Sherdog Strongman discussion thread- Strongman classic looms

[heavyarms21]

For some reason I don't feel confident in Shaw this year, the past year he's looked flat and his weight loss smacks of clutching at straws.

In this training Session you can can see Singleton being more explosive on the Yoke and Farmers walk. Shaw has spurts here and there , but yeah he is Past his Prime. For guys Similar to Him , I think Stoltman is a Younger Version of Shaw and Thor, I don't think he will even be as Statically strong but he can fucking book it for a big Man.

That Said I think Novikov is the most well rounded and it's Scary that he is so young .

I'm excited for this year but I am hoping Mateuz and Martins come back to add Depth to the Field on the higher end next year.

Shaw Ramping up his training

I'm disappointed he did not have the new guy pull the 700 lb stone! sad face lol.

After watching this, I'm up to 40% confidence in my picks.

That bodybuilder is such a tool. Mate you're doing a leg press not trying to cure cancer so who cares if people talk near you.

Yeh guy looks like a jackass. Some people just like being twats for no reason.

I could see if he was trying to squat or deadlift a big pr and the guy was right in front of him being an idiot but this was obviously ridiculous.

Even then just calm down about it, at the the end of the day you're only lifting weights.

And if people bother you that much don't be so poor and have your own gym.

I will tell you something I am regretting get this a 315 lb "a mix of plates" weight set with an olympic bar and two dumbbell bars with Olympic collars for 175.00 dollars. I bought an addition 200 lbs and a multi-function rack for an addition 300 bucks. I gave it away because I was building a tool area to a friend of mine now the sets are 315 lbs for 645 dollars crazy"plates only". Stuff has gotten expensive in the last 20 years.

I don't think ivan has 505 or even 500 in him right now

Martins just can't get a break lately. He's had injuries, been hit by a car and now had to have his appendix removed

I would be shocked if he were able to return to championship form, just a lot of bad luck. At least he had the last Regular WSM win

He had stem cell treatment for joint pain and claimed it had worked well just before this so hopefully its just a last issue before returning to competition. It really sucks mateauz keeps having issues too

It would break my heart of Mateuz didn't return to form as well , he is pretty much defying doctors orders being a Strongman too.

Love seeing Brian & Evan training together.

Evan is legit and being slept on big time. He’s going to break some hearts this year

He seemed pretty confident before this and it looked like his strength was progressing, appendicitis is a few weeks delay. Fingers crossed!

IIRC he's looked real good in the last comp I saw him in before injury. Lots of raw strength but lacking in some stability. I think injury when he's pushing himself might always be his bugbear.
