I read Capes’ autobiography years ago. It was actually very entertaining. Lots of stories of post competition epic pub crawls and brawls. I think they were easily as good as these two jokers fighting. Just needed the modern day juice. Strongman has got to be second only to bodybuilding as the most PED filled sport. I really think it must be.

Wow profound words.

Nobody even pretends they don’t take PEDs in these sports man.

Your like a gossiping granny.

47. What are you, 12?

Oh yeah, definitely.

Many of the heroes I had growing up are now deflated like balloons once they got off the gas or they got tremendously fat. Even with the steroids though they had to consume an enormous amount of protein and work hard like crazy to even achieve half the stuff they did but it's still disappointing finding out that the vast majority or all of them were on performance enhancing drugs.

I think they were all on the Eastern Block model of probably loads of testosterone and steroids. But growth hormone hadn’t come along yet or a huge amount of sports science, so they were winging it in a sense.

Why does it disappoint you? They don’t pretend to be natty. It’s entirely your own projection that they are that leads to disappointment Rufus.

The top powerlifters are juicers unless they are in the IPF. They admit to it if you follow the sport closely enough.

The top strongmen of course are on gear. Katz, JPS, Eddie, Thor Ffs man. They have to be to get where they want to be. They do it for them, not you or polecats fantasies.

My mates trained by a former Britain’s strongest man. The guy makes his own gear and sells it to his clients. Most of them do. It’s just the way it is.

Hall will fight with his hands low and chin up after 120 seconds.
Gassed out.

Because he could've gone at any moment had Eddie landed. Likewise, Hall was there for the taking if Thor had just stepped to his right and thrown straight lefts when Hall was loading up in ortho.

I had all the confidence of a £5 bet on Thor to make it more entertaining for myself!

Relieved with the decision as I thought there may be a small chance they do a draw if it goes the distance kinda thing.
