tom is most probably the most gifted strongman athlet ever - the "ease" with which he continues to get better, coping new movement patterns, getting stronger.... all the best Tom, stay healthy and uninjured.
Tom is my favorite strongman but that’s a big claim. There are a few different talents involved: Mitch is even more mind boggling in terms of how quickly he learns and masters new techniques. Thor and Z and next level in terms of how quickly they can gain and lose mass without sacrificing health or performance too much. Tom has both of those talents to a really high degree. A combination of mindset issues have held him back at times but he seems to keep getting better in that regard too. I don’t think it’s crazy to think both Tom and Mitch could approach the top tier of greats if they keep going but it’s a high mountain to climb given how much harder it is to stay consistent with the depth of the field increasing so much.
proud to have spoken to tom as he went pro, sponsored him and then watched him become awesome. If you get the opportunity, please do speak to him, he's a lovely wholesome guy and obviously an awesome inspiration as a strongman. If he does have a weakness, I think it's that he's been told for so long that he's so good that the mental events, like a hold, he struggles to focus and be as good as maybe he should be. I think having Mitch come in has been a wake up call for Tom, no one else in the UK is even close to just how good he is, and he's acknowledging and improving his few weaknesses.
Another great interview! What an incredible ambassador Loz is for the sport of strongman, so knowledgable. Also, Tom comes across brilliant in this interview, hope he smashes it!
Great interview and all strongman fans are looking forward to seeing the beast Tom is growing into compete against these incredible lineups. Best of luck and good health to Tom, Luke, and all the competitors!
I remember taking juice my confidence was over the roof even your voice and laughter gets deeper the longer and the more you take the more Confident you get 😊
I love watching Big Liz on RUclips his content is always good I'm glad to hear Tom has got his hunger back and focusing on the Arnold classic, I'm cheering for the Stoltman brothers
Tom needs a camera that's set-up to film the Scottish landscape just to fit into frame :-). Really excited to see how he goes this year, looking like a very spicy year!
If Tom wins Britain's, hes gonna be a handful at Arnold's. Since ive paid attention to strongman. Arnold's by far is gonna have the most talent overall. These guys are strong, but their will to win adds a whole other level. What a exciting time.
Tom stoltman will dominate the 2024 season he’s looking huge and super strong while still being fast on his feet . Respect from the stoltman brothers furthest fan Mandurah Western Australia 🇦🇺.
Atta.Boy Tom! Wow you can tell he has transformed into a totally better version of himself across all planes and not just physically which is paying dividends! Great work Tom I’ll be rooting for you Man! Good interview Loz! Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪
I honestly dont believe any of the current stronmen can stop Tom or Mich from being 1-2 on every comp they compete in this year. Only themselves can make that happen if it was down to poor prep or injuries. They are both next level athletes
@@ROARINGTYGERBut he can't get to help his deadlift it's been years and no signs of improvement by him on any event, He's doing the same as he was doing back in n 2019
I want to see all the guys do well stay injury free have a good year. But I would be lying if I didn't say I really want to see Big Tom come out on top
Great to see Tom with such a level head and hungry to compete, is he going to be at Worlds Strongest Man 2024 along with Thor, Licis, Hooper etc...? & anyone know when tickets drop for that? Arnolds will be great but can't wait for WSM 2024 after Arnolds!
Big Tommy suffered after taking that off, i can't wait to see what he can do. Having Thor coming back might be a problem as he has the same attributes as Tom but I want him to win all of the comps but theres some amazing competitors so i can't wait to see Tom win or podium if he doesn't get the win. Tom is my fav strongman and big Gav is one to watch
A hungry and motivated Tom Stoltman is a scary athlete. I think Thor, Lucis and Mitch Hooper as good as they are need to be at the top of their game otherwise Tom will topple them all.
I really think Tom has the potential to be one of the greatest strongmen of all time. I think he could get to a level like Thor in 2018. He is my favourite strongman just because of how he has managed to turn autism into his “super power”.
I'd like to see Tom get a second coach toearn powerlifting form. Imagine his overhead press with the ability to receive the weight in split stance. Zydrunas like numbers would be easy.
Tom the God of Stones is saying he is getting better and better. Let's make the stones starting at 200 kg and go up to 300 kg. Then again, that would hurt the other athletes and Tom would 1 move them anyway.
I am glad to see Tom being underestimated by the likes of Thor. Mitch seems to be the only athlete giving Tom recognition as a top spot contender and that brings the hunger we love from oor Tom. Alba gu brath ❤
@@patterdale4332Tom is cool deadlifter nowadays, but I highly doubt he is at the same level as Thor. Bjornsson pulled 440 kg raw few days ago. The best I’ve seen from Tom during this prep was 400x4 in a suit on standard bar. To me 440 raw on elephant bar replica seems superior. And Thor have 6 more weeks to improve, while Tom will take part in BSM. I think it will take some energy from him leading to ASC. In general I believe Tom will pull 440-445 at ASC, while Hafthor will pull 455-460 if nothing goes wrong.
Taking 7 months off? You got the reason right there why Tom never have been close to the podium at Arnold Classic. Mitch the moose, Licis and Thor seems stronger mentally and more focused than Tom so far.
So impressed with Tom's growth as an interview subject.
Isn't he nearly 30 now?
@@Lee-ic2yn You're saying that as if people were done growing at any age
@@Lee-ic2yn anxiety about public speaking doesn't care how old you are. You can watch his old interviews compared to this one and clearly see the immense work he has put into that aspect of being a world famous athlete
You could argue Tom's biggest transformation has been in his articulation. I remember when he was really nervous and quiet in front of the camera
Tom is a focused and dangerous man. My eyes are wide open in 2024. This is going to be a tremendously exciting year for strongman.

I think him, Hafthor , Mitch and mateusz (if he wasn't injury prone) had the best genetics
Thor is more gifted
@@hg_10sm68 yes, maybe, but I guess, at the end we are discussing about the difference in a single digit % area 🙂

honey come quick, the new Big Lolz video just dropped
I have never come so fast to be honest
Big Enough Loz!
I'm here
@@warrenchu5752 That could sound either very good or very bad. 🙃
@@espenstoro I was making a play on words. Very good would be the punchline
Tom always gives me the impression that if he had the right mindset he could wipe the floor with everyone 🤘😎🤘
Except he still has a lot to grow from, like, you can have the best mindset and never get a 500KG deadlift like he wants
Genuinely think he can reach 500Kg. He has the genetics and potential. It's all up to how much he wants it@@antoniocenteno1483
@@antoniocenteno1483he is built well for deadlift though. Those long arms help.
Tom needs a trainer like Mike Tyson had and he would set the bar higher for everyone than it ever was. 🇵🇱

I am a very proud scot. Always gonna cheer Tom & luke on, but Tom is such a humble guy
looking forward to watching Tom and his amazing mind set!!! Great content Loz

Tom is so much more confident than when I first became aware of him. His experience gives him a great foundation for his confidence.

Really excited to see how he goes this year, looking like a very spicy year!
Great interview Loz,,,,,,,what a lovely guy Tom is, so humble about everything.
Great interview. Nice to see Tom so focused. For sure going to win at Britain's and I hopefully on the podium at the Arnold's.
If Tom wins Britain's, hes gonna be a handful at Arnold's. Since ive paid attention to strongman. Arnold's by far is gonna have the most talent overall. These guys are strong, but their will to win adds a whole other level. What a exciting time.
Tom wiping up in all the majors this year.
Hope so 👍

Loz, great interview. Tom has progressed so far since I became a strongman fan a couple of years ago. I wish the boy all the best!
Big Tommy has matured so much since that young lad only a few years ago burst on to the strongman scene, keep smashing it big man
Atta.Boy Tom! Wow you can tell he has transformed into a totally better version of himself across all planes and not just physically which is paying dividends! Great work Tom I’ll be rooting for you Man! Good interview Loz! Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪

@@ROARINGTYGERBut he can't get to help his deadlift it's been years and no signs of improvement by him on any event, He's doing the same as he was doing back in n 2019
TOM up for podium 1st ; Awesome shape, reminds me a lot like Thor at his peak....... best of luck, go smash it Tom ! ;-)
Tom very open and honest about how his training is going, I think some competitors are going to be worried….
Love hearing the athletes thoughts straight from their mouth
Wow !! This Tom looks dangerous !! Oozing confidence !! Awesome ❤
Good luck to Tom at Arnold's! I'll be watching :)
Great interview, thank you. Sounds like Tom is ready for 2024. ❤
Man oh man Tom has matured so much and improved his training protocols, etc. it’s incredible! Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪
Excellent interview Big Loz!!!
if Tom wins this year with Mitch and Hafthor competing, that'll be one of the most impressive things I could imagine
Halfthor will not be 100% yet I don't think. Probably at the Rouge
@1vootman he has done an interview with Loz and his prediction was for him to win it so he claims to be close enough to 100%
Loads of podcast out now, with Irish Strength and Everything Strongman, plus the original and best Big Loz
Absolutly loved this❤
Super👍
C'mon, Big Tommy 🌶🏴🌶
Hi loz, nice to see you in the morning lol
I have great hopes for Tom!
Great interview 👍
Come on Tom✌
Go Tom!!!!!!! 💪
Can’t wait to see him in action.
Great content
Great interview loz
Good man Tom
I want to see all the guys do well stay injury free have a good year. But I would be lying if I didn't say I really want to see Big Tom come out on top
Would love to see the Tom win more competitions. I think with more coverage of other comps just winning WSM is not enough to be considered the best
This year is going to be absolutely FUCKING insane!!!! It's a level that is almost movie like in a way that makes it seem surreal.
The Arnold's is going to be absolutely wild. It's basically a champion of champions battle.
My money is on Mitch and Tom for 1and 2 but if Martins and Thor are healthy...and never count Evan out of it.
Great to see Tom with such a level head and hungry to compete, is he going to be at Worlds Strongest Man 2024 along with Thor, Licis, Hooper etc...? & anyone know when tickets drop for that? Arnolds will be great but can't wait for WSM 2024 after Arnolds!
Thor is not going back to WSM anytime soon, unless something dramatic changes on the organization's side
Tom is my best strongman and i believe that he is going to win all the big shows this year Luke is my 2nd best strongman come on the Scots
This must be the best ever line up for Britains.
Tom throwing shade at Lukes training is funny.
BSM is going to be epic!!! Can big Tommy win all 5 events???
He defo can. Last time (2021), his 150 Kg Axle press was just too easy
Will rogue have stones this year be good to see Tom and Thor battle it out.
Luke Richardson is out injured with a full tear of some hamstring tendon...
Great interview with Tom :D
Oh dear. He doesnt have much luck injury wise
Big Tommy suffered after taking that off, i can't wait to see what he can do. Having Thor coming back might be a problem as he has the same attributes as Tom but I want him to win all of the comps but theres some amazing competitors so i can't wait to see Tom win or podium if he doesn't get the win. Tom is my fav strongman and big Gav is one to watch
Tom has a better ability as a presser tho, also Tom I think was quicker than Thor in loading
What a year this is going to be. I think Evan is the dark horse to watch out for.
Britain's finest
love u 2
The mindset he’s in currently is fucking scary for the rest of the world
💪💪💪

Tom an mitch are gonna have a epic battles this year.
I can't see Tom being off a single podium this year, if he doesn't win them all.
Erry is er, big Tom Stoltman min, some size o' a heid min.
Yes
Luke's switch to a new coach will actually have a greater performance benefit to Tom than Luke.
I'd like to see Tom get a second coach toearn powerlifting form.
Imagine his overhead press with the ability to receive the weight in split stance.
Zydrunas like numbers would be easy.
Tbf to Luke he hasn't had best of performances either so maybe he needs to change himself as well
@warrenchu5752 powerlifting doesn't involve overhead press
Maybe warren meant weight lifting coach?
@@warrenchu5752I think tom has one of the best over heads atm anyway so not sure this would benefit him

Bit of an exaggeration Fred since his record is 286kg. 🤣

Can’t be WSM without winning Arnold’s
