Enough was enough. Banned. Member 6099, 775 posts SQ 300, BP 195, DL 310805.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | FAT_SAM said:Z out, Shaw with half a hamstring and Thor looking average. Not that Hall needs anyone to be below par to win but all this is making it look real good for him this year! All these problems for others and still he has only one event he can expect to win. | ||

Lovely ass Congrats. Member 5958, 2315 posts SQ 280, BP 170, DL 300750.0 kgs @ 138kgs UnEq | BrenWad said: All these problems for others and still he has only one event he can expect to win. Finally saw the videos of his training. He looks uncomftably over weight and out of shape. That said hes fooled me once and maybe hes hustling us all. | ||

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | scruffmcbuff said: Finally saw the videos of his training.

This is what I was thinking, hopefully he is just having us on and he is in better shape than he looks. I'm not really a fan of Hall but kinda want him to get his win so he can retire and lose weight. If he carries on the way he's going and at the weight he's at I'd be seriously worried about his health. However, barring some sort of serious injury I don't see any way that Shaw will lose it this year, especially with thor looking in poor shape. | ||

Average hamstring at best Member 4663, 588 posts | I'm not sure why everyone doubts him so much, especially after the way he pulled that deadlift. He said he'd do it and he did. At britains he was a different class to anyone else, he looked in cruise control. I believe there's a fair bit of gamesmanship going on, remember he didn't put many convincing vids of his deadlift on either. I'm predicting a 2nd place finish for hall behind shaw. 3rd place is up for grabs especially with Thor filming in Belfast this week for game of thrones | ||

But i dont put it past hall to have an ace up his sleeve and do some serious damage at the worlds. | ||

Mr.Potato deadlift Member 2675, 4628 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 300800.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | I don't know why there's so much doubt with hall. He was 4th last year, certainly stronger this year and one of the men who beat him isn't in it. Surely he'll be 3rd at worst. | ||

Mask it or Casket !! Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | i would have thought so... is everyone watching the Olympics and wishing the USA or Russia to win? I expect not. Get behind Hall ffs you self hatters. 93hopkinsonr said:I don't know why there's so much doubt with hall.

He was 4th last year, certainly stronger this year and one of the men who beat him isn't in it. Surely he'll be 3rd at worst. It's not a lack of strength that makes me doubt him. It's what looks to be a serious lack of fitness (as others have said this could be all gamesmanship and he's fitter than he's letting on) and kettlebell throw being in the final, an event that he has historically been pretty poor at and hasn't shown any signs of a drastic improvement in. Add to that the fact that Shaw is excellent at it as well as there being other excellent throwers like arsjo above him and I think he may well haemorrhage points on that event and lose a good few on the frame too. It comes back to the fact that the strongest man isn't always the best strongman. Edit I do think he will be on the podium as you've said, I just don't see him challenging shaw for the win like others have said. | ||

He's got a grip coach, I don't believe if his grip was that bad he'd have left it until the last minute to get his services. Kb he's undoubtedly gonna drop points on but others will drop points on other events. It wouldn't be the first time someone has a shocking event and still win Granted his fitness looks poor, but we don't know at what point in his sessions his videos are. I'm choosing to believe him when he says he's in great shape. Like I say, ed at britains looked phenomenonal and that wasn't that long ago | ||
