 Kettlebells RULE !!! Member 3699, 407 posts | martinb said: When did he last win it? I see your point but he appears to still be statically the strongest from other comps so surely it is still beneficial to him as oppose to anyone else? I imagine the argument about the impact it has on prep for other comps, injury risk, age and money are more the point than simply whether he reckons he can win it. | ||

 Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | JamesH said:I have to say that since changing to last year's format, my interest in the Arnold's has dropped. The old format was static, but at least had some variety in the stones and yoke. The Classic Apollon's axle had, to me, become something of a trademark event - why they binned it I have no idea. And axle clean? What a f**king horrible event to watch. Seeing guys 'row' 177 or 197kg up themselves is not fun. It looks unathletic, painful and, frankly, crap. I feel pretty much exactly the same as this. I used to look forward to the arnolds as much as wsm. didnt even bother watching last years. | ||

It's a f**king s**t comp to watch i think for format is good for a stage show, like it is for the people there. terrible compared to tv quality shows like wsm etc. | ||

Those events look ok to me Though it will inevitably be too heavy and there will be more failing than lifting | ||

 the UK's leading expert in bio mechanics Member 1973, 7379 posts | I can't help feeling the Arnolds is losing it's way a little. I think there is space for a different kind of international show / series to SCL, WSM and Giants, but I don't think it's the Arnolds any more if it continues in this vein. Bring back Fortissimus. | ||

Wish Z was in it, I would love to see him go head to head with Benni on the deadlift. Dont forget Shaw and Z have both beaten Benni on the same Hummer deadlift setup and Felix got close too . Hopefully someone will pull a new world record and go over 510kg maybe ? | ||
