 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Nimble said:Loz must be pretty happy with his group. Terry... not so much. Tough group I thought loz's group was quite tough. Shivlyakov is no joke and quite a few monster pressers who will take points off him on log. Hopefully he should still qualify ok though. Ed's group looks pretty straightforward for him and kieliszkowski. You'd struggle to find a harder group for terry though. | ||

Group 1 Load & Drag Log Lift Fingal Fingers Deadlift Overhead Toss Last Man Standing Atlas Stones Group 2 Load & Drag Squat Lift Truck Pull Overhead Press Overhead Toss Last Man Standing Atlas Stones Group 3 Load & Drag Log Lift Lift Truck Pull Deadlift Elephant Carry Last Man Standing Atlas Stones Group 4 Load & Drag Log Lift Truck Pull Deadlift Overhead Toss Last Man Standing Atlas Stones Group 5 Load & Drag Squat Lift Fingal Fingers Overhead Press Elephant Carry Last Man Standing Atlas Stones Elephant Carry is indicated as similar to the Africa Stone from past comps. Last Man Standing lift appears to put more emphasis on the stones. Even more so than double points have done. "Basically its stone over bar, 5th vs 6th, once one fails 4th replaces them then they keep lifting till next one fails then they are out. You could be 6th in group but keep loading the stone and 5th, 4th, 3rd and 2nd fail vs him and he makes final" | ||

Member 6130, 110 posts | would 6th placed going into stones mean if everyone else lifted four reps you would need to beat the combined total? So 20+reps in that case or just need 5? | ||

So 20+reps in that case or just need 5? Youd need to keep repping while 4 other guys failed. So yes, if you were last going in to the event youd need 16+ reps to make the final. Its 16 not 20 as you dont need to win the event, just be in the top 2 id assume. | ||

Sugdens 'man' at WSM 2021 Member 1513, 2139 posts SQ 224.5, BP 181, DL 276.5682.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq | I think it is heavier and heavier stone from what I'm hearing. But details aren't really available. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | I can see Viking press and squat won in about 15-18 reps....Which is muh. I think it will be an interesting close fought final. | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts | If Ed doesn't mess up tyre and drag, he should win. He will most likely get 3 event wins. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | AdamT said:If Ed doesn't mess up tyre and drag, he should win. He will most likely get 3 event wins. But potentially 4th on chain drag, 4th on truck pull, 3rd on stones. Shaw could win chain drag, 3rd squats, 3rd viking, joint 1st deadlift, win truck pull, win stones. Thor could win chain drag, stones, truck pull and 3rd on static events. I think Thor looks better this year to win moving events..Weighs 205kg, done the events already at ESM so better prepared...Prepared max deadlift for Arnold's...Pressing strength has been great this year...All depends if he brings his squat suit, it cost him the title in 2014. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 21.04.2017 @ 13:52 PM by Mikeneto So my prediction is...If Terry Holland makes the final Thor or Shaw will win...If Jerry Pritchett makes the final i think Hall will win. | ||
