Jón Páll Sigmarsson and Geoff Capes battled for the title World Strongest Man for a few years. They were two good friends off the field but on the field they were animals.

Their first battle was in 1983 in Christchurch in New Zealand when Jón Páll joined the competition for the World Strongest Man. Geoff had never won but he had gotten 4th, 3rd and 2nd place.

Geoff won in 1983 but Jón Páll finished in 2nd place after a big battle against Capes.

Here we can see the competitors in the deadlift.

Tom Magee should've been the lead character Joe Huff in the movie Stone Cold instead of Bosworthless! Magee kind of reminds me of a big Joe Namath.

It sounds like he pushes his body to the extreme and is smart in getting it in the right condition to accomplish his next immortal feet so far he's deadlifted then any world strong man climbed the countries highest mountains. Wouldn't be surprised if he gives the WSM another try.
