He's on a par with what Z was when he wasn't as injured, but Shaw, as far as I can recall, hasn;t out-squatted or out-pressed Z yet... 2 huge strongman disciplines... Until then... Who is stronger on stones? On lorry? Yoke? Frame carry? Deadlift? Throw for height. | ||

When was the last time there was a max squat in a comp? I don't recall seeing it recently? Only for reps. | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts | Ed is stronger than Z on everything but overhead, static ways. No doubt he will take that record too. | ||

 Member 3241, 2043 posts SQ 1, BP 192, DL 255448.0 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq | For me, you're comparing Stilton with Lancashire Crumbly... Shaw, currently & IMO, is in his prime and will get better for another year or so, others are catching up, but not quite there Z, IMO, is passed his prime and so Shaw is taking over... Shaw couldn't beat Z in his prime; he kept up with him, but didn't beat him... Don't forget Z held records on the stones, on the carry, on the yoke as well as log, fingles fingers etc... All that's changing, again and as it should No, the only thing we could probably bank on Z winning would be the log, but even then, with recently clips being shown, Shaw looks very good on the log! But he's still not up there with Z | ||

 It's a moonface era now.

Come on bro Z at 41 beat last year version of Shaw at ASM, probably the strongest Shaw ever. I dont think Zs version of 2014 is beatable by any Shaw. Plus he broke the Log record twice that year. These days top guys prepare months for big log, Z was constantly on that level. People forget how statically dominant he was. Plus Shaw competes at incredible bodyweight and still sucks at pressing, this is a huge flaw. Hes just damn good and prepared for the events, but not the more powerfull guy from them both in everyones peak. | ||

Avatar Member 5517, 1538 posts SQ 160, BP 165, DL 201526.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | I don't really like the heavy slow events, particularly the powerlifting staples. It's much more fun to watch Terry pelt up the field with an odd object than Thor stumble under the weight of a ship mast. While I can understand the incredible year on year 1.5kg increments Z increased the log record by I'd much prefer a lifting medley for time. Variety is the spice of life etc. | ||

 more like 'FAT TROLL' Member 984, 6331 posts SQ 420, BP 260, DL 3351015.0 kgs @ 165kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 11.03.2017 @ 00:17 AM by FAT_SAM I love the look of your comp, Adam. Ed could well dominate that.Also I agree, I would pick a 2016 Shaw to compete for me over 2014 Z if my life depended on it. | ||
