One of the heaviest giants on my entire site is 6'6" (1.99m) 410 lb. (186 kg) Terry Hollands. Yes he weighs over 400 pounds! He was born in 1979 in Dartford, Kent weighing 12 lbs 4oz., probably the only small weight he is associated with! He was a keen sportsman in his childhood and teens, playing Judo and Rugby Union. However, despite sport being a big part of his life, he did not start serious gym training until he was 22 in order to help his rugby, and he typically focused on endurance training. In 2004 he contracted a leg infection and on his return to the gym he focused on strongman training. His training schedule has been described as "ferociously unforgiving" and he has espoused the benefits of visualization techniques saying "you can't get by without it." Hollands career as a strongman began in 2005, coming second at the 2005 England's Strongest Man and first at the 2005 UK's Strongest Man contests. In 2006 he lost his UK title to the experienced and established Glenn Ross but turned his attention to the Britain's Strongest Man competition. In 2006 Hollands qualified for the 2006 World's Strongest Man competition, although he did not qualify for the finals. In 2007 he took the title of Britain's Strongest Man and went on to finish third at the 2007 World's Strongest Man, the first time a British competitor had achieved a top 3 place in over 0 years. The 2008 Britain's Strongest Man saw Hollands conceding his title to Jimmy Marku, coming second overall. However, in the 2008 World's Strongest Man contest he still made the final coming second in his qualifying heat. In the final he placed last out of the ten finalists. Hollands improved on this finish in the 2009 World's Strongest Man coming sixth overall. 2010 was a mixed year for Hollands. A series of strong performances and podium finishes in the Strongman Champions League, including a win in Ireland (tied w/Zydrunas Savickas), was derailed by serious injury, when he tore his biceps in the Europe's Strongest Man contest in June. So strong had the early season been that Terry was still crowned the 2010 SCL overall champion on 8 December 200. His return from the biceps injury was rapid and Hollands was able to compete at the 2010 World's Strongest Man contest where he made the final for the fifth consecutive year, and finished in 8th place. In 2011 he achieved a podium finish in the competition for the second time, placing 3rd, but in 2012 another biceps injury saw him withdraw from the final. Colossally tall 6'8" (2.04m) 310 lb. (142 kg) Tomasz Majewski (born 1998 in Nasielsk) is a Polish shot putter and a double Olympic gold medalist. He is the third shot putter to successfully defend the Olympic title, first European to do so, and the first since Parry O'Brien in 1956. As shot putting is a strength sport I have placed him in this section. During the Olympic final in Beijing on 5 August 2008, he threw 2.5 meters for the gold medal, Poland's first Olympic medal in shot put since 1972 when the late Władysław Komar took the gold. Majewski was also the first Pole to win gold at the 2008 Olympics. |
