AdamT said:I think Terry will also pull 1000+ come July. I'm sure I saw Terry comment on a post last night saying he thinks he's got 475kg in him. Now that would be awesome to see. | |||

| Anyone else think the outstanding result here was Pritchett? Ed's, Shaws and Thors were about what people expected but I didn't know Jerry was capable of that kind of weight. Also regarding Z, either he is carrying some sort of back injury or he's just not got it anymore? Be great to hear it from the man himself if he is actually carrying a long term back injury. | |||

Mikeneto said:Terry's static strength was good. He just lost points on ''short man'' events which won't be at WSM. He now has 3 months to prep for WSM as well. I am guessing no injuries either for any of the athletes,so should be a good 5 going in good shape at WSM. Exactly what I thought. 5th doesn't do Terry justice. Without front hold and conans he would have done much better. I don't really like front hold but thought Felix's performance in that was remarkable. He must have the longest arms there which is only a hindrance in that event. | |||

| It's a shame WSM was more athletic based when Glenn competed. If it was heavier like now I think he would have done much better. He always lost too many points on the moving events from what I can remember. | |||

Simeon said: Don't think Burke or Eddie are over 170 No I wasn't saying they are over 170kg, I was saying they are 170kg. Ed and Burke are stated around 170kg, even Thor was stated around that weight. Then Z and Shaw are considerably heavier. What I'm saying is the days of someone with a body size like Mariusz are probably over. | |||

| You look at the top 3, even top 5 and have to wonder is the era of being average height and even 22/23 stone and being in contention for the title over? Top 5 all 170kg or more. Hope Lalas can come back and be competitive. | |||

| I think Pritchett is getting a bit of a hard time. He's a quality strongman and always going to come close to making the finals. Not a top 5 man in the final but definitely not out his depth. | |||

Mikeneto said: And he beat him at the Arnold's. Shaw definitely got 1000lbs and more in him. His 443kg pb was on a stiff axle in the middle of a comp on that s**tty food from China. I'm sure Shaw was about the only one not on the s**tty food in China. He shipped loads of his own food over so didn't suffer like all the others apparently. Very clever tactics. | |||

| Why was the dead from a 2" deficit? I thought they'd want records to be broken in terms of reps, not make it harder on the same weight. Surely for viewing purposes it would have been better to pull from standard height and up the weight by 10-15kg | |||

| So happy for Felix, it's an amazing achievement. | |||

dannyboy73 said:Either Hall is smashing it or Burke is off his best... Hall smashing it  Or Burke is playing it tactical and doing just enough. I hope Ed doesn't give too much in the heats. The top guys always save themselves so I hope Ed doesn't have to go in to the final having given it 100% while Z, Shaw and Thor have given it 70% | |||

| Does anyone know what's happened to Jack? (I know what happened a while ago) but thought he might be back on the scene now/soon. | |||

MJG said: From 2009 Felix has always had either Shaw or Z in his group, one year he had both. Each of those years (last year aside) both the qualifiers from his group finished in the top 5 in the final. The guys doomed. I was just about to say the same. He has had some bad luck when it comes to which group he gets. Lets hope the draw is a bit kinder to him this year. | |||
