reps with it.

Yesterday ESPN2 was showing reruns from the past several years. I watched the 2000 one. The shows are entertaining, to say the least.

I watched several of them off and on. I just didn't know what year was being shown. I didn't take the time to do any info search either but I did like watching them. Even the "smaller" men were friggin huge. I can't imagine being that size.

actually, they say on each show which year it is.

I saw one from a while back where Franco Columbo Dislocated his knee carrying a refrigerator on his back. I believe Lou Ferrigno was in the same competition.
Mariusz does dominate quite well, but I bet we see some new blood come up this year.
