Phil Pfister became the latest american to win this event on Sept 24th. The last time was 24 years ago. American Don Pope came in fourth.

WSM no longer impresses me. Especially after Mariuz P's 5th place performance at the Arnold, 8th in the deadlift, IFSA is the way to go for real strongman competition.

Yea, it was. In the WSM. Not in the IFSA.

WSM is marius and a bunch of Americans. Like comparing UFC to Pride, or APF to IPF.

On wsm....they can bouce the weight for reps. Nd alot of time they are like boulders etc... so the ROM is a lil shorter.
