 Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | WILLSAN said:I would put them on a par personally. but even if there is a difference I cant see how allowing soft lockouts would make it significantly safer? if its a dodgy press you are going to get squashed whether the ref is asking you to hold it or not. Yeah, you are probably right I actually wouldn't have given Zs log, I just hate it when I see comps where you have to give the ref the eye before you get the down signal. IMO the moment its locked, feet in line, and controlled, its a good lift, its shouldn't have to be held there for an age | ||

 Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16708 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | I said:I think they have relaxed the rules to allow the world record to keep being broken. reading this back it sounds like im saying its intentional which I dont think it is necassarily. I can see its a difficult one for colin bryce as he is organiser, ref AND commentator. in many ways he IS strongman and its in his interest for world records to fall. I can see how it would be tempting to call it early. as a side point I think bryce is great at what he does but I dont think its ideal for any sport to have only one person in the centre of it all. what happens when he retires? | ||

really really interesting Member 3474, 2816 posts SQ 170, BP 120, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | In all honesty I don't see him retiring anytime soon, and when he does I'm sure the sport will have grown enough to support itself. Doesn't Collin already have Sven Karlsen and a few others on his 'council' as such already? | ||

 Morrisons - rump - 7£ Member 2206, 11578 posts SQ 228, BP 150, DL 260638.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Robbo said: So do I. Afterall, thats always been the rules at all the comps I've done. There's no question in my mind that Z's log was a no lift. Z clearly never met the one and only ref, Jc | ||

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | What are the actual WSM rules re log? If the requirement is only to lock arms then Z got it for sure. His legs and balance were all over the place, but does one have to stand motionless with feet in line? | ||

 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6906 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | dr_hazbun said:What are the actual WSM rules re log?

Does Strongman have any written rules? Is there an international governing body? Is it indeed a real sport or just entertainment? Will it ever be legitimised as a "real" sport? And if so what would it need to do to be so? Standardised equipment? Defined rules? Doping control? Governing bodies? | ||

LeedsMiniPower said:Anybody else feel they should have given jenkins the 220 log, imo it was on par with big z although neither were rock solid. I felt neither should have been given. I was so willing Jenkin's 2nd effort to be locked out though! | ||
