wasn't pudzi linked with some property scam (well at least fraudulent activity) in warsaw? i remember my gf telling me he was getting something akin to council flats given over to him despite not needing them. Not sure if it's true or not, but if he did step over some of his poorer country men just to have more then i can't wish anything good for the guy. Is this just a wild rumour she told me? Has anyone else heard of this case?

Has anyone else heard of this case? i have never heard of this story.even if he did it it wouldn't change my opinion that he is one of the greatest polish/world sportsmen

From what i have read MP started training seriously when he was in prison and followed it on from there. He is one of the leanest strong men i have seen with good definition and little/no gut, considering his diet includes 1kg of chocolate a day! Those steriods will take their toll one day.

Thread attached on merging: Mariusz Pudzianowski steroid freak Watched the Worlds strongest man final yesterday and Mariusz won back his title from the naturaly gifted Phil Pfister. The man is a freek of nature but a World champion never the less even if he is a heart attack waiting to happen steroid head. Is he the greatest Polish sportsman ever?

Pudzianowski and Magnus Ver Magnusson are my favorite champions in WSM ever.

I think strength is just in our blood. I just turned 17 and can lift 235 lbs as a 1RM max in the bench press. Plus my other Polish friends are also strong, even if they don't look it XD.

I don't think people are strong based on ethnicity. Americans and Scandinavians dominated the WSM contest until recently. I am an American, and I could bench a similar amount around age 17 as well. I am of Scottish, English, and Cherokee Indian descent. I still work out now at age 30. I can squat as much weight as the bars can possibly hold even though I only weigh 225. I will have to say that I think some Asians have trouble in strongman events because of their height and weight. In proportion to size, however, they are as strong as Caucasians or Blacks. I am not trying to be biased against Asians. If you think I am being biased, check out China's strongest man on the World's Strongest Man Contest in Sanja China or whatever. I think a lot of sports dominance comes from which ethnic group is relatively poor economically.

There have been all kinds of stories about certain people being really strong. I remember reading about a Circassian man carrying a horse up a mountain or something.

Thread attached on merging: does anyone know if Marius Pudzianowski still the worlds strongest man? I've seen him clean house and win the title in '05, but I missed the competitions last 2 years
