    When I was poor living in the streets at 7 years old with my mom. In the cold east coast winter of 1993 a lady was generous enough to let my mom and I stay in her really bad condition, dirt floor basement with no heat. As a poor kid I use to dig through the garbage and found an old school small screen TV that actually worked. I took it home and hooked up a clothes hanger to the TV in an attempt to get channels. I was fortunate enough to get only one channel which would play reruns of World Strongman over and over. The channel would constantly play prime Bill Kazmaier competing. Bill Kazmaier was my hero that gave a hopeless kid hope.

And Bill, who has had a bunch of shoulder injuries, still got 18 seconds at 65. And the one who holds the record is Mark Felix, who is 53. That's some old man strength.

    Magnus is a demi-god in disguise. I expected him to do well but once he passed 1 minute 15 seconds I began to suspect that the entire thing was going to be revealed as joke. When the columns fell apart and it became clear that he really had been holding them so long, I was astounded. I've followed this competition since it began with Geoff Capes and in all those years I have never seen anyone as remarkable as Magnus Ver Magnusson. He never had a supremely muscled body, he never had massive size, yet he beat them all with apparent ease. He would have won 5 times but for that simple yet shocking mistake with that replica of the Husafel Stone. The greatest strongman ever!

      @@BobPapadopoulos, what? I made only 1 claim - an *opinion* - that Magnus would have easily won the world title a 5th time if he hadn't dropped the Husafel Stone that time. This was something that was televised so that any fan of the championship would have seen it, and the scores were there for all to see, so it's hardly a controversial *opinion* . Yet you referred to an apparent *fact* which is different from an opinion (opinions can be disputed but facts cannot). So don't try to make out I've made "a lot more claims" than you did. We both only made one claim but, as I say, yours was an allegation of a fact, a fact that makes no sense, isn't supported by the records of verified successful feats of strength i.e. Kaz's verified records aren't in a different league to those of others at the top of the sport, and has been refuted in this thread by someone else who argued that Kaz was banned from competitions because of unsportsmanlike behaviour.

      Jon Páll was still the greatest character of them all. Not only was he the greatest showman but he also contrary to what Bill did, encouraged his competitors, always, shouting at them to keep going etc. Really good sports person. Plus he was the strongest of them all. Even with all the huge competition in Bill, Geoff Capes, Magnús, Jamie Reeves and others, Jón Páll almost won every WSM tournament he competed in, plus and what is often forgotten, that fantastic Highlander tournament which was huge at the time and no less of a tournament than WSM, Jón Páll won it like 4 times I think just like 4 WSM titles.

Even now, he shows his grit and honors his heritage with an awesome display of strength. One of the greats!

Every town I have lived in there seems to exist at least one old man that can do some shit strength-wise that is legendary in that town. Danny Hodge is a perfect example, few people know him now, but he is still asked to crush apples.

    I love everything strongman and have for decades. It is so inspiring and there is something raw and visceral about being strong and lifting all types of implements. It's power. The physical kind that is just so dominating.

    Kaz does the crazy stare we saw in the videos of him squatting in WSM early 80s. My late father was a weightlifter and admired Kaz's strength at the time. I'll always remember that.
