I dont like all this real strongest man stuff , Brian shaw is the worlds Strongest man he won the comp and thats that. maybe big Z is the strongest statically but if you just want static strength then you might as well make it powerlifting , the whole idea of strongman is to test strength power speed grip and not just the big 3.
What a shame for Terry , he always comes across well in his posts on here and is a great ambassador for british strongman . I wish him all the best for whatever he decides to do next year.

Savolainen87 said:Shaw is strong deadlifter and gripper but nos as powerfull as Z , Radz , Jenkis . He is also very technical to advance the lack of shoulder power , very flexible also , but not bruttaly powerfull ...az for powerlifting , Z has none tehnique in the overhead , and the powerlifting has a lot of tehnique ......Z is just monster strong , as was Kazmaier in the past ,way ahead of his time

Savolainen87 said:man , not taking anything away form Shaw , but he weigts 210 kilos , has log 190 kilos , axle 205 kilos with a big jerk , squat under 900 pounds , there are at least 2-3 guys with bigger squat , he is not that strong , bodyweight helps him for carrying just as Thor , but this ain't no strentght at all ... Z is the man , without stones and frame carry no one beats him at the world's ..... he is doing Arnold 2014 and gonna make some records , believe me .....the man has 470 kilos deadlift in him !
