Thor is well suited to WSM events and if his static strength keeps improving, he will be near impossible to beat in the coming years, imo of course. Very tough final to pick a top 3, never mind a winner. | ||

Member 4760, 203 posts | I'd bet Z or Shaw for the win. That's really going out on a limb isn't it? Z will likely take pressing medley, squat and keg toss. Shaw is quicker, but still just a hair off Z for static power it would appear. The only time I can recall Brian beating Z on a power event was the deadlift at WSM last year, and that wasn't repeated at the Arnold's. I know someone posted that Z couldn't complete the last weight in the deadlift qualifier this year, but I'd bet that was Z holding back. I agree with whoever said that squat will likely work against Shaw as there willlikely be some guys that will come between him and Z whereas that wouldn't likely happen on a deadlift event. | ||

Member 4115, 1247 posts SQ 195, BP 140, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 82.5kgs UnEq | Loading race - Shaw/Thor/Terry/Z/Burke Overhead medley - Z/Ed/Burke/Shaw Keg toss - Z/Shaw/Thor/Burke Truck pull - Terry/Thor/Ed/Z/Shaw Squat for reps - Z/Ed/Loz/Shaw Stones - Shaw/Thor/Terry/Burke/Z So reckon Z will win overall. Will be awesome to see Ed right up there in Oh and Squats though and a ncie Terry win in the truck pull as always. | ||

Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16708 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | Wayne_Cowdrey said: Although, if Hixxy had got a place because of it we wouldn't be moaning True story! But when you look at it, it really makes no sense. It'd actually be fairer to put the third place finishers in a hat and picking two than going on the points. Or just not have any more than the top two go through which would be my choice. | ||

Feel a little harsh saying it, but barring injuries, I'd be suprised if brant avoided the wooden spoon. | ||

Mr.Potato deadlift Member 2675, 5117 posts SQ 300, BP 202.5, DL 305807.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Its really motivating to see how well hixxy did. It's nice to see someone of more 'normal' size and weight get to the top through hard work rather than being a 6'6 monster. I'm not taking anything away from the big guys but nice to see someone smaller do well lol | ||
