 Mr.Potato deadlift Member 2675, 4637 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 300800.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | If Kieliszkowski is any better at squatting than deadlifting it should be his to lose | ||

I don't fancy him on max log either. He looked understandably nervous pressing in competition this year. Licis for me. Would like to see Caron win squat. | ||

 woefully weak Member 4748, 1506 posts SQ 157, BP 133, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | Pretty good events for Luke S, too! But hard one to call. I think probably Licis, Kiels, Novi in that order. Interested to see what the squat set up is like. Hope its not like powerlifting with the lifter surrounded by spotters (not strongman-y at all) but wonder what they'll do instead? | ||

 no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Nimble said: Interested to see what the squat set up is like. Hope its not like powerlifting with the lifter surrounded by spotters (not strongman-y at all) but wonder what they'll do instead? Any chance they'll use something similar as WSM squats for reps (squat down to pads/safeties)? Takes care of lifter safety and judging. PLers will say it's not a real squat, but even if they do it PL-style I'm afraid it will be like those US mini-feds with very questionable depth. Might as well do something distinctive and strongmanny. | ||

 what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10449 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | Kearney is training in briefs. If they allow suits/briefs I'd rather them not bother. Anyone heard anything about the kit? | ||

They seem to be saying barbell squat on the Instagram. Rogue make a monolift, so could be a simple powerlifting setup adjusted for height. Arnie used to do powerlifting so I've faith he won't want to see people do 1/4 squats. Interesting Shaw is out. I wonder was he invited after his YouTube rant about Arnold's fcuk your (Covid) freedoms comment. I'd have like to see an in shape Z and Hicks at this with squats and log maxes. | ||

Mr.Potato deadlift Member 2675, 4637 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 300800.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Suit and wraps is s**t for strongman. Should just be belt and knee sleeves. So should powerlifting. | ||

Arnolds is usually no suit on deads. Can't see them allowing for squat. Not even tacky allowed on stones. | ||
