Its not the set-up at all. Its ppl not preparing well for events. So many squat injuries in strongman due to ppl not squatting anything like what they deadlift, or showboating like Loz used to. | ||

Of course the set up is a factor, you think hitting one of those stands with 320kg on your back and being knocked off balance isn't an injury risk?Its not the set-up at all.

Of course the set up is a factor, you think hitting one of those stands with 320kg on your back and being knocked off balance isn't an injury risk? Thank you. It's a stupid set-up, and that's the first time I can recall someone agreeing with it. There's been far too many people injured on that over the years. Even if you are well practiced squatting to blocks/bars in the gym, you're still gonna have a hard time hitting both at the same time - especially when people are fatiguing going balls-out trying to get as many reps as possible. In my opinion, a Monolift + chains + judge depth would be a far safer way to do it. Glad to see them get rid of that awful "Thor's Hammers" event though. | ||

The whole sport of strongman is one huge injury risk! Change your tampon and talk sense. The great squatters don't struggle,just the ones who fail to prepare. In your universe the WSM would resemble some terrible powerlifting comp. | ||

Yeah, let's use a squat machine and have the athletes rest for two weeks between events. Its brutally hard and looks cool-just how WSM should be. | ||

Was it as bad when they used to do the barrel loading squat? | ||

Mask it or Casket !! Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | Ive been thinking this for the past two days. Loz could even get a silver. He beat Thor already this year at Europs. Hell, he could get the win...why not. as long as he remains uninjured. BrenWad said: Deffo podium chance for Loz. | ||
