Thought I'd post this, I haven't seen it posted and it's really impressive.

Pretty impressive for one workout. I was surprised at his bench, since strongman concentrate more on overhead strength. he looks to be good for low 600's raw, and that's nothing to sneeze at even for a powerlifter.

Pretty big cheat on the curls, but still that's a hell of weigh to be curling!
And OMG the #4
wouldn't want to shake his hand!

They're "strongman" curls, you throw it up and let it down slow. Basically negatives.Originally Posted by Uriel_da_manaKa MalachiMcMullen elsewhere

11-21-2006, 04:05 PM #11Yeah, my mind can't really grasp how someone's hands can be that strong. My #3 just feels like a brick, I can't even imagine a #4. Also, it looks like his hands are so big he's doing a 3 finger close. Crazy.Originally Posted by ukstrongman

Travis Ortmeyer stated that there are natural guys in WSM, but wouldn't mention names for obvious reasons.
I actually believe that Samuelsson could be natural...

I also believe he is natural and his hands are massive that they actually swallow the damn gripper.
And whats wrong with his curls... this isnt the teen bodybuilding section its strongman section.My Journal:

as opposed to powerlifters, strongmen need LOTS of bicep/forearm strengthOriginally Posted by wilwn
there are many gripping/arm strength movements...stone lifting, carrying...farmers walks, conans wheel, rope pulling of all sorts, hercules hold...others"Humility comes before honor"

there is no #5, but the HG500, the BBPro are both grippers harder than the #4 and I bet Magnus would close them easy if he trained for them consistently.Originally Posted by Maximus_Stats'Prior to the Department of Education, there was no illiteracy'

I believe he's not on steroid, his body doesn't resemble it. He resembles exactly what he is; a power lifter.

I heard theres 2 strongman in aus one lives in penrith, one in five dock that are pretty close to sammuelsson.Originally Posted by Ausswolf"In the shade now tall forms are advancing,

The pale guests await thee - mead foams in Valhalla.'"
