Zydrunas is my favorite strongman. He is not only HUGE and blessed with tremendous strength, he is also very kind and genuine. Good ol country boy.

I totally agree. He was just standing around a booth. I could not believe nobody recognized him! Very cool dude.

i think anyone with a brain should recognize him, he is the fucking man. Im not a strongman but love to follow the pros and can't wait to watch it at the arnold this year.

I always wondered if height was a big advantage/disadvantage. Zydrunas is 6'3".....others are tall too.

I've got the long gorilla arms at just 6' so grabbing objects won't be a problem, it's always got me wondering if height would hinder your career if your 6' or shorter...not many short pros, only Mariusz, that I know of...

Yea, I guess I accept shortness for amateur, but when I think pro I automatically think tall is better...

My training partner is only 5'8" but he's one of those skinny but strong as hell types.
