jvance Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I regretfully will not be able to make it to the Arnold this year... but I was wondering who is expected to win Mighty Mitts this year... I don't know if world class training feats translate into a great showing at the Arnold - but I have a hunch that Adam Glass is going to do very well this year... very well rounded for this type of contest anyone else have any insight here?

Good question - I'd say one of the Strongmen will win the Frame with Andrew right in there with him. The Medley is going to come down to speed I think with more than one guy doing all the objects. Endurance will enter into this as the ability to just go go go and not hit a level of fatigue that makes you miss an object will be key.

Stephen Ruby Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Probably mike Burke considering his domination at the last contest. He is also one of the best strongman in the world he won the americas strongest man contest last year. He apparently is one of the few strongman who takes grip training seriously. I will be rooting for adam and durniat though they are normal sized individuals and will be interesting to see how they place vs some of the best strength athletes in the world.

Eric Roussin Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm predicting Adam will win the medley, and Mike Burke will win the frame hold. I think both events will be competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IROC-Z Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'll be rooting for Andrew and Adam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickr104 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Just remember the pro Strongmen will have competed before they do mighty mitts. I think the frame will be close with Burke, Tex, Felix, and Andrew. Medley will be hard to call. I Wouldn't over look Brad or JL on the Medley. They are right there with Andrew all the way in training and a medley will fit Wades strength well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCoC Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Vegas must know about this one. All reasoning of possible winners seems logical with all competitors being brought closer together by a balanced array of grip tests. I think it will be a tighter mix than we think. There are giants AND giant slayers in the mix ...who will prevail.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjoe Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I predict Durniat or Burke to win! A. Glass in top 5! Last I heard Adam is really involved in BJJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Roussin Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I think they probably accomplished the same number of lifts, but Adam was the slowest to accomplish them, and Odd was the fastest. I'm not sure, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJG Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'm not sure how the scoring was done exactly. Sorry that I was a little of in the numbers..they were rounded and hot off the press so the exact points weren't posted yet. I'm Wades wife an thought I'd post the results since I had them!
