Untitled[edit]

Rumors of Magnus' demise are greatly exaggerated. This user seems to have a history of inserting fictitious dates of death in articles of people who are still alive. Dsreyn 13:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lifts[edit]

Someone listed his best bench press as 300 kg RAW. The most I've seen mentioned for him, and the most his site claims is 270 kg.Cephlapod (talk) 14:40, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Squat: 280kgx10reps; with belt and knee wraps." Magnus' primary weakness was his lower body strength so I find this claim suspicious.Cephlapod (talk) 14:40, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

43 shoe size???[edit]

That's impossible!

It's 47 and that's euro size. 47 euro=14.5 american. Claidheamohmor 06:30, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that is possible, then. Thanks for clearing that up for me. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.164.108 (talk) 23:47, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

His entry into rallying should be mentioned also? 92.25.242.14 (talk) 13:20, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Steroid use, or lack there of?[edit]

It should be mentioned that Magnus states on his site, "My ambition was to see how strong I could get, and I am totally clean, which proves that success is possible without drugs." Very few strongmen even mention the subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.33.2.160 (talk) 00:36, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Acting Career[edit]

As someone who had never heard of Samuelsson before he became a star of the Swedish crime drama series Arne Dahl, named for the pen name of author Jan Arnald, I feel this article dramatically underplays his acting career. Arne Dahl is being shown on British TV right now, so considering he's a TV actor in a show that's being screened in two countries (that I'm aware of), I think we need to update his occupation and the first line of the article to reflect that he is, at least currently, an actor.

Place of Birth[edit]

Place of birth is wrong he was born in Kinda kommun south of Linköping. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.228.152.185 (talk) 09:39, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Claims with no source or evidence[edit]

Much like the 300 kg bench press nonsense, the claim that he has been a European Arm Wrestling champion is wrong too. If its real; what year did he win? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.72.91.6 (talk) 16:46, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
