I wish Z would post a video of him squatting a few weeks out from the Arnold's.

I doubt he will be that bothered. He will finish high on log, then crush Z in the deadlift.

Last year was the past. Z is not beating that beast this year.

Arnolds without dumbell is s**t.

I have to agree.

I have been very unfair on Brian with my posts here in the past. He ain't losing to an injured Z in his current shape. I believe he could beat a prime Z from 2014 now. Thor is the biggest threat, he wants it this year and looks to be about strongman atm whereas this time last year he was filming and training sporadically and on no strongman kit.

My official predictions are

1. Shaw
2. Thor
3. Lalas

I agree. Ed and Thor have improved (Ed especially), so Brian has had to get even stronger. I shouldn't doubt Z, but I don't think he will win Arnold's or WSM.

Thor is for me this year the competitor to look for.
He improved immensly on pressing and other things.
I think he will also finish pretty high on deadlift with 450kg+

I actually think in strongman a safety squat bar type of event would be good...Just put some big globes on the end. Make the bar more rigid...Even an axle.

Athletes seem to hit depth easier with them, plus fine on shoulder flexibility.

For safety just get some type of mono lift with safety straps.

Boring and squats. Bring back more strongman events.

Anyone who wants match squats should go to a powerlifting meet. Bring back strongman moving events and get rid of all the static lifts.
