 dieting is not the way to go Member 1539, 5526 posts SQ 330, BP 230, DL 350910.0 kgs @ 135kgs UnEq | Mikeneto said:More weight is always better! But some getting a few reps....some getting about 5 reps and winner getting about 8 seems about right. Hate seeing it when it goes 10+...deadlift at Europe's for example. Can't see anyone getting 10 @ 150 tbh | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Only because of the clean part....I think if they put it to 160kg it will become more of a pressing event. You, Ed and Obearst will toy with the 150kg and become an endurance test. I am in the camp that prefers everything heavier. Likes to see around 5-6 reps win a repping event. Don't mind 7-9 and understand why it happens...hate to see 10+ | ||

Too heavy for this comp(I know you're joking)...at Arnold's I would actually agree, maybe even 190kg. I think for WSM 170-175kg for reps would be good for the final. | ||

 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | If you go too heavy you'll get too many split points. There needs to be a good spread of reps. When we did 157 at wsm I got 4th on log with 5 so I think 160 is too much for this comp. a genuine 150 is plenty. 160 you'd have guys standing around not lifting for at least 20 secs of the time | ||

I really hope someone does 10 reps now that you said that marc lol If you want my opinion if hix or ed are on top form and cardio fit I don't see ten being an impossibility | ||

 The Crossfit KingPin Member 941, 1810 posts SQ 230, BP 130, DL 285645.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Ed got 6 on 145 the at englands, didnt look comfy, but i dont think he was on top form. So maybe 7/8 if hes better at brits.. But i cant see ten | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 20.07.2013 @ 19:36 PM by Mikeneto I know this isn't clean and press...but he does do it with fair amount of ease. Hence why I said I would prefer it heavier and more of a test of upper body strength. Lots of endurance tests in this comp as it is.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rezazP9xd_0 Take into accounts ed's PB is 191kg...Hix has now done 200kg twice in training at least and Oberst has a 200kg log in comp from a year ago and will have probably improved. But then again it isn't the arnold's or WSM so weights should be lighter. | ||

For me log should always be clean and press as strongman is supposed to test the whole body. Going heavier seeing guys doing 1-4 reps is boring as s**t for the crowd | ||
