It's a moonface era now. Member 5901, 956 posts | shaw has changed original post obviously realised he overeacted don't like Z comment even though we all know he's right pretty much, but still doesnt suit him to put people down like this but Shaw went much lower with his comments and by the way super heavy dumbell and deadlift from the floor benefit Shaw, cant see why complain two overhead events in Anrnolds is since the beginning of the competition | ||

Maybe its the same in Lithuania. Personally I don't believe the events are massively in Z s favour a Hummer deadlift would have been better for a healthy Z and Dumbbell is probably his weakest pressing event. I don't like event where the event is influenced massively by the height(big or small) or arm length, hand size of competitors, it was more acceptable in WSM when they had more events in years gone by and a poor performance in one event didn't mean no chance of winning. Does Arnold still have separate grip event? As far as Stones over bar go, I don't like the event much I would prefer ditch the dumbbell and put in a natural stone overhead pressing event, or a hummer tyre bench press. | ||

I eat a lot of meat Member 5124, 2997 posts SQ 245, BP 130, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Everyone has good events and bad events. Obviously rumors have been rife for years that events are rigged to favour Z, and with recent comments about stones, it does look like the event planners and big wigs want Z there. The comp is designed for the most powerful and strongest men on the planet, and it can't be up for debate that Z is at the top of that athlete list. So it would make sense that if you're running a comp to showcase this, THEY NEED Z THERE. Is there athlete negotiations, is there athlete requests, is there bias? I have no idea, but the comp need Z there otherwise we would all be speculating that the comp was a farce because if Z didn't compete and he would have won if he did. Z has a lot of draw and stroke in my mind, which isn't a bad thing. He has earned that by being so dominant over the years, but as it stands a top tier comp without Z doesn't have the same prestige. | ||

Agree with your thoughts and feel the same. Instead of editing the original post and backtracking he could admit the overreaction, apologise and continue the friendship. It's all not a big deal anyway. Looking forward to WSM next. I believe Shaw will win again. | ||
