MickC 1,825 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 One of the brothers worked offshore, he did a few trips on the platform Im on. What a size mind, hard to take in till you stand alongside some of these strongmen. He was in the gym and it looked like everybody was crowded round him watching, but he was using all the free weights so they where waiting for him to finish .

Lol Ya right about the size I used to work with Jamie Reeves former wsm. And even though he was getting on abit his strength was unreal he used to just pick up motors that we would normally have to lift with pull lifts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
