AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts | I think Terry will have a big Final. If he gets his deadlift back up to 450 and does ok on the pressing event, he has a good chance at the podium again. It is hard to look past Shaw. People accuse him of pussying out of the deadlift championships, but I don't see it that way. He came second to Ed at the Arnold's, I hardly find it likely, he was afraid to lose again. Shaw is only worried about the Arnold's and WSM. He wants the titles. He knows he will most likely never catch Z's Arnold record of 7, but he has a big shot of passing 5 titles of WSM. | ||

 more like 'FAT TROLL' Member 984, 6331 posts SQ 420, BP 260, DL 3351015.0 kgs @ 165kgs UnEq | Shaw is beta as they come. 50K was offered for the 500kg and he phagged out!  | ||

 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | beza said: You think Caron will beat hall? Quite shocked at that. I think he could well beat him. Hall looks like he might lose big points on a couple of events. Caron is unlikely to be outstanding on any events (ie beating the top 2) but is likely to do well at everything and not really drop many points anywhere. Arsjo will be much the same I reckon. | ||

It all depends who is in the final TBH. I actually worry about Terry. I think he may have to seriously step up to even make the final. He has been handed a fair group but perform like he has been doing the last year and he won't make it. | ||

Terry is a multi day competitor, and has brought his press up. Shaw could win ten WSMs if he cared to stay competing. | ||

He's been very astute at marketing himself and using social media, not to mention his earnings from sponsors and comp wins. | ||

I'm sorry, but this is absolute nonsense... 99% of drugs back then were pharma grade 99% of drugs now are bathtub grade... I'm talking about things available to general population (and no, strongmen do not fit in the other category, maybe some elite level sprinters, footballers, basketball players... do) 30 mg of dbol back then would give you gains you couldn't get with 100+ these days same goes for everything (I wasn't born back then, but a lot of guys I trained with, shot putters, oly lifters and so on, say the same exact thing) the only thing you have today is hgh and peptides, which do almost nothing for strength | ||

 Mr.Potato deadlift Member 2675, 4628 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 300800.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | BrenWad said: Shaw could win ten WSMs if he cared to stay competing. I very much doubt that. If Shaw thought that was possible, he'd definitely go for it. I have heard him say he wants 6 but I think that's a long shot | ||

 still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | Miky111 said: 99% of drugs back then were pharma grade 99% of drugs now are bathtub grade... Not only that, but back then 99% of bathtubs were cast iron. Today they are 99% plastic. | ||

Member 4923, 1795 posts | Just looked at the groups, lot of new names. A lot of the usual suspects must be missing?? Is Hicksy still battling injuries? | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts | Shaw knew he couldn't pull 500, so no point. He doesn't wear the beta equipment needed  Shaw vs Ed, no suit, no straps, no hitch, who would deadlift most? I think Shaw would take it. | ||

Complete and utter bunkem. When you end a point by claiming GH and peptides do nothing for strength, then you display a complete lack of understanding of how anabolics and peptides actually function in the body. The point concerning quality-how do you know people are consuming crap made in peoples bathtubs (even if that was actually the way most gym rats gear is produced, which it isn't). You think Brian Shaw is consuming crap when he has access to a smorgasboard of pharmaceutical grade drugs from Mexico, Columbia, Venezuela?? not to mention GH, IGF-1, Insulin, SARMS et al. Really blown away that you think that the test, deca and dbol Kaz and co took can compete with the much wider range of much more powerful steroids used now. | ||
