End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Events finally announced(sort of) Heats: truck pull, yoke, overhead press, deadlift, last man standing stones Final: loading race, deadlift, overhead press, squat, stones All seems a bit muh. 5 events, 3 static. Can see the final being max axle deadlift and boring 320kg squat with a suit and athletes getting close to 20 reps. | ||

Member 5560, 769 posts | If it's only 5 events in the heats then last man standing stones is totally wrong. Essentially you have 4 events to get top 2. Also it's really 4 out of 5 static events in the final. It really does feel like WSM on the cheap. | ||

woefully weak Member 4748, 1506 posts SQ 157, BP 133, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | Looks pretty dull. Rogue/Arnold’s really make WSM look like an amateur production now IMO | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | If max dead lift, they will lift more on an axle than they do a few weeks later on the whippy bar at dead lift champs. Thor Licis Janashia Will all lift big. Thor will take Ed's axle dead lift record. | ||

Not sure if Shaw has enough time to get back into podium-ready shape. | ||

He will likely win at least 3 of the final events, or at the ver least Squat and Deadlift. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Special K competes this weekend so get to see what shape he is in and there is a max deadlift. But the same finishing order for podium as the Arnold's wouldn't surprise me. Licis looks really good in training at the moment and looked off prior to the Arnold's. Axle and suit are both positives for his lifting style in the deadlift for Licis. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 17.05.2019 @ 22:43 PM by Mikeneto So the final events are nowLoading Deadlift hold Overhead medley Squat reps Stones This changes everything. Special K is now in the run...Shaw will obviously do well at deadlift hold and is also in the run. Overhead medley can go anyway. But generally better for guys good at dumbbell like Shaw and special K. Will be a close final. | ||

Member 5836, 366 posts SQ 220, BP 137.5, DL 235592.5 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Personally prefer the more static events - but that's just me preferring to watch a grind over huffing and puffing. What would be peoples perfect combination of event types? Personally - some form of pull - Deadlift/squat -press -grip -throwing -stones | ||

I want to see Shaw win another title but feel his time may have past. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | With deadlift hold they've definitely picked it to try and stop Thor walking the final. But his grip seems better this year. He did the powerlifting comp so he trained strapless deadlift and then trained for Hercules Hold at Europe's and done well there. So whilst I don't think he will win that event i don't think he will drop big points. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Regarding Shaw's chances they're not that bad. None of these events are hamstring dominant so that injury won't be a problem. Deadlift hold should be a great event for him Overhead medley is ideal if a heavy dumbbell Stones also good if heavy Squats is good going off last time, he just needs to not pause them Loading should be good also They're all good events for Licis also and Special K. | ||
