He has been quoted as saying that strongmen should be more akin to strongman of old, fighting for every step, not running. Ross s philosophy is represented in the contests the UKSC organise. There is little running with weights or like events, but rather lifting heavier weights as the main test and then struggling forward with them. Ross has said that, in relation to competing with other recognised events, such as Britain s Strongest Man , when there is competition, it is good for everyone competition in strongman creates an opportunity for the athletes, the fans and the sponsors to end up with a better product, and the reality is a free market situation anyway. ref name Polish http www.sfd.pl News t228809.html Polish Strength Forum Sportowe Forum Dyskusyjne ref Big, strong men are like bears.
