We already have a thread dedicated to these people. It's call a fat hate thread.

My predictions for top three are as follows

Brian Shaw. Hes been far to consistent.

Hafthor. Provided hes in good shape at the time, acting is cutting into his training time it seems.

Eddie Hall. Hes slow af, but his power is insane. He trained for deadlift specifically and shattered the WR so I think if he prepares he can make top three, maybe second if Hafthor isn't in great condition.

That being said, I badly want Hafthor to win. Huge fanboy of his ever since he fucking exploded onto the scene.

That being said I wouldn't be too insanely surprised if Eddie didn't make it in place of some dark horse no name.

I've also been meaning to ask if anything things the sport may be growing because of the attention Hafthor as Gregor in game of thrones may have drawn to it? Interested to hear opinions.

Today I learned no one gives a shit about strongman. RIP thread.

Hathor has done basically nothing to bring people in to the sport.

The single biggest influx to Strongman in the last decade has been through Crossfit defectors coming in and the way that's forced promoters and feds to start considering the weight classes more.

dude like 6 of the top 8 this year in botswana are under 30, he's still 27, i guarantee you he has brought new people into it

>>38574089

And I guarantee you that, in all my time training and competing in Strongman, I've never heard a single person say Hathor had anything to do with them getting into the sport.

tfw no strongman bf

i dont compete but i didnt give a fuck about it until he came in. someone that young and lean in legit chances to win the last 3 years, he's definitely positive for the sport.

>>38573366
is this guy fat, or not?

What's a typical drug cocktail look like for these guys?

>>38575809
builtfat i guess

Brian shaw already confirmed winner of wsm2016 u doofuses

>>38573490
Bullshit. I've tried sporadically over the years and get flak for it every time. Us strongman trainees need our own thread.

In positive news, PR on zerchers and yoke for yours truly.

>>38578050
Correct, but it doesn't air until December so don't ruin the results for him friend.

>>38573306
>is it too early
About 3 weeks too late you utter lizard

Eddie is pretty fat as strongmen go. Ridiculously strong, but nowhere near athletic enough to win WSM. He needs to lose a few stone or I seriously worry about his health
