 woefully weak Member 4748, 1506 posts SQ 157, BP 133, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | What's with the 0 points for coming joint 4th on axle in Terry's group? No rep means automatic 0 points? Seems weird. | ||

Chief Moderator.

Lalas has the exact same injury. This is why I'm not a fan of the Arnold's. Yes push athletes to their limits but there is no reason to push them well past it to dangerous levels. A 750kg yoke has no place in strongman, it's just going to end careers. You don't need that much weight to see who the strongest is. Terry Todd doesn't seem to have the athletes well being on his radar and he need to. | ||

 Member 3241, 2043 posts SQ 1, BP 192, DL 255448.0 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq | Draken said:But seriously ... Shaw's Fingal's Fingers is just mind-blowing and amazing display of strength, speed and velocity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwn6Rc6zlyM I hate to say it, but he's so much stronger than Savickas. Bit of an obvious statement seeing as Z is carrying an injury still; clearly hasn't recovered and also Shaw has age on his side  | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Draken said:I pray to god Caron will take some points from Shaw, but that will not happen on stones, but perhaps in the Bullion Toss? Shaw will win the throw easy. He is cruising. | ||

 no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Nimble said:What's with the 0 points for coming joint 4th on axle in Terry's group?

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22044 posts | macroth said: That's often the case, but depends on the organizer/fed. I like it. It was introduced to WSM in 2002. I think it's the right way to do it. | ||

'THE NIGHTMARE' Member 5255, 290 posts SQ 220, BP 195, DL 240655.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 23.05.2017 @ 14:47 PM by PeterDeLaMare This surprises me as Terry has been working hard on his pressing and has noticeably improved it. I wouldn't have thought a 158kg axle would have bothered him that much. I'd really like to see the video to see what happened, I'm actually gutted for him and hope he can rescue the competition on the stones. | ||

 I eat a lot of meat Member 5124, 2996 posts SQ 245, BP 130, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | I will be gutted if Terry doesn't make it, fingers crossed he nails it and qualifies. | ||

If the spread sheet is right, and remember we have been told it is not from the man himself then Terry is pretty much done. He will be 5th going into the stones. | ||

He will be 5th going into the stones. Failing to make the finals two years in a row, and especially this year with the renewed effort and team around him is going to hurt. I'm just hoping it was something simple (injury?) and easily fixed. He was blitzing his group up until now. | ||

Member 4923, 1795 posts | So Terry's through then? | ||
