Do you not count Thor’s deadlift as the current WR strongman deadlift then? No. Biggest gym lift ever but not done in a contest I really cant grasp it tbh what's the point in competition if this stands ?

The point is it has been a rather unusual year, imagine training for a decade to achieve a certain goal and then having the competition removed. Think of someone like Roger Federer 38 years old probably his last chance to win wimbledon gone, so therefore I think it was great Strongman gave its competitors a chance to go for records. Going back to your log I had a thought, maybe you and Luke could get together and attempt the record at your place then have a return fixture 6/8 weeks later would WUS make that happen? Maybe bring the American over too?

We will just end up with records being set too high and never getting replicated in true contest format....which is proven....to be much much harder

See You Next Tuesday Member 2254, 3824 posts SQ 240, BP 165, DL 300 705.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq	I guess we will just have to wait and see if you lift it at the WUS feats of strength. If you fail the lift like Luke then maybe these 'gym lifts' aren't as easy as you make out Most competitions have their max log or deadlift at the start of a competition anyway, so it's not like competitors have been expected to do a whole show before they go for a world record attempt anyway. The only thing that hindered you from an outsider's point of view at europes was the fact it was outside in poor weather conditions

I personally don't think lifting in competition is harder at all. In fact thing its easier with the adrenaline and everything else going on. Far harder to get psyched up alone in your gym. But just my opinion.

For any event other than overhead I do have to agree here lol

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22361 posts	Agree. I cocked up overhead events way more than anything else when competing. Good to see you posting on here Graham

I've thought this for a while now, but don't you think tacky has ruined stone runs completely? It's barely even a feat of strength anymore. Just who can move the fastest

You or I wouldn't come close to finishing it with all the tacky in the world. Tacky just changes what it's testing imo.

If you actually believe that you are, to put it politely, rather stupid.
