Reminds me of the old Olympic wrestler, Chris Taylor. When he was asked if he ever lifted weights he said, "Yeh, I lift four hundred and fifty pounds out of bed every morning"...
Glen Ross is a legend in strongman. He used to be a bodybuilder. I'll find some pics of him in a bit.
And of course you're wrong as usual Ruhl, most strongman aren't fat like that!!! Besides, I guarantee, no bodybuilder, not even Ronnie can handle as much weight as BigDaddy Glen Ross!!!
Glenn Ross!!! Here it is believe it or not!!
The ignorance of some people...
Derrick Poundstone
Jon Paul Sigmarrson
The late Jesse Marunde
Kevin Nee
Svend Karlsen
Manfred Hoebel
Two of the greats...Jon Pall Sigmarrson and Bill Kazmaier
Lastly about Mariusz, he doesn't stay shredded for all contests. The heavier the contest, the more bodyweight Mariusz puts on. The World's Strongest Man contest is considered a lighter, faster, contest (as compared to a contest like Fortissimus or The Arnold Classic Strongman). Therefore these heavier contests with less aroebic events require more body mass in order to move the heavier weights.
Just a little education for the uninformed!!!
^ Mariusz is a guy that looks like he can compete in BB and Strongman shows.
The guy is a freak.
Love him!

Some of those guys are freaking fat.
WRONG, same Glenn Ross. Check any strongman forum and feel free to email any pro strongmen and they will tell you that was Glenn Ross and that pic was taken over 20yrs ago.Quote:

Both Forbes Cowan and former IFSA/WSM Douglas Edmunds can vouch for it. I'll contact a guy by the name of Garrick Daft, who is the official historian for World's Strongest Man, to get me more proof.
From the strongman historian...
By the way, Glenn Ross weighs 34 stone, that's 476lbs.
476lbs at 6ft tall, that's Glenn Ross :)
He used to get upto 300-350lbs in the off-season when he was a Bodybuilder and believe it or not he looked even fatter then than he does now, I guess he has added so much muscle mass that he doesn't look so fat at 450-500 (and Strongman training is more intense that Bodybuilding). Glenn was preparing for the 1996 Mr Universe, but he put on so much weight in the off-season that he decided to quit Bodybuilding because the dieting was driving him insane!
Glenn switched from Bodybuilding to Strongman in 1996, one of his first competitions was the British MusclePower Classic and he did very well early on in his Strongman career. He always wanted to be a Strongman, like Geoff Capes and Kaz, Dave Parkinson etc. Strongman appealed to him because he wanted to be a hero to kids, big burly men appealed to him and he wanted to be a Wrestler when he was a kid. It was only a matter of time before he switched from Bodybuilding to Strongman.
That picture of Glenn in this thread is from the 1993 Novice Mr Ireland, he didn't win that one. But he did win the 1994 Novice Mr Ireland and there is footage of him on stage in the documentary I mentioned - he looked abit bigger than in the photo of this thread.
Glenn said that he trains 7 days a week, gym training 4 days per week and event training 3 days per week. First thing on a Saturday morning, very early and very cold, he goes to the lorry yard to pull trucks. He does the rest of his Strongman training at a farm (carrying logs, pressing stones etc).
m8 ok im wrong but it was before i knew of him . and to be honest he didnt last very long . but some of that stuff is incorrect he trains down the springfield rd in farrsets . still cant belive thats him though lol . but your right it was . my god what a difference 3 years can makeQuote:
