I just dont see it. With the 500 you could see how hungry he was and how certain he was he would lift it.

With the 230 log he has said he wants that because no one can press that much, that includes himself. And most of his talk about it looks like marketing rather than the real desire he had for 500.

He could well still press it, but i dont think its certain like the 500 was.

hes using the actual log, or a replica anyway. So I think he stands the best chance of doing it.
My guess is ed is around 220 at the moment. 10kg for him to find on the day is fuk all.

Of course he is, Colin’s blue eyed boy lol. Do you think he’ll press 230kg then?

To be fair Guys like Doyle Kennedy were - allegedly - repping 900 for reps WITH STRAPS back in the early 80's, so who knows what they would have lifted on the current set ups.

yes I do - I know better than to write eddie off. a 100% fit eddie will press 230kg. His 213kg even though not perfect was relatively easy.

As for the others, not really sure anyone else is close.......... hope im wrong. I was hoping for 200kg 3 years ago and nearly got 220kg so you never know who may just pop up and shock people.

You should be good for 220 plus if you're on form.

I think he will press 230.

Zydrunas is confident, but i can't see him doing it. He did 202.5kg x 4 in his Arnolds Preparation and failed 228kg shortly after, if i am remembering right.
Now he doesn't look anywhere near that strength level.

suppose a lot of strongest got into multiply. totals went up by focusing training on improving geared squats and bench.

This lift makes me say no way he can do 230. Its seated and more like a high incline press.
As Hicks said he looks to be around 220 at the moment. So 230 is a huge task.
And why the f**k there is a competitor who trains with the log replica and other dont.

You.mean like Shaw using replicas of Arnold events? Surely it's just being prepared?

Sadly pressing strength isnt there. This lift is 190 and the week after 200. He looks to be 30 kilos off his best.
Maybe targeting at WSM, 210 max for ESM IMO, which of course will be a great result.
