 Commentators say: he benches like a bodybuilder Member 231, 1873 posts SQ 400, BP 275, DL 3651040.0 kgs @ 135.7kgs Eq | davycummings said: Yeah, I think its cool, its something new for me to try and I do think they will look better. I am in favour, just was interested to know how different they might be. What do they weight empty? They look heavy they are 66kg empty and the bar is arround 18 inch from floor and they are perfectly ballanced | ||

Big fan of TWI Member 761, 425 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 260645.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | My predictions- Ken and Stevie each win 3 events, each takes 2nd on the ones they don't win,they are joint on points and places on countback. They are either both exhausted and agree to share the trophy or they agree on a final 7th event to decide. Who'll give me odds? 7-1. | ||

I would agree, but Davy is going to win the truck pull and throw a spanner in the works | ||

He is an awesome squatter, but didn't really treat it as a machine in the qual, squatted straight up and down, rather than getting his feet way out in front like you should | ||

Still, offer him 6th before it, he'd have bitten your hand off for it | ||

he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Ok, just over a week to go, who is gonna win? Anyone fancy taking a stab at placings? I thought Ken was looking very good when I saw him at Europes, and Cherrie looked a bit off his best in both the quals i have been at, so i thought Ken might have it all his own way. After last weekend it Seems Stevie is peaking at the right time, so this could be a fantastic battle. Will be great to be part of it. Hoping for a good showing from our Shetland team Lets get a discussion going | ||
