Love eating rubbish? Become a strongman!

axisus

Meandering around t'interweb, I found an interview with ex-Worlds greatest strongman Phil Phister. He used to get through some serious amounts of food!

I succeeded with a lot of cookies, chocolate milk and steak... 8,000 to 16,000 calories per day diet, day in and day out for decades.

Meeting my caloric demand was always a challenge. As a strongman, a typical meal for me would be four pounds of steak and two baked potatoes smothered in butter and sour cream. In the earliest stages of my career, a typical bedtime snack for me would be a giant 5,000 calorie ice cream float of half a gallon of Bryers ice cream in a two liter of 7-Up. Another typical early career 4,000 calorie snack was a 1-pound chocolate bar with a quart of half and half to wash it down. Those were the days!

I remember reading about the Rock's eating regime when he's training for a role and thinking "he must shit a tonne and never be too far from a loo". Mainly just tonnes of eggs, fish and green veg.

2 litres of 7 up for a bedtime snack. I'd be getting up every 5 minutes for a piss!

Even if you are Phil Phister your internal organs are still normal sized so I wonder what all that does to your insides.

I remember seeing an article comparing the diets of Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks. Blew my mind, similar to Phil Phister. 
I have a huge friend in the US (I mean really huge) and not afraid to mince words, he said to me one day on tour that it takes a lot of time, energy and money to stay so fat.

Hope he had a bogroll sponsor. Eating that amount of food makes it unecessary to tear off individual sheets.

Being pedantic, it's Pfister.  With an F.

Which is probably worse from a Beavis and Butthead perspective.

Emp's your man if you need a jar of pickles opening.

Reminds me of the French wrestler Andre Roussomoff who,according to legend,once drank 126 pints in one session,and in another downed 72 in six hours.One every five minutes.

Imagine the beer goggles after that!
