World strongman tries the concept

For a bit of a laugh, the man has zero feeling for the motion

[Dangerscouse]

If he manages to use his legs at all he stands a good chance of beating the record. Phenomenal upper body strength

Mwa, don’t know, ofcourse he is superstrong, but good chance?, given his feel for the motion, more or less the worse you can have, don’t see that hapening. Also they Talk about Shaw and Wr which is not true.

Loren Howard has it.

Wow, that's propably the most terrible form I've ever seen! He would be much faster if he simply keep his legs straight and uses only his back and arms

[JMac]

That was actually hilariously bad. Obviously he would be elite with improved form, but I think his relatively short height (6"1') would limit him a bit.

[hjs]

was thinking the same. Its the worlds strong man, you would think he has some feel for using his body. But for this, this is bizarre. And the tips did not help him one bit.

That's what I noticed. The seat was actually moving forward while he was pulling the handle! Imagine if he just kept his legs straight and used only his back and arms. Crazy strong.

When does his next 2k race start?

When does his next 2k race start?

How long would it take him to sink the boat

He wouldn't get 100m up the course before he'd be swimming (unless the river is frozen - as in the second half of that video).

I watched the video (with sound off) and couldn't tell - how far was his longest piece? Did he even make it to 500m?

I bet if he rowed a 2k his form might improve a bit as he tired out (which I assume wouldn't take long) because there might not be quite as much flailing about.

Guys he went for the 100m Wr.

The man is the current Strongman of the world, so the best of the best. Elite genetics, but not a natural rower.

Do we ever ask a marathon man to Shotput

I think with a few days coaching he would come closer to six than 7 min, and over 500 m he would pull sub 1.15

That's so true, if he could get over the bum shoving he'd go much faster without much training.
