i agree, but man kaz was the man. So for that alone i put wsm close but still a distant second to IFSA. PLus the whole lifting in a frozen building with ice cold aluminum blocks thats just.... cool
that's because WSM, back in kaz's day, what was the IFSA is now. watch the old specials from the 1980's they did lifts for singles. silver dollar deadlift, log press, etc. now it's long farmer's walks and fireman's carries or log press for reps where the winner gets 17. i'm far more impressed with savickas's 440 single than someone doing 20 reps with a light log.
and for the record, when savickas entered WSM he got 2nd over and over. when pudz entered the IFSA he barely cracked top five. food for thought.
