 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22044 posts | If true, well done to Loz. | ||

 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | MJG said:Perhaps we are guilty of overrating the British athletes a touch? Going into this I would have said we have better strength in depth than the USA but even their reserve competitor had a good run at the To be fair benzel must have pissed off one of the organisers as that's the second year he's been a reserve with far inferior athletes getting the nod ahead of him. To be honest it looks like z was very fortunate to make the final and wouldn't have made it if benzel hadn't broken himself. Good to see loz making it through as he had a tough group and I expected it to be a bit of a toss up between him and shivlyakov for a final place. Hall will be chuffed loz is through as he might take some points off thor and shaw on squat. Can't see many other finalists who will trouble those two on the press though. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Looks like the stones got lighter this year in the final compared to last year. Advantage to Thor and Hall | ||

Average hamstring at best Member 4663, 588 posts | Gutted for terry, I fancied him for 4th this year. Good news for Eddie though. Terry would have beaten him on truck pull and as already said Loz is capable of beating shaw and Thor on squat | ||

Licis may do some damage in squat as well. Kieliskowski is good overhead but his fitness means he scores higher with a clean involved than a strict press. | ||

As much as i respect Terrys record the reality is IF he has 0 repped a 162 axle and IF that has cost him a place in the final then he can have no complaints. If you cant get a 162kg axle overhead you have no business being considered for the title of WSM. Not at all surprised to see Loz make it through, hopefully he can help Hall out on squat, though im not sure id bet on it. | ||

Looking at the results those who did well only got a few reps - maybe harder than a standard axle press? | ||

I am from Germany so i know what i talk about. Member 5171, 1049 posts SQ 217.5, BP 160, DL 233.5611.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 23.05.2017 @ 19:13 PM by LaTuta Thor could have pressed that thing 8 times if he wanted. He just cruised.It wasn't harder. The big ohp are just so dominant that its enough for them to do just 3 or so. Savickas struggled with one arm. But thats clearly because of his injury. | ||

500. Its gonna happen Member 4329, 300 posts SQ 120, BP 115, DL 175410.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Not looking good for terry if he can't get through in the easiest group | ||

Average hamstring at best Member 4663, 588 posts | Just seen him do the stones. Way too light that stone, looked more like a cardio event to me | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Drag event too heavy Stone too light and a stupid event overall Final event will be the same with bad choices for weights. Squats/viking will be won with 15+ reps Stones now got lighter despite many finishing last year comfortably Drag probably going to be heavy again Deadlift max the same as last year Truck pull probably the same as last year when moving along nicely then hits an incline and no one completes and everyone finishes in about 2m of each other. Europe's strongest man was a well put together event. This WSM just seems bad. | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts | I'm not licking arse, but don't kick Terry when he's down. He's still a great strongman and he has always shown humility on here. He would probably appreciate the support that most show on here. | ||
