This is my favorite strongman contest. Everything is heavy. The squat was a bit of a let down though. I was hoping for much bigger numbers. 961 wins the whole thing? WTF.

Looked like Caron had more in him. I feel like squatting to those boxes would fuck me up.

Caron looked like he was still warming up, probably had 1100 in him.

Heavy favorite to win a second WSM this year. What the hell happened to Tom Stoltman this year? I didnt Get to watch anything today. Injury?

Regarding Caron yes he made it look effortless but I’ve seen plenty of lifters smoke attempts and then jump another 50lbs and get stapled. He may be all explosive power but if he has a lower grinding gear a much bigger lift could have been there.

Well Tom won Britain's last weekend so he's probably tired, plus these weren't great events for him. Luke did pretty damn good tho so that's cool.
As far as your sentiment on jumping weights on squats ur totally right but he said to someone that he had hit in the gym and was prepared to hit well over 1,000lbs if need be.

Luke really surprised me especially in the log Lift. I haven’t followed him closely and did not know he had that kind of pressing power.

He's one of the best log pressers and it looked like he was primed to hit a world record today had he had another attempt. Happy for him either way. Seems like he's always in his brother's shadow and he showed everyone that ain't the case.

First time I’ve watched that stone to shoulder. Has to be the most difficult strongman lift.
