Brenden Day to be honest Terry Hollands is kind of a gatekeeper. his problem is that when he bombs he bombs hard. Look at Shaw and Big Z, even when it’s their worst event they’re almost never outside of the top 3, maybeee top 4, but for Terry it’s not uncommon to see him finish almost in dead last sometimes. Those points prove to be very costly. Even when he comes on really strong, it seems like he’s always just 1 event away from dropping 3 spots
@@NirsterkurNot many are big wins for Thor only 1 WSM and 3 Arnold, Whereas Brain has 2 Shaw Classic, 4 WSM, 3 Arnold's, Thor could've won so much more than he did.
Kaz might have had the most impressive shoulder pressing strength when he was in WSM but man it might be a tie...big Z always come in with machine like pressing power. Wow
I am a men French and excuse me but i speak no good English! I'm live in FRANCE....Yes Paris "The Tour Eiffel ;-) " It is February 10, 2019 but I am a very very very very big fan of BRIAN SHAW but I discovered it only 3 months ago so since I look for two to three hours before going to sleep these videos on youtube !! And I think he is incredible because he is one of the strongest men on this planet Earth but at the same time, when I see him speak, answer questions from journalists, and even if another strong man come to him to look for stories so that Brian gets carried away or gets upset, and no Brian will stay calm because he is very very strong physically but he is also very very strong mentally and he is the most intelligent of all the strong man! And he is a very very good dad! it's the best :-) Au revoir à tous Bises From France :-)
a variety of characters from all walks of life.... Brian Oldfield for crissakes! and the events were much more interesting..... I'd love to see these guys doing the bar bend
never understood why WSM uses these little handles to tear their fucking hands to shreads and on the first event at that to fuck up the entire competition because you can't actually see how strong someone is with ripped up hands
Okay, I've been binge watching these competitions and hear Savickas' name being pronounced as SavicKas and SaviSkas. Could someone from Lithuania tell me which is right?
Big Z was the strongest man that year. He won the deadlift and the press events. WSM isn't just a strength competition. I would like to see a pure strength competition, all static, nothing mobile.
@@julesmarti7382 yeah everything eddie says is that hes the deadlift world record, he won 1 WSM for a tiny margin and thinkk hes the strongest man of all time, hes kinda pathetic tbh
I really do like Hafthor but it took him 8 tries to win worlds. Big Z, 4 tries. B. Shaw, 3 times. 2009 - 3rd 2010 - 2nd 2011 - 1st Shaw is the strongest human to have ever lived .
Zydrunas couldn't compete in 4 straight WSMs in his prime because of internal politics, and was top 2 in every other one over a span of 14 years. 8 Arnold's when no one else has more than 3. Shaw is awesome, and the second best ever, but big Z is the GOAT by a wide margin.
Z is the greatest by a Margin, Z also had 6 second places at WSM and he couldn't compete during 2005-7, He would've wom twice more atleast if he could.
Why not just give them wider fucking grips for the frame carry? I hate that the event basically comes down to whose hands will rip, and then the competitors who're unfortunate have their whole weekend negatively affected. Just make the grips proper and make the thing heavier or have them go farther. Seems pretty basic.
Big Z fans: Marius's generation was weak Big Z has the biggest press so he is the strongest. Bro! Two of the five times Marius won it was against Big Z
There was nobody stronger than Jon Pall Sigmarson! Look up for the cartwheels deadlift, over 500 kilo with a rectangular bar! He will always be the strongest unless someone picks up a higher wait under same circumstances and conditions! He broke Khasmeijer and the world record in one day!
@@-Erebus he definitely isn't tho . He was majorly hyped up every year but was never a legitimate threat ! He did manage 3rd in 2007 but that was the cream of the crop he kinda got lucky
Here after hearing Brian Shaw retired. Thank you Brian Shaw for an amazing career in WSM. Truly one of the goats of the sport.
Totally agree
Will be interesting to see how Hafþór fares in the next few years. He was only 22 there and he's got at least ten years left in him!
You predict it man!
He won.
I think he might do okay.
He's a bum. No way he goes anywhere.
right in the spot
Thor looked older then than he does now, so weird to see him in a competition but not focus on him as a contender for every event
Hair transplant and weight loss is why he looks younger now.

So is MMA
Because this sport is consindered oddly.
Iv grown to like Terry H.
Not the strongest but hes still one of the best amd hes a good sport
they are good sports :D all of the people i watched compete here only one was egoistic and arogant.. forgot his name

nice job spoiling the answer.
It's like a lottery -- you pay to call.
Terry Hollands is very underrated. I don't think many people know how close he has gotten time and time again to winning.
If only he had finished 1-st competition...
Andrew Potapenkoff 2013 he had a really good shot at it but injured himself when he was in second place halfway through. Always thought he was such a good sport.

That this man would dethrone Žydrūnas Savickas in his prime not just here, but two additional times, just shows you how legendary Brian Shaw has been.
watching Big Z and Shaw battle it out over years was super entertaining -- great athletes!
Hafthor improved 20x. His progression is so apparent visiting back these old WSM contests.
But he could have or more like should have won more competitions due to bad choices
@@darylkanofski9327He has won more competitions than Brian Shaw.

Zydrunas performance in log lift showed how much gap between him and Brian in shoulder power
Doesn't really say much though, Žydrūnas Savickas is the strongest overhead presser to ever live. That's still a fair event for Shaw.
Big Z broke all the log press records many times. Best presser of all time.
Thanks for putting this up. Made my day.
Nearly every time the camera is on Big Z: 😲😬😲😬😲
A body that big he has to ventilate.
Kaz might have had the most impressive shoulder pressing strength when he was in WSM but man it might be a tie...big Z always come in with machine like pressing power. Wow
That would be an epic showdown. Both are healthy and in their primes. I would have to put my money on Big Z, though.

That farmers carry just seems like there’s gotta be a way to adjust it so guys don’t shred their hands
On a worlds strongest man marathon and gotta admit the world's strongest man that were back in 1978 were so much better to watch
a variety of characters from all walks of life.... Brian Oldfield for crissakes! and the events were much more interesting..... I'd love to see these guys doing the bar bend
The early ones were fun and light-hearted; the later ones were quite serious and strongman by that time had become a real sport.
I guess no one had ever heard of gloves.
My thoughts exactly. I think Shaw would go on to use gloves years later.
never understood why WSM uses these little handles to tear their fucking hands to shreads and on the first event at that to fuck up the entire competition because you can't actually see how strong someone is with ripped up hands
just this year happened to Mitchell Hooper. He destroyed his hands in a similar event, which was also the first one in the final.
Great show-shame about the phone scam.
It's certainly a very busy period for international relations.
Thanks again for the informative video!
Can they not use gloves for the first carry!? Or does it impede them? Or just not allowed? THANKS!!
I’m not totally sure but most of it is for grip so they might not want competitors using grip help
ZYDRUNAS SAVICKAS AKA STRONGEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED

I'm not from Lithuania, but you can hear him say, when he introduces himself, as SaviTSkas. None of the above. :D
Look at the depth in quality of the field. Unbelievable. Easily the best ever
Ladies and gentleman, the Shaw era begins on this day
Big Z was the strongest man that year. He won the deadlift and the press events. WSM isn't just a strength competition. I would like to see a pure strength competition, all static, nothing mobile.
Shaw classic for more static events; also see Arnold classic and Fortissimus

Big Z on the log press is insane
I really do like Hafthor but it took him 8 tries to win worlds. Big Z, 4 tries. B. Shaw, 3 times.

TOM MAGEE CANADA, WORLD RECORD DEADLIFT UNTIL Olekseii Novikov BROKE IT. 37 YEAR RECORD !!!
Big Z doing 10 reps on log is crazy
I love how they still ask will their tall height be an advantage or disadvantage to give the illusion short guys even have a chance at this.
Lol well being (relatively) shorter does help for some events. Like deadlifting, Brian's extreme height actually hurts him there.
Marius was 6/6’1 and he won it more than anyone 😂
You cant compare Marius to mortals.
Dusty Barker true true the guy was off the scale
Big Z fans: Marius's generation was weak Big Z has the biggest press so he is the strongest.
Bro! Two of the five times Marius won it was against Big Z
and very strong in deadlifts
Who would you be more scared of if you got pulled over, Derek Poundstone or Ronnie Coleman?
I would love to be pulled over by them to be able to tell the story. I would ask for a selfie with them.
Hafthor looks older here than in 2024.
There was nobody stronger than Jon Pall Sigmarson! Look up for the cartwheels deadlift, over 500 kilo with a rectangular bar! He will always be the strongest unless someone picks up a higher wait under same circumstances and conditions! He broke Khasmeijer and the world record in one day!

His heart exploded and he passed away, Such an amazing rise he had Coming out of nowhere and beating Brian and Vytautas in the Arnolds hand winning.
Whos here cause of his insta post
27:30 badass moment
Deadlifting in the rain that's insanely dangerous !
Jenkins was the strongest that year such an unfortunate injury
Nine years later and they are lifting more reps and heavier... who would have thought that?
At what lift? definitely not overhead
Strongman evolved, plus PEDS are probably better now -- and statistically a greater field of athletes due to expanding world population
Good body but she isn't a patch on Philipa Forester.
sad indeed
How would have tought thor will lift 501 for WR by 10 years
Yea he was a real amateur here .but u could tell by his build he was going places
