I personally think it looked to tough for that to happen and if he failed the 400 he would be in the same position as last year. Let's not forget 400 was only good for 6th on the Deadlift last year and by the time we got o that point we were far from fresh that makes ur pull in the finals all the more impressive terry, what do u think u cud have pulled if max dl was first event in the heats?

really really interesting Member 3474, 2816 posts SQ 170, BP 120, DL 260 550.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 08.06.2012 @ 10:16 AM by fong He's still so young, whether it be this year or 10 years later, he'll definitely be a strong contender. He's literally got 10-15 years to reach his peak.

I honestly felt I was strong enough to do 450. I was certainly stronger than I was a couple of weeks ago at the Brits and I lifted more there than at wsm. I was hitting easy doubles with 420 before wsm which I know I couldn't at the moment

While he might not have everything he needs for a win, he'll probably continue to make finals each year and can only get stronger and stronger, permitting he progresses at a similar rate to the rest of the athletes.

He definitely has the capability to win in the future No I don't think so. I totally agree, to be up there at wsm you need more than 400kg Heres a question as a lot are saying Jenkins will win wsm, do you think he could have won bsm using his max Deadlift of 370 as a guideline?

I don't think BSM was a good comp Jenkins would have won the Log, the Yoke and the Frame and Loz would have won the show make it the full 6 events, and Jenkins would have won though(I expect, I'd have to properly work out the points )

technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335 850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	Re what Terry alluded to about Thors pull...I was going to say the same in the DL video thread. Pulling 400 in an actual deadlift session, is a lot different to pulling it 3rd event, after you've already done a days competition a day or 2 earlier terryhollands said: Heres a question as a lot are saying Jenkins will win wsm, do you think he could have won bsm using his max Deadlift of 370 as a guideline? As a 6 event comp...yes As a 4 event comp....no You cant afford to have a bad event and win in a 4 event comp IMO

He is capable of it but not a definite.

Yeah, it would be close, and I expect it would have been very close between you and Loz on the yoke had you not made the mistake at the start I wonder if Jenkins best is still 370?

I would guess he must be good for a bit more now. If not now by wsm I'd expect him to be doing closer to 400

If not now by wsm I'd expect him to be doing closer to 400 you would think so, and if WSM is 8 events like you want this year, I would suggest Jenkins will be pretty much unbeatable? (only one bad event, and not losing THAT many points on it, hell if there is even a max pull, reps might suit him ok) as I think he will beat bigz on OH now, and there will probably be 2 OHs if there are 8 events
