Is it Strength Training or Body Building?

The pic above is Marisusz Pudzianowski, a pro strongman, actually, the worlds strongest man (world strongest man 5x over) rather than a bodybuilder.

The irony of my post missed you then Chief

The pic above is Marisusz Pudzianowski, a pro strongman, actually, the worlds strongest man (world strongest man 5x over) rather than a bodybuilder. He is trying his hand at MMA soon I hear. Someone is going to get killed. He also tested positive for steroid use in strongman competition.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I take it as Mouse posted that as a joke because he's not a bodybuilder.

Would be cool to see him in MMA. I guess he was a competive boxer before.

Now THIS is an interesting factoid....
In 2005, Mariusz formed a musical group called Pudzian Band, with himself as a singer. In 2006 the Pudzian band toured for the first time, and they recorded the song Zdobyć świat ("To Conquer the World"). The other members of the group are Krystian Pudzianowski (Mariusz's brother), and Anna Brzozowska.

I can't imagine he can actually sing but who knows?

At least it wasn't lost on you Dada

Completely. Probly my fault, just skimming the posts. I thought all those hours watching strongman had finally paid off.

Gotta admit though not much is as inspiring as watching one of those competitions and then hitting the weights.

This is the physique more or less that I hope to eventually have. (below) Do you think I should be doing stronglifts or a bb program? If I do go to a bb program, will I gain anything in strength?

Thanks, I'm really confused.

Bodybuilding.. And it is from a bodybuilding forum too, one that I am a part of.

Especially the abs, they are definitely the product of bodybuilding. Isolated exercises, higher rep ranges..

Maybe I should have posted it like this.

With only looking at a picture and knowing nothing about how that person trains, it can be difficult to tell.

Although I suspect Ian Doherty is more of a bodybuilder having seen the pictures of him in BB Competitions.

Erp58 - I would suggest you get strong first to get a solid base of muscle, then go BB if that is your desire.

Looks like that guy is just very very lean, with some muscle gained from strength training

[Portillo]

Thats the strongman that recently switched to MMA yes?

[JJLipton]

He will get punished in pro mma or boxing if he walks in looking like that.

[NotNowChief]

I am just praying for someone to go in low for the takedown and Mariusz to hurl them out of the ring like a keg toss.

[coreJack]

Even though Mario is strong enough to rip someone's limbs off, if he isn't trained well, we will get knocked the fuck out in MMA.

He don't have much traps to speak of-hence he doesn't train that much for strength.
