Unlucky for that mike guy having to pull out after two awesome displays
He was out for about a month but he's been training like a mad man for the Arnold.

Really enjoyed Big Z's performance on the 155kg Log, in that event he showed he was in a league of his own. He finished with 10reps but wouldve been good for a couple more if the whistle didnt go! Cool

Saveetskas I believe Rick. From the man himself.

Enjoyed the final tonight, but I was a little disappointed that they didn't give it a longer TV slot, I would have liked to have seen every athlete do every event, rather than just the highlights.

Also I remember it said on Twitter when the final took place, that it was a 160 kg log, and a 442.5 kg winning deadlift Confused or is that just an error due to converting lb's to kg's ?

Log was 155kg, I weighed them myself.

Deadlift 343kg starter, Z won with 443kg.

although the height was the same did the big old bells make any difference to the way the deadlift went up ?

It was a 35mm 14ft bar, I pulled it in the yard without the block from 15" and if anything it felt harder than on a convo bar.

Lol my username does that Jay Wink

6 events doesn't really give you a chance to recover from one bad event. Maybe that's a good thing? Maybe not? Discuss...

I enjoyed the event, but from a viewer's point of view I thought the frame carry and the yoke were too similar (I know they're not!!) Also thought having the hand-ripping event first was a bit silly, and the truck pull was too hard to be a proper spectacle. As I say, enjoyed it, just my constructive criticism.
