Created in 1977, The World's Strongest Man™ has become the premier event in strength athletics. For over 30 years, the strongest men on the planet have come together in a series of unique and amazing tests of strength to determine The World's Strongest Man. The competition has travelled to stunning and varied locations such as Zambia, Iceland, Mauritius, Malaysia, Morocco, China and the USA.
For over three decades The World's Strongest Man has tested the limits of human strength, power, and endurance. The best strongmen on the planet and the most demanding challenges including Fingal's Fingers, Truck Pull, Dead Lift, Giant Farmers Walk, Plane Pull and the Atlas Stones have made the event a highlight in the TV calendar and the show a family favourite with a worldwide audience of over 220 million people.

This was extremely rude of him to say and undermined how strong Lou Ferrigno actually was when he didn't even take something like this seriously.

    Indeed it was. Lardass Wilhelm owes American Weightlifting an apology, as there's no telling how many prospective weightlifters went in the direction of bodybuilding due to his stupid-ass comments. (He redeemed himself a little with an article he did a couple of years ago, but it doesn't undo the harm he did back then.)

    What's interesting is that Bruce Wilhelm kept saying the bodybuilders were weak ( as compared to the weightlifters like himself) but Louie and Franco really did well in certain events and Mike Dayton I believe won the wrist roll. Had Franco not injured himself in the refrigerator race he could have placed quite well against his vastly heavier opponents.

    It's not because modern bodybuilders are weak, though. It's because people have begun to get more and more educated and focused in certain disciplines. None of these guys would stand a ghost of a chance against modern strongmen like Brian Shaw or Thor, although that doesn't at all take away from how impressive they were all the same.

    I see his strength far surpassed the limit of his body... It was 1977... The joint... the bones... couldn't stand the weight which his muscle can handle well. If he had had just a little bigger body frame, things would have been very different... He was a strongman after all... I bet he would still do it again even he had the chance. Nevermind the injury: The doctors said he would never lift weight again, he joined bodybuilding and proved them wrong.

There's also far more ways to stay healthy with that development. Those two were just beasts even before the steroids.
