Exactly, and the lack of videos makes me doubt if he has even been training log | ||

update game is weak Member 6289, 173 posts SQ 220, BP 120, DL 228568.0 kgs @ 175kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 04.10.2017 @ 23:18 PM by RebeccaRoberts To reply to both kev and ste https://www.instagram.com/p/BZWywA0le-A/ He has been training log, his warm ups with over 50kg dumbbells look an absolute joke, his strength was there. Possibly conditioning may have been an issue but when youre out last and going against the one you know will win the event if you dont its easier to find that willpower. Still think he genuinely did want to compete, he had been training the events and he definitely wasnt in bad shape. He just got ill, and it happens | ||

Deadlift championshi is first always, as the haviest lift in the competition, everybody fresh. | ||

Member 2775, 6927 posts | Post Edited: 04.10.2017 @ 23:38 PM by PaulSavage You guys think the worlds strongest man is lying about his training? Highly doubt being a lying sack of s**t is what earned ed that title. I think it says a lot more about who is accusing him of this than it does about ed.As for log - I don't know how to get videos off Facebook on here but if you scroll through ed's vids you will find a video on what looks to be the exact same wooden log where he does 160kg x 6 in 30 seconds with down commands and it was completely raw, didn't even wrap his wrists. | ||

Look through his facebook and actually do some research. Hes done 160 for 6 in 30 seconds and 168 for 5 in well under a minute. Hes said in a few of his posts hes been training log so what reason does he actually need to lie? Its stupid little conspiracies and i have no idea why people are giving him so much stick for being human and not being well | ||

It's a moonface era now. Member 5901, 956 posts | Edd cant beat Z on log for reps, any weight. Only max is close if hes over 190 kilos, on home ground, after long build up. | ||

 ‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3230 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | You can't interpret much from ultra high rep seated DB to how it would carryover to a 150kg log press I'm not going to get into speculation about why he withdrew. if he said he was ill then fair enough. But... He does look like he's lost a fair bit of pressing strength. From IG January 225 x 7 incline looked easy Sept 225 x 3 not easy at all grinders | ||

(due to focusing on log) This is a ridiculous argument, people should be supporting Ed, he's the first British worlds strongest man in a long time and he still gets people talking s**t about him - amazing. | ||

I've always supported ed, I believed he'd pull 500kg, I believed he'd win worlds a long time before most people did. But now I believe he's dropped off his training. Just because I'm not blindly believing every word he says doesn't mean "I'm giving him s**t", no body has said anything disrespectful about him. But a lot of people believe he had zero intention of competing me included, I said it before the show and it seems too big a coincidence. His social media style has changed since worlds, nearly everything he posts now is a video from before worlds! You're entitled to believe him, why you're getting so offended others don't is beyond me. | ||
