The Giant Swede.

Ive allways liked Magnus Samuelsson, where others came and went, he just allways seemed to on the starting line every time you switched on WSM comps.
If your curious about how the big man trains, what he eats and so on, check these out, this is the first of eight or so.
BTW, do the teach English in the schools over in Sweeden? It seems so many Sweeds have a good command of the language.

In school and they get alot of TV/movies which is either english or in english with subtitles which helps them learn. Had a swedish gf once, thats what she told me anyway.

I love strongman, Magnus ver Magnusson and Mariusz Pudjianowski are faves of mine.

Magnus is very impressive, a lot of those guys are:P Really nice vids! Thanks for sharing:D

And btw, it's exactly as NotNowChief said:) I should now because I'm from Sweden^^ We have English and Swedish of course:P, at school. Some don't have as much English as others, mainly because when we begin upper secondary school aka gymnasium (those from the US may call it prep school or something like that) we get to choose a education path I guess you could call it. These have different structures, focus on different things of course, a hairdresser and a programmer don't need the same knowledge. Sweden as do many countries has a foundation of certain courses all must read, after that it's both personal and for the "program" your studying.

I for example study electronics. Although I don't have many "clean" English hours now a days, much of my school work is English oriented, for example my programs etc. And I watch a bunch of series/movies, all with out subtitles ( I hate them). So I think Sweden is like many other countries, English is a big part of the global society, therefore it's important to be able to make yourself understood and understand both text and speech from others. Think if Sweden didn't teach it, we would be screwed, no one could do business with us (well not as easy anyway) and we would be after at the technical stuff etc if we couldn't read English manuals. We are only 9 million people, not a big market, no one would translate it into Swedish, it's just not worth it:P Hahaha, it got a bit longer than I thought. But what NotNowChief is correct.

Great find, thanks Dave. Excellent strongman and he's got a pretty massive baby as well.. Probably tries to keep up.

This is the vid that really made me believe he's the king of men.. He broke Megaman's arm!
