AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5208 posts | brownbear said: I think the combination of more chemicals, more participants and the fact that when one person achieves something extraordinary it pushes others to do the same. Andy Bolton pulled 1000lbs. Twenty years ago that would have sounded absurd. Now three men have done it and thor has done 990lbs, shaw not far off either. We're even talking about when Eddie will do 1100! This is a good post. It's similar to any sport. I bet years ago, anyone running sub 10sec in the 100m, was a pipe dream. Once someone achieves the impossible, others will do the same, or better. | ||

Wee Donnie Member 5605, 450 posts | a big difference i see between young guys and older one in strongman is the face bloat and not the same grainy muscularity yes thor has a six pack but his face doesnt look lean as radzikowski who actually has no shredded abbs its obvious no water retention its visceral fat for me its about insulin abuse in some top guys its more dramatic the change of phisique shaw 2009-2011(30 kg plus), thor 2009(from skinny fat dianabol teenager to monster 2011 WSM competitor 40 kg plus) edd hall do i have to comment its simple guys u dont see this in Radz for example, who is one of the most genetically gifted men there | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | donnie said:cant argue edd hall is far ahead in deadlifting unbeliavable strength I kind of disagree. Benni beat him last year and could come back stronger, Shaw won deadlift at Arnold's and WSM...Thor just pulled 450kg and could get stronger if he bulked more. Who knows what a fully healed up Z could pull...his deadlifting in 2014 was amazing at both Arnold comps. | ||

Average hamstring at best Member 4663, 588 posts | I honestly think he could get a double at that weight with how it went up. I really hope we can see ed win wsm, it's about time a brit won it again, and for me he's our only realistic chance. Does anyone know when the documentary on him is coming out, they showed a clip on Saturday and looked interesting | ||

Sorry, I don't really know anything about the PED's used in this sport. Is some of the difference between guys competing now and those from years past (like Kaz) due to different/better PED's? | ||
