Average hamstring at best Member 4663, 588 posts | Wayne_Cowdrey said:Why are strongman threads so inactive these days? Very much a powerlifting forum at the moment. I've noticed this lately, which is strange as it seems more popular with the public than ever before | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 07.12.2015 @ 13:32 PM by Mikeneto The last event looked great, would be good to see that at WSM with flagpoles up to 400kg.Also Ed's calves looked ridiculously muscular. I knew the Icelandic guys have big calves, didn't realise Ed's were so big also. | ||

 I eat a lot of meat Member 5124, 2997 posts SQ 245, BP 130, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 07.12.2015 @ 13:45 PM by The_Lone_Wolf I laughed when Ed hit the 170 log and said, the standard was low... He coasted through. Some good athletes competed, but as of yet none of them are all rounders... I post that with complete respect for them too as they're all bloody good! It just seems that none of them are yet close enough to really trouble Ed. | ||

He said that's the reason that he and hafthor underperformed so badly on the stones. | ||
