End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 02.09.2020 @ 13:05 PM by Mikeneto OK, it isn't very European, but still a good line-up. Lots of events and 2 day format. I can see it being an entertaining comp regardless.So log lift could see a new WR. Hicks or L.Stoltman. A few grip events thrown in for Felix by Bryce as per usual...but i like grip. Youngsters coming through with Richardson and Novikov....i think both will have improved lots from the break. Lalas returns Bishop looking like he has gone to the next level. I think there will be lots of surprises. Shame Tom Stoltman isn't doing it...i assume it is to focus on a lift record he already has. | ||

 Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | so these are the athletes.. Luke Richardson Oleksii Novikov Terry Hollands Graham Hicks Vytautas Lalas Aaron Page Gavin Bilton Luke Stoltman Adam Bishop Mark Felix Pa O'Dwyer events are? max log dl reps herc hold forward hold stones ??? I love the idea of an 8 event comp but having herc hold and forward hold as two of them kinda negates any benefit of it in my eyes. | ||

They're two totally different events. 1 is grip and the other is pain tolerance. That's like saying yoke and frame negate any benefit because they are both vaguely similar. | ||

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6051 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | WILLSAN said: I mean entertainment wise - they are both pretty s**t to watch. I'd agree. They both ultimately look like a bloke stood in a stationary position with an increasingly big gurn on their face. I appreciate that work on totally different aspects of strength but damn, surely a more "interesting" event could have replaced one* of those? *front hold | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 03.09.2020 @ 10:34 AM by Mikeneto As much as Sugden posters seem to hate Hercules hold and Front hold, if you check the 'official strongman' YouTube page and order videos by popularity...they're actually the most popular events.https://www.youtube.com/c/Officialstrongman/videos?view=0&sort=... I can see why Bryce keeps pushing Felix..100 million views from the two videos is insane and a good money earner. He has probably made £100k+ just from those videos, why not just do another one and make another £50k+ | ||

I tend to think that just following the money is profitable in the short term but it has the potential to come back and bite you in the end. my beef really is that when I heard the 8 events, 2 days, no crowd (presumably?) I saw the potential to do some badass fortissimuss style events. then I heard it was front hold and herc hold.. | ||
