Member 5560, 769 posts | AdamT said:I know we are on uk forum. How many of the main comps has Ed won? Wsm, Europe's and Arnolds? He has dominated the Uk and deadlift, but is miles off Arnold's and Wsm. If he drops weight, Then Shaw and Thor will surpass his static events. I'm not a hater, but a peak Terry was a better All around Strongman. How close was Terry to any of those titles? in 2011 Terry was at peak and finished 8 points down. in 2015 Ed finished 7.5 points down. Pretty similar. | ||

Member 5560, 769 posts | Andy_f said:The crazy thing is it feels like Ed is quite far away at the minute from winning WSM, however you take 3 guys out and he dominates. (Z, Thor, Shaw). I can't see all those guys stopping anytime in the next 3 years though by which time I don't see Ed competing at his current strength/weight. He isn't far away. Finished about 2 points behind Thor in 2015. | ||

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | drex50 said:dont advocate Hall if he doesnt make dramatic change about bodyweight and fitness he will die in a 2-3 years for what for nothing i dont give a fuyck about him, but he has family and kids i care about them every kid needs a father Have to agree with this. It seems like pretty poor show taking such crazy risks with your health by walking around at that weight when you have kids. I get what people are saying about that documentary that showed he was fairly fit for his size but he looks to have put on a heap more weight since then and seems to he on the verge of passing out after just about every event now. I wonder where the competition organisers stand on this. Does it get to a stage where they can't allow him to compete due to their duty of care to him. Hopefully it's right enough that he is trying to drop a heap of weight now he's done the 500kg pull. | ||

Member 4923, 1795 posts | Can anyone else make the plane pull & Kettlebell throw more interesting? Both events look like a one-two for ThorShaw no matter how you look at it (in what order I don't know). | ||

Member 5560, 769 posts | Plane pull should be happening now. We will see how much pressure Thor can put on. | ||

While he might only finish 3/4/5 points off being worlds strong man it seems close but if he can never close that gap between himself and Shaw over 5/6 events in a comp he's never going to win it. So near yet so far. Like someone else said. He could be the strongest man never to win it. | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | I don't have a position one way or the other on Hall's weight and fitness but...it seems clear to me that just because somebody on a Documentary said one thing that does not - necessarily - make it so. | ||

Mask it or Casket !! Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | Shaw Thor top spots wouldnt bet against that now. I doubt Thor can pick up 3 points in the next 3 events even though he has a lsight edge on Shaw `on stones and throw. Not ruling out Ed for a medal just yet. I think a 3rd for him is about 50/50 at present. Which, considering the frame disaster will prove he is capable of top spot. We will see... | ||

Member 5560, 769 posts | Thor beat Shaw on Plane pull. Looks like nobody finished it. Ed just 8cm behind Shaw | ||

Member 5560, 769 posts | Surely a pull nobody can finish is set far to heavy? | ||
