Professional strongman and second strongest man in the world, Morten Aamodt
Morten Aamodt, the 2nd naturally strongest man in the world, "feels the difference" with Zinzino
There’s a surprising natural aspect to strongmen. Unlike bodybuilding, which is focused on bulked up, aesthetic appeal and a lot of oiled-arm flexing, being a strongman and the naturally strongest man in the world is about physical strength – who can lift the most, not who looks best on a podium.
