It’s all about maximizing your strongest events, but more so minimizing your weak events.

Yeah if he had better Damage control in the events he didn't win he would be Champ. Tom puts a rare pressure on Guys, you absolutely have to have a lead on him going into the Atlas or you're not beating him , Dude is already Better than Prime Thor and Prime Brian were at the stones and technically as a Strongman Tom probably hasn't even reached his full potential yet. Novikov is a year younger but it will be tough to overcome Tom getting stronger with his natural Size advantage.

Indeed.

The midget 6”2 ers have such a massive disadvantage against the true giants in certain events, that no amount of training will ever compensate.

No p4p here, boys.

Big Z was always good at doing well in his bad events, Novikov needs to do the same.


Would be interested to see prime Pudz against the modern guys. Was always the feeling they catered to him in his day.

Heard it said likes of Z and Shaw could do a 300kg as quick as a 150 kg :)

The only advantage would be the lower to the Ground Stattic Events like Deadlift for Reps or a Sqaur, Novikov shined there because he can maximize the time and reps with efficient body movements, but Tom showed his class by not losing so many points there. Tom may very well win 4 possibly 5 or 6, he might produce the Results Thor should have.

Yeah.

Kinda why they have weight classes in some lifting sports.

WSM can be a flawed system. Some of the big guys can walk just as quick with super heavy weights and normal heavy weights.

Athletism / strength balance always hard to judge.

Next question with Shaw is if he considers retirement. It was nothing to sneeze at being one of the Older guys in the competition and getting at top 4 finish but at the same time Brian will more than likely never win the 5th one . But he is very successful selling merchandise and training gear as well as hosting his own comp , it might not be so bad to fully focus on that and give evke more time to his Sons , he has nothing left ot prove a Top 4 guy all time and depending on your preferences it's not outrageous to have him as your Goat ( Mine is Big Z ) but easily the US GOAT and that's special as well.

He's still competitive so can keep going but I agree he's not getting #5 and big z is quite clearly the goat too

It's embarrassing to me she 15 lbs from my max when I was 38 she 49 years old lol. My best squat was 450 and deadlift 475 so she's crazy strong.

He trains like a lifter.
