Svensk artikel Nerikes Allehanda: Degerfors egen Hulken lyfter lätt en bil: 12 maj 2002

När han var liten hette idolen Bamse. Sedan blev det "Hulken", den gröne starke figuren i tv-serien med samma namn. Det var de här båda muskelknuttarna som fick Fredrik Åström i Degerfors att bestämma sig för att bli lika stark som dem, ja han ville bli ännu starkare. Och han är onekligen på god väg.

Svensk artikel Corren: De är starkast i Sverige: 16 december 1999

De är starka. Så starka att de var och en är starkast i Sverige. I var sin viktklass. Linköpingstrion Christer Tolf, Stefan Aronsson, och Magnus Johansson vann guld alla tre i SM i showlifting.

Svensk artikel Corren.se: En stark kandidat till mästartitel: 27 februari 2002

"Magnus Samuelsson, världens starkaste man, tränar denna tid på året fem dagar i veckan hemma i Tidersrum. Correns medarbetare följer ett kvällspass, och blir andfådd bara av att se de enorma lyften och uppleva den explosivitet som den 150 kg tunga och två meter långa kroppen kan prestera."

Augusti 2001

Svensk artikel Piteå-Tidningen: Här har ni nye publikfavoriten: 30 juli

Han tog i så det svartnade för ögonen. Jan-Erik Holmbom, från Vitsand - där han ni lördagens store hjälte under Piteå dansar och ler. Kraftansträngningen räckte till silver i strongman-SM för par! - Härligt med en medalj.

Svensk artikel Aftonbladet: Starkast i världen: 7 februari 1999

Ni kan ju bara tänka er alla dessa mänskliga belgian blue-kopior som trampar jordens yta. Det är tungviktsboxare och styrkelyftare och sumobrottare, det är finska skogshuggare och polska hamnsjåare och ryska stenbrottsarbetare, det är tyska kroppsbyggare och dopade strandraggare och en och annan tatuerad flåbuse från USA.

Men det är bara en som är starkast i världen. Han heter Magnus Samuelsson och är lantbrukare i Östergötland. Snart hoppar han av traktorn och landar i Hollywood.

Strongestman.com: Profile of Canadian Geoff Dolan: 21 juli

In May of 2001, Geoff Dolan placed second in a very strong field at the North American Strongman Championship, beating former World's Strongest Man (WSM) competitors Phil Pfister, Ken Brown, Brian Schoonveld and Johnny Perry and fellow Canadians Travis Lyndon and Jessen Paulin. Geoff's performance surprised many, but a closer look at his past shows that it was no fluke.

Strongestman.com: Profile of American Chad Smith: 21 juli

At first glance Chad Smith looks like your typical strongman. A big guy who eats a lot, lifts weights, and throws kegs or pulls trucks in competition. Yes, Chad Smith does all these things but he is far from typical.

As I got to know Chad I discovered he is a well-rounded human being with hopes, dreams, desires, and fear. It just happens that he is a strongman as well. I was very surprised at his maturity and outlook on life. He has been dealt a tough hand but has played it beautifully.

StrongestMan.com: International Strongman Rankings:

Hugo Girard flushed the competition and pushed his way to the top.

Hugo Girard tops the most recent international strongman rankings after a first place finish at the 2001 World Muscle Power championship in Scotland. Hugo finished ahead of Svend Karlsen and Magnus Samuelsson to move from 5th in the rankings to 1st.

StrongestMan.com: Zydrunas Savickas:

At last year's World's Strongest Man competition, Zydrunas Savickas demonstrated he belongs on the international stage after a strong showing in a very tough qualifying heat. What does the future hold for this Lithuanian strength athlete? Find out more about Zydrunas by reading his biography and an interview.

Gazette Online: ‘I go into an event with confidence': 25 juni

A brawny blue-eyed blonde, he can flip over a car, pick up a 385-pound stone, pull two 18-wheelers; walk carrying two 345-pound blocks in each hand and perform a dozen or so other muscle-crunching, crowd-pleasing feats required of Strongman contestants. He finished in the top five during world competition in 1998 and 2000.

He's Hercules, Sampson and Superman packed into a powerful 6-foot-5, 310-specimen named Phil Pfister.

The Cable/Bar Guy: The 2001 Salem Gold's Gym Strongman Challenge: 17 juli

This contest was OK for a local meet, but was not nearly heavy enough to test really serious strong men and women contestants. It would probably be more accurate to call such an affair a "Fitness/ Strength" contest.

Once again, organized by Kyle Sexton's Gold's Gym chain of Salem, this year's contest was directed by Tony LaLac. Tony, and his staff of approximately 12 people, did a good job keeping the contest running smoothly, as well as providing an outlet for smaller strongmen and women to compete.

goodauthority.org: The Tower Has Fallen: 2 februari

"It seems impossible, but Doug Hepburn is dead. The bigger tragedy is that you have probably never heard of him. This is because people don't care about reality any more, they only seem to care about the illusion of excellence. Real superiority in any endeavor is usually purchased through great tribulation and suffering, and in North America we simply are not interested in anything save Holy Illusion."
