>Everything will be weighed on camera, calibrated plates on log and DL, Big Z will be head judge and they preferably want both side AND front angle if possible. Big Z wants pictures and videos before the events of all the equipment. For the max attempts: 60 second timer from stepping up on the platform. Also Z allows 12-15 minutes break between attempts to simulate powerlifting competition.
>Max deadlift: 4 tries (i.e. 4 jumps). Figure 8 straps and suit allowed. Texas DL bar. Big Z will be head judge on the deadlift with Magnus being in-house referee. Full lockout obviously and down signal according to referee's commands. Deadlift AMRAP: similar to above but with DEAD stop between reps.
>Max log: 12 inch diameter, 8 ft long, 32 mm thick handles, handles 2 ft apart and the log it self weighes 142,5 kg. Wait for down signal and head need to be through as well as everything fully locked out.
>Giant dumbbell: NO double sleeves allowed, Fully extend the arm, stable lockout and locked out legs and wait for signal from Z. Giant dumbbell for reps: Similar to above. Amrap within 75 seconds. Z wants max 10 inches high platform to drop the dumbbell on.
Eddie and the history channel boys on suicide watch
All Im saying is that a world record attempt that intentionally surpasses the previous by less than 2,5% is bullshit. It shouldnt be allowed
John Mitchell
I don't get it, Big Z is reffing Thors DL now? I thought he said it was bullshit. Not to mention that Magnus was reffing before and is much more experienced
Samuel Rodriguez

This has nothing to do with thors attempt. This is a project by big Zed
Jeremiah Martin
I honestly don't give a fuck about any of this strongman drama. All I care about is watching guys lift fuckhuge weights. Everything else literally does not matter.
Parker Cook
in other words,you are retarded
Grayson Gutierrez
what like when Eddie set a new axle press World Record at 216kg/476lbs at Europe's Strongest Man 2017. Surpassing Žydrūnas Savickas old record of 215kg/473lbs.
Luis Scott
Eddie's constant asshurt is ironically helping WUS with making their record attempts more legit calibrated plates, the GOAT as head judge, and securing another place so that the "homegym lift" excuse does not stand anymore
John Cox
sorry I've been away. what is this drama? Eddie is mad that people are trying to beat him in a sport? why is there drama at all? are they bored that their events are canceled and just trying to drum up attention?
Z could've broken that, almost certainly. For some reason he barely touched the Axle in competition after 2010. His log increased by some 20kg since that time. His 500lb log looked alot more impressive than Eddie's 507 attempt. Gotta give it to Eddie though, he was one hell of a strongman. Obviously his deadlift was #1 in the world, and his overhead was only a little behind Z's. I have Z for the GOAT but Eddie is right up there despite how quickly his probably much more extreme cycle trashed his body

Pre 2017 Thor and Eddie were buddies.
In 2017 WSM Thor was a huge premadonna. He got called for bad form in viking press, lost a rep. He waited until after Eddie had gone, beating his total by one rep (instead of more, to save energy), and only then did Thor and his crew harangue the judges about Thor's previously disallowed rep, in an attempt to have it revised one up, giving him a tie with Eddie. This gamesmanship was regarded as underhanded and bad sport by Eddie and everyone else. If he had succeeded, Eddie may have not been given the trophy because it was a very close competition. Afterwards, Thor went on social media and accused WSM of conspiring to help Eddie win. In his favor, 2017 WSM was a conspicuously an unusally static strength oriented lineup of events, which clearly favors Eddie's advantages.
Eddie was fairly genial about the beef on sm, but did capitalize on the attention, challenging Thor to a boxing match that didn't happen.
Thor has been chasing Eddie's 500kg, and very well might beat it. His dl has been improving astronomically over the last 5 years. Eddie has been super salty and bitter about it on youtube, facebook, twitter, accusing Thor and the Icelandics of being cheaters, and complaining about the understandably sketchy circumstances under which Thor was intending to set the new wr. Other big figures in strongman weighed in: Z and Shaw namely, stating that official wr should not be allowed at home gyms, must be done in competitions.
Now a competition venue has been made available for Thor to beat Eddie's legacy, which he can never recover because he is retired and his bones and hormones are done.
I'm not into strongman but I visited Thor's gym in Iceland and actually met him, dude actually went up to me and made some small talk, had been talking to a regular there and he must've said to him I was in fan girl shock mode kek he had one boxing bag with a photo of eddie's face and I thought it was just banter
Luke Turner
oh thanks. sound more like Eddie is spending too much time on social media now that he's retired
Bentley Robinson
Based Big Z wins at life again. GOAT strongman, roiding hard for 30 years with zero side effects, hot wife, smart and rich. Meanwhile faggot Edward will die at 39.
Cooper Perry
LOL
How big is he in person? Cool of him to come chat with a peasant. Alot of celebrities get burnt out on that
Thomas Reyes
What were you doing in that shithole basement in bumfuck nowhere Iceland if you're not into strongman
Charles Collins
Don't think his cycle was so extreme, just because of that. He went off, lost weight, looks clean and healthy, no palumboism. Whatever Z was taking, apparently he went real easy on slin and hgh, or god knows what else
Asher Garcia
It's the biggest thing he's got atm really. His fixation on Arnold and breaking into hollywood/TV hasn't panned out to the extent he was hoping. There's just not a big market for it, and his crappy physique doesn't help.
Samuel Reyes
>buh buh buh you can't just BEAT a record >you have to beat it by my arbitrary number You're soooo fucking retarded, holy shit. So what are gymnasts supposed to say when they beat the top score by 0.009? >"yeah sorry mate, we like our competitors to win by a wider margin, so get off the fookin podium" Lmao, Eddie dicksuckers are ridiculous.
Kevin Phillips
I meant roiding hard because he is a strongman, but yes probably healthier than Edward.
Aaron Hall
Bubka should have beaten the world record in pole vaulting by 30 cm and then never improve it again.S-M-R-T.
Grayson Thomas
I'd like to know what all these dudes are on. Thor's looking a little fucked up, too. Not sure how long he'll be able to stay on top before burnout
Parker Turner
>Don't think his cycle was so extreme Dude what the fuck are you smoking? All those big fat fucks are on a shitload of roids. The things that keep those old/retired guys are: genetics, a whole life of fitness, loads of good food, etc. Also not popping half a gram of trenbolone or masteron for sick gains like bodybuilders probably helps too.
Dylan Robinson
strength doesn't require nearly as much roids as size
Caleb Howard
magnus is still ref but big z is head judge and it sounds like he’s gonna be remote and not actually there for the attempt, but he’ll be watching from multiple angles to ensure everything is good and fair.
James Reed
>Strongmen >Not taking tren for strength
Pants of head
Nathaniel Reyes
He's pretty massive, I'm around 176cm-177cm for reference Yeah and it was more than just a "hello how are you ? nice bye" Also, the number they have for the gym must be his personal home number because I passed by the day before and it was closed so I called the number that was on google and the fucker itself picked up kek
well I went to iceland for 2 weeks so I could go around all of the island and just had to pass by, while I don't watch strongman regularly I used to catch it at home on eurosports or even at the gym and it's pretty nice to watch but I'm just more into olympic weighlitfting
What do you know. There's so much shit out there now, most of it we don't even know the names. It's unreasonable to assume they're all on the same cycle, all willing to take the same risks to their life
Christopher Gutierrez
Thor looks the worst of them all. Could pass for 55. Will definitely die before 40.
Nicholas Brooks
>strength doesn't require nearly as much roids as size Retard alert.
Adrian Young
>Also, the number they have for the gym must be his personal home number because I passed by the day before and it was closed so I called the number that was on google and the fucker itself picked up kek lol
Nolan Sullivan
So they're taking roids made in a russian/chinese bathtub nowadays. Got it.
