 ‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3232 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | First to 400kg - be someone like don reinhoudt or Jon kuc in mid 70s - what is interesting is that it stuck around that for ages. Sure it was still low 900lbs early 2000s | ||

Average hamstring at best Member 4663, 588 posts | He'll probably be remembered in Britain as is Geoff Capes. I agree though he's not set the records high enough, he says he had 530 deadlift in him,he probably should have done it, and I think 230 log would be broke within 5 years, 250 though would be unbelievable!! I love watching Eddie lift and he's been my favourite for a fair few years now but he hasn't been at the top long enough or won enough to set a lasting legacy. I'd personally like to see him do another 2 years of full competition including Arnold's | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 15.03.2018 @ 17:01 PM by Mikeneto He will be like Pudz, the one casual fans mention. Among strongman fans they will always look to the Arnold's as well. Shaw, Thor and Z can do 700kg yoke, 900lbs frame carry, 300lbs+ dumbbells, 250kg stone. Plus they have/will have WSM titles under their belts with the big gym lifts to go with it.Relying on numbers alone for a legacy is dangerous....compare what Kaz lifted in deadlift and log to national level strongmen. The higher the numbers go in the log the more strongmen will use jerks. The pressing records are basically minimal leg drive. | ||

How often is a world recorded exceeded by 7% to set a new world record. Not very, I reckon. It's like someone coming along and beating Usain Bolt 9.58 with an 8.91 100m. It's a massive, massive leap. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 15.03.2018 @ 17:28 PM by Mikeneto When Janashia and Licis are about 24 and lifting 440kg already it isn't that safe.Iron biby will press a lot in the coming years as well. | ||

You're not wrong, and at that time it was an unbelievable feat. My point is just looking at Thor now he seems to be getting close to it, but if he'd have gone out and put another 20kg on the record I don't think we'd have seen it beaten for a long time | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5207 posts | Eddie is a static king and ruled The British scene for years. He's definitely got a great legacy. He might go out as a single time winner, but he did become an all round monster. Thor and Shaw are giants, yet Eddie can compete with them, like Z used to. I never thought He would pull 500, or win WSM. Proved me wrong twice. Whether I like the guy or not, I respect him immensely. | ||

Mask it or Casket !! Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | Love or hate him Eddie Hall is now a household name synonymous with strength . Not many have achieved that. Maybe only Capes, Jon Pal and Thor. | ||

Not many have achieved that. Maybe only Capes, Jon Pal and Thor. They usually can't pronounce his name properly but most non lifters still remember Pudzianowski as well. Often referred to as "that ripped polish guy"  Also I feel Hixxy is getting left out of this WR log discussion, he's a definite dark horse. He's just cleaned a 230 on insta | ||

He's just cleaned a 230 on insta Hixxy has said himself he wont get a new WR at Europes. And that 230 clean, while impressive, looked crippingly hard. Ed and Z are the only 2 really capable of a 230 press (Biby is awesome, but still a couple of years away from WR level I believe). The bit im curious of is how many will go over 210, which was a WR in recent memory. | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5207 posts | If Z is in top shape he can press it. I would love both guys to press it. Hall doesn't want to share the record, so he will go beyond if necessary. He's obsessed with breaking the record, similar to his obsession with 500. Eddie will definitely press 230, no doubt whatsoever. | ||
