How big is Dominic Filiou?

[Ryan Rhodes]

Anybody know his Ht/Wt? Can't find his stats anywhere. Thx

[Ian MacFayden]

i was watching the canadian strongman finals last night, and they said he was 1.95m (6'4")
and about 175kg (385lbs). he's definately huge. hope that helps.

I'm watching the 2005 WSM competion from China. That mother weighs 405, he is really massive. I think it said he is 6"5".

[Chris McNatt]

Jesse Snadden will give you a precise up to date answer.

I thought he was like 6'6 420lbs now. I believe at super series he was around 385.
I wonder what his measurements are, his shoulders are freaking wide! I wish i knew where that picture of him on the bus taking up 2 seats was

[Grant Buhr]

Dominic is closer to 6'6", I believe. I'm sure Jesse will know his current weight, but it's probably close to 400 lbs.

Not sure if this is the one Chris is referring to, but here's a pic I took on the athlete bus at the '05 Canadians:

I thought Snadden said on another board that Dominic weighs more than what he did at WSM now which was 6'5" and 402lbs.

[Ryan Phillips]

I saw him getting into a small car in Canada in the summer of '04. I think the car was a ford escort. He's obviously a lot taller than the car, but if you look up the car's weight, it should be close. Just back it off a bit...maybe. He's ginormous!

[Luke Paskins]

Well he's bigger than most of us...he weighs an enitre well built male more than me, and I'm a well built male to begin with: tis crazy stuff altogether :-)

I'm sure he'll be providing Jesse with competition over the coming years, that's for sure!

[Brian Schoonveld]

Dominic is 6'6'' and weighed 425 at the show in Shreveport Louisiana in 2002. He is definitely one of the larger men I have competed against. Karl Gillingham, Hugo, Dominic and myself picked up the side of van. After a photographer took our picture we let go except for Dominic was still holding the van was pretty impressive and very funny.

[Jesse Snadden]

Dominic is well over 400lbs. He's 6'5"

Back in 2004 he was 440lbs. He couldn't tie his own shoes so he went on a diet of less than 30g of carbs per day. Then he showed up at a party weighing like 365lbs and had veins running accross his arms. He then bulked back up and weighed around 390lbs at Super Series in Venice Beach. He's around 420 and he's even bigger than when he was at WSM already. His shoulders got bigger, if that's even possible.

[Jesse Snadden]

Not only that, but he's hard as a rock too.

Just too bad Dominic expects less of himself than others expect from him. I talked to Hugo Girard the other day on the phone, I was happy to tell him Dom did an easy 390lbs on our Log. Hugo said, i know he is able to do that, hell he should be doing A LOT more than that too, if only he believed it.

Thing is, Dominic asked us to load 380lbs. He went to pee, me and my buddy added a 5lbs on each side without telling him. He comes back, does the lift like it was nothing and starts dancing around in content. I told him it was actually 390lbs. I would have made it 400 but it would have been apparent as I would have needed to add another 45lbs plate each side instead of a 25+10+5 and didn't have a second pair of 10's lying around.

[DaneGarreau]

How long has Dom been training strongman?

[Jesse Snadden]

Since 1999 or 2000.

[JohnCarlsson]

Dominic Filiou is seven feet tall, 500lbs and can shoot lightining from his eyes and fireballs from his arse..........

[TEXAS STONEMAN]

Are you sure he's only 6'5". Josh Thigpen is 6'5" and Dominic looked way taller.

[Jesse Snadden]

Well that's what he tells everyone, Travis Lyndon is 6'6 and is a tad taller.

[Dan Armstrong]

Just watched the 2005 WSM last night at my friend's house. And all I know is if I were Vince McMahon, I'd be on the horn to Canada right now to sign a future WWE champion. Dominic is an absolute monster - made the 300 pound competitors look like lightweights.

[Poul Nielsen]

Domenic is huge,
also one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He helped me a whole lot during a competition I did Sept 2004

ha guy's, i didn't mean to interupe but i have been working with two youth that i deal with at my job with juvenile probation. These two kids have been going to the gym with me for the past month now and they are really enjoying it. I recieved a phone call this evening from one of them. He told me that he wasn't going to be able to go to the gym tonight because he broke his hand and he was told that he would have have surgery on it to repair the damage. I went to his house and man did he do a good job of breaking it. He goes in next week for surgery. He said the doctor told him he broke the growth plate in the hand and they would have to put a plate and some screws in it to fix it. I'm going to miss having him at the gym, this kid has shown great progress since being in the gym. Be thinking of him.

JD, Thanks, he will need them. Dominis is huge, almost to big. It seems like the guys that are that big don't do as well. Am i wrong? By the way it got to -39 below with out the wind chill and one of my cars froze up and it was plugged in last night. I slept in a hoody, and my wool pants. Last i checked it was still -28 below and yes i'm complanning. I might need some cheese for that wine. like Jesse says "stay strong" bro.
