 Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 29.12.2019 @ 19:46 PM by PeteHodgson How is there no thread about this?3 for 3 so far. Brits are on fire! Loving the stoltman bros and how much they support each other. Luke is so proud of his 'little' brother. The heats all have the same events this year. That's new I think? Edit: Ha ha. Love my pie face avatar. Thanks Boar. | ||

Yes, the Brits are doing great  Yes, first time it's been the same events in every heat. Not keen on the 600kg yoke and seeing it being lurched forward tiny distances. The Australian guy in tonight's show was very likeable. Not keen on reps being timed. Equal reps should mean equal points. | ||

Mask it or Casket !! Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | dont like the 600 yoke either Wayne. Tom Stoltman the younger is a huge potential. LIke a young Thor. | ||

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | I've hardly managed to watch any of it so far this year. Thank the lord for catch-up tv! I think Tom Stoltman comes across as a really affable bloke on tele. Passionate about his family and the sport and it's nice to see someone smile rather than just screaming or gurning. | ||

 old age traveller Member 332, 7865 posts | Clearly seen as a TV show, how much time is actually spent showing the events? Not much. The Brits have done great shame we have to wait 6 months to watch it!! I am pleasantly surprised by how well Eddie has taken to co-presenting very enjoyable to watch. | ||

not actually strong Member 5779, 811 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 285655.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | 93hopkinsonr said:I can’t see Tom Stoltman ever winning World’s to be honest. Not with Kieliszkowski around Me either, but, no one saw Loz beating Thor at Europe's a few years ago. I'd kind of prefer Luke to win it tbh. | ||

Martins has the smaller explosive frame with the big lifts so he may struggle to ever get top podium against Martins him and the larger boys I still like to see the smaller explosive man on top. More impressive and (look) healthy compared 30st plus gigantious genes... When my little Vikings watch the final with me..I know it will be more exciting this year for them to see the smaller man come out on top. 93hopkinsonr said:I can’t see Tom Stoltman ever winning World’s to be honest.

His pb is 420kg now | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Some random thoughts, having watched the lot today and yesterday: I was really happy to see the same events in ever hear, until they f**ked it by changing from log to circus dumbbell for the last two heats. WHY? ar****les. I think Novikov was absolutely robbed. Two reps turned down in the deadlift and one in the press, all of which were as legit as many others imo. Should have been Shaw in that stone-off, and that would have been very interesting. Licis was awesome, and what a great advertisement for the sport he is. Every bit as marketable as Mariusz was. Were the finals normally five events? Seemed short to me. Eddie was an excellent presenter, no surprise to anybody who's been watching Eddie Eats America (which I recommend, he's a natural presenter, and it's fun). I'd love to see Eddie and Loz not only presenting but doing the commentary in future. Be nice to have some actual expertise, wouldn't it. | ||

Should have been Shaw in that stone-off, and that would have been very interesting What Novikov did with the straps was ridiculous though, obviously no rules at the moment to stop it but just plain bad sportsmanship to even do it, those type of straps should just be banned. (Yes i know pretty much everyone else uses them too). And his deadlift lockouts where a bit shady. On the Dumbell though i feel like he was reffed stricter than a lot what i have often seen in the past, was really made to wait prove he was stabilised, but again this is how it should be. | ||
