I was there and I saw it. No body enjoys watching him lift more than me. Right from the first time I saw him at uk's I've been a massive fan. I'm not disputing his talent.
Like I say I might be wrong, but the impression I get was that he had no intention of competing. You have your opinion that he wouldn't do that, I personally believe he would if asked by Colin to help pump up the sales

Even a half peaked eddie would walk the comp!
The desire would have been to do it for his fans.
Loads of people went to see eddie compete and he was genuinely really upset and apologised to the crowd a few times for letting them down.
His fans mean a lot to him so he would have wanted to put on a good show for them


half peaked Grin wtf
u are killing me

u saw in the interview what costs him Europes and Worlds shape.. will he do this again, i dont think so

He wouldnt have needed to be anywhere near worlds shape to win that comp, statically best in the world so hed have walked the log and dl, the stones he would have been top 3 and the moving events 4th ish imo in his present state. That would have won him the comp easy.

He would have wanted to do it for his home crowd, especially after the wsm win.

Can we take a minute to appreciate Nick Bests fast feet at 48. I never saw that coming.

Why would he try the log then? If he had no intentions surely he wouldnt have bothered and just said his piece before they started?

I dont believe it for a second, eddies dedicated and would definitely have wanted to have a go for his fans and do his best. It wasnt meant to be because he was ill, he is only human

I did, hes great at yoke, saw him at wsm masters last year and he was ace. Hes the only one to do a proper warm up if you watch, i think that really helps.. Youre never your best on the first run

To make it look more convincing? So people say oh look he tried.
Like I say he did the exact same thing last December, think he blamed a calf injury. A few days later he was in the gym again

TBH I was surprised he attempted the log. I thought he was only going for the Deadlift record. Shame he had to pull out though.

Well didn't he go home before the meet and greet thing just like last year at leeds?.. where he injured his calve but two days later was pulling 420 x 3 sets of 3... Neither did he apologise or explain on social media for pulling out of either competition, which doesnt really show his respect for his fans (away from the stadium either). He's posted no training vids, just old ones and has claimed 150 for a 'lot' of reps, but wouldn't post anything even though he's notorious for filming his progress and impressive lifts. Recall him claiming to have broken his foot during Giants live in 2015 in a competition with Bergmann, even though he wouldnt let the doctors look at it and continued unhindered. So he can put on drama when it suits him. He's planning something bigger clearly, but I think it explains why they had the log lift before the 'Deadlift world championships' too, an event that until now has always allowed the athletes to show their true deadlift strength fresh at the start of the comp. Isn't he one of the organisers?

Was any official reason given why the dead lift wasn't first?

Yea I understand that. And honestly I'd probably do the same. Doesn't make it right though

I wouldn't. It would be immoral.
