Eddie Hall - World's Strongest Man 2017

[Cyrilsneer]

I was surprised to learn that it's John Hall's kid.

Do they drug test these freaks?

 

[Mr Whippy]

Chuffed for Eddie like. Shame we've got to wait until Xmas to watch it!!

Do they drug test these freaks?

No. It's an untested competition and it's generally acknowledged they're all using PEDs.

So it's whoever can get there hands on the best gear who wins then

No. But if that's how you think it works then that holds true for loads of tested sports, including football.

Whoever wins is the person with the greatest genetic potential, the best training, the best nutrition, the best recovery, the best technique etc'.

Been refreshing the pages all day to keep up to date, chuffed for him. A 472.5kg dead, one event from the last with a stiff bar is insane.

Thor has proper chucked his toys out of the pram. Always the bridesmaid

There was some controversy over the Viking press event apparently?

Retiring from wsm, which I'd guess is the right choice, he's not naturally as big as the others and he'll be thinking about curtailing his gear now

It'd be interesting to see him turn his hand to powerlifting.

That twerp can't deadlift 50kg, let alonene 500kg.

Thor's 15th and final rep wasn't giving for a double dip, looked ok to me but apparently hall hit 15 relatively easy so would have done 16 if needed

Been on IG questioning the integrity of the sport but apparently deleted all of his comments now.

I can't decide whether I like Thor or not. He's obviously cool as fuck as the mountain and that but he's a bit too in your face alot of the time. Wadnt tell him that mind.

My back is getting better now, been training with a few BPU champions lately as well it's been great

 

[Boris Bear]

He'll definitely retire now. If he keeps going he'll not see 40

Well done to the lad. Didn't think he'd ever be able to make up for the genetic advantages of Thor and Shaw

Challenge him to a pull up contest.

He's not retiring completely, only from wsm. Said he'll still be on the uk scene.

I don't do them anymore mate. Basically I completed them so no point continuing and moved on.

 

[Lammy]

Chuffed to bits for him mind! Beast

Much like Eddie you have conquered the world and now want another avenue

 

[oROSSo]

Lot of people saying licis was very good as a newcomer, could be the new challenger to Thor who will probably win next year. Shaw, although he came 3rd apparently is noticeably slipping

The similarities are uncanny now that you've mentioned it mate.
