He paused for 15 seconds on the last one because he knew he didnt need to come in 1st place. He smoked Shaw.

>>41675137
Not gonna say anything about 2017, but in general Strongman has been much less interesting in recent years. If it were up to me, there would be no special apparatus for lifting anything. No barbells ever, no Smith machine, no bars coming out of cars. Maybe keep ropes around. All the lifts are of objects. Logs with no handles cut in them, stones (maybe even natural stones), portcullis deadlifts, loading races (with stairs/water/complex environs). Balance, grip, skill, and endurance are as much a part of narrativistic strength as muscle strength is, if not more. Progressively eliminating any part of the lifts that doesn't measure pure muscular power is gonna turn the sport into powerlifting-with-cooler-lifts.

I want to buy a castle somewhere with a forest and river nearby, and turn it into the ultimate athletics game gauntlet. I would refurbish it for climbability, and put all sorts of tools like ropes and ladders everywhere (still heavy for difficulty in handling, maybe put some of the ladders in places difficult to retrieve from).

Then I would fill the place objectives. When the game starts, your team has a certain amount of points. These points are being deducted from every second by an amount equal to the total Value of all the objectives. When you complete and objective, it's Value is set to zero. The game ends when your points hit zero. You're going for the longest time possible, or the quickest completion of all the objectives. These are distinct categories.

The objectives are things like loading and firing ballistae (that have been made difficult to access, or difficult to access ammunition for), taking various heavy objects various places (sometimes through heavy portcullises, up tall walls), raising a heavy drawbridge, etc.

Tremendous acrobatics/strength both make certain things possible, make certain things quicker by enabling different strategies ("need to get these barrels outta the castle, instead of taking them all the way through the castle to the front door one by one, I'll just take this rope, climb up the rampart, and pull each barrel up and over the wall with your help").

No "no lift". Real strength, teamwork, an incentive to have good gymnastics and endurance as well as the ability to deadlift 900+lbs (a reason to have robust team composition). I think this would be an interesting game.

Eddie hall is the best deadlifter of all time but not squatter.

Ray & Jezza are both way better squatters
https://www.instagram.com/p/BNmxIzNBN_I/

Also Andrey Malanichev & Blaine Summers are also probably better squatters

>>41676633

With "Everyone" he means all the other WSM competitors.

>What is context

>>41676633
>Still not understanding what the word 'basically' means

I didn't say he WAS the best in both, just that he blows the vast, vast majority out of the water in both ('basically') except for a few freaks in the squat

>>41676534
Implying that Hall wouldn't surpass him if he trained just for PL like Ray does and not for the WSM? lol

It's a stupid thing to say. You could say the same thing about Ray
"both are good though, and it doesn't matter because Ray blows basically everyone out of the water at both"
He has a 392.5kg world record WADA approved raw deadlift in competition. What's Hall's best raw deadlift without wraps?

>>41676680

>implying hall's training doesn't already mostly consist of squat, bench and deadlift
Just go on his facebook page and see. Hall already does all his squatting raw but to compete against ray he'd have to lose the straps and single ply suit for deadlift but still he'd break the record easily if his grip is good. Also pass drug testing which strongman doesn't have.

>>41676680
Hall will never squat more than Jezza or Ray
Hall will never bench more than Kirill Sarychev or Eric Spoto
Hall could probably take the raw deadlift record though

Of course more complicated and flashy lifts are more impressive, but the discussion is about what's the best test of strength. Most people wouldn't even recommend to try to do power cleans if you don't have a coach because it's so form heavy. Using a complicated exercise rather a simple one is more a test of skill than strength.
