thats some serouos weights these monsters are lifting.. as a cyclist, where 99% of the peloton are on drugs, and from what i read, 100% of bodybuilders are on drugs/steroids, what about these guys? would these guys only lift 1/2 that amount if they were clean, or are they clean and just ungodly strong? seems like there are only a handful of clean athletes anymore... and they are the healthy ones, but the ones at the back of the pack. me!!! i would rather give it my all and come in last than cheat and win with the help of some drug.
these guys clean?
just curious
thanks

This is probably the most genetically exclusive sport on earth. If you aren't predisposed to be big, strong, and have heavy joints than there isn't anything you can do to make up for it. Without meeting these guys in real life you have no concept of how big they are. I'm 6'2" and 300lbs and I am on the small end for strongmen. The lightest guy in that vid is 330lbs at 6'1". As for drugs there is no testing for steroids in strongman. If for nothing else than the gruelling training/comp schedule of a pro they need something to keep their joints together. Most of these guys do 10+ comps a year and train 5-6 days a week.

I think the sentence about being the most genetically exclusive, is probably the truest statement ive heard in long time.
