Yeah, I'm lucky...the event was held in Montmagny... which is like 80 km from my place.

Kocklyaev left very quickly after the show though... .didn't get a chance to meet him.

Results are good, but can you please not put the winner in the --title-- due to spoilers and instead put the results inside the thread. I am saying this now so no one ruins the WSM winner for me this year because I like to watch it in the winter on TV and don't want it ruined for me with a title saying "X wins WSM 2009".

I think that says it all that he is #1 in the sport right now. Its very close though after that and in general though but right now I would say he is the best in strongman.

I am used to mixed martial arts forums where putting spoilers about the event in the title is not allowed.

He might, he might not. He sees a lot of success on the strongman circuit over in Europe. The WSM tournament has become very USA/Mariusz Pudzianowski dominated.

[whotime65]

plus from what i have read is there are to many politics in WSM for him. But if you watch 04-05 when he competed he didnt fair so good.

[skinnycalves]

when are we going to see new squat videos from whotime

[whotime65]

lol, bro i havent been squatting for a while i am training for strognman now and i dont really do much max squatting, i am competeing at the end of july and in september in strongman then plan to do a PL meet after that so i will post a video of my squats after that.

yea, 2nd place 3 years in a row isn't really that good. /sarcasm.

The reason he hasn't been invited to World's the past 4 years is because it's all about politics like you said.

the reason he didn't do well is b/c WSM is more endurance based, with lighter weights than shows at IFSA where he competed (and won twice), as well as winning the Arnold pretty much every year it has ever been held.

He's pretty much the most dominant strongman when you take into account the variety of shows that he's done, and the sheer number. Pudz is good at world's, but he fails at the arnold, and won't compete at Fortisimuss.

Just because you compete in strongman, doesn't mean you don't squat. All the guys i train with just cut down the volume in season and ramp it up in the off season. We never do not squat.

whotime which shows are you competing in? Are you gonnna go the the bayou for nats if you qualify?

i am doing quad city aug 1 and southern illinois sept 26, i dont believe either of those are a nats qualifier, i plan to qualify for that next year, i have only been trainin for 2 1/2 months so it is a work in progress but its going good.
