 understanding of the sport, little he has. Member 798, 9943 posts SQ 260, BP 150, DL 272.5682.5 kgs @ 82.5kgs UnEq | KevC86 said: It also means no one gets a shot at the log WR before Ed is ready to try again at Brits. I thought that there was a log lift championship on the 15th June in Lithuania? | ||

 Member 5560, 769 posts | KevC86 said:WSM final events have been confirmed. All what we already knew, except, max log has been replaced with max oly bar overhead. Given this hasn't been in strongman for a long time (or ever with a clean?) I suspect the thinking is it guarantees a new WR. It also means no one gets a shot at the log WR before Ed is ready to try again at Brits. TBH I think it makes it more interesting. I've seen Max Log a fair few times. | ||

'Laurel' Member 4532, 484 posts SQ 260, BP 175, DL 270705.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 23.04.2018 @ 07:16 AM by yiannis KevC86 said: I mean if Z hits or beats 230 (i dont believe he will) Giants live will come up with a reason for it not to be their official record so that 230 at Brits will still count as a WR. I think the log lift championship is a SCL comp so that wouldn't count for giants live record anyway would it? I could be wrong tho! | ||

 I eat a lot of meat Member 5124, 2997 posts SQ 245, BP 130, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | For once, I'm actually excited about an event! Nice to see overhead for max on an oly bar. | ||

The current WR is from Arnold's on an IFSA log. So they do accept it. Only the FIBO log has a separate record because it is obviously much wider. | ||

Well if it is the bar with the globes on the side it wobbles like crazy..will be ridiculous at 220kg. | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22057 posts | They had max floor to overhead with a barbell in one of the heats of WSM 1997. The best lift was 165kg. Unless it doesn't rotate or something it gives a massive advantage to a weightlifter. | ||

True, I expect them to try and jazz it up so it looks visually impressive, which will of course be less favorable to the athlete. | ||
