Sherdog Strongman discussion thread- Strongman classic looms

[irish_thug]

Just gauging interest. Would you guys have any interest in an ongoing Strongman thread in the sports bar? We could update it with news, event coverage, etc. for all the bigger shows out there.

I know it's a very niche sport, but it's been one of my favorites for the last 30 years.

Yeah it's not really a mayberry type topic. Could amalgamate discussion like this with updates like in @PEB's thread in the P&M.

Yeah I just wanted to get a discussion going since I like the WSM and I figured there would be more casuals anyways.

JF and Novikov tied at 32 with 2 events left. Also Mark Felix , even though is not in the finals was allowed to attempt to break his own Hercules Hold record, they didn't reveal that yet.

Must be a drastically different set up for the hercules hold. Luke Richardson held for 35.12 seconds. At Europe's strongest man he held for a minute 14.

Unless it was much heavier, I don't see how it can be set up all that differently.

They must be at more of an angle or more top heavy. These ones are actually 1.2kg lighter that the ones from ESM two months ago. 158.8 KG vs 160kg.

No clue , I keep digging , no new updates. Its fucking insane in 2020 we can't at least have that.

Loz was saying in a video yesterday that this is infuriating as a fan and he's going to try and speak to the organizers. Can the British broadcast rights 5 weeks later really be that lucrative?
