Love Mariusz, tremendous athlete, but if he wants to really compete it'll take awhile to make the transition. By the way, the strongest man on the planet is Andy Bolton. Six time super heavyweight world champion. Holds the current world record in the deadlift with 1003-also the squat at 1213-along with the highest total of all time for the three lifts 2807. Strongest man who ever lived, in my opinion.
