Considering the popularity of a recent strongman post, I believe many will enjoy the video below.

Take a look as strongman Mark Felix prepares for the World’s Strongest Man in yet another low-tech, high-effect environment. As you will see within, Mark trains like a beast without any of the fancy amenities that you’ll find in most modern gyms.

Fortunately, the crude environment hasn’t slowed his development. Mark Felix continues to improve, despite his late start to strongman competitions. It wasn’t until age 37 that he began competing.

As for his specialties, Felix is known to possess incredible hand strength. Below you can see one display of such strength as he crushes a one arm deadlift following an injury in 2008. Clearly, he wasn’t one to sit around and sulk during the injury. He found other ways to stay busy.
