 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | JC said: Yeah, we normally rate SM on how much they can press/DL...f**k everything else! I'm guessing that same logic is why I'm down on the heavyweight list. | ||

It was an example mate. THey also sprint with 400kg yokes. Who in the UK can do that other than you and Ben K? | ||

Who's higher? I couldn't possibly say, as they haven't competed against each other! Valdas is the best Brit outside of Ben, I'd bet my bottom dollar the guy who compiled the list doesn't even know who the f**k Valdas is! The Russian is above is possible the "strongest" 105 in the world Aukland won Euros, but didn't make the 2nd day of Worlds in Finland Mark Topham is BSM but ranked below Lee There is no reasoning whatsoever to the rankings. Its a bit like me not watching any other team but England, so therefore professing England as the best team in the world If we're going to do stuff like this, lets at least apply a half decent methodology I said it was my opinion. Stop being all butthurt without actually providing anything better. Lee is a better strongman than Mark imo so I have no problem with that. He beat him comfortably at Englands and only injury stopped him winning BSM. | ||

9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | kirkynick said: As far as I can see, you've moved up a place on the list  Savantinos and oberst above guys that made finals at WORLDS strongest man? Neither made it this year even though they were competing. Wildauer, johannes warrick brant, Caron and Ostlund (was in obersts group) all made final this year tbh it just shows the bias to me | ||

He beat him comfortably at Englands and only injury stopped him winning BSM. Butthurt? Meaning what! Its a bulls**t raking system, I'm just saying it how it is. Instead of unofficial rankings should we call it "Luke and his US cronies IMO Unofficial Rankings" I cant provide anything better as only 4 of the "top 10" ranked athletes have competed internationally... Of those 4, 2 had there ass handed too them buy a Brit (not on the list) at Finnish worlds and one had his arse handed to him by 3 eastern Europeans also not on the list! please tell me you see the ridiculousness of that!? | ||

LOL. It's just a start, if someone has someone better for the list, send them to starting strongman and get it updated. I don't think its ridiculous at all, its trying to get the lightweight class guys name out there, spark some debate and actually help the sport grow, which no one in the UK seems interested in tbh. You could help and say which 2 guys had their asses handed to them by which Brit see | ||

Sean got beat by 4 Europeans (+Ben) at worlds, yet is ranked 2nd Therefore bullshist. Lets at least have a degree of accuracy | ||

I'm don't often quiz people on their weight cat knowledge its just apparent that 105 knowledge of results was lacking in formulating this list | ||
