f**k videos judging by what I saw at englands most powerful man you are up there you just lack confidence in yourself. Get your big monstrous name down for as many comps you can.


Cheers for that Sean lets see what happens Wink

tel it wasn't a dig and yes it would be a pointless exercise making you do the qualifier but i thought they were making it so that nobody got in by right that everyone had to qualify? I'm pretty sure mark did the turkey or poland one with rob frampton just before wsm


Turkey didn't happen mate. Maybe he did one of those wsf comps. I see what your saying but if that's the case why not make loz qualify too? It's a qualifier to get you into a giants live. Surely I don't need to qualify for them being I've been doing them for 8 years? My understanding is its not bsm but if there's no bsm the highest place Brit will get the title. I believe there'll be guys from other countries competing, well that's what Colin told me yesterday

Ah I was under the impression that It was bsm and with loz winning last year he wouldnt have to qualify. Maybe mark didn't do one then I just knew he and rob were down for it

It was only 2/3rd of a comp this year though. I'm not saying Laurence wouldn't have won but 4 events isn't exactly enough imo. That's not a dig at loz just my opinion. In 2007 and 2008 for bsm they said for me and Felix cause we finaled at wsm we didn't have to qualify

Thought I should add as I wasn't totally clear perhaps. I think making the final at wsm is as much justification as winning bsm to get a bye

just to be clear,Terry is correct...its not bsm (we never said it was) we do not own the title bsm, its the GIANTSLIVE BRITISH OPEN.There will be about 4 Internasionals and the rest british,the highest placing brit will be crowned british champ.As for wild cards Terry and loz have dominated the british circit for years so they will be the only two not to have to qualifie..the rest of the top guys are all to close together and there are limited spaces so they'll have to fight it out for a spot on the 7th april. The british open will be held at Gateshead Stadium on august 3rd and will be filmed for chanell 5 and eurosport.(top 3 got to WSM)

Well i think its fantastic that we have this competition in place in England ..

It gives everybody something to aspire towards.


I shall hope to be able to come over and watch this one and see the future of English Strongman in action.

By my reckoning there will be at least 5 or 6 lads who have been to WSM doing the English qualifier in April and 14 others! Going to be brutal, tough but fun!

If there's so much interest in this qualifier, would it not be better to run regional qualifiers?
Surely end result is the strongest Brits should be competing, not necessarily just the most well known names?
If an up and coming guy like wayne is showing such potential, be a shame for him to not go just because his name isn't established on the giants circuit yet?
Just my thoughts,
Whoever competes, sounds like it will be an awesome show to watch.

Got to agree with JC on Westerby and Sadler back. Always liked the way Westerby showed up in his working boots and just did everything in them.
