| mobilised hips and ankles lots. high bar squats 60kg x 3 + 1 overhead squat 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 120kg x 1 140kg x 1 belt on 157.5kg x 5,5,5,5,5,9 cheating dirty sumo deadlifts with hook grip 60kg x 3 100kg x 3 140kg x 3 150kg x 3, 3, 3 - belt on and made a massive difference frobt squat 60kg x 3 100kg x 3 125kg x 5 pull ups bw x 19 happy squats felt good after first few sets. didn't want to push too hard but back felt good sumo pulls felt better on work sets. hook grip made them comfortable but bar wasnt great and was holding smooth section front squats felt like a 1rm on first rep but got easier and easier as set went on - leading to me dropping down to quickly hitting the rack and not being able to recover.wanted ten reps and think it was easily there despite the fatigue | |||

billynomates said:I think most events are easier for Shaw cos of his size. The contest might as well be called Worlds Biggest Man In that context I think Zydrunas' achievements are all the more impressive the last event they took away the advantage of height on stones and made it more a test of strength - shaw dominated. Z is a great competitor but far too many elevate him to more than he is making excuses for his losses but then criticise any other competitor who has an injury and mention it | |||

Mindspin said:Z will be back.He placed 2nd in 2013 after only just having surgery a few weeks before, no one can beat Z when he is in shape  Ed Hall/thor at there 100% best can't beat Z at 85% but Shaw can. I can't see Ed topping 4th place unless the top 3 get really injured. A few names coming up in England I think will overtake Ed in the next few years. Terry has been at the top for a long time due to his genetics. Shame about Loz as he had great potential for podium, dropping weight drasticly has effected his equibirium on events this can then increase chance of injury. I guess he wanted to look good for his PT business? Hope he heals up and gets back to his normal shape.who will overtake Hall soon? not being antagonistic, genuinely asking? | |||

Costy said:Didnt Z and Shaw do any big shows before worlds? Think Eddie did one too many shows and despite breaking the world deadlift there the second arnold probably was what lead to his elbow/tricep | |||

| great result for Shaw does seem on here when Z underperforms against expectations its explained away by injury yet Hall clearly injures himself and his performance is due to him being over rated. seriously good result for eddie beating thor on stones. if he continues to improve and doesnt do three big shows before WSM next year he could easily get on podium. | |||

Post Edited: 23.04.2015 @ 22:47 PM by glen_danbury do think what others have said about getting your set up right in the first instance will help buti found kettlebell bottom up presses great for teaching gripping the bar and for keeping your wrist straighthttps://youtu.be/ndR8S4Hqd9w | |||
