Member 4923, 1795 posts | what about the injury implications? athlete welfare is an area in strongman that has been overlooked for far too long. | ||

The athletes are incredibly well looked after I'd say; this is, as Ursus said, time for the best of the best to rise to the top and prove who is the strongest of all time (Big Z) | ||

Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | terryhollands said:Being totally honest its not my idea of strongman but as a stand alone comp why not. I actually like the yoke idea but wish it was 8-10m. Reason its not my cup of tea is 4 events, 2 being overhead is excessive and I personally think itll be boring to watch but I guess everyone has different opinions on what is the best way to test someones strength. Im Im just wondering what will happen when lalas locks a deadlift out and the tyres are still on the floor 5 events this time | ||

Exactly what I was thinking. Sat in the audience for half a day it would probably be boring as hell, but condensed into a 30-minute highlight reel then it could/would be spectacular. | ||

I have a feeling that this year, 30 minutes might be pushing it: "And the winner, with 1 rep, is Zydrunas Savickas." | ||

Member 2252, 256 posts SQ 210, BP 140, DL 250600.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Should be interesting... but surely Z can win this and be the only athlete that actually does any reps? 200 log for reps?!? | ||

Member 4115, 1247 posts SQ 195, BP 140, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 82.5kgs UnEq | Very nice heavy events! I reckon heavy events like this are good alongside lighter events like WSM... Looking forward to seeing Z and Shaw struggle with some ridiculous yokes. Gonna be streamed online? | ||

Member 4923, 1795 posts | my favourite format is the dead/log/whatever for max weight. I think its much more entertaining than a reps competition. How about dumbell for max?? or 5 metre yoke for max?? you know it makes sense | ||
