I hope he doesn't deadlift like 320kg

Seems to be about what he could do based off his posted trainings on Instagram.

Presumably botswana has no strongman of its own and he is the nearest to home grown talent?

Like that unfortunate Chinese fella who showed up in Beijing just to get whooped by everyone in his heat.

They will see it from the angle of, it's good to have a local hero... Hopefully he does something decent and isn't a complete nugget.

Probably done to try and get more of a crowd too.

Black Botswanans would surely love some big white farm boy from South Africa.

That Iron Biby chap that i posted is from Africa too I think (though also seems to live in Canada sometimes). He could mix things up in a group with an overhead event more than this guy, I'd of thought. He's not final-making class in other areas though

Savickas presumed 330 x 5 squat video was 300 x 5 i found out on instagram.
He posted a new video with 320 x 5. Doesn't look too strong.
I am not convinced he will place decent this wsm...

Ed wins the squat unless he's injured. No disrespect to the rest, but it's a fact.

Big Z seems to be progressing ok..His squat weights are rising every week and so is his bodyweight. I don't think he will be at his best, but still makes the competition more interesting.

What a monster he is.

IMO Z is finished. His strongest lifts squat and log have faded by mile, so his deadlift must be pretty low at the moment.
He should have retired after ASM last year, the injury he has is an end career injury.
This final looks so well suited to Edd Hall, if he wins he deserves it because he definitelly is the statically strongest now.
Still think Shaw has more mental strength than anyone and combined with some solid preparation will give him 5th title.
Thor is the most progressed so far, another 10-20 kilos bodyweight he will be untouchable i think, both in static and moving events.
