Member 2492, 78 posts | Few days ago we have seen the NEW WORLD RECORD STONE OF STEEL 183 kg lifted by ERIC DAWSON, without tacky and sleeves, only chalk allowed. Now we have stonelifting record with tacky and sleeves (252 kg, Brian Shaw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69m9QvTogMg ) and record 183 kg with only chalk on hands. Is strongman going towards it's equipped version, similar as powerlifting? Any opinions? | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | I always though Fingal's Fingers would be an excellent application for the Board Helmet. | ||

 Member 2216, 2243 posts | Hasnt it always been equipped? Looks like everyone is wearing a supersuit & straps for silver dollar deadlift in 1983? | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | They should get rid of suits. No one even cares about equipped lifting in powerlifting anymore. All the big names are competing in 'raw'...only CYC was left and I am pretty sure he is injured/retired | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts | Take suits away, then Shaw wins deadlift easy. Better keep suits, to make that event competitive. | ||

Just like he did in worlds and arnolds this year where they didnt allow suits? Oh wait, no, the same man beat Brians deadlift in both of those comps. You know the guy, he is the same Beast who speed repped a new WR and then pulled 500kg afterwards. | ||

Did Ed not wear a suit at WSM?? | ||

Did he beat Brian at Worlds this year? I thought they were joined first! | ||

I am from Germany so i know what i talk about.

Remember Brian wasn't allowed to go for another attempt.He would have beaten Ed easily. Just compare their two lifts. Also one could wear a deadlift suit at worlds. And they still got joint 1st place. | ||
