TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
MAGNUS VER MAGNUSSON
Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man whose hard training established him as unquestionably one of the greatest strongman competitors of all time.
Iceland’s Magnus Ver Magnusson won the World’s Strongest Man competition on four separate occasions, including a three-year dynasty (1991 and 1994-1996).
He won numerous other strongman competitions over the years, and his continual commitment to strength training placed him among the legends of his sport, on par with the likes of Geoff Capes and Jon Pall Sigmarsson.
At the peak of his training, his best lifts in a variety of exercises almost defied belief. He was able to squat 400 kg (882 lbs), deadlift 375 kg (827 lbs) and could bench press 250 kg (551 lbs).
With numbers such as these, he was also able to become a powerlifting champion, earning victories at the 1989 and 1990 European Championships.
His tire deadlift of 445 kg (981 lbs) once stood as the world record.
