    Its kind of funny how Colin and Darren pick new guys to be in WSM but Swedens strongest man that has been at WSM is not invited. Mat does look big and strong and he deserves to get a shot and I hope he does well, for sure, but what does C and D has against Sweden all of a sudden?

    Hi Loz, sorry this is slightly off the topic of this video, I've just been watching Mitchell Hooper talking about health in strongman and wondered if it would be a cool topic for one of your videos. Having watch Tom Stolman over the last year I see a guy getting slower and slower as he gets bigger and bigger.
    I've always wondered why it seems to be a strongman you have to eat so much when your body can only take in a certain amount, then I listen to `Mitchell and he seems to think the same. Cardio matter. Anyway, cool channel and thanks for everything guys.
