As Sam says, pound for pound(stone) Derek has as much if not more muscle as the bigger guys carrying a lot of dead/non functional weight. However, Jenkins is the boy to beat this year.

No chance does Thurman take third with those long levers.

Uma Thurmans feet could win it by default. They are hideous in Kill Bill, even Z would run a mile from them!

What reason? Surely 50lbs or any amount for that matter of fat can't exert any force? And those extra pounds leaning against a 20 tonne truck can't make the slightest difference. The biomechanics just don't add up...

it's not non-functional!!! do you think if jenkins or shaw lost 30-40lbs of fat, they would still win the truck pull event! HELL NO! it's an event where the biggest, heaviest guys win! therefore, being heavier fat or muscle pays dividends on certain events, therefore it is functional!

Respecfully disagree. I pulled an 18 tonne ish truck in a comp approx. 15 meters at 16 and half stone with only a BK double Whopper worth of fat.

the heavier you are the stronger you are otherwise there wouldnt be weight categories in every sport . i know ive simplified it but it works with me, im a ton stronger at 160 than at 130.
Muscularity shouldnt be overestimated otherwise Jay Cutler,Dennis James,and Markus Ruhl would be at the top of our sport
Bulk also protects and stabilises muscles, wider waists aid squats,ect ect....
Ortmayer and Nee were f**ked in strongman when they came in light,and all the top strongmen go superheavy to get to the Arnolds.

congratulations....

how does that change the fact that if you were heavier you would have pulled it faster?
