Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16708 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | is there any footage of him competing anywhere? dont know enough to make a judgement. a lot of the events have slip up potential so I disregarded him due to lack of experience. | ||

understanding of the sport, little he has.

The only stuff I've seen is on his Instagram, he's a very strong lad for certain. Obvious weaknesses would be stones and overhead (coming from a powerlifting background), but I'm looking forward to seeing what he puts together | ||

On insta he has a vid of him testing out a stone run on the comp kit 100-180 and he can one motion the 180. | ||

old age traveller Member 332, 7915 posts | Very hard to predict a winner, I think this will without doubt be the best BSM for a long time if not ever and the most difficult to win. Having known Bish since he looked like an albino Swan vesta I would love him to take top spot Looking back to last year Bish beat Hixxy on 4 out of 5 events but still finished runner up due to one poor event , this year with so many good guys a mistake will prove incredibly costly. Top 5 should be Bish the Stoltmen Luke and BB, The overhead will most likely hurt Terry and Felix too much for them to challenge. Stoltman the younger obviously has all the physical tools to win but has he the composure? We'll soon see | ||

I concur with this thought. in addition the events are pretty technical which will increase the probability of slips. keeping a cool head will be important. got tickets for christmas. anyone else going? | ||

what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10452 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | Luke is amazing at stones, I think that will be his best event along with deads, I imagine the moving events will be where he could drop points | ||

A member for 10 years and still no mouldy peanuts Member 1252, 4577 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 215495.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | unit94 said:Luke is amazing at stones, I think that will be his best event along with deads, I imagine the moving events will be where he could drop points Yep - he has gone on some sort of "Limitless" uptake of how to and technique in Strongman. The latest stone run on Instagram was freakish for such a 'young' athlete - in terms of experience. But, he is a BIIIG dude: and more of a prop than a second row, in terms of build. Moving events are what might cost him. | ||

the ferryman will always need his coin. Member 1085, 408 posts SQ 220, BP 175, DL 285680.0 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq | Small margins and small mistakes. 3 or 4 could win this year, I think there will be more than 1 guy kicking themselves come Sun night on the mistake they made rather than the rep they missed. Tom last yr missing his balance point in the frame pickup possibly cost him the overall. Shaw would have had another world Strongest title if he hadn't taken his eye off the sandbag before it fell off. | ||
