9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts	Post Edited: 09.05.2017 @ 16:25 PM by terryhollands SteBennett said: Tbh I regret even acknowledging your comments. They're meaningless. Anyway back to topic, I think Tom stoltman could make podium by his third appearance. He's unlucky to have such a tough group this year or I'd say he'd stand a chance of making the final Love tom and think he has a bright future but its not bad luck he has a tough group, he is a 4-6th in group seed so he was always gonna get 3 really good guys.

Yea fair point. Bad choice of words I guess. Good luck at worlds, I see it being a good year for Brits and a very memorable final

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22044 posts	dannyboy73 said: I recall Magnus Samuelson coming last on his first WSM final? then smashing it a year or two later. Made his debut in 1995 as a skinny legged arm wrestler. Was very lucky with the events he had in his heat (including arm wrestling!) and made the final. Came last. I thought his fire engine pull was quite decent though. He was the lightest guy and came 6th in that event. 1996 - didn't do very well at all. Didn't make the final. 1997 - came 3rd in the final. 1998 - winner I thought the 1998 final was a bit s**t though. Events were too light.

Think Shaw has to be favourite but wouldnt take a lot for a few others to win if things went there way. Looking at Loz, terry, eddie etc Britain could have three people in top five. Great to see Terry come on here and give insiders input - unfortunately of late theres too much speculation and also too much negativity for what is a small niche sport. Go to a local comp everyones friendly and helpful to each other - look on here and everyone appears back stabbing and nasty towards each other which is a shame

Magnus was strong as heck and claimed he was a drug free athlete.

I'm daft. Member 6148, 93 posts	Post Edited: 09.05.2017 @ 18:55 PM by Draken Is Z participating or not? I'm hoping, praying, but I don't think he will. EDIT: I mean, I know he's in group 5, but he'll probably "fake" an injury and be taken out.

Magnus could barely deadlift 700 pounds or squat 600lbs. He was a good bencher and mover of medium heavy weights. He would not qualify for a final today.

But what he was good at he was great at back in the day. Great stone lifter, truck puller, awesome stone carrier/ Con wheel. Some very strong arms and grip that man had/has. Id imagine today's wsm final squat weight would have folded him even at his peak though! BrenWad said: Magnus could barely deadlift 700 pounds or squat 600lbs.

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts	Pretty sure Magnus put some great event performances in WSM 2004. I remember him closing down on Pudz.

It's a moonface era now. Member 5901, 956 posts	unit94 said: Thats Ed at 23 push pressing 140x9. Tom is an awesome athlete and especially good at pressing given hes so tall Edd Hall would have been world class strongman if he slowly and steadily progressed up to 170kg.

Most of rest were leagues away from modern athletes.
