mariuz is not that tall, probably around 5"10'. He is freaky strong.

Be aware that their are only a few true natural strongmen, and they're probably in the olympics.

Firstly Mariusz is around 6ft 2in he just looks small as the average height for Strongmen is maybe 6ft 5in, also there are no natural pro strongmen just like there are no natural pro Bodybuilders, strongmen and Powerlifters gain the most from steroids so of course they will use them, there is no Olympic Strongmen cos Strongman isnt an Olympic sport.

Thats how they clean the bar in Strongman as that Apollon axle weighs around 350lb, plus the bar is twice as thick as your standard bar.

'Phil Pfister, a Charleston, W.Va., strongman who has reached a Top 5 world ranking without steroids, says he feels that Perry was a victim of a society that "focuses on the quick fix and the magic wand for everything."

"What we lost was finding out what man’s real ability is," he laments. "We don’t know how fast a man can really run. We don’t know how far or fast a person can cycle or swim, or how much a man can lift. It’s all clouded."

do you think he is lying?

Maybe to get to that level without steroids is very unusual.

Ronnie Colemans No.1 Bodybuilder and he said he hasn't taken steroids.

Mariuz was found to have traces of steroid in a drug test and he said he didn't do steroids.

If he was in the Top 5 I would bet he was on steroids.

You have no evidence to suggest that there are no true drug free strongmen.

I know a powerlifter who seems to think there are some true lifters out there that are natural.

Ok well maybe Ronnie Coleman is all natural just like Mariusz, to be in high level strength sports requires something more than natural.

Ronnie coleman is not natural. Mariusz is not natural. Its obvious from the muscle mass.

Their are lifters out their who have little muscle mass and lift massive weight. This does prove that they're drug free, but its possible that they're drug free.

i feel this depends on your levels of test, some can have high levels of test naturally, and if they know how to train and eat to increase levels, then they can potentially accomplish great things without the needle

but not many people who get to the top are gonna not want to use steroids, it makes them bigger and stronger like nothing else, an for that kind of person, thats exactly what they want

I feel i have a higher amount of test than the average man, my father did indeed have an abnormal test level too confirmed by a doctor, but im not sure my slightly higher test level is anything close to those brought about by Steroids.
