FAT_SAM said:Loz only did 370 in a full PL meet. Going from straps to mixed grip twists the pelvis off the floor. You lose a lot. It's not a grip issue. should have hook gripped it then  | |||

FAT_SAM said:Lol Shaw fans! I just think it's funny that a couple of recreational lifters are stronger in the gym than your idol! You must all see what I mean when I say Z has more raw power though. It is STRONGman afterall not technique athletic man in some lifts Z is clearly more powerful/stronger. but anyone who can put a 300lb dumbell overhead several times is not weak - in essence you point to shaws strength as a weakness. Could easily say Z has a weakness in his technique is weak/wrong - the person who has the best combination wins. this point is clear in Z winning the ASC - he was one of the weakest Deadlifters but his strength and technique across the board allowed him to win. | |||

FAT_SAM said:Said it before and I'll say it again... Stick myself, Donnie and Shaw in a competition on pure strict shoulder power (seated barbell) and Shaw would come last and that's with 60-70kg extra bodyweight too. The dude is athletic as f**k and technically proficient. But he can't actually press s**t! Dumbell isn't a test of shoulder strength. Something is wrong when a dude that can't strict press 400lbs does 300lbs one handed. Just look how Z did the dumbell... Pure power. Z deserved the win overall. Everyone knows I am a Hall fan and support British Strongmen all the way but Z once again proved he is the best here. never thought strongman was a test of pure static strength - isnt that powerlifting? best strongman would be combination of all strength related biomotor abilities no? | |||

Mikeneto said: Well no... Eddie pulled 460..Brian has one lift left..466 would mean Eddie does 467-468 which he probably would have pulled. 475kg means Ed has to pull around 477-478kg to win. whilst his the record holder I dont know if he has more in him thanwhat he pulled on that set up. a few extra kilos might have made him miss his lift | |||

Mikeneto said: He overestimated. He didn't want to be battling out at the 480's for second when he can pull 450 for 2nd and save for the rest of the comp. Looking back 475 would have won him the deadlift + WR + the Arnolds. sirely 466 would have? whats the rules at arnolds for weight on the bar and changing lifts as the comp runs? | |||

| isn't this just an injury and nothing to do with his deadlift. he just happens to be fortunate that the tricep injury still allows him to deadlift heavy. he injured his tricep a while ago and with a comp which has two heavy pressing events his going to end up pulling out | |||

drex50 said:haha the strongest statically go to sleep ed hall and leave insulina for the big boys this is the greatest moment for me as strongman fan "ooo... Z is off, Z has faded, Shaw is getting better" Shaw cant press my dick he deserves the title "worlds weakest presser" think Z would have done better in the deadlift if his lower back wasnt so tired from being bent over whilst you kiss his arse | |||
