Trust me it wasn't very fun getting my butt kicked by a teenager. :EP:

Max is a beast and will only get better. No shame in getting beat by him Jason - he's been at this for a little while with some great partners.

Fed strongman formula from the bottle I'd say! Jebus!

[Corey DuCharme]

Cool, another kid stronger than I'll ever be. :D

Very well written article, good quotes too. So many times reporters miss the point of strongman and treat it like a joke. This article was very respectful. I think Pippa summed it up with this quote:

“I like it because it’s an oddball sport. I’m not a normal teenager. I would rather go pick up stones and tires than go drinking with my friends.”

It is odd, we're not normal, but it's still a serious sport.

Before each heavy lift, he recited the Lord’s Prayer.

That's something I do in Powerlifting before every attmept.


He's gonna have a very bright future by the looks of it.
Best of luck to him!

[Alex Klotz]

Anyone think that there's some guy in India or China who's just so far along the Gaussian strength distribution that he's the worlds strongest man without knowing it?

[Jared Enderton]

wow nick!! I assume he's going to teen nats?

[Nick Best]

Yes, he is going to do the Fresno show in April to qualify for teens. I think he might be able to qualify for mens possibly as well. He will smoke the press meadly. Its going to be fun to watch! I will be there doing demo's ,helping Foster, and alittle MCing.

[Easton Taylor]

Yeah Foster does have some freakish overhead pressing power.....yeah he is kinda strong. Oh wait so are you Mr. Best. I am going to sit in my little hole and cry. Both of you guys are :F: 's.
