But just my opinion. Who was higher up the pecking order at the Euro's qual? Ed didn't do it as he was in Australia doing a Giant's Live, Jay is at Europe's, Jack has just done a Giant's so prob not ready to do another so soon, and then it was me. (i) 2 of the 4 events were eds best....therefore if it being 4 events should have aided rather than hindered his performance (ii) I would have taken Hixx based on him finishing 4th at Euros and 4th @ BSM (and my obvious man love for him) | ||

Red Bull is banned in netball Member 799, 1484 posts | But then you are hugely biased! I came 3rd at the Euro's Qualifier, but you would take Hix who came 4th? Fair does mate. He is a very good strongman and gets a lot of love and recognition. | ||

Fair does mate. He is a very good strongman and gets a lot of love and recognition. IMO you should go ahead of both Hall and Hixxy (and given the events you may well beat them at that comp too) | ||

Red Bull is banned in netball Member 799, 1484 posts | I don't think I should go tbh, I was just trying to make a point. But I really appreciate your comments Martin. I am just not ready for that level, esp with 2 press events. But next year..... I think Eddie should be there and think he will do well and I wish him and all the Brits nothing but the best! | ||

Paul we checked this today and the answer was if they are ok sitting on your knee then its fine, so you only pay if they need a seat. I didnt fancy paying 15 quid for bambino, lol. | ||

I'snt bothered ....... honest Member 1291, 73 posts | I think Tom shaw would of been a great choice if jack wasnt available! To be fair he beat hixxy in Euros finsihing ahead of him in 3rd and is naturally the bigger man! I think he's a better deadlifter than hixxy actually (at the moment)....BSM is difficult because there was only 2 events and 1 was toms weakest event (log)... His Deadlift at BSM was raw and 375 at 6'5 is world class! He's at solvi peterson level there pretty much! He didnt make the cut but had he done frame and yoke at BSM im pretty sure he'd of made the top 5! Rapid at both! Huge potential this guy! Only guy to load 200 stone at euros too and he pissed it! Most others didnt even get to the 200 stone.....there was a huge class and stamina difference on the stones - even gary gardner didnt load the 200 stone and he's one of the best stone lifters/loaders on the planet! P.s no offence hix - we all know your a mini marius and dont have human blood pmsl!!! | ||

 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | Terminator said: I wonder how many will go 200+ on log... 3? i guess 1 maybe 2. darrens log is smaller than the ifsa ones which will make it harder. | ||

technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | Seeing the events, it makes me think even more that Hixx should be in, not Ed Then again, I'm hopeing he gets a Giants shot...and this would be an extremley difficult one to have as your only chance at WSM | ||
