9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | if things for me carry on as they are I will be competing at WSM this year! I know some may think this is a little quick but progress is going really well and virtually have full movement in my arm already. I know I won't be in top shape but will be there to do my bit and perform to the best of my ability as always. This year one of the other Brits will have to put up the challenge but I will say, never write me off from making the final! I don't know what the score is with Jimmy. So qualied from Britain is me, Loz and Felix I would assume Sadler would get another spot so leaves one spot up for grabs if Jimmy isn't ready. I did my injury on 19th of June so virtually 3 months after will be WSM. Big Gray, people will always have their personal favourites and no doubt Derek is a great strongman, doesn't mean everyone has to be a fan cause of that though. IMO the winner this year will be American but it won't be derek, I'm going for Shaw, Z and Derek as the top 3. | ||

9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | I know I won't be in top shape but so long as my arm is good will go, I can't miss going to wsm just being a part of it is great! I can hopefully support the other brits and one of them can do great and get right up there (Loz this is you I am talking to)! I have been doing plenty of hack squats, 1 arm db presses and basically anything I can. On the plus side my back and knees feel better than ever! I could see Misha getting in the mix for a top 3 finish but a lot will depend on the events I think. He is a great strongman but IMO lacks a little on the running events. I know he has virtually no strongman equipment which doesn't help, god help us all when he has everything! | ||

I heard he had one atlas stone but broke it so never trains them. Don't know if theres any truth in that. | ||

Red Bull is banned in netball Member 799, 1484 posts | Terry; if you are going for it, best of luck. I think your mad, but can understand why you would try. I have difficultly stopping myself trying to train/use it, so can't imagine trying to stop myself going to WSM! LOL! Shows how different treatments can be from town to town; I ruptured mine and got operated on before you and I am still in a cast brace which has only just got set to 30 degrees, wont have full movement till August. Then probably wont be able/allowed to lift anything over a few kg initially. | ||

Red Bull is banned in netball Member 799, 1484 posts | I ended up getting mine done in Newcastle by Doctor Fearon; he has done a good job and I am healing up nicely. It was Paul West who got done by Mark's Doctor who you got seen by. He is very highly regarded and does seem to have people recovered quickly. Hope you heal up nicely mate. I am fed up with my brace cast now, just want to be able to move and use my arm! Miss deadlifting, hehehe! | ||

I was getting annoyed at the noticable shrinking of my arm too, haha. From when I have spoken to Jimmy he has been in some pain with his and I've had none what-so-ever! I stopped the painkiller after 3 days of having the surgery! everything is still attatched so can't complain, I can virtually straighten my arm but the rotation is still a problem, can only get my hand to turn a little bit outwards! | ||

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Yeah Misha had no stones, but Steve Slater sent him a couple I think, or at least some moulds, after the Arnold. | ||

Thing thinks he can decide what goes here. He cant Member 354, 1452 posts | Would be awesome to see Terry at WSM, you were totally on fire up until the injury. However: Obviously you know your body better than anyone and weather you'll be ready, but I can't help but think that it'll be too much too soon. I know you say you won't be 100% but at an event like this surely it's going to put so much strain on everything, is it worth risking the rest of your career on 1 event? I hope there isn't any sponsorship pressure to do it. | ||

I hope there isn't any sponsorship pressure to do it. My arm will be healed by then just my performance won't be at 100% cause I have had to miss so much training! I wouldn't go if I thought my arm would f**k up again! No sponsorship pressure just I wanna compete at WSM again! even though I have done 5 now it is still just as exciting as the first time I went! | ||
