Member 3241, 2043 posts SQ 1, BP 192, DL 255448.0 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq | Thor's flying but so are Z and Shaw... They're deffo gonna be top 3 all the way through and there's no way you can write Z or Shaw off; they're both brilliant at the next events and Z can be a dangerous animal when up he's mad and behind! I think a lot of folk on here are gonna be surprised over the remainig events... Any of the top 3 can take it now, someone else may stumble on an event yet! | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5209 posts | MarkClegg said:OH NO !!!! Big Z not gonna win !! Shock Horror !! They should change the rules ! How about having 200kg log for reps as every event ?? Or maybe Just run a powerlifting comp for him and give him the WSM trophy ??! Or maybe Big Z gets double points for his wins ??! Or maybe Big Z can pick all the events ??! Obviously Big Zs the strongest - He should WIN every time ! Big Z doesn't WIN !???!! It's too light ! It's unfair on the fat c**t !! haha, Mariusz and Brian only beat Z in them crossfit events, they were not real strongman comps. WSM is no use, it's all about the Arnolds | ||

WSM is no use, it's all about the Arnolds Fully agree TBH; Arnold's is where it's proven that you are the Strongest Man in the World! The WSM for years has now been, more so during the Pudz reign, the Worlds, fittest and strongest Man! Another one for the likes of Z, Misha, Virstyuk etc... Pudz never competed in the IFSA comps as he'd have had his ass handed to him and would have been way down the pecking order IMO | ||

Pudz never competed in the IFSA comps as he'd have had his ass handed to him and would have been way down the pecking order IMO I was being sarcastic, there is more to strength than just static strength. I prefer to watch WSM to arnold format. Each to there own though! | ||

www.grahamhicks.co.uk Member 994, 9594 posts SQ 330, BP 250, DL 405985.0 kgs @ 135kgs UnEq | there is only a matter of seconds inbetween Z thor and shaw on both truck pull and stones. So it could go either way. Z needs a 2 point lead over thor/shaw going into stones to avoid losing to them on countback. | ||

Member 4768, 413 posts SQ 310, BP 232.5, DL 310852.5 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq | No disrespect to someone , but Z and Shaw are the two strongest in the world and when it comes to some heavy stuff they are the two best strongmen in the world . So Thor beating them .. only beacause events are lighter . That's it . If u put Z and Shaw compete with Pudz back in the day when stuff was light he would have beaten them again . So because most of the field is not on their level lets make the weights lighter to equal chanses . | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 29.03.2014 @ 10:46 AM by Mikeneto tbf on Thor he has recently done a 430kg deadlift, he did 4 reps on a 300lbs dumbbbell. Now his log wasn't great at the Arnold's, but I think it just went badly and didn't represent where he was at. I think he is close to a 200kg log. I also think he can easily lose 5-7 points to Z on squats so it is still definitely a 3 horse race still.His static strength is pretty great for someone as young as he is and as tall he is. | ||
