He looks about 16 there though and I bet he's still 115-120kg


That's him playing college basketball and he was class of 2004, so he's between 19-22. Probably closer to 22.

With hixxys progress it would take a fool to bet against him making next years final. He actually reminds me of pudz, hard work ethic and bit smaller than the giants. Him and Ed have a bright future, also if Ben Kelsey puts on a bit of size and adds more static strength he will also feature as he is a great athlete.

And by all accounts, Chris Gearing will be throwing some weight about in the comps this year ! Look forward to his return.

Some great potential from Britain now. What ever happened James fennelly, he's also a unit. Is he injured?

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.

Brant will come top 3 in the squat. Predictions like this are silly as the bottom guys all have good events.

Terry truck pull, loading and stones
Loz squat

I'd agree with that for the most part but I'd switch Z and Ed on the overhead medley and squat. For now


Ed strict pressed 200kg the other week... easily too

I think he is at least on par with Z on overhead stuff now!

bold claim Sam but you might not be far off. Ed is a freak at pressing Happy

Dont think he could do 4 reps of 200 like Z

not stating facts.

I think ed will try and strict press the 4 implements though.. It would be extremely hard to strict a 110 and a 125 dumbell and then strict those awful 170 and 180 fixed bars..

He might be up there strength wise but we are yet to see Ed's speed in a WSM overhead medley.
Would be amazing to see me wrong, but I think he will be slower than Z

Edd is still 20 kilos overhead behind Z . Why everyone says he's up there with him . Lalas and Radz are as good if not better pressers than him . Still noone of them has ever beaten Z . Many people talked the same for Radz some years ago .
Plus Z will be much faster .

for once, your talking in facts.

Even Ed would admit hes not as statically strong as Z yet, hes cocky but not thick by any means.

I like Eddie too , but we have to be objective .
The only one who will come close to Z overhead medley is Shaw , Burke behind them .

Few things to think about. Loading is not heavy its 3 big tyres and on sand which changes things, the press is 2 reps of a 110 db and 2 reps of a 163 axle so im thinking even I could win that, keg toss is a lottery event if guys are tight from loading you could get upsets, the truck is gonna be f**king heavy we then have squat after which could affect results.

Shaw will surprise people with his squat he wont place as badly or even close as people think.
