Mark Philippi (USA) made his comeback at this weekend's IFSA World Musclepower Championship in Callander, Scotland. Philippi turned in a very strong performance throughout the weekend, and ended up tied for second place with Raimonds Bergmanis (LAT), just a few points behind winner Hugo Girard (CAN). Already proving that he is well on his way back from last year's injury, Philippi now has his sights set on the "World's Strongest Man" competition next month. While noting he's not yet at 100%, Philippi said, "I think I can get a lot done in five weeks."
