Dear Jediediah

It's true that women are indeed powerless to resist a set of large pecs….Trust me on that one! And yes, bench pressing is an effective way to increase the size of your man-boobs. But the most important factor is the last part of you r question: the Bench shirt….now we're getting somewhere. So I'm gonna let you in on a little known secret. You see, in this day and...

Dearest Conan,

I have heard that the Bench Press can give me the Dolly Parton sized pecs I have always desired and will attract chicks to me my the dozen. Is this really true! Plus, should I go triply ply or quadruple ply shirt if I want to get really strong.
Thanks,
Jedediah

I'm sure it was self affirming for the Godfather to make such a comparison. So although this has nothing to do with strongman, I will describe for you the family tradition that he is referring to and compare to the activities that the godfather engages in and will then let you be the judge. When I was growing up back in Wyoming, during holidays all of my family would gather at my grandparent's home for thanksgiving and Christmas meals....

Dear Conan,

In the past, I have heard you refer to the almight Godfather as being a hillbilly. When I asked him about it, he claimed that you had no room to talk, citing your Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners in Wyoming as to why you were more "hillbilly" than he. Please explain what transpired during those gatherings? do you think it makes you more or less hillbilly than the Godfather?

Dear Dazed and confused.
I believe that the confusion stems partially from the terminology itself. A "Full Squat" is performed below parallel, any similar movement performed above parallel is technically termed a "weighted Curtsy". The Curtsy is a traditional gesture of greeting, in which a girl or woman bends her knees while bowing her head, She may also use her hands to hold her skirt out from her body. The curtsy was considered polite, and an indicator of high...

Dear Conan, My Uncle says I should squat "ass
cheeks to the floor". I'm confused by
this. I typically squat really, really low, almost to
parallel! Why is he on my case? What does it all
mean?

I apologize for the delay in response, however when you understand the reason for the delay, I am sure you will appreciate its necessity. Since I had very little experience with bodybuilding, I decided that in order to maintain the editorial integrity of Conan's corner and still provide you with the most cutting edge training information, I had no choice but to become a bodybuilder. So, the very day you posted your original question I began my metamorphosis from a strength athlete into...

Conan -

Is there any real difference in the training for strongman and bodybuilding? I mean, they both lift weights, right?

Sincerely,
The Gloved one

Dear Adoring fan

This is a much more important question than you might think. First I will answer you directly ….YES, I did in fact match skills and stamina with the gentleman Timmy Nassen. And I would like to also acknowledge my wingman Shawn Baier who paralleled this accomplishment (congratulations to you sir!) at grave risk to life, limb, and liver. Normally it is considered fashionable and in good taste to feign modesty when one is asked a question such as this. And...

Dearest Conan,

It has come to my attention that recently you were able to keep pace with the legendary Tim Nassen, of Daves Bithday party, 2008 fame. To some, this would put you at the status of legend or even a demigod. Where do you think this puts you? Is this your greatest achievement ever? Also, where do you go from here?

Dear Admiral

We have had only preliminary tests done (due to the fact that most medical testing equipment is damaged or severely distorted by the radiation emitted from Dave 's endocrine glands), and the evidence does suggest that at some time Dave's DNA was at least mostly humanoid. Many of us have witnesses the phenomenon that is Dave and questioned the origins of the universe.
The lore surrounding Dave is somewhat unbelievable had it not been verified by...

Dear Conan,
I had the opportunity to work out at the Belton Hanger this weekend past, and came across something of concern to me. As it was quite hot, many of the participants were dripping of perspiration in buckets, whereas this elderly gentleman by the name of Dave appeared cool and dry. Now, that in and of itself is not a huge deal, but that compounded with some other things I have heard have led me to write you this concern. I also noticed that at 456 years old, Dave was lifting...

Dear Small man. I apologize for the delay in response but the staff here at Conan's corner strive to always provide our readers with the most up to date information available and to answer your question required that many staff members to spend long hours pouring through reference material and industry journals. You have expressed two conflicting goals: 1) to be able to eat like a "man" (over 200 Lbs)…a completely understandable goal. 2) To be able to maintain the weight of a...

Dearest Conan,

As a man of large stature, how should us small mortal men resist the urge to consume large amounts of food. I am finding it hard to stay close to my 200lber frame with whole pies always calling to me. I try to have cheat meals, but they always turn into cheat weeks. Please tell me what to do.

Dear D.I.K.C

While I understand and share your concern. I do feel it's my duty to educate you as to the many complex threats that face the average KCSTRONGMAN member. In this day and age we are seeing a widespread deterioration of online social etiquette and common courtesy in a self preservative response to these many...

Dear Conan-
Sometimes when I or another member of KCSTRONGMAN are going to be competing, another member will start a thread wishing us good luck. While this is very nice, I have noticed lately the amount of views to the thread and the amount of people adding their well wished seems quite off balance. Whereas, there may be 2 members that add thier thoughts to the post, there may have been 47 views. I know when I know someone is going to be competing or I see a thread like that I add well...

That my friend is an excellent question. Here are some of the many characteristics that make the "Belton Hanger" the Woop-assest training facility ever:

1) They used to repair airplanes there, so there are cool signs posted all around that tell you that it was once a place where people had to be reminded not to get sucked into jet engines.

2) They store salt piles for a snow removal company there, so in the winter time you have to dodge dump trucks while doing...

Today I am posting my own question:

Dearest Mr. Conan, I have been told that the "Belton Hanger" is by far the most Woop-assest training facility ever. Could you list some of the attributes that would reinforce this argument?

Dear Conan,
I recently was asked what my diet consisted of and at what times I ate,
etc.
After providing, what I thought was some very useful information, I was
told that I must have a "spam and mayonnaise sandwich physique".
Could you shed some light on what that means?

Sincerely,
