Some guys just get it. If you notice in our Rx Girl section, Editor Gail Auerbach has tons of girls using the internet to market themselves. Whether they are looking for modeling gigs, industry jobs, sponsorship opportunities or are trying to get their name out for personal reasons, the girls in the health and fitness industry get it. Well, it's great to see one of the biggest names in U.S Strongman getting his name out there. This guy is now slouch. In 2011 he deadlifted in comeptition 906lbs, won several events at the Olympia Strongman Challenge and America's Strongest Man competitions as well as supporting his very lovely girlfriend in her powerlifting exploits. This former U.S. Marine has a ton on tap for 2012 and here is your chance to keep up with his day to day toilings in training and life.

Mike Jenkins is happy and, best of all, healthy.
Jenkins, a resident of Harrisburg, is eager for his next major strong man competition; after forcing to withdraw from the World's Strongest Man event in late September due to a back injury.
He's also been doing some other heavy lifting of late; Jenkins has been busy opening up a new training facility in Lower Paxton Township, called Catalyst Athletics at 13 Stripes Cross Fit gym.
You gotta love the programming over at ESPN this time of year. Well, if you are a basketball fan, it's just fine. If you could give a flying fuck and would rather stick forks in your eyes.... then the challenge is there. ESPN execs decided to move the 2011 Worlds Strongest Man coverage, not once, but twice. Those of us in the U.S. who had their DVR's set for this past Tuesdays announced coverage were sorely disappointed to instead see Appalatian State Tech A&M take on William Jefferson Technical Provocial High School JV squad in yet, another round ball classic!
When one thinks of a strongman, visions of great men of myth and legend like Hercules, Samson and Milo probably come to mind. In the modern era ASC strongman like Marshall White, Michael Burke, Brian Shaw, Vincent Urbank and many others fit the bill. But, let’s be honest who among us towers over 6’4” tall and weighs in at 330 + pounds?
So what about the rest of the world? “Stature is not the only determining factor of great strength or zeal for competition,” says ASC President Dione Wessels. “I am a 5’2” woman. I was a National champion strongwoman and World championship power lifter. I love and have dedicated my life to strength sports. With that being said, ASC is proud to announce that the first Strongman Fitness Championship will take place at the Arnold Sports Festival in 2013.”
