Big fan of TWI Member 761, 425 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 260645.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 21.04.2010 @ 20:08 PM by stainless If it turns out to be a block (whatever the hell that is)then i predict that the guy that has been practising with it will win the press.deadlift-Lewis squat-Lewis grip-stuart medley -goose stones-goose if it was max squat and deads then both stuarts would be in with a shout but at 47 and 49 years old,no disrespect meant but the lungs will give out on reps before their strength does. Ewan Cameron,if he was in the shape he was in 2 years ago could've done serious damage but i think his knee may hold him back too much. Lewis is in the shape of his life,and if goose is still carrying an injury then this is his year. I see it as Lewis Goose Stevie stuart murray Ewan | ||

Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | I don't know, I watched Cherry do a 120 log so upright it was really a military press at the weekend, and it was scary! I just can't see anyone out pressing him And Bell was doing reps with a heavy dead a few weeks back, and after something like 10 reps(adding weight each time) he didn't even miss a breath! I think walking to the equipment makes him huff and puff more than the lifting | ||

Not in Loz's top 10 uk strongmen Member 144, 4421 posts SQ 320, BP 165, DL 350835.0 kgs @ 123kgs Eq | Biggest thing for Stu Bell will be grip, he has the tools to get some good high placings but will lose too many points on grip. Definitley Lewis, Goose, Stevie top 3 IMO, and I'd love for Stevie to get the first!! | ||

Member 870, 552 posts | i would have to agree with Louis Goose Cherrie top 3 hard to say which order.Goose usually turns it on for the final,Cherrie is an absolute mountain at the moment if he can keep his cool he can do well.he would be the first to admit his weakness in deadlifting but his squat has improved a great deal since i last competed with him i was with him training squats last week.with the events this year Stu Bell will defo be mixing things up.Not to forget the Legend Stuart Murray he is still possible of serious damage even at the ripe old age of 47.And i also would like to see Frank put on a good show to prove that the s**ty qualifing rules suck.all the best to everyone competing.lets hope the events are as good next year i wont be missing it (well hopefully} | ||

Member 825, 290 posts SQ 270, BP 185, DL 297.5752.5 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq | BigKen said:Stuart Murray could place very well in all events; press, squat, dead and grip are all good for him; I'd expect mid to high placings in the medley and stones as well. I'm not too sure if Goose can win it this year, comp is very static this year and statically he isn't the best in Scotland. Plus without knowing the extent of his calf injury at the qualifier and how well it has healed. As you said though Goose always turns it on for the home crowd. I think Stevie Cherry has a good chance of winning it tbh, aslong as he hits the groove on squat and deadlift it should be good for him. goose is scotland strongestman has been for 3 years and scotlands strongman is not about finding the most statically strongest person its about all round strongman. no 1 as ever came closet to beating goose in three years and also made the final of britins strongestman. ken havent won any thing that has been reconised in strongman. i predict a 1 2 for the fort williams boys. am sick of hearing what people going to do and never seem to do it from louis maclean | ||

Sorry that was a joke, honest, best of luck to who wins it hopefully next year the field can be stronger with myself lee and ken and let's not forget guys like sneds, neil and so on and some strong new guys ken you have plenty of big comps to ripp apart this year so no big deal you will do a decade of ssm before you hang up your belt look at Stuart Murray my money is on lewis goose cherry podium but in what order? And since I am here I'll stick my event predictions up with the guy who finished top at the qualifier and won the squat, dead, and has not been beaten in pressing ever at ssm out it will be more difficult but press - frank squat - Stuart Murray dead - lewis grip - Stuart Murray medley - goose stones - goose well andy its a shame u cant be here this year because ur alwas up for it and ur alwas a threat but i have to say u wouid know al about paper cups because u cant stop telling the papers ur scotlands strongestman. u.v never won the scottish but u'l alwas be a winner in the sun news paper. | ||

Paper champ was a joke nothing worse than second hand information and as I said before best of luck to everyone it's always a great comp gutted I can't compete just wish people who pass on information would keep it in context so as not to offend others the Internet is a funny thing | ||
