6 events. It used to be 7 now 6
I think it'll be similar to that. My guess is
Max dead
Overhead medley
Frame
Yoke
Truck pull
Stones
Similar events to my 3rd in 2011 Happy
Also ill just add, don't just judge me on Saturdays 3rd, I under performed on Deadlift due to an injury and was suffering with cramps which I often do in one day shows, this is why wsm always suits me better


Thats a f**king awesome set of events for the final....most of my faves in there

Of the british boys outside loz and tel, felix looks in great shape to make the final. If there lots of moving/loading he'll have a great shot

Hixx will be there or thereabouts for the final too

nothing serious I hope?


I hurt my hip on yoke which then messed up my si joint. When deadlifting because my hip wasn't functioning properly it overloaded the other side of my back. In short itll be fine for wsm.

Pritchett could be the dark horse. Big deadlift and good at moving events

It's a f**king tough comp. Every year seems get more competitive. Making the final is an achievement in itself.

It's far too hard to predict now. I think the majority of my finalist predictions could fail to even qualify with a bit of bad luck which says a lot.

I REALLY want Tel to get his deserved win though now. Seems to suffer from bad luck too often.

Big time. Been so consistent over years at wsm. At very least hope he gets an injury free attempt at it.

Overhead medley doesn't necessarily find the strongest presser. I'd rather see that sort of event in the heats personally.

Reckon they'd ever bring WSM to England?! Headingley capacity crowd 2 years running, growing fan base, more Brits than ever to challenge for the podium?

If it's light like europe's last year then I agree, but if it's like fortissimus it could be awesome.

Wsm dont want crowds and they cant guarantee the weather.

Gotta be honest I disagree we have more than can challenge for podium. Many a great strongman has not got close, its not as easy as people seem to think

Cannot see past Shaw, Savickas and Lalas for top 3. They have dominated the circuit this year. Also probably in that order.
