Manly men, men in spandex!

Watching Brittain's Strongman's competition. Right now, people are lifting an 1800kg van. Rather, it's squat and lift. And the guy who is doing it now.... 18 times. That's fucking impressive. Really. Wow. 18 times. Lifting a huge fucking van. Madness.

We were watching the Edinburgh Tattoo highlights before. It was making me all nostalgic for cadets. Which is weird. I hated Cadets when I left. But some of the stuff we did was quite cool... I like being in the big band displays. They were neat. And drill, in general. I think someday I'd like to see the Edingburgh tattoo. Or, even cooler, to be in it. Not very likely at this point...

Right, so another guy just did 18 reps. Madness. Can you imagine being that strong? Wow...
Mood:: 'impressed' impressed

All of those guys who compete in Strength competitions are trolls, I swear. The ones who win World's Strongest Man are always Scandinavian or German, too. My favorite is Magnus ver Magnusson. :)

They are amazing! And they always have the craziest events, too - like walking while carrying a Volkswagon bug :o

I think the squatting was the zaniest event, actually... But it was still impressive.
