Will this, finally, be Derek Poundstone’s year?

[mugzy]

Poundstone looks like he is ready, and he is healthy. The greatest strongmen in the world come to America next week to find out who among them is truly the strongest man in the world. Whats your thoughts? I think its his year......

I hope you are right about Derek. I'm also pulling the homer card for Colorado's own Brian Shaw.

Big Z has my vote.Derek has had a hell of a game plan this year and is coming in strong.But my vote has to go to Z.Shaw is in phenomenal shape this year as is ortimeyer.I say two americans will be in the top three.

Barring any sudden case of diarrhea he's the man for sure...

Guy is a monster...he came close a couple times didnt he?

He was so disapointing last year, his showing was horrible. I was expecting so much more from him, the guy is a MONSTER and should have beat Pudz 2 or 3 years ago.

What are the events this year? They really favored Z last 2 years, hitting right in his beast areas.

I know there is a thread from back in June that said when and where this will be held, but could someone please post that info up in this thread? I'm taking a couple weeks vacation soon and would like to check out a couple of days of events if possible. I'll be sure to get some sweet pics if I make it and post them up. And if anybody else is planning on going, post up in this thread and we'll see about a little TID reunion.

Derek was overtrained last year.Though Big Z has my vote I really think if Derek played his cards right this year he will be back in the game.
