Which powerlifting/strongman members inspire you the most?

[Tom Bro]

There are a heap of super strong people in this section.

Which member/s do you gain inspiration or motivation from? Whose log can't you keep out of? etc.

For me it's Rob Trettin** and Bombdonald**.

lol


Not sure, not a lot of strongman competitors here on bb.com

Mutaffis though would be number 1

[MattIsBored]

Babyslayer, BigBen,Zmcdole, I would say are top three for me.

[TheBateman]

anyone who steps on the platform. all about improving your own PRs

[kinggorilla]

babyslayer,brentwillis,breathinglife.(all B names)

[ErickStevens]

Babyslayer, BigBen,Zmcdole, I would say are top three for me.

That's my list too.

[dan_g_28]

BigBen, Zmcdole, JeremyHamilton (see him post on rare occasions), BrentWillis

[WorldDomnit]

Isaku, because he's a great respectable lifter and he talks a big game; and can back it up.

[olibeast]

Lime.


EDIT: and Becky.

[Liftamulti]

Everyone is weak on here.

I like divino, bongobanger, mkal, goosey (even though I'm stronger :-P) cause they are lightweights. I also like Breathinglife mostly because his beard though.

[SQUAT316]

Kinggorilla.

[csday924]

Anyone stronger than me.

Edit: And becky.

naww shucks

[Iceman1800]

Kinggorilla.

He does give very good advice. We also have Mike Jenkins and Travis Ortmeyer on here, both have competed at the WSM making to the finals. Hard to top that.

[Xuaxace]

I'm not on this section enough to know many members, but I like watching Isaku's (wildiron) youtube channel every time time a new video comes up, learnt a lot from that.

[Highlander541]

Assassin and Newbtime (when he posted more often), both of their training logs are a good source of info and both are unhumanly strong.

[ChecksandGiggles]

Bombdonald
Casey Day, because of his terrible struggle with the syndrome named after him

[john-t-b]

Ed Coan.

I was lucky enough to meet him once back in 86/87. He was a guest at the competion i was in. Unfortunately, he wasn't a guest lifter but, i got to shake hands and talk a little when i got my trophy. I also met John Kuc in 85 at another competion but, i had no clue who he was until a few years later. I had just gotten into the sport at that time.

Isaku and Kyongi are obvious inspirations for getting stronger, I think.

Kinggorilla asks some awesome questions/starts great threads that I wish I could contribute more to, which inspires me to be better.

WHT_LIGHTNING, though I know he brought himself up jokingly. Dude is shorter than me, but weighs almost as much as me at less bodyfat (as far as I can tell by his wicked videos), and the dude's strength blows me entirely and completely out of the water on so many levels.

I swear, any time I watch WHT_LIGHTNING do some goofy ass 300lb jerk or some **** at atleast 10lbs lighter or so lighter than me, then I go to the gym and do some 135lb strict presses, I can't help but say to myself "this will not do, sir".

[Lopez27]

Tom Mutaffis.. because we're both 5'8".

[KevinAlvarez123]

hickson and brent willis

[prostrongmanzak]

Nike com.! hahahaha! There are soem bad ass lifting comp. videos, just gotta find them.

[Doollas]

Hickson and I chat a lot and he always gives me good motivation. Zach and dan (I think) for their benches at their size, and J wong for getting so strong while becoming such a skinny *******. I'm sure there are others, but everyone is an inspiration though...all the regulars are so damn consistent that any time I feel like I need time off or want to slack I just think about the breh's on this board.

[bmontgomery87]

I have fun in NCtarheels log. And bombdonald has some good stuff going on in his.

[BombDonald]

Ben Rice has been a major influence on my training lately (inspiring me to do more volume and shoulder work). Other than that, obvious ones like zmcdole because he is badass and breathinglife because we have almost identical lifts lol.

Blenderate (who used to post here) was also somebody I looked up to a lot. His squats are just incredible.

TomMutaffis is a tank too. Always fun to watch his stuff.

[zmcdole]

I'll say that bigben198 is a big inspiration because of his training like Bomb said. He's also accomplished an amazing total at a very young age and will only get better (scary thought). He's shown me that the human body is capable of amazing things. Csday is pretty inspiring to me too. lb for lb he is uber strong. Dan's benching keeps me humble too. Doollas you seem to be very smart and Bomb you're funny and strong too.

Torrtrefierto, .Aeterna , Isaku, Thom355(think that his username, either way, it's thom) mostly. haven't had the chance/time to follow many others log, but all of them are really nice people from my experience on the forums. Tor's super knowledgeable, strong and a good guy, aeterna has followed my log and been really encouraging towards me, Isaku as you all know is super experienced and has given me great answers everytime I've asked Q's - really value any input about lifting he dishes out on the forums, Thom's given me some good ideas with training - nice dude and has also followed my log.
