Ron, sticky this!
With just 2 events of the qualifying rounds left, here are the unofficial scores so far; more to come as it unfolds. The final is due to occur next Wednesday and Thursday.
The British guys are having a great comp; it looks like the top spots in the final will be an IMMENSE battle between the following huge names: Brian Shaw (US), Derek Poundstone (US), Big Loz Shahlaei (UK), Terry Hollands (UK), Zydrunas Savickas (Lithuania) and Mark Felix (UK)
With Vytautas Lalas, Jack McIntosh and Ervin Katona also blazing the heats, this years WSM is slated to be the best of all time; that cannot be understated here, its fucking immense!!
Travis Ortmyer has dropped out injured.
Just for context, both Lalas and Shahlaei have squatted 300KG/660lb for 10; Shahlaei has also done 250KG/550lb for sixteen!!
As said, two events of the qualifier heats are left, but here are the scores so far:
Group 1

Bjornsson 15.5

To emphasize the above point, this years WSM features AT LEAST four 900lb deadlifters:Zydrunas Savickas:
Terry Hollands:
Brian Shaw:
Laurence Shahlaei:
With guys like Jack McIntosh and Derek Poundstone also in there (Mcintosh is a 400kg deadlifter, and I think Derek is likewise?) the final is going ot be BRUTAL.

It has to be said, but when looking at the tiny tits raving about the "Olympia homo fest" when this stuff is taking place, it really does speak volumes about Getbig in general LOL
