i usually watch the world's strongest man competition. vs channel shows a different league. i don't like that one because of the format and the way its presented - in stadiums/arenas. world's strongest man is outdoors and to me it matches the ancient greek sporting events in the outdoor arenas.

maurice pudzianowski is a MONSTER. dem europeans sure don't need cornfeed to get big and strong!

Mariusz Pudzianowski. He's definitely the man.

American Kevin Nee, however, is a close second.
