Based on his winning performance this past weekend at the team strongman competition in Poznan, Poland, World's Strongest Man winner Mariusz Pudzianowski is said to be in tremendous shape as he comes to Muscle Beach (Venice, California) on Saturday for the first contest in this year's WSM Super Series.

Odd Haugen, who competed in Poland and will also be in the thick of things this weekend at Muscle Beach, said Mariusz was "fast, strong and in unbelievable shape," and sporting his usual ripped look while weighing over 300 pounds.

The contest starts at noon and admission is free, but it is recommended that you arrive early because seating is limited and you don't want to miss any of the action as the battle begins for invitations to the 2005 World's Strongest Man contest.
