Member 766, 113 posts | terryhollands said: with regards to the frame, derek is 6ft 1 you really think it makes that much difference in angle being 4 inches taller like i am?? Derek was quoted commenting on the distance between the handles on the timed hold. It's more of a wingspan issue and the taller guys will tend to have a wider wingspan. Perhaps Derek was just have a whinge as 4" doesn't sound much but if you set up farmer 2" per side wider than optimum it just feels wrong. Throw in 375kg and 40m of a grip intensive event and feeling 'wrong' all the way, it's possible to see the point. Anyway, more to the point, fantastic result. I know you focused this year on WSM and done less comps - sound move. Can't wait to see it on the box. | ||

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | World's strongest man is about the biggest, strongest, freakiest guys, period. The lower weight classes and other competitions can cater to the shorter guys. Worlds strongest man should fit the picture. Pudz had to deal with some high platforms, he managed just fine. Z has been nailing high platforms for years. I don't think its an issue tbh. If its in a weight class where the average height is lower then yes, lower the platforms and height based events. But for the ultimate no holds barred strongman contest, why would you hold back or try and help certain athletes along? Its like saying the longer limbed guys have to press till 80% of lockout, or handle less weight, or as someone said, Usain Bolt has to run differently because he is taller. | ||

Can't wait to see it on the box. i was worried about the with of the frame but i did ok, sure some events suit the tall guys, maybe we will get a squat in the final next year. This is strongman and the strongest man won. the rest of us just need to get better. It was an honor doing battle with these men and has motorvated me to do more. One thing is for sure, i cant wait to watch at Xmas :-) | ||

![]() Commentators say: he benches like a bodybuilder Member 231, 1873 posts SQ 400, BP 275, DL 3651040.0 kgs @ 135.7kgs Eq | Man really enjoyed that video, how the he'll can you do ten reps with 160k log and 442k deadlift and not be the tallest guy on podium, just crazy high Standard. Last year a lot of the guys only hit first two weights on log now guys banging out reps like nothing, sport evolves like no other. Tbh though thought the big tires where not as good looking as fridges or motor bikes | ||

Here is hopeing BSM is back in 2012 (and if so, its somewhere we can get a big crowd in watching these guys...) | ||
