I did hear that there was a WWE contract in the offering for Thor should he win WSM this year, obviously that didn't happen which might go a bit of the way to explaining his outburst afterwards as that offer was withdrawn with his 2nd place. No doubt Vince McMahon had a storyline worked out for the WSM coming to his arenas and dominating proceedings like a real life Mountain

Shadow line makes it look a little less with the light division... but that's like 3 inches of flex on 440

I was meaning more for the clean than the press, lesser BW doesn't usually do anyone any favours for pressing. For some reason I had in my head that Ed struggled with the clean, but certainly not the case on his 220kg attempt.



My bad, talking rubbish. Though, I would love to see him go for the log WR!

I wonder if he'll still be competing in September now?
I've got tickets for it and was hoping to see all the big names there

I'd be surprised if he's there. Surely he'll put his feet up for a while and enjoy lots of family time.

Hopefully next year it might be loz's dream final, I think he has a real do or die attitude. Maybe
460 Yoke 1st
Barrel squat 1st (now eddies gone)
Max axle maybe joint 3rd
Farmers walk 1st
Power stairs or arm over arm 4th
Atlas stones 5th although a big ask
Would be enough for 50.5 points if everyone performs within there best
If only countback still counted

He may just guest at the deadlifts, and pull something outrageous again.

I honestly do wonder though what he wants now though... He's done the ultimate in being the first man to deadlift 500kg, and then gone onto win worlds. Pretty epic achievements if you ask me.

I know he wants to keep dominating the UK's strongest man comps, but he can safely drop some weight and become healthier while doing that.

I would like to see that.

to be fair why not try max squat and leave the suits out of it.
