 Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | macroth said: There's a fine line between showing how incredibly strong they are, and showing how they're not strong enough. I prefer seeing guys do incredible feats rather than fail at impossible ones. I also think there is a fine line between showing how strong they are and setting such incredibly high standards it causes guys to push the envelope too far to attain the standard, thinking of what happened to a recent Arnold champ | ||

 Man up and have a fuckin coffee Member 2086, 9717 posts SQ 340, BP 252.5, DL 300892.5 kgs @ 158kgs UnEq | Some people like little boobies i like bigger boobies , your never gonna convince me that little bitty tittys are better than huge shapely round bouncy boobies and vice versa  | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22056 posts | Nothing wrong with failed lifts. Doesn't affect entertainment value, in my opinion. | ||

Death shouldn't be a part of strongman | ||

True, just remember 2002 Arnolds for example with the 166kg Apollons axle , nobody remembers all the guys who didnt lift the axle but everyone remembers Mark Henry repping it . Thats an iconic piece of strength history the fact the other guys couldnt do it should take nothing away from Henrys performance. | ||

I hit a pb today with a chest infection Member 3283, 1921 posts | ursus said: I personally would love to see Big Z moving with 750kg on his shoulders Do you think he would move with that on his shoulders? I remember the thread vaguely from the last Arnold's and everyone's opinion then was its too heavy. Me personally if some incredible achievement is made like Ursus points out then it's just as incredible to watch, but if by some chance they all barely move or get no reps it'll be a tad boring. Anybody doing a 750kg yoke will be pretty bloody amazing though! | ||

 what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10449 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | beza said: Do you think he would move with that on his shoulders?

Member 2775, 6927 posts | As if. I think hixxy would do the best out of all the brits. Being short helps with that deadlift and he's one of the best log presses out there. | ||

 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | Being totally honest its not my idea of strongman but as a stand alone comp why not. I actually like the yoke idea but wish it was 8-10m. Reason its not my cup of tea is 4 events, 2 being overhead is excessive and I personally think itll be boring to watch but I guess everyone has different opinions on what is the best way to test someones strength. Im Im just wondering what will happen when lalas locks a deadlift out and the tyres are still on the floor | ||

 tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Arnold's always strikes me as a comp that is boring to watch in its entirety, but always has some awesome highlights. | ||
