Phil Pfister


A Man Who Will Actually Do the Heavy Lifting
By:Jeffrey Lara

In the Article by Ira Berkow he writes about the human giant Phil Pfister which was actually 2006 Worlds Strongest man. Phil stands 6’6 345 lbs and is one of the top USA strength athletes. Phil has been featured on David Leatherman flipping a car and talking about his title of the World’s strongest man. Along with Phil’s success as a strongman he is a fireman in Charleston West Virginia.
Phil is known as the gentle giant in strongman, he is one of the most widely known strength athletes due to his size and overall dedication to his sport. Even though Phil is getting older he is getting better, now in 2010 he is the strongest he has ever been which is surprising but not farfetched. It seems Phil is more relaxed now that he is older which allows him to do better. Phil is a very exciting athlete to watch because of his absolute intensity to get things done.
Phil seems to impress every year by getting bigger and stronger and more experienced in every event. Even though Phil is such a monster of a man he said he never played sports in high school it wasn’t until after college that he decided to try strongman and now he is unbelievably strong and good at the sport. Phil still does not know when he will retire, he feels his years aren’t up yet and he still has room to improve as an athlete. Phil continues to impress and its not out of the question if he will win another title.
