Chap still has more muscle mass than 80% of the forum.

Pretty sure that’s how @Pscarb trains chap. He will know quite a bit about it

He was on the reserve list for WSM and pulled out due to passport issues then as you say a few days later was in a coma. Very sad. I’m pretty sure his partner is ok health wise anyway. I’m sure she’s devastated though with his passing.

1. JF Caron / Oleksii Novikov 32pts 2. Jerry Pritchett 27pts 3. Adam Bishop 26pts 4. Tom Stoltman 23.5pts 5. Brian Shaw 22.5pts 6. Kevin Faries 22pts 7. Luke Richardson / Aivars Smaukstelis 15.5pt He luckily didn’t drop too much but it was a good chance to move up. He now has shaw and Faries within touching distance. Tom needs a few years yet before he is at the top. He is lacking in a few areas and at this level it shows. He is nowhere near licis/ mateusz etc.

Hercules hold event 4. 1. JF Caron 52.67 seconds 10pts 2. Kevin Faries 49.22 seconds 9pts 3. Jerry Pritchett 42.99 seconds 8pts 4. Oleksii Novikov 41.63 seconds 5. Luke Richardson 35.12 seconds 6. Brian Shaw 34.79 seconds 7. Adam Bishop 28.40 seconds 8. Aivars Smaukstellis 28.17 seconds 9.Tom Stoltman 21.23 seconds @Kazza61 maybe you could put spoilers in thread title incase some fcuker comes in the thread crying that he wanted to wait till Xmas to know the result.

He is one of the best at stones but not at log. Log press isn’t easy at 6’8 hence why shaw and Thor were never great at it.

Keg toss was won by Tom so he climbed a good bit up the leaderboard. Result after day 1 1. Oleksii Novikov 25pts 2. Adam Bishop / JF Caron 22pts 3. Tom Stoltman 21.5pts 4. Jerry Pritchett 19pts 5. Brian Shaw 17.5pts 6. Kevin Faires 13pts 7. Aivars Smaukstelis 12.5pts 8. Luke Richardson 9.5pts Events left are the Hercules hold, log ladder and stones. Still open who could take it. Felix is attempting to beat his own WR at Hercules hold. Man is inspiring. Let’s hope he gets it.

Also to add 2nd event was 18” deadlift. Novicov apparently pulled 537.5. World record if so.

SPOILERS Got a txt to say bishop has won first event. Also 2nd on 2nd event. Him, Pritchett and novikov top 3 in first 2 events. Hicks out with torn bicep.

It’s the TV producers that pick the events mate. Every event is based on their choice. What’s more exciting to watch etc. Even Colin Bryce has no real say in what the events will be.

Yea could see one from each group go through in this lineup. Cant remember a WSM being so open before. Although that is sadly due to the fact that last years top 3 aren’t there. Yea chap will be stone over bar for 3rd place.
