Hix works hard as do they all but he's anything but normal. 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.

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

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.

Haha I didn't mean normal guy he's obviously mongstrong, I meant he wasn't born and built like someone like Brian shaw so it shows you guys who are more 'normal sizing' can become freaks. 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

Shaw would not be 150kgs if he didn't train unless he was an American lard ass. He wasn't 150 when he first hit the world stage (I think)

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.....
