I hope he is doing well!

@@TwoBlackMarks ja gaat goed met hem hoor

Call me

A few too many? Remember to take your vitamins! :D

Thanks!

A perfect introduction to Ricky Bruch :D Well, he was not only crazy of course, but quite the character.

@@TwoBlackMarks Heck yeah!

I hope you will do that! Good luck, take your time and do not rush anything.

Tokig kille! Men han virket ganske ålreit også. :)

Absolutely! 👌💪

Who knows? Maybe they are speechless? :D

Yeah, it was. And I think it is still is good and close racing, but maybe lost a bit of its charm when they went the tube chassis route.

The sound would have been 😍😍😍

When Jouko deadlift, it is only the weights that is chattering, from being awe-struck of his back power. The sound when he just picks it up? It is probably from the belt I would guess.

Thanks! Ricky was great!

Absolutely!

He has a short, but deciding appereance. There are many people who should have been in the video, that is not there.

At 1:52? The power curl? It looks like 120 or 130kg, since the middle plates look wider than the yellow 15s. I do not remember 100%, but I think he sometimes went up to around 160kg.

@@TwoBlackMarks 160 kg for biceps?)

​@@TwoBlackMarks Hércules

He is a very likeable guy.

Sinnsykt den dag i dag egentlig. Men han var på ett helt annet nivå når det gjaldt Atlas stein da.

hjelpe godt å voks opp på gård og flytt/bær stein fra du kan og gå :D

What did they not invent? :D Sadly there is not many "Vikings" around anymore..

I answered on your other post, I think it is 120kg in the clip.

@@TwoBlackMarks OK.

In the beginning? When he throws the weight on the bench? It looks to be 120kg, but it could be 100 to 120kg+. The yellow ones are 15kg, the black or possible blue inbetween the yellows look like 20`s by the width looking wider than the Yellow. So 50kg on each side + the bar at 20kg equals 120kg. The black ones can be old 50kg weights, but I do not think so. Old Eleiko training weights did not always have color coding, I do not know why, because it looks like the black is always painted over the color coding.. So the color coding always comes through after some use, like you see on the yellows... Ricky power curled or "Bruch curled" around 160kg in training I think, I do not remember the exact amount right now. I may mix with someone else, it is a good power exercise.

Tjena. Ja, jeg har det, jeg kan prøve å sende den til deg? Har du mail, eller Facebook? Så kan jeg ta kontakt der, så du slipper å legge ut info her. Han var jo også med på Europas Sterkeste. Sterk kar. Synd det ikke er så mye lett tilgjengelig info, bilder og film på mange av de gamle legendene.

And where was Gary Taylor, Bill Kazmaier, Vasyl Virastyuk, Jamie Reeves, Janne Virtanen, Ted van der Parre and Phil Pfister? To just take former WSM winners as examples. That`s just how it was, at the time of making the clip, Shaw was officially 2 times WSM, and he actually is in this clip, pretty short moment though. He also had many tribute movies made about only him, so it is nice with a few not so familiar faces too, and there are several Strongmen that have been kind of overlooked, overshadowed and forgotten. And I tried to diversify some, but also keep it to what was the future at the time. If I made it again, I would try to include many others, but as you can see, I am not an pro, I only have Windows Movie Maker and a not so powerful computer, so it can be challenging to make what I want to make, compared to what I have the ability to do. So it gets very time consuming and hard to include many clips from several different long movies into one short movie. Also, a too long movie could be "too long" to watch too, which could happen easily if you include too much, just as what I am writing here is too long for many people to sit through and read.

Exactly! Yes, it is a Cevrolet Monza. Somewhat succesful racecars, I think they maybe had the most succes in Australia though. Since the Turbo Porsches sweeped up most competition when they started going fast..
