Err the small Dinnie stone for reps?? Pah. At the Peter Horne memorial event we did the bigger stone (from Davids site: Dinnie Ring Lift for Reps 187.1kg on replica). I did 12 reps with my right hand and David 20 with his left. It'll be tough after the other deadlift event mind. The dumbbell walk is good but more so if the handles are, as they would have been back then, a little thicker than is the norm now. |

If Samuelsson done his back in at MSG then I'd be surprised if he takes part, from what I heard Terry was struggling big time as well. Murumets should be full of confidence going in to this after last week's win. |

Seems to be one thing after another for Terry with illness & injuries. Surviving this comp. will be a test itself. I'll go for Savickas to win it, with Murumets or Travis 2nd. |

Ya I think if I had to predict the winner I would say Koklyaev too but it could easily go to Big Z, Murments, TO or poundstone too. I am really looking forward to seeing the results of this contest mainly because of the unusual events but also the WSM guys with the non-wsm guys. Edited by k2karakoram, Jun 25 2008, 04:18 PM.

SNAP WOW. Derek is the F'ing man to lay waist to that field. If I was Mariuz, I would be very very worried about WSM. -- |

Mariusz is a WSM specialist.........remember the weights are never that challenging. Although Derek is clearly the man to beat in all future comps. What a year he is having. |

I've now seen it all... I bet there's a couple of flying pigs waiting for me when I go out of my door... I think that next time they should try a contest with heavy weights for a change, and with a format that doesn't last for 100 hours. Not to take anything from Poundstone in any way, of course. Big congratulations to him! But I still think that this contest does not in any plausible way measure who the strongest really is. And I still think that the events and weights were chosen with certain interests in mind. One just has to see the coverage given to that contest by certain parties. Good performance by L.P Jean. Wenta was surprising as well, but he was expected to do OK in a competition with this format. Katona, Haugen, Filiou, Savoie and later Murumets abandoned due to health reasons. Koklyaev keeps battling an injured knee. I see that many are now writing Mariusz off regarding WSM, but it may be too soon to do that... |

Well done to Poundstone, Mariusz has got his work cut out trying for another WSM title. |
