strong man contest

Well, the Strong Man competition in Vaasa, Finland, appears to be over and Rich, my daughter Olivia's husband, came in sixth ... out of 14 as I understand it. Hooooot Shit!


Rich is enormous... as in fills-up-a-doorway ... until you create a context ... as for example, below (Rich is second from left)

  2. How long has Rich been training for Strongman level weight lifting? And he just started competing?

    When I went to look up what routines are done in strongman contest I found this: "A top athlete in Strongman would need to ingest upwards of 10,000 Calories a day." Holy Shazam! That's like 4 whole pizzas a day!! What does he have like a tray of Lasagna for dinner?
