Default Re: Bill Kazmaier video

not sure what his competetive bodybuilding weight was...but in the 77 wsm he weighed 185 lb.....there was reports he was actually only 5ft 3 !....
another thing the documentary touched on was the difference between strength athletes,powerlifters etc...and wsm competetitors.....and how they cant be compared for overall strength.....
as andy says...wsm competitors train for wsm competitions,in my opinion these events require a superior overall complete strength than a powerlifter who doesnt necessarily require particularly outstanding grip strength...or the need to lift and walk with weight like a strongman competitor does.apparently a lot of powerlifters have become top notch strongmen but not the other way round.
