He's Mark Clegg esque on the carries ![]() Misha was only ever a part time strongman though. If he gave up his dreams of weightlifting and threw himself into it then he may come close. That being said, I agree with the point already made that it looks like you need to be 6' 5" plus and over 170k to be in with a shout of being at the top. Somebody said last year that Shaw is the evolution of strongman, now with the likes of Jenkins and Thor that looks all the more true. Would be interested to hear peoples views on if that is the way they want to see the sport evolve? | ||

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 23.09.2011 @ 14:19 PM by MrSmall To be fair, the comp in 2009, Pudz got 2nd, Shaw was there, Z was there, Poundstone was there, and the events were reasonably heavy, 155 or 166 fixed axle for reps is hardly lightweight!And 160 farmers which Pudz absolutely stormed. What else was there? I don't remember. Arm over arm. | ||
