TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
MARIUSZ PUDZIANOWSKI
Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who has absolutely dominated and conquered the field of strongman and powerlifting competition, and is now venturing into another arena to test himself: mixed martial arts.
Mariusz Pudzianowski is a five-time winner of the World’s Strongest Man competition, and has established himself as currently having no equal in his native sport.
Not only does the man possess the most functional strength of any competitors, year in and year out, but he maintains the physique of a competitive bodybuilder in addition to his practical strength exploits.
Having done pretty much all there is to do in the world of the strongman, Pudzianowski has thrown his hat into the MMA ring, and thus far has accumulated a professional record of 2-0 (including a win over Yusuke Kawaguchi).
Tonight he competes in his third pro bout, and he is not taking the easy route for the early part of his career, as he will face former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia. Sylvia is a very experienced fighter at 25-6, and has defeated the likes of Andrei Arlovski (twice), Jeff Monson, Ricco Rodriguez, Brandon Vera and Ben Rothwell.
So today, we show respect to a man who has done what it takes to be the best in his field, and is willing to square off against a very serious opponent in his attempt to rise to the top in another one.
