King of the impossible Member 3130, 2082 posts SQ 310, BP 200, DL 310820.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Find it amazing Bish misses out winning by 1.5 points and barely gets a mention. Congrats old buddy! Also, massive result for G. Congrats to my fellow Morecambe Mong. I was at BSM u105kg in 2011 when the result was the same, hixx 1 and Bish 2. Now there is a 10 year (almost) transformation | ||

A member for 10 years and still no mouldy peanuts Member 1252, 4468 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 215485.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Well done to Hixxy and Bish. Amazing what these guys have done. | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts | Well done Hixxy! Britain's strongest man! I knew the guy was a monster at 105 and would make an awesome Open. But to win BSM against a stacked line up is something else. Not suprised Bish is top 2. He has been pure class for years. Big Shout out to Paul Smith! Keep going forward young man! | ||

Interesting that bish actually beat him on 4 out of 5 events, was the log tha let him down quite badly So many of the 'also rans' (seems a very harsh way to refer to guys at that level, but it is what it is) have a great log press is the problem there. Guys like Downey and Page taking points off him, just can't afford that with such a competitive field. Curious to see what is next for Smith. We know he expected much better from himself, and it seems unlikely he will get a WSM invite from that performance. | ||

The floor was carpeted and he picked the frame up with the front tilting down (a common technique as it kind of pulls you forward). However, it was really tilted and it snagged into the carpet, dug in and stopped him dead. Then then seemed to struggle with getting strapped back onto the frame and only appeared to manage it with a few seconds to go. Interestingly, the exact same thing happened to Luke, but he managed to recover relativity quickly. Had the flooring been smooth, he would have been fine. | ||

Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | first of the live arena events I have attended and I wasnt disappointed. couldnt have asked to see a better finish than a hixx and bish stone off for top two. massive congrats to hixxy - to me, it really felt like it was his time - he had a consistency that no-one else could match. with bish running him so close ahead of the stoltmans, overall the comp had a sense of a changing of the guard. I dont think anyone should underestimate how good bish's performance was though. criticism of his log I think is premature - he actually blacked out and dropped the log on his 2nd attempt and then came back and did 3 more. without that I think he couldve maybe hit 6 which is where the pack ahead of him finished. after seeing that performance, I dont have any doubt that he will win the title one day. really enjoyed both the stoltmans performances. luke is a proper showman and a great all rounder and tom is a beast in the making. seeing phil roberts fold under the stone was nasty. hope he makes a swift recovery. oh yeah darren sadler is still looking STACKED as f**k. even being a wee man he makes most of the competitors look small. | ||
