World’s Strongest Man winner Phil Pfister fills a doorway and he can slide a U.S. quarter through his wedding ring, to give you an idea of what we’re talking about structurally, which is why when his wife says, “What did you do at work today?”  Phil can say, “I pulled a plane.”  Strongman is a perfect fit for a guy like Pfister who fills a Carhartt 4XLT jacket as naturally some people would deflate to an XL.  IronMind® | Randall J.
