Cut toe in half = bad day. Member 4359, 3581 posts SQ 270, BP 140, DL 310720.0 kgs @ 137kgs UnEq | 93hopkinsonr said: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 how is he normal lol Hes 5 10 wide and 130+kg I want to know what you see as normal rob | ||

He could lift weights most cant after a life time of training without doing any haha dudes a freak with just as much potential as any of the 6'6 monsters. | ||

Big fish in a small pond Member 1150, 2101 posts | Hixxy was strong when he started but he did bodybuilding style stuff before, look back at his first videos, he's improved loads through hard work. He didn't just get gifted being strong. People seem to forget caron is pretty strong he won't be coming last | ||

People seem to forget caron is pretty strong he won't be coming last Oh so when he said 250k dead etc (or whatever his lift were) in the starting lifts thread he already been doing other stuff? I took that as when he started. Wasn't saying he's not worked bloody hard. | ||

I know he's a unit now at 130kg but I bet he wouldn't be more than 100kg if he didn't train, where as someone like shaw probably would be like 150kg naturally without training due to his stature. It's not an insult it's a compliment for all you hixxy fans getting upset | ||

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | Like others have said I think Shaw's chances depend on his squatting ability. Unless it's s**t hot then you would expect Z, Loz and Eddie at least to beat him, potentially more. And I do get the point about Hixxy. Yeah he is crazy crazy strong, but I remember when he was just some dude who might give Traps a run for his money at 105s in the Yoke. Posting vids of Yoke runs in someone's garden. It's a long way from that to being a few points away from a WSM final..... | ||
