Mask it or Casket !! Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | Personally, I thought the safety measures were much improved this year e.g. buffers on the squat. However, why oh why keep doing it in a hot country ffs Britain would be the ideal place. | ||

I wouldn't discount Shaw if the same events were run again. He finished 3 points off Ed and finished 5th on the truck pull when you would usually expect him to finish 1st or 2nd. | ||

 Mr.Potato deadlift Member 2675, 4637 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 300800.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | It shows how good Shaw is when he's not at his best and still only finishes 3 points off winning. | ||

Same events and IMO shaw wins even if his hamstring goes again. Nobody has said much about it but for a guy who is supposed to be a bad squatter he did 13 easy pause squats at 320kg - pretty f**king awesome. | ||

I would pretty much always pick Shaw to win any comp if he is fit to be honest. The future GOAT> | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5207 posts | If Shaw was fully fit, he would of possibly won this year! He was definitely struggling during the final on the second day! | ||

What I mean is, I think Shaw at the height of his powers, is better than Zydrunas. If they battled it out over every event, over a period of time? Then Shaw for me wins, hands down! However Big Z has won more titles and held more records than any athlete. His early dominance at Arnold's is something else! | ||

By the time he has retired he will have added enough WSM and Arnold titles to be the goat. | ||
