 I eat a lot of meat Member 5124, 2996 posts SQ 245, BP 130, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | I just think having the option to rest on the Viking press is good. Makes for better TV and allows athletes to lift more. The old rule of once it’s put down you can’t return is crap. | ||

Squatting isn't doing my back any good. Member 5108, 869 posts SQ 170, BP 125, DL 210505.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | What’s the rule on most strongman competitions re. Viking Press and whether you can put it down? | ||

 Member 5560, 769 posts | I never new there was a rule that said you couldn't? Why would there be? I do think the events were setup to give Hall the best possible chance of winning but both Thor and Shaw had a chance. Ed was hardly handed it on a platter. Anyone else super impressed by him almost Speed reping 472.5KG at the end of days and days of competition? | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts | The_Lone_Wolf said: The events in this final are not that different to last year. 2016 Final Frame Carry Circus Barbell Deadlift Plane Pull Kettlebell Throw Atlas Stones 2017 Tyre Flip Squat Viking Press Plane Pull Deadlift Stones No throw event No test for grip Two powerlifting movements squat /deadlift Pressing event, was all about shoulder power. No worry about clean needed like barbell or log. Definitely a few changes | ||

 It's a moonface era now. Member 5901, 956 posts | There has been viking press in WSM heats only. For the last 10 years not a single viking press event with rest. Also the world record of Radz 170x13 was no rest again. | ||

No worry about clean needed like barbell or log. Definitely a few changes Yes. Some subtle but all changes suit Hall. I don't believe that was a coincidence. It's the only time we have ever had the three static events in the final since 1997 I think and back then there were 8 events. First time in decades we have seen deadlift for max used twice. It's certainly the least athletic final there has ever been at WSM. | ||
