the ferryman will always need his coin. Member 1085, 408 posts SQ 220, BP 175, DL 285680.0 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq | BigMacca said: 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. As they say Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. . Not sure how Tom is in terms of Speed on the frame, but upper middle of the field would have made things intersting. Hopefully he walks away a slightly wiser athlete, I believe as it stands, the elite of world stromgman now belongs in the land of the Giants, and Tom with a bit more size without requiring to compromise on athletic ability can be in the mix. Great job to Hix and Bish, Been on this site long enough to watch both of their rises through the ranks. Hard work does reap rewards. | ||

 what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10449 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | KevC86 said: 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. There is a plan, might take some time but I think it will pay off really well. It involves many Deadlifts haha | ||

 old age traveller Member 332, 7866 posts | Flash said: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  Was a great comp OOP north I thought it was longer ago though! Hixxy still has a mojo over Bish would love to see them both slugging it out in the final of a well known TV show. Congratulations to Hixxy Bish and the rest of the "new guard" | ||

'THE NIGHTMARE' Member 5255, 290 posts SQ 220, BP 195, DL 240655.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | Can hear the crack clearly. 160kg stone dropped on anything is gonna hurt. | ||

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | Is it his upper thigh which broke? I couldn’t make it out on the vid but that seemed to be where the stone landed. 160kg is gonna break whatever it lands on though.  | ||

Looks like it landed on his knee and basically forced the lower leg to snap. The femur will be really strong that close to the joint so you'd expect the weaker bones in the lower leg to give instead. | ||

The angle from behind is the one that hurts to watch, you see half his shin just fold up behind him. f**k that. | ||
