Why is that? Perhaps I should have put it in Competitions. Just wanted to let people know.

The lads aren't getting much rest between competitions this year.

“Brutal events like the Dumbbell Press, Deadlift, Atlas stones and Log Lift for max will be done,” said Mostert


I can see why its a 'brutal edition' competition. I dont think we've ever seen anything as brutal as this done before in strongman.

Yeah I was thinking that myself. Why is this particularly brutal?

From the Arnold Brazil site, it looks like it will be just deadlift, atlas stones and log, with 4 hours total.

I assume it is deadlift for reps rather than max? Log is max I think.

When i first read it i thought all four events were going to be done for max. That would have been cool. Max DB and Stone would be interesting.

Max stone be cool but would be difficult to do as to do it properly you would need something like 10-20lb jumps so you wouldnt get a load of athletes on the same weights. Would be very expensive to make, especially considering all the failed attempts at getting the correct stone weights.

Would be cool to do max stone, but way too expensive for anyone to take it on.

I thought it was max too... max log and max dead would make it very difficult for anyone to get past Z...

I think Ben's meaning before it turns into a debate between Big Z's fan club and everyone else especially if Z gets "cheated" out of a win because the competition wasn't designed specifically for him lol

It has a max log event in so that's definitely at least one for Z. Wink
