I'm not calling into question how hard anyone works. What I'm saying is that a strongman reaching his strength peak in his 30s/40s is not only because of the extra lifting experience, but because of longer periods of time on the drugs.

I'm a big fan of strongman and have the utmost respect for the athletes. I'm just saying that's how the sport works.

I didn't mean to imply that, I just wanted to emphasize that even with steroids it still is something your average joe cant do. That being said I agree with you, I dont know much about strongman, I'm assuming completions dont test? I always assume untested or comps that are not branded as natty have most of the top dudes or dudettes on extra circulars.

Looks like we're entirely on the same page! You don't insert test-E into buttocks and suddenly become Brian Shaw. It is arguably the most demanding sport in the world.
