OK, we can't be sure of the level of the other guys at Icelands strongest man, and the 2 other top guys weren't there, but still 7 wins out of 7 events is impressive, and in the photo he looks even BIGGER! IMO, this year it will come down to Jenkins, Shaw, Thor, BigZ and one of the Brits or Poundstone for the top 5, with Jenkins winning

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Whilst Thor is improving all the time, I don't think it will be his time yet. If Jenkins can carry his recent form through to WSM I can see him being a strong contender. Shaw will be back and will always give everything, big Z is a legend. Unfortunately I think Poundstone has missed his chance, he is very talented and strong but I think the competition is getting better all the time.

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4720 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290 685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq	No disrespect to any of the top guys, but I think Jenkins will be the highest place competitor outside of the UK

⚽ Member 3634, 2381 posts SQ 227.5, BP 175, DL 250 652.5 kgs @ 143kgs UnEq	With the form hes in I think Jenkins is the man to beat but Shaw isnt give up his title without a fight. You can never count out big Z and the brit boys are in with a shot if they come in on form.

I work as a boner Member 3115, 490 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 300 680.0 kgs @ 132kgs Eq	I don't think Thor will be there yet this year. I do think Shaw, big Z, Loz, Jenkins and Terry will be top 5, not in that order. Maybe even Loz's year, but on the same hand Terry was looking very lean in shape and big the other week at bodypower, you never know if he can stay injury free it might be his year.

Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5 677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq	Actually forgot about Burke and Misha Burke seems like a monster, and well, who knows about Misha, something in me always wants him to win it

P.S must learn to deadlift Member 3457, 700 posts SQ 230, BP 180, DL 235 645.0 kgs @ 148.5kgs UnEq	It will be tough to make it to the final this year, the standards are going through the roof.

Man up and have a fuckin coffee Member 2086, 9717 posts SQ 340, BP 252.5, DL 300 892.5 kgs @ 158kgs UnEq	To win one event in Icelands strongest man is impressive enough, but 7 is insane............ theres no such thing as a poor Icelandic strength athlete so he is really making a big statement!!!!

really really interesting Member 3474, 2816 posts SQ 170, BP 120, DL 260 550.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	I hope he places well, he's a huge guy. I also fancy Loz and Terry for top 5 again this year, this one's gonna be so tight it's mega exciting.

Member 3126, 626 posts SQ 270, BP 160, DL 280 710.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq	I think the top 5 could quite easily be (no order):- Z, Shaw, Jenkins, Loz and Terry.
