    Yeah he had kidney cancer. On his youtube channel, I left a comment to him telling him about how I've been training still for the last 21+ years after losing a kidney. I also told him that if anything training will aid him in his recovery.

    He seems like a good guy. Sucks that it happened to him. But, if he didn't drop that weight on his chest and get checked out at the hospital for it, they never would've spotted the cancer until it was a lot worse. God blessed him that day.

    Yes, He did. I'm betting Callie Best was blindsided by it after losing her first husband, Jesse Marunde.

    For those of you that aren't familiar with Jesse, he was a hell of a guy. If he wasn't in a rush to catch a flight or something, he would sit and talk lifting, nutrition, injuries.... anything strength related.

    I'm glad to see that Nick still has plans to set more records. He's one hell of an iron warrior!
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    His strongman career really didn't even start until he was in his 40s. That should be inspiration for more people that life doesn't stop just because you've had a few birthdays.

    I wished The History Channel didn't cancel that show he did with Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw after one season. I got in watching it. It was cheap to produce and had pretty good ratings, it made no sense to get rid of it.
