Terry was able to tangle with the top 10 strongest men in the world for over a decade, that deserves a lot of respect even though he's never won it.

Wow thanks for showing me my comment :)

yes when I say "energy" that is what I was referring too just substitute the word nutrients with energy.

Pure strength and a TON of training to get the proper lifting techniques down. Their has been a few in history slip up and hurt themselves pretty badly but for the most part they just know really good form and concentrate on their lifting.

they do stuff like pulling trucks and lifting tyres, it just goes to show how much power there are in machines
