>>41628468
Does he mention when he pins? I thought not

listen up retard he lifts so fucking heavy plus hes basicly obese so he only has enough energy for 1 thing

you are NOWHERE even close to his strength level, so dont compare yourself to him. Always baffles me when dyels copy advanced roiders

>benefits from biased judging because it's HIS TURN
Congrats mate

>>41628516
Thor fucked up that last rep. Also he really deserved to win, not because it was his turn, but he was the strongest man there.

>>41628468
Yeah, feel free to train like him. It's pretty effective, provided you can incline bench 585

>>41628468
Steroids greatly increase your recovery time, you can easily lift 6x a week or even every day if you want

>>41628468
This is actually common amongst top tier strongmen.

The reason WHY is that they train the events so much, no energy left for any more than each bodypart 1-2 times a week.

LOL NO

Eddie demolished everyone.

He was after thor, so he knew he only needed 15 reps. If Thor had done 15, Eddie wouldve done 16.

Now sit the fuck down and accept it.

Eddie Hall WSM 2017

>>41628634
Which they do, they do events.

The gym training is after all really only assistance for the events.

>>41628468

He's not basically obese he's morbidly obese because he has a BMI of 52.4 (185 ÷ 1.91^2 =52.4) and the definition of morbid obesity is a BMI of 40 or higher .Assuming his height and weight on Wikipedia are correct.

>>41628784
Which people would argue is muscle, not fat. Still though, that puts a retarded amount of strain on the heart.

>>41628516
Magnus Ver was the judge and he owns the gym Thor trains at. Eddie won fair and square.

>>41628810
He aimed to win WSM once and then cut down. He'll drop down to a lean 150kg

>>41628619
>>41628784
Obesity in people with a big amount of muscle can't be measured by BMI. But yeah, from the looks of it this guy as an unhealthy amount of fat, being strong and muscular doesn't mitigate the health risks of being a fatass.

>>41628855
Read the thread.

>>41628866
>weighing 190kg at 6'3 isn't healthy
no fucking shit. He knows himself how bad it is for him, that's why he's cutting now he's won WSM. He's still accomplished more at that size than almost anyone else.
Being the first man to deadlift half a ton is a bigger milestone than the 4 minute mile.

>>41628866
Yes, he pretty much has to sleep with a oxygen mask. Now that he won WSM, he's gonna cut and not gonna compete on WSM again.

>>41628875
I know, only airs December. But there's no other option?

I guess until then I'd need to use people's phone recordings.

>>41628950
Yep, there are vids of the events on youtube. Highlights include Shaw faceplanting after doing stones and Z nearly no-repping an overhead event.

>>41628950
None that I know of. Not that I care, I'm fine with knowing who won and waiting to watch the whole thing later. It's retarded but I've got bigger issues.

>>41628977
>Shaw faceplanting after doing stones
note to self: watch that part on repeat and kek like a retard

>>41628994
He did stones after injuring his hamstring again. That's becoming a bit of a habit for Beta Brian

>world's strongest man

Halfthor was cheated, it should have been a tie.

>>41629035
oh, I thought it was because of exhaustion or such. well, still fun to cackle at in schadenfreude (as much as I like him usually)

>>41629067
Yeah what is a "double dip" anyway?

>>41629067
No it shouldn't
1. Hall went after Thor in the Viking Press, so you don't know if he'd have done 16. In any case, it was a legit no rep. He clearly double dipped.
2. Hall took it easy on stones, waiting about 15-20 seconds to see if Shaw loaded the final stone. He got the 4th stone up quicker than Thor, if he'd tried the 5th straight away he might have even beat Thor on stones as well and won by several points instead of one.

>>41629123
In the Viking Press you aren't allowed to jerk the weight, it has to be a push or strict press. Thor was effectively push jerking his last few reps, and the last one got discounted.

>>41629123
not pressing straight up but going back down again ever so slightly to get it up with a bit of momentum (as in, OHP vs. push press). as far as I understood it.

>>41628486
Are you under the assumption that the other competitors in wsm are natty and that is the norm for that level of competition?

>>41629199
kek I fucked that one up, but I hope you got what I meant. >>41629175 beat me to it anyway.

>>41629199
wrong
push press is allowed. Double dip is a jerk, i.e. keeping the bar (viking press handle) at the same level and dipping under it with your body, i.e. "lifting yourself" under the bar

>>41628634
You don't need gear to lift six times a week. This is the only way I started getting bigger.

>>41629244
yeah I noticed and admitted my error in >>41629212 I had the right thing in mind but was distracted.

by posting related memes on another forum no less. life finds a way.

>>41629248
Your 6 day brosplit is not 6 days of intense strongman training. You definitely need gear for multiple events sessions per week on top of incredibly heavy normal lifting.

>>41628468
Nothing wrong with a split if you train enough days of the week.

It's just stupid if you train two or three days per week and then effectively only hit every muscle group once per week. You would be better of doing full body compound exercises on all two or three days instead so you hit each body group twice or thrice per week. Otherwise you are wasting gains, no muscle takes a week to recover.

>>41629206
No one implied that.

But what works for one ELITE level lifter on a mountain of gear wont work for novices/intermediates

>>41629265
to be fair, I was just pointing it out because if only strict would be allowed you wouldn't see any reps except maybe eddie doing 1-2

I think at the last WSM everyone was push pressing at the big barbell (?) press exercise whereas eddie just borderline strict pressed the 150 kg or so after cleaning it, he has insane pressing strength and it's good to see that honored this year

>>41628921
I love strongmen getting lean, Big Z and more recently Robert Oberst were instant goal bodies.

Eddie couldn't really push press for a long time due to knee trouble. His 216kg strict axle at Europes this year was ridiculously impressive. He nearly strict pressed a 220kg log a couple of years ago as well, locked it out but lost balance as he did.

The judges didn't throw it, but the organizers certainly put him in the best position to win. The events that weren't cherrypicked were modified to benefit him and he was put in the easiest group for the heats.

For the stones they eliminated the run up and lowered the platforms compared to previous years. In the viking press they changed the rules to allow you to stop and start.

Nothing damning on its own, but there were a lot of things this year that just so happened to favor him, and I'm not inclined to give the WSM organizers the benefit of the doubt since they have a history of pulling shady shit and pushing favorites. It's not even that the changes are bad, it's just asking a lot to assume they're all coincidences in context.

They got rid of the run up in stones and had level platforms a couple of years ago. I sort of agree with you regarding Viking Press rules, but that doesn't just benefit Eddie. If anything Viking Press as an event favours taller competitors

Most strongmen do what would be considered a bro split

Even a lot of powerlifters do a more planned out bro split (5 3 1, gzcl, j/t, ect)

>>41634600
and this saying comes from you extensive knowledge of training routines of powerlifters?
>inb4 broscience strikes again

>>41634639

Go on any forum that has a lot of powerlifters and you'll see that most of them run something along those lines.

Do you think they all run Texas method or some crap like that?

>>41630095
Probably decided he could be best at everything and failed.

>>41634979
>arnie

>>41635039
Sorry not what I meant, I meant that (in contrast) Arnie succeeded in multiple domains.

>>41634600
Reason for strongmen doing that is, if you actually listened to some interviews, is the event training.

Can't be expected to deadlift 3 times a week if you are doing farmers, yoke, stones etc every day.

As for "brosplits" in powerlifting almost all the best(read Russian) powerlifters do all the movements 2-6 times a week, or more.

Not saying that "brosplits" can't work, certain very good American powerlifters are proof of that. But it is in no way how a majority train. And for natty lifters, training "bro-splits" are most definitely not the way to go.

>>41634712
On Amerilard forums perhaps.

Russians do Sheiko-esque training pretty much all of them.

Most other Europeans do too. Norwegians (who are per capita probably the best PL nation in the world imo) squat, bench and deadlift between 3 to 6 times a week. Not very heavy though.

And I don't think brosplits are that common even amongst American lifters anymore.

>>41635214
There is no such thing a sheiko right?
Like you have to already be experienced as fuck and super well read to KNOW enough about your own body to program a strengt/bodybuilding/weight lifting program designed specifically for your body.

>>41635225
>There is no such thing a sheiko right?

what did he mean by this

>>41635063
As for Arnie, he worked out 6 times a week on a half-body split. No brosplit there.

Only reason top tier bodybuilders do bro-splits nowadays is because the insane roid levels. Plain and simple do not have to work that hard in the gym to get the gains with that much roids.

Nowadays the hard part about bodybuilding is the diet and the roiding.

WSM really needs to edit these comps and release them within two weeks of the events. I get that it's not possible to do live but delaying the show by 6 months is a little absurd.
