Joni said:after wee bit of pondering, i think this BSM should just be called "londons strongest 105" - he would probably get more guys in and it would be a better comp. All the UKs finalists could still enter if they so wanted, and new guys would also hopefully pour in. likelyhood of bsm happening south of manc is slim to none I reckon. | |||

tlast2O12dude said: It wouldn't happen. Big.Z has got to his best shape and strength level. what makes you say that? I would back Z too but a 100% pudz vs Z is not a foregone conclusion in the wsm format imo. | |||

| boring to watch. they did it in the sweden super series a couple of years ago and it wasnt entertaining imo. lifting an object off the floor to overhead is a better full body test and has a danger element to it which creates drama. as far as people relating to the event, yeah gym goers can relate to bench but most people can relate to picking something heavy up and lifting it over their head. kids do that s**t all the time! | |||

JC said: True, but people seem to be assuming that its the discuss/plyo and whateva else training that makes discuss Ben a good strongman? How about the fact he's strong and has great timing for PP etc which make him a good strongman I have a near national level shot putter friend who is much the same I dont know whether hes just a beast or whether a different approach to training is giving him the edge. thats why im posing the question to see what people think! bish is another example of someone doing well in strongman without it being his first sport. pudz reputedly played rugby. phil pfister used to do alot of plyo work and other things I believe? boar and his crazy fitness workouts! its a legit question no? | |||

JC said:I know a few guys, strong as f**k, ex PL, ex Oly lifters. You know what they do? They Squat, they DL and they press to get strong as f**k! Now thats a revolutionary plan some of them jump too though right? of course thats true but powerlifters train like that and I think its true to say a good powerlifter doesnt necassarily make a good strongman? robbo - yeah watching discus ben at the uks made me start thinking about this. I thought his technique on stuff like stones could do with alot of work but his athletisism still carried him through to a very convincing 2nd place. | |||
