This year's contest may be decided by the Leader's Advantage, which is legitimate. An athlete competes later in each event the higher their ranking. This indicates that they are fully aware of the statistics they must surpass.
For instance, Hooper only needed to pull 975 pounds to win the 18" Max Deadlift since the highest lift before he took the stage was 970 pounds. No speculating. No energy was squandered.
Following his victory at the 2023 WSM, Mitchell Hooper told Colosseum Strength that Leader's Advantage was worth six points. That year, he prevailed by 4.5 points. Do the maths: a title run can be made or broken by your position as the top seed.
