Does anyone know when WSM is? Will Bryan make it to that I wonder?

LOAL at everyone writing Z off, not only from this comp but from the rest of his career Grin

He needs to sort out whatever has been going on with his lower back though, he will most certainly struggle a little going forward if he can't deadlift to his usual potential

I think we were all guilty of that

That deadlift was really off

But that says something about a man who deadlifts 400+ kg and everyone thinks he's badly hurt because he didn't do more Grin

I'm so glad he won
He's such a nice guy in person that I'll always be cheering for him

Feel bad for Shaw because you can see the man put in 100% into preparation
But that's all the part of the game unfortunately
I'm glad more people didn't get hurt from the insane weights



And to reply about the young Polish guy and WSM
He was invited the last time also, so he'll be invited again
The last time he felt he wasn't ready so he didn't go (didn't know the events soon enough)
I think he's the only guy that's more dedicated than Shaw in terms of contest preparation

I saw a pic that looked like he pressed it and locked it but couldn't hold it or stabilise it for the down command?

Congrats to big Z the Man the Legend
Gutted for Brian, hopefully his injury is not as bad and he'll be able to start at the WSM, Lalas great comeback solid performance. Kieliszkowski didn't look happy at all during the closing ceremony, I don't think 4th place is what he has envisioned for himself going in. I'm sure having 4 events in one day didn't help anyone.

even though i dont like Shaw

he was very good, much better than last year, which i didn expect

his injury obviously not that serious

Shaw on facebook:

"Just finished up 2nd place at the 2016 Arnold Strongman Classic. It was a tough battle after slightly tearing my hamstring on my final 1021 lb deadlift at the beginning of the competition. I did everything I could do today and came up one point short. No excuses as we all have to deal with getting beat up and I will only come back even stronger!"

after performance here he's a favourite for WSM for sure

Zydrunas log reps looked very unexplosive.even less leg drive than usual.Shoulders seem even stronger this year
I hope he breaks the 507lbs barrier today.

yes, i was going to say that

no explosiveness at all, minimal leg drive, every rep easier

even on dumbel, his pressing abilities are way above anyone, he just doesnt have Shaw's explosiveness and flexibility
