 ‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3230 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | PaulSavage said: Didn't he say that he hasn't been benching? (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'm not talking s**t lol - i like eddie and i've never said he wasn't ill. i'm stating facts off IG - he's lost some weight (183kg now down from what was his WSM weight 195?) | ||

 his poor male ego must be crushed Member 883, 6251 posts SQ 290, BP 180, DL 420890.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | SteBennett said: 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. Bingo. You can both support someone and question them. Or you can be a sheep and suck someones balls and believe every word they say. | ||

How is he that big if he's hardly training / spending most of his time lying to people? Doesn't really add up. He was heavier for worlds because it was a much heavier comp (keep in mind as well that 184kg is without carb up). | ||

 Member 5141, 4207 posts SQ 300, BP 180, DL 350830.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | ^^ Yeah, because everyone said he 'was hardly training'. | ||

Worlds was not a much heavier comp. 400kg dead for reps, 470kg yoke, 470kg frame carry, stones up to 200kg. | ||

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | PaulSavage said: 184kg 20th of last month but looked to have abs showing a bit.

He was heavier for worlds because it was a much heavier comp (keep in mind as well that 184kg is without carb up). Unless someone has carb/water depleted as they do for a target weigh-in then there's very little ability to carb load/up, as carb stores in the muscle/liver would be full anyway. Open competitors tend to walk around at their competitive weight unless they are bulking/cutting for a specific comp/reason. It's not like being an u90/u105 competitor who can add 5-10kg overnight following a carb/water cut pre-weigh in. Heavyweight competitors are only adding that weight overnight if they are just gorging themselves on food, which wouldn't add an competitive edge anyway, in most instances. | ||

I'm not sure why Paul thinks Eddie has the ability to carb up on a normal day to day basis. Maybe it's something to do with these magic calories? | ||

Maybe it's something to do with these magic calories? Ed has said he carbs up for comps, ask him about it, he has detailed it before. He also does carb up meals for training sessions (I'm guessing just heavy weights ones or events). This is also what I do / have Becca do. Why would ed not have the ability to carb up? | ||

So, your body only stores a certain amount of glycogen in the muscles and liver and in most situation these stores are kept full. If you deplete your glycogen stores you can temporarily supercompensate and increase storage above normal levels, however, this is a very short lived thing. THAT is why you can only carb load after depleting. Now tell me Paul, why the f**k do you think you can carb up when you've not depleted? | ||
