Don't try this at home

You've heard the warning before.

Sure you have. Just before some daredevil executes an amazing stunt or preceding some WWE main event.

Well, here's something else you don't wanna try at home:

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VedPCKEUQWI I have to apologies for the terrible quality of this video. I shot it with my mobile phone and 14 seconds-per-clip was all it could afford me.

And in case there is any doubt...Yes, that was a guy running with a 100kg sack of rice over 20m and then back again for seconds.

This was just 1 of 5 grueling events of the 4th "Singapore's Strongest Man Competition" held yesterday, 15 March 2008.

I know what some of you might ask. The answer is..... No, not in a million years. :P

I probably could manage lifting that sack of rice off the ground an inch or 2., but running with it? I'll HAVE TO pass.

So who is that guy in the video clip?

Can you see the resemblance?

He's my kid brother Frank and this is his 3rd time taking part in the competition.

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47ofL4pB390 This year, he managed to retain his 2nd place title from last year. The year before, in 2006, he clinched the top prize and title of Singapore's Strongest Man.

And just so y'all know, both this year's and last year's winners weighed in at over 120kg. Frank's bodyweight averaged 97kg. Just something to think about there....

Needless to say, i'm extremely proud of him.  :)

There was also a bodybuilding contest:

lastly, a little eye candy for all the ladies:
