Mikeneto said:I reckon Z will win the rest of the events. Deadlift and yoke he will be favourite. Dumbbell he came joint first last year and this year he has had a replica dumbbell to train with. I suspect he won't win the dumbbell. It's a timed event and Thor is pretty fast at that. Z always seems to struggle with technique as well and has to use more pure pressing power than the others. Deadlift could be a tough one too with the weight that both Hall and Benni lifted last summer. | |||

| I think Arnold's has found a way to stand out from the other competitions. The events are heavy as can be and must fit on a stage. That happens to favor those (like Big Z) that are strong at static events. | |||

MJG said:Don't want to sound like a dick, but two overheads in five events and straps on the frame makes it seem a bit like a Big Z benefit gig. The dumbbell doesn't really suit Z. Yeah, he's obviously the strongest presser, but dumbbell requires a lot of technique which some of the others are better at. It really comes down to the technique of the others against Z's sheer power. While they may be trying to cater a bit to Z on the frame carry, remember that the Arnold is all about huge numbers every year (bigger if at all possible). There are other guys that struggle with the grip too, so take that out of the equation and crank up the weight I suspect is the thinking. At this level there's no guarantee that Z will win though. He still has to come to the competition in top form to move that kind of weight. He looked thinner in some of the pics on his facebook page and I suspect he needs to come in at 400lbs to win. I wouldn't bet against him, but he is getting older and at some point he won't be able to lift what he has in the past. | |||

Craig_Pfisterer said: No list yet but these are people that I’ve heard have invites. Michael Burke Benedikt Magnússon Brian Shaw Hafthor Bjørnson Eddie Hall Zydrunas has said on his facebook page that he is preparing for Arnold's and WSM, so I assume he's in as well. Straps on the frame carry and the heavier weight will put him in the hunt for the win on that one I suspect. | |||

unit94 said:Afaik Z is going for Arnolds this year and obviously he'll be going for worlds, Arnolds line up will be announced in afew weeks i think Thanks. Figured he might pass on Arnolds since he's won it so many times and focus on World's to tie for most wins with Pudz. | |||

| Have the participants been announced yet? Curious if Zydrunas is competing now that he is "semi-retired"? Sounds like Brian Shaw and Mike Burke are still nursing injuries. I'm betting that Eddie and Thor will both have really good shots at winning this year. | |||

| I would like to see Zydrunas in this competition training for just deadlift. He had Shaw covered pretty good at the Arnold's. I suspect at this point he's really focused on a fifth world strongest man title to tie Pudzianowski. This will be some competition regardless. | |||

| Different than a barbell lift of course, but 525kg in the hummer tire didn't look terribly difficult for him at the Arnolds. There could be 3 or 4 guys capable of pulling 1000lbs at this comp (Benni, Andy, Shaw and Z if he attends) | |||

| I believe Z told Colin Bryce in an interview once that when he is in good shape and rested a 470kg deadlift is no problem for him. Unless the competitive spirit gets the better of him, he did say at Arnold Brazil that he wasn't competing any more this year (at least against Brian based on the question that was asked). I'd bet he'll train for it and if he's in top shape he'll be a late invite for the deadlift comp (at his request). | |||

I'll grant you he wasn't still for very long, but it looked to me like he had just gotten settled (at the 15 second mark) when they must have given the down signal - the movement of his feet after the 15 second mark is part of him dropping it. We are talking about fractions of a second, but he does look stable to me, and that's all the judge needs to see. I agree that the ref could (arguably should) have made him hold it longer just to be sure he was stable, but it looked to me like he was. It's not just Z that gets the down signal this early, and the large dumbbell events are just as bad or worse. I suspect it is difficult to judge and you wouldn't want to make one guy have to hold longer than another so you want to give the down signal the millisecond you believe you see control. | |||

| I've watched it a few times. It was fully locked out from what I can see and he obviously downed it as soon as the ref gave him the all good signal. | |||

LaTuta said:http://www.ironmind.com/ironmind/opencms/Articles/2014/Apr/Zyd... f**kkk zydrunas did 10 reps on the 360kg deadlift in 30seconds :000 It would be such a shame if he didnt compete on the deadlift tournament When and where is the deadlift competition? Can't see Z not doing any other comps this year. It's obviously in his blood. | |||
