WSM 2016?

Z was 190 kilos at ASM 2010.
For me his version in 2010 and 2014 ASM is the strongest man ever. Especially pressing.
I believe he was stronger than Hall at the moment, except deadlift.
And his overall in much better condition, never seen him pass out after truck pull or another moving event.

Hollands is stronger and bigger naturally
Mariusz responds to drugs tremendously
here comes the difference
also Terry Hollands looks to me to be pretty conservative with drug usage

Worst final in modern times...4 out of the 6 events were appalling.
Run with a tyre in sand with one arm...so beach race
OH medley that was laughably easy...bemusement on strongmen's face
Keg toss...where being too strong was a disadvantage
Stones silly light with awful loading platforms
Squats...16 reps won(cross fit numbers)...questionable squats...some athletes wearing suits others not, giving a ridiculous disadvantage.
5/6 actually ...complete s**t.
Shaw's truck pull was by far the most impressive thing of that final...you could tell he was raging at the organisers for making such a dog s**t final.
The thing is Z was in his best form ever and performed amazing at the Arnolds and would have been great for the world to see one last amazing performance from him.

I don't think we've his last amazing performance. He looks huge and in shape. If his back heals he'll win another Arnold and WSM

BrenWad said:
The 500kg deadlift is so much beyond what Z ever got near to. Add in how good he is pressing, not just log, but axle, viking, strict,bench,inclines,dumbbells etc, plus how easy he squats huge weights for reps, and he's stronger than Z. Z is way more rounded as a strongman. Statically and in a gym, Hall is unbeatable.

Again I don't think so. Strict axle pressing 208kg X 2 ASM 2010, squat in wraps 440 x 2, front squat 350kg X 2.

nobody beats that, even 500 kilo deadlift

Z is the king. Gradual strength built over a long successful career. The best ever. I'm a Shaw fan as well, but Z is still the best overall strongman ever.
Most World record ever. Most Arnold Classics ever. And most overall 'World's strongest man' titles. He won two with the other crowd, didn't he??

MJG said:
Pudz has more WSM titles and IMO put in the greatest single performances in a strongman contest ever. His domination of the field at WSM 2003.
Z is still the greatest strongman of all time.

unit94 said:Ed hasn't done any pressing as impressive as what Z did with the axle in 2010. No one has

AdamT said:
I agree with you. Terry Holland's also agrees that Pudz in 03 was unstoppable. Flawless!

MJG said:
Probably the final with the most depth as well. 5 champions and 7 guys who finished on the podium at least once in their careers.
He made them all look second rate.
