- Just bought a magazine with interviews from Janne Virtanen and Jouko Ahola. Good other strongman info in the magazine also. Jouko Ahola said Finnish strongmen don't train enough with implements and event training should consist about 80% of the total training. He also said he had ran a 60sec 400m when he weighed 118,8kg ! THAT is insane. No wonder he was so well conditioned. He also mentioned he and Virtanen basically only did front squats, narrow grip benches and deadlifts in the gym in the end of 90's. Jouko is still quite jacked.... he looked untrained before because he had to stop training for one year for a movie role.
