The thing about it is that shaws so big in his frame that he can be 200kg fairly lean, so its a completely different situation. Saying this, medically, he's probably not expected to live too long.

Again, lean, fit and healthy are all different things. Coincidental often, but not necessarily causational.

Strongman hardly lends itself to a healthy lifestyle. The top guys are not worrying about 20 years from now, and some pay the price (JPS Jesse) but others seem to have no ill effects. To get to the top of the game you take your chances, but shaw appears to be taking more than most lol

Think Brians determined to be right back in the mix this year. Still make him second favourite after big Z.

All honestly tho, would it be that suprising if somebody else were to have a good comp and win it. All the top guys are that good at the moment, all it would take is to score high in their weaker events and they would have good chance of winning, or at the very least make the podium.

I personally think Shaw will win comfortably this year.

Probably be a deadlift for max which I think he can win and will.

Overhead for reps he is actually very good at, he has proved this at the last two Arnold's. Dumbbell he is very good at also. Will still be the event he loses most points due to the ridiculous amount of good pressers at the moment.

Then all stuff like yoke, farmers, truck pull he can win and but will be top 3....then stones he will win.

Any strange event like arm over arm or barrel throwing he is good at also because he has farm boy strength. Any grip test he will win because he also has the best grip on the planet.

If you put 6 events on and Brian Shaw is in good shape....he is the favourite imo. He was fairly badly injured last year, 2011 he was dominant, he looks to be even better this year.

I wasn't saying he is medically unhealthy...I personally don't think he will reach a 100(or a lot younger). But I just remember Ursus saying before that they had to lie about Glenn Ross's weight before because he was well over 500lbs and deemed a medical risk. Wasn't to sure if Shaw was heading in the same direction.

Non of them are as consistent as him across the board...in no event will he lose big points, every other strongman has an event where they will. He also has a few events where he will win. I think in the final he will win at least 2 events and then be top 3 in another 3 events and then say about 5th in the overhead. That will win him the title comfortably imo.
