He did and by your own admission with more in the tank. I can't see why he can't win this contest. I can't see Shaw pulling 1000lb on a normal bar. Hall will win the DL with a fast 450 ish and be ok for rest of comp. Hall will win bb press, dl and stones | ||

 Member 5141, 4207 posts SQ 300, BP 180, DL 350830.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | ^^ 3 event wins for Ed is a big ask. Kaliskowski may well be his equal on overhead, and there are a couple of guys with the potential to beat Ed on stones. Even if he does win 3 of the 6 events thats still no guarantee of taking top spot. I do think theres a sporting chance of us ending up with 3 brits in the top 5 though, and that would be pretty special. | ||

Hall will win bb press, dl and stones Sam Shaw will most likely pull over 1000. He might not win, but he will pull 1000. | ||

 It's a moonface era now. Member 5901, 956 posts | FAT_SAM said: I normally agree with you but you swore blind Hall wouldn't pull 500kg. He did and by your own admission with more in the tank. I can't see why he can't win this contest. u right buddy but thats mostly becasuse 4 months earlier he struggled with 465 at Arnolds and i believe a few thought he will get into 500kg shape but i still think chances of Hall winning WSM are equal to Levrone winning the Olympia | ||

Because he's won the event multiple times, and is actually a great strongman,rather than just a great deadlifter. He hasn't had to take insane measures to become 190kgs. Hall is the strongest man on earth-as I've said before-but the WSM decides the best strongman. Hall is not the best strongman by a long shot. | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5207 posts | Eddie peaked for that one night only. It won't be good for his health to try and stay a 500kg deadlifted. I still reckon Shaw is near his equal. Wsm will prove this. | ||

So it is possible to be in shape to pull huge deadlifts and win WSM at the same time? | ||

Member 5560, 769 posts | I don't think Eddie will win this year but it's not impossible and I think he will comfortably podium. If everything went his way on the day(s) he could end up as WSM. | ||

Hall at 150kgs would be such a challenger for WSM. 160-170 maybe... 150 is a bit light with how heavy the competition nowadays. To be fair Hall would probably be shredded to f**k at 150kg and look like Poundstone. | ||
