How is wsm a faster set up?
The extra bw makes sense given the suggested events and the fact that he doesnt need as much comp fitness as he did for europes (2 events a day instead of 5).

Suggested events, not 100%. Over the years there's typically more moving events where speedier competitors do better than static competitors (hence thor doing better at WSM than Arnold's)

I'd like to see farmers like it used to be back in the late 90s/early 00s when it was for about 70m and you had to walk the turn without dropping them. A proper grip test.

Squat reps
Viking press
Deadlift
Truck pull
Stones

Ed would definitely win the above,.


These are the events for WSM 2017

Surely they won't do deadlift and squat in the same contest?

If the events I guessed, do come to pass. There will only be one winner.

Nothing is set in stone as far as I know but I have heard that from a few places.

Anyone still fancy betting on Shaw?

The events are good for a close comp. Thor, Shaw or Ed could take it.

Yoke and truck pull are the deciders.

Thor could win if he uses a squat suit and gets third in that event...3 event wins(moving) and 3 thirds(static) would take the top spot.

It is a comp where being heavy is an advantage...Shaw is the heaviest and the champ.

With Ed, good events... Probably max points in static, just depends on that truck pull.

Be interesting to see if there is a 1rpm event...Viking won't be i don't think, deadlifts was last year so doubt it will be this year, so that leaves squat....Or they will all be for reps.

Fair point. Although still with more events.

I reckon this Z squatting video is 370kg x6 rather than 300kg. If the former i think he will do well at WSM...Not sure how his delt and pressing is though.

Derek DeVaughan says he is going on his Facebook.

Has Pritchet confirmed yet?
