Guest emonarch777 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 A West Virginia firefighter has returned the title of the World's Strongest Man to the United States for the first time in 24 years. Phil Pfister of Charleston, W.Va., at 6-foot-6 and 230 pounds, outlifted, outpulled and outpushed 25 other contenders in Sanya, China, ABC News reported. "I haven't even gotten a good night's sleep yet," said Pfister, who arrived in West Virginia with the title Monday and was back at work Tuesday. "None of this has sunken in yet," he said. "I haven't even gotten back on my feet. I've got a lot of 'thank you's' to say." Pfister said he trained for the competition at area gyms, private homes and a closed junior high school, where he built equipment to simulate what he had to do in competition. Wisconsin's Bill Kazmaier was the last American to win the title, holding it from 1980-82. United Press International
