Are these the biggest dudes in the world?

Everyone bangs on about the Mountain from Game of Thrones and what a gigantic beast he is, but there are plenty more humongous dudes out there that barely get a mention. Let us take a moment to appreciate the muscle bound guys out there and the sheer dedicated it takes to maintain such size.

Martyn Ford
The 6'8 formerly skinny nerd first began training to become a professional cricket player but after sustaining an injury that prevented him from playing cricket, he decided to go into bodybuilding instead. The rest is history.



Markus Ruhl
Rühl began training at the age of 18 following a doctor's recommendation after sustaining a knee injury while playing soccer. Why is it that so many guys just 'fall into' bodybuilding after sustaining an injury.



Ronnie Coleman
Ronnie Dean Coleman is a retired American professional bodybuilder and the winner of the Mr. Olympia title for eight years in a row. He's apparently regarded as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time.



The Mountain
Obviously I had to add this legendary beast to the list. He may not be as ripped as some of the others but he sure is big



Brian Shaw
The dude is a tank, weighing in at 420lbs and standing at just over 6'8, he's truly a force to be reckoned with. As the winner of several strongman competitions, his size clearly isn't just for show.
