Hard to know how Z will do, my guess is he will finish about 6th in the final.
Z must hold the outright records for finals made now, is this his 11th??


Even lower, almost everyone in the final looks stronger than him to be honest.

Z struggled with 5 reps of squats in his heat and 3 reps of overhead...Thor had the same events, compare. Then ask yourself how this taking of huge points on those events is going to happen.

Well he got 5 reps, someone else got 7...he didn't exactly dominate his heat to be dropping points.

Nobody expect anything special from Z man, chill out.

Im more curious to see if Shaw is ready for big squat - 340kg in the final.
I think Edd and Thor will kill him in squat and viking.

AdamT seemed to think Z is taking huge points from Shaw and Thor.

Shaw will be ready for squats...last time squats were at WSM he had to diet down, also only had one month to prepare due to being very close to the Arnold's.

Now he is bigger than ever and probably prepped for 2 months. All the athletes were training squats before event was announced.

What diet down, he was very big in 2014 and his squat sucked. He has very long legs, his squat with big weights will suffer i think. We see.

Must have been unless he just made an error. Either a big shame for him.

Basically he did the maths and would have been pointless.

If he won he gets 20 points the same as Z, but Z ahead on count back. So either way he has got to do say 10 reps of stones before having to challenge Z for 2nd spot.

Yes his 11th. He was joint with Samuelson on 10.

This will be Shaw's 9th which puts him as joint record holder with Terry and Pudz for most consecutive finals.

Pudz holds the record for most times competed without being knocked out in the heats. Thor is closing in though. He has 7.
