Just seen this guy watching old WSM What a lovely lovely guy. acted politely, thanked the interviewer, all the signs of a true sportsman and gentleman. well done mate!
This man is an absolute beast, i can see him dominating the wsm circuit for a few years. I would have loved to have seen this man up against Mariusz, both in their prime, that would have been awesome.
Whatever, if you people wanna live in size-doesn't-mean-anything fantasy land and worship the ground this guy walks on, that's your business. I'll take someone like Jouko Ahola who accomplished so much with so much less over Shaw anyday, who won two titles despite weighing around 270-ish, unlike Shrek here who has EVERY POSSIBLE ADVANTAGE and should be considered an absolute failure for any contest he doesn't win. Thanks for shopping.
@krakistophales Just trying to point out the elephant-in-room that no one seems to notice....... he's having success because he's so big and heavy. He ought to be finishing near or at the top in everything he enters because he outweighs alot of his opponents by more than 100 lbs. He's not as great as a lot of people are making him out to be when you consider his lifts versus other strongmen on a lb-for-lb basis.
@TheVrominator Strongman isn't about pound for pound. When two guys tie, they don't look at the guy's bodyweight, but only second place finishes. It's all about amount of weight lifted and reps fulfilled and time in which something was completed, not "wilks points" or bodyweight or whatever other shit lighter guys figure out to pretend they're stronger.
@krakistophales I understand that, and it perplexes me that in pro strongman the idea of having weight classes just gets thrown out the window, as opposed to amateur contests where you can have a 175, 200, 231, 265, etc. contest. It's why the heavyweight boxing champion won't fight the welterweight champion, the outcome is already known. A good big man always beats a good little man. We'll just have to disagree on the lb-for-lb argument. At WSM this year, I'm rooting for Rauno Heinla :)
@TheVrominator Well, in the case of boxing or MMA fighting, weight classes make sense, because a 250 lbs pure muscle monster will stomp all over even a 180 lbs or 155 lbs guy. However, for strongman, where the object is competing against someone else's reps/time/total weight, who cares about weight class? If you're strong enough, you're strong enough, if you aren't, you aren't.
BTW, who's rauno heinla? Sounds like a Finn. Why not root for the big Z? Don't think he can pull a 3rd?
@TheVrominator Do you lift weights? Do you know how hard it is to keep increasing in strength, even when you increase in size? If you did, then I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be whining about this issue.
@TirumphantAce "Do you know how hard it is to keep increasing in strength even when you increase size..." What??? Do you live on earth? Size increase and strength increases go HAND IN HAND, added bodyweight and mass is an ASSET, not a liability in lifting more weight. Again, Shaw isn't THAT good, he's just been bigger than everyone until now, case closed. Anyway, he's gonna get beaten at his own game by Bjornsson of Iceland, who is even MORE massive and just needs a few years to mature.
@TheVrominator Actually, they don't go "hand in hand." Not by a long shot. Once you get to the point were you are lifting the weights that this man is lifting, one can only do so much by increasing size. I know and everyone else who lifts knows this because we've all tried the "get bigger to lift more" strategy and it isn't that simple. What is more important is a finely tuned CNS, perfect technique, perfect programming, and perfect rest. Size is merely part of it. Your understanding is lacking.
Only in theory. He may have to lift it higher but at the same time he has longer, bigger muscles so it evens itself out. But in Atlas Stones and Fingals Fingers the shorter athletes are at a real disadvantage
Good luck this year 'Big Shaw'! The title is yours. Went to Americas Strongest Man last week, Ortmayer looks strong too. But I believe you are the man to beat.
what's the name of the song in the end?
