Red Bull is banned in netball Member 799, 1484 posts	I enjoyed it loads, as did the Wife and family! It was too short though, an hour and a half shw would have been better, but overall the whole series was better and much more exciting than recent years. Bigger and better things from Strongman in the future as more people are getting to see a quality product. I think there could be an even stronger British contingent next year, and that would make awesome viewing. Mike Jenkins was impressive and will be very dangerous in the future. Brian is just immense! Wow!

If Z had dead lifted in the heats would he still have got that 440, and if Brian and Terry hadn't dead lifted in the heats would they have got it? (Just generating discussion.)

I know what you mean about some of the U90 guys who can still load a stone at nearly double bodyweight at the end of a tough day. To be fair to the guys doing 200kg at the end of a run i think the size of the stone is prbably more of a problem than the actual weight of it.

a large fingered spastic that demolishes plant Member 89, 31706 posts SQ 260, BP 220, DL 290 770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq	Waited until today to do my 2011 WSM marathon and I must admit I really enjoyed it. With the heart rate monitors and a little more detail about our English athletes. Couple of things that I would of included but overall very enjoyable Liked the giant barbell squat and all the pressing events plus the WR in strongman on the DL

Man up and have a fuckin coffee Member 2086, 9717 posts SQ 340, BP 252.5, DL 300 892.5 kgs @ 158kgs UnEq	what a great year for strongman,i had to watch it all again..........magnificent display from Shaw, and incredible log from Z, podium for Tel in that field was astonishing and Loz is soooo close and his frame walk was legendary !

horton hears a who Member 2582, 300 posts SQ 185, BP 110, DL 230 525.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq	well I dont know about everybody else, but what on earth are we going to do in the evenings now? isnt it all going to seem a little flat. we have been spoiled for a number of weeks of quality strongman on tv. the U.K.'s , masters wsm, wsm qualifiers and the big one itself. we will all suffer withdrawal symptoms by tonight. we should start a self help group

Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220 510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	WSM was awesome this year. Much better coverage than previous few years. Loved it, but would have liked a couple more events in a 2 hour final show. It seemed strange seeing no fingals or stairs in the whole seried, but the events were solid. Standouts for me were: Lalas' performance in his heat, don't remember him from previous years so he was a bit of a surprise; Loz throughout the comp; Terrys final performance-shame he tore his hand on the first event; Jenkins was amazing, uninjured he looks dangerous; but probably most impressive and exciting for us Brits was Jack Macks performance-s**t hot in a really tough heat! He got 3 blocks pressed and was last! In most heats that would have been top 3. Deadlift hold was amazing. I was proudly wearing one of my UCC t-shirts whilst watching. Well done to all the Brits, I remember the time when you didn't really expect our lads to get to the final, or if they did they came in the last few places, not any more! Also, Felix was really good, shame he didn't quite qualify.

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 5065 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 290 690.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq	BigKen said: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. It would have been easier just to have taken the axle from the squat stand, and used that for the deadlifts surely?
