But I feel ed can beat them on log, squat, yoke, and possibly stones. At Europe's 2 years ago ed took Thor right to the wire on the loading event before he pulled out. He's improved a lot since then too. It won't be easy for him but I think it'll be very close between him and shaw Do you think Ed can move as well with all the extra mass? His static power is huge now, but is it at the expense of moving fast. Thor does cardio every day according to his Facebook. | ||

Average hamstring at best Member 4663, 588 posts | luki said: Do you think Ed can move as well with all the extra mass? His static power is huge now, but is it at the expense of moving fast.

 It's a moonface era now. Member 5901, 956 posts | I though this is a WSM thread not 'will Eddie Hall win WSM'. Why local guys give a s**t at all? | ||

500. Its gonna happen Member 4329, 300 posts SQ 120, BP 115, DL 175410.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | How much do you reckon ed could do on the log now. I bet it's close to 230 if not more. He's not posted a log video for ages and did the same on deadlift saying not all videos make the internet | ||

Thor does cardio every day according to his Facebook. Ed's performance in shield carry and especially yoke at BSM would indicate he is better at moving with weight that ever. If he gets yoke in the final it wouldn't surprise me to see him beat Thor. | ||

 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | FAT_SAM said:I reckon events will be Yoke Log max Loading race Squat reps Truck Pull Stones Those were the events I was expecting (or something very similar) if it does follow the same pattern it has in recent years of finals events. Those events would give ed hall his best chance to win but I still reckon it'd be hard for him. I just cant see him beating thor and shaw on truck pull with them both at 200kg plus, or loading, or stones. He would really need to perform better than anyone has seem from him and get an upset on at least one of those events and get a decent buffer on his good events. I'm not saying it won't happen, just that I think it's unlikely. | ||

I understand that folk on here are hall fans but isn't it a bit of a leap of faith to say he'll beat thor, the man who won the yoke last time it was in the wsm final against shaw and a z near his peak, on yoke after one decent performance on it where the only other top guy on yoke (at wsm level anyway) there was loz? | ||
