Member 2407, 219 posts | Strongman needs a revamp, those events look uninspiring and I always rated the Arnold as the true measuring stick  | ||

 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | Has the Arnold's had its time? I think so. I thought the log being done properly this year was a great idea and bring stones back but no yoke? No frame? Also good luck to Felix! Granted log and db he won't get a rep on either but Deadlift and stones he will get big points | ||

Granted log and db he won't get a rep on either but Deadlift and stones he will get big points Exactly, they made some events their own and got a following but dont seem aware of that. Is it a lack of general public interest or financing? I remember reading the prize money had dropped? | ||

Member 3486, 246 posts SQ 230, BP 160, DL 250640.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Im a bit gutted aswell started gettin into watching strongman about three years ago and always looked forward to the arnold...not this year. Somebodys gona have to get the bullet for organising this s**t. Still enough of being a morbid bas***d it'll probly be really good. Who's gona win it then, Lalas or poundstone for me | ||

I remember reading the prize money had dropped? I really dunno. The crowd watching it is always big. I know some will disagree but I think they've just gone too far from the original format and made it maybe too heavy. Saying that for me if they put the f**king heavy yoke in and put the frame back in it'd be a great comp. I think having top guys injured is not helping | ||

 he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | 4 events is bad enough, but for 2 of them to be OH events in a 4 event comp is crazy. Also, why is there no moving event? Compared to the WSM final we all enjoyed so much it sounds like a complete let down | ||
