Average hamstring at best Member 4663, 588 posts | Eddie has just put on Instagram he's got things he still needs to tick off this year, and that he's not done yet Not gonna lie I'm glad, strongman is more interesting with him in it | ||

 Mr.Potato deadlift Member 2675, 4632 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 300800.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Does anyone think he’s going to log press 230kg? Originally I would have said no, but with everything else he’s proven, I’m going to say he’ll do it | ||

Originally I would have said no, but with everything else he’s proven, I’m going to say he’ll do it 2 reasons i say maybe: home ground long buildup 1 reason i say no: currently hes definitelly not in the 220 range, but still around 190 kilos bodyweight is he gonna put more weight | ||

Probably at least around the 200kg mark right now. It’s doable. I also think it’s doable for Hixxy if he focuses on it. I wouldn’t rule out Z and Thor pushing either | ||

Mr.Potato deadlift Member 2675, 4632 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 300800.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | If overhead maxes become more regular, we’ll probably see a dramatic rise in that too, just as we have in deadlift | ||

Another 2-3 months and I think 230 will go up! I think hixxy will get close, 220 minimum. If Z comes in heavy then I think he'll be there or there abouts too. I think it's probably out of thors reach at the moment though | ||

 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | Post Edited: 29.01.2018 @ 21:40 PM by terryhollands My thoughts on weekendFirstly thought it was a great show, arena and crowd were ace. Eddie deserved his win and hixxy made him work for it more than the points suggest imo. He was nipping at his heals on every event. They both performed great. I'm disappointed for bish and felt bad that we were equal and I snatched it as bish is such a good guy, unfortunately they have to separate us and would have got it on old style countback too. From a personal point of view I didn't know what to expect as I'm still learning my new body. My power still needs work which I knew but my athletism, speed and conditioning is definitely there. I sat at hotel on Friday and said after tomorrow I will know what route I need to take for wsm and I feel I'm on the right track after the event. Wsm is in Philippines which will be hot and humid so my better conditioning should help me and now we're getting back to the old days of strongman testing all aspects by the looks of things I feel I'm in a good place to continue on my path. Wsm final events are Frame Loading Truck pull Car deadlift Overhead for max And stones I feel if my power is up a bit there is 3 events i could potentially win and 2 I could be top 4 only the overhead potentially being a poor event. I'm excited to get back to wsm and for anyone that thinks I'm finished you hopefully will be eating your words. Anyway enough of my rambling Paul Smith did great I thought much as I think it's the worst event in the world his forward hold was great and really got the crowd going. Also I didn't think I'd ever see someone beat eddie on that event Felix is still a legend Luke was great considering he didn't get back till the Thursday before And everyone else busted their arse for the crowd and played their part. Strongman in Britain is still in a very good place especially with loz coming back too even without Eddie doing wsm. | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts | Them final events open everything wide up. No clear winner in that final. I'm glad to see a frame back in. Looks like strongman of old! | ||
