i am a huge big Z fan as i keep telling everyone and i honestly see shaw as his big threat normally, but i am gonna be honest with you i can see thor winning 4 of the 6 events and he can hold his own in pressing
stones
loading
keg toss
truck pull
i would be suprised if he drops anymore than 2 points over these 4 events
serious dark horse for title
and please dont rule out mike burk he sqatted well in the heats and he is the most under rated presser in that final
i think he could defo get a podium place if things go well

i have never been so unsure of the top 3 in a long time
ps well donr to the brits best of luck to the 3 of you

I agree with everything u said. Thor is well suited to WSM events and if his static strength keeps improving, he will be near impossible to beat in the coming years, imo of course. Very tough final to pick a top 3, never mind a winner.

I'd bet Z or Shaw for the win. That's really going out on a limb isn't it?

Z will likely take pressing medley, squat and keg toss. Shaw is quicker, but still just a hair off Z for static power it would appear. The only time I can recall Brian beating Z on a power event was the deadlift at WSM last year, and that wasn't repeated at the Arnold's. I know someone posted that Z couldn't complete the last weight in the deadlift qualifier this year, but I'd bet that was Z holding back.

I agree with whoever said that squat will likely work against Shaw as there willlikely be some guys that will come between him and Z whereas that wouldn't likely happen on a deadlift event.

The 'top losers' rule is crap. Brant is solid but there are much better athletes out there. He's going to get crushed in the final.


It's bo***cks. I don't know what they are thinking.

Although, if Hixxy had got a place because of it we wouldn't be moaning Grin

Maybe they should have compared the top losers times/reps etc and put the top guys through...

Keg toss - Z/Shaw/Thor/Burke
Truck pull - Terry/Thor/Ed/Z/Shaw
Squat for reps - Z/Ed/Loz/Shaw

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.

True story! Grin

But when you look at it, it really makes no sense. It'd actually be fairer to put the third place finishers in a hat and picking two than going on the points. Or just not have any more than the top two go through which would be my choice.

I agree. Feel a little harsh saying it, but barring injuries, I'd be suprised if brant avoided the wooden spoon.

Its really motivating to see how well hixxy did. It's nice to see someone of more 'normal' size and weight get to the top through hard work rather than being a 6'6 monster. I'm not taking anything away from the big guys but nice to see someone smaller do well lol

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