@ryan Yea I am a slight ectomorph, but not seriously so, I just have really long limbs lol Tough for types like us to put size on, takes a looooooong time. Have to eat a large amount of food, and for a sustained period of time I find that harder than under eating.

Was he the guy who was killed by a train? If he is the guy I am thinking of then he was in great shape, drugs obviously help

Just googled, yep, sad end to another life.

German vol is brutal!

@matt-wood I will give them a watch, for somebody who is an ectomorph I am so hooked on this world lol I've literally tried all types of training Westside for Skinny, German vol, crossfit, the lot fascinates me!

My idol was Greg Plitt! I met him at Bodypower a while back, great guy.

Matt Wood

@ryan I think it was a body power event, may have had a different name back then, been to sooo many lol.

He did an excellent series of videos on his mounaindog youtube channel about his life story and how he got to the IFBB pro level. Really interesting, also such a humble guy too, never bigged himself up at all.

Guy was a beast!! Was this at body power you spoke with him?

Matt Wood

Bit of a niche thing but in the Bodybuilding and Fitness Athlete world John Meadows passed away last night.

Legend in the industry and all round super nice guy, I had the pleasure of speaking to him very briefly a few years back. Type of guy everyone liked, you would have to go a long long way to find someone with a bad word about him.

Left behind a wife and two young boys

RIP John

@matt-wood I agree, they are usually pretty strong too aren't they!

@ryan Yea I think its something to do with combining the parents names and adding dottir for girls and son for boys. Or something like that lol, Im sure any Icelandic person will crucify me for my ignorance

Ryan

@matt-wood amazing, I think they have rules in Iceland about names - I’m sure they told me that when I was there, unless they were taking the p**s

Obviously all the focus is on the Euros at the moment but Id just like to throw some support and attention to the Stoltman brothers. Worlds strongest man starts tomorrow and big Tom Stoltman finish 2nd last year. Lets hope he can go one further this year.

Anyone who might be interested, they have a youtube channel, Ive been following for a few years, and its really very cool to see Tom in particular use the strongman training and lifestyle to help with his autism.

Lets have Stoltman 1 and 2 this year lads
