I doubt it, he's most likely playing the long game and coasting.

Don't think he will win anyway. I think Thor will and Ed will be up there too. Shaw can't win every year.

Just seen Z's reps on the axle via FB...

The lad looks a bit knackered IMO; either that, or he was just coasting... He was up against Nick Best who only got one rep

Did he recently tear a tricep? Can't remember what the injury was but has to be something wrong for him to shoulder a finger. He destroyed the world record on that event in 2009.

His last injury that put him out of the Arnold's was a deltoid injury I think.

This; last mention of his injury, by himself on his Instagram and not 'hear say' was that his neck is still causing him issues and it's affecting his shoulder(s)

I know and understand this pain; impinged my ulnar nerve a few times now and have issues with my C5/C6; it can be a sod to press OH at times; other times I feel as strong as an ox!

He just looked in cruise mode to me.

The third rep he failed, his left arm just didn't play ball and I thought it would be all over. Then he resets and throws it up easier than the first....

I doubt he will ever be the same - nerve damage due to 750kg yoke crushing the nerve seems quite irreversible to me, lucky not to be paralysed.

Lalas has the exact same injury.

Just read on Facebook that Nick Best has secured his spot in the final. If that's correct then Hollands or Savickas miss out
