Medley the two I think


Yup, then you can have another event that doesn't just test straight line weighted foot speed

like a proper medley, tyre flip, duck walk, drag, what wsm used to be all about

Just watched it - is it just me or did they list Shaw“s weight at 159kgs at the beginning? Ha!

Anyway, decent final. Wish they would quit with the tiny handles... Misha“s hand was an absolute state.

Yeah his hands were well f**ked up.
I remember seeing a picture of him just after WSM... Blimey he looked like he'd been through the wars!

Pretty sure he ruptured his tricep, tore his pec, had some sort of infection and tore his hands on the frame...

Yeah.
That bruise he had on his right arm was brutal! Fair play to him for even attempting the finals!

I'm watching it again lol. 3rd time now!

Just watched it, I was surprised at how well Jenkins did whilst being ill, Thor was very close to pulling 420 so hes gonna be hard to beat in a couple of years and Z pressing is incredible.

Does Z not wear a belt with his deadlifts or was it under his shirt?

Just had a thought, any chance the weird way some of they big guys had their weights listed considerably lower than was accurate was to do with Jenkins death?

Why would they do that?
Jenkins did look f**king awful during the heats and finals. massive loss to the sport.

Have to say I loved the final.
Frame was something that sorted the men out from the boys so to speak. Shame it was tearing hands but it was the same for everyone and not everyone tore them?

It wasn't a suit; it was the strap markings from the truck pull where he used chalk to stop it slipping about
