BTW, Mr. Klavetter - I do see the point of your original post. It's nice to see someone else a little more "seasoned" on here. lol Thanks for not taking offense.

No offense taken. The fact that people get offended and can't have respective discussions anymore is a whole other topic but if I continue with these serious topics Jared is going to ban me so all I have to say is go Big Z. I actually wish Travis would win because he and Dave O. are probably the nicest guys in Pro strongman today (that I have met anyway). I do take offense to "Mr." comment though.

so what is bigger- strongman, or, the integrity of our police force(or lack there of)? It is unfortunate he chose a profession such as being a cop. His credibility IMO goes right down the drain (as a cop).
This isn't to say people are doing far worse things out there. That still does not make it right by any means.
They rag on this guy because he has zero humility. It's hard to like someone who is all "me me me" 24/7. I think it is Z's time- he has paid his dues much more than poundstone. after z gets one, then I'd be ok with derek getting one.

and I hate being that guy that is a "Hater." Believe me- I know many of the top guys in sports do have ego's that are unbelievable, and that is part of what makes them great. But, most are humble and not nearly as full of themselves(from the impressions I get).
It's just my opinion- I'd just rather see someone else win it. Say Pudzianowski(again- just hoping for top 5), or Z

It's not just cops or government. Doctors who smoke and eat crap will rag on you all day about your habits. Especially if they are habits that they dont follow and may be somewhat controversial. I.E. eating 2lbs of red meat a day or using AAS. Dad, in all fairness you don't really know how Derek is as a cop. He may be that cop who trys to stay cool because he is aware of his size, slight fame and activities outside the law (speculation). Derek may be an asshole cop or he may be that cop that pulls a guy over and finds a joint and just tosses and lets the guy go. I remember the first year of the Arnold Derek was saying he wasnt in love with his cop job and he was hoping to make enough in strongman to walk away from that career. That says to me that he isnt an ate up cop who has a chip on his shoulder. Just a counterpoint old man.
Back on track. Z is killing it. He is faster and stronger than everyone out there. Scary site for team Pudzian.

pudzian .5pts away from z, shaw 3rd, poundstone 4th.
that damn plane pull killed mariusz, places 2-6 were separated by less than 1 second, and mariusz got 5th.. that sucks as it is proven mariusz is unbelievable in this event and could have been a separation event. maybe lost 2-3 points here

pudz has the deadlift. I guarantee he will pull a first in that but hes gonna have to concede the stone to Shaw.

how can you give that to him? coming off a torn bicep that is 1 lift you can't push and IMO 1 lift that can go bad fast. idk... derek should be fresh and z will be hungry as ever. IF he wins it, he will only win by 1 rep, and, idk- i think z derek and pudz will be within 2 reps of each other.
gosh this is awesome. I Bet everyones respect level for pudz is incredible now. the guy is supposively "over the hump" 5x wsm, torn bicep, <300lbs.. and losing by .5pts to savickas the almighty god of strongman, and beating poundstone(self proclaimed god of strongman hehe)? come on pudz
