 An amazing human being Member 2047, 17156 posts SQ 262.5, BP 170, DL 300732.5 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | Wow the medley is "quite light" (realitvely speaking) so it will be a speed event! That changes things a bit! Any of shaw/ z/ tel/ thor/ burke/ loz could win this! I predict the winner will be settled on the stones!  | ||

 tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | terryhollands said: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. wtf that overhead medley sounds s**t | ||

What a load of horse s**t ! If he's the best presser he'll win the f**ker ! If he's s**t at Dumbell then he should of practised more . It's good to mix it up Terry was absolute crap at Dumbell, So the guy has been specifically training he life out of it for months !! I personally want to see a new champ ! Z and Shaw are great but I'd like a new champ ! And above all else I wanna see at least one Brit on that podium ! N | ||

not stating facts. Member 3100, 502 posts | it's more about speed than pressing strength though.. it should be 163 for reps or like last year where the medley was heavier.. | ||

Well yeah, I can't argue with that actually ! It is a touch light ! I thought your beef was with the Dumbell !! After all the heats and other events it will probably feel quite heavy . | ||

not stating facts. Member 3100, 502 posts | yeah i don't have a beef with the dumbell.. i just think it should be like last year where the dumbells were 110 and 120 and the bars were 170 and 180.. Z should still win because he will be extremely fast with the clean on 163 as its super light for him but it'll be close.. | ||

An amazing human being Member 2047, 17156 posts SQ 262.5, BP 170, DL 300732.5 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | With 163 on bar I assume a good few will just powerclean press/ one motion job (like radz did at europe's!)! Does seem a little odd considering it was 166k axle for reps in heats last year! Anyhoo at the end of the day, whatever the events the strongest athlete will win! As Cleggster says if he ain't the strongest athlete then he won't win! Would be awesome to have 2 brits podium! USA, Finland, Lithuania, and Poland have all had 2 podium finishers, about time we did! | ||

 vegetarian with a big deadlift - who would have thought... Member 340, 13300 posts SQ 315, BP 190, DL 350855.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq | DL1987 said: I can c a Brit finishing top 3 in all of the events barring any slip ups or mistakes during the events Ed will finish top 3 in overhead, keg and squat Terry truck pull, loading and stones Loz squat Do you know if Ed has made big improvements in the Keg Toss? It isn't historically a good event for him is it? Hopefully you are right. Just to echo most of the other comments... gutted for Hixxy but he is getting closer, and best of luck to the Brits in the final. | ||

Will this affect him mentally? Wouldn't have thought so, last year was completely different. they were all ill and very dehydrated so risk of injury was a lot higher! | ||
