 It's a moonface era now. Member 5901, 956 posts | Mikeneto said: Not one event tests their actual max strength. Squats i am not sure of the weight...but if 320kg and 15+ reps, not so great to see who is the strongest. Rest are grip and moving, not particularly heavy Agree. Mariusz Pudzianowski from 2004 wins this final any day. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Special K won OH ...then Licis, then Shaw, then Thor. But i expect Licis to gap special K a lot in the next two events....squats and grip. | ||

With K winning the second event and licis coming second its between those two really. Tom currently in third after two events | ||

Deadlift hold...his grip was s**t at ESM but i think that was due to a mistake. He powercleaned a 160kg DOH axle in training and is good on farmers etc. I don't think he will beat Shaw and Licis in that event regardless. | ||

Tom currently in third after two events Never been too many max events at WSM...they complained at too many static in 2017...but they were too light with 320kg squat and high reps viking press. 175kg log for reps 350kg squat with no suit are better. Anything into double figures is too light. 15+ is ridiculous. | ||

Anything into double figures is too light. 15+ is ridiculous. I guess they want to favour the lighter and athletic guys like K, Stoltman, Liscis. Lets be honest the bodyweights of Thor and Shaw got pretty ridiculous, and to beat that you have to be like that. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | They've always done it ..2014 had s**t events and 2017. Every year with squats has s**t events. 2014 had 320kg squat, very light OH medley, light tyres running in sand. 2017 had 320kg squat, light viking press. It is like overly high reps squat must also have a light overhead. So nothing close to max strength is tested. Yes 2017 had max dead lift again...but at least it was a good event. | ||

Barring injury there's no way he gets 0 reps, he's a fairly decent squatter, much better than his deadlift. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 16.06.2019 @ 19:03 PM by Mikeneto Licis 1 point lead going into grip. If he top 2 in grip i think he will have it won. Shaw and Thor aren't moving quick between equipment so stones won't be any better. I expect Licis to be top 3 on stones. | ||
