This manly beast of a man right here.
That guy you see there is Magnus Samuelsson - Winner of the 1998 World's Strongest Man competition (and many time finalist), champion arm wrestler, farmer, Swede, and seemingly an all around genuinely nice guy.
I know I'm never going to be his size - unfortunately, being 6'7" was just not in the cards for me. And I'm not a farmer, and don't have a need to consume 8,000 calories a day. Either way, though, he's a big inspiration for me - and he's not the body builder type that a lot of people aspire for. He's just a normal guy (although a very big normal guy), rough around the edges, but accomplishes extraordinary things.

Ah, Magnus. At least the motivational qualities of Swedish death metal, as you're sure to listen to while pumping iron, will be doubled by invoking images of this beast of a Swede.
So when will you be shaving your head and eating vegetables? I look forward to seeing this play out and if you ever need a kick in the ass, I will reluctantly volunteer. It is for your health, so being a good friend...... I will sacrifice my foot for your ass.
