What I love about Martins is that, when you're watching his training videos, you get the impression that he is not taking anything too seriously. He's not putting the effort in. But then, you see him competing, someone has flicked a switch! And it's Intensity level to the MAX!
@Hidde de Roos Martins is great at stones, but I don't know if he will beat Tom Stoltman on that event ever again. Tom is even younger than Martins and has done nothing but improve on every event, including stones. Don't forget Tom also set the record for the 100-200kg ten stone run at WUS 2019.
My thoughts all the time - Martins is currently the WSM. Doesn't matter who says otherwise but WSM always has been the most prestigious title in strongman sports!
Not to take anything away from Martins but it's safe to say that Thor would have won WSM 2019 if he didn't get injured. Just look at how he has dominated from 2018-2020. Just look at the Arnold Classic this year
Technically he was not the strongest. This isn’t so much about strongest anymore. It’s more and more about athletics. And if Thor didn’t have a bad foot he would have won. Thor is by far the strongest by literal definition.
@@Pugilistspecialist You are not the strongest if you break. That's the nature of competing. "If" doesn't exist. You have to do it, all the way. But of course Thor was stronger, for me Thor is the strongest man ever walked the earth.
Martins is an amazing all-around strongman, character and ambassador for the sport. Don’t think I’d call him the absolute strongest man in the world though
Martins is the kind of guy that will get 3rd place on every event and end up winning the show with his consistency. I’d say Hafthor is easily the strongest man in the world if he would continue on with strongman
Honestly, Martins isn't the absolute strongest person alive (that's probably Hafthor)... But he is certainly the most powerful, his strength combined with his athleticism and endurance are only rivaled by Mateusz.
I hope Martins gets his nerve damage under control, keep in mind, he got 3th at ASC this year and beat Brain Shaw at a ASC qualifier while being injured. Many people already wrote him of, just because he didnt performe as good after WSM'19 (altough he placed at least 3th in everything he competed in), but i think as soon as he gets is nerve damage under control, it will be a hell of a battle between him, Marteusz and the Stoltman Brothers in future competitions!
I think the nerve damage in his shoulder & triceps is pretty much gone. He just set a strict press volume PR recently. His main issue now is his hamstring, which is also healing.
I'm hoping Martins is healthy so he can have a repeat victory at WSM. But injuries suck and need time to heal and then even more time to get the strength back. I'm just getting my strength back after having tendonitis on both arms on both sides of the elbows. Hopefully my tendons have not only healed, but can handle me working my way back to heavy workouts.
Yeah, he isn't the strongest if by STRONGEST you mean who could lift the heaviest loaded barbell. Fortunately, some people got together and came up with this weird idea of "Strongman competitions" to judge strength on its multiple modalities. It's as if all olympic track & field athletes came together in 1 competition to judge their overall athleticism but some people kept arguing how the last winner isn't actually the most athletic one because such or such jumps longer or runs faster. Sure. And I don't get where did some got this idea that 2019 was "too dynamic". It had 3 static events (deadlift, overhead and squat) over 5 total. And he won by a margin.
The insane thing is that Martins is DEFINITELY on less roids than all other competitors. Hafthor has weak genetics, Eddie has quite good but not 140kg+ genetics, Brian does have good genetics and Oberst has good genetics. But Martins has by far the best genetics and thus doesn't need as much roids as the others, making him the ultimate strongman
Hafthor has the best genetics out of all the guys you've mentioned what the hell are you talking about? LOL Oberst? you mean chicken legs who can't deadlift for shit?
Thanks for the laugh mate. Thor has bad genetics 😂😂 also, how can you possibly know what Martins takes without him disclosing? You can't so what you've just said isnt true.
Always nice to see a tribute to my favorite strongman, Mateusz.
🤣
Hahaha 😂
True ;)
lol
Your favorite... weak
Great to give him the credit that he deserves, especially when he doesn't go out of his way to do it himself.
tryingtobenice fucking so true!

Martin's just looks like the real deal Hercules
Thor more so than Hercules imo💪
People say Tom Stoltman is the king of Stones or perhaps Thor but Martins beat them and everyone else at WSM 2019 and Gigants Live Wembley 2019...
@Hidde de Roos mateuz had done it in 16.1 sec in england
No one will come close to Stoltman with stones anymore. Maybe Mateusz, but that's a hard maybe

The past is the past. You certainly won't ever see Martins beat Tom Stoltman at stones NOW, lol.
Brian shaw is a monster with stones. He's tried to break the records before but the arnolds weren't interested.

@@JHMninja89 No, he was not. The strongest was injured.

“What’s up everybody.” Martiiiiinssss!

Who would you call the strongest then
Samuel Before I would say thor but now since he’s training for the boxing match it would be between brian shaw and mateuz kieliskovsky
bubble cheese you forget martins clapped Brian out of qualifying for the Arnold this year?
@@jeffbitchtits243 rauno saved his ass.

I love this! Martins deserves more credit!
Your editing skills are insane
Great video with my favorite strongman!
I hope he will recover enough through this corona recovery time and starts banging.
It’s because he’s always warming up those rotator cuffs.
Honestly, Martins isn't the absolute strongest person alive (that's probably Hafthor)... But he is certainly the most powerful, his strength combined with his athleticism and endurance are only rivaled by Mateusz.
Yes, I agree. His athleticism and endurance are only surpassed by Mateusz.
@@lastsonofkrypton3918 but Martin's has better static strength so he typically edges out mateauz with that
RJ absolute rubbish. Thor was one point behind Z at WSM 2014 weighing 400
@@Dave_UL Yes, I agree. Mateusz does have better static strength.
This aged EXTREMELY well. Martins won two major events this year already. Let's see if he can get WSM again this year.
Great video all the way around
Awesome competitor and very deserving winner!
This is awesome! Love Martins!
MARTINS!👏🏻👏🏻 big homie doesn’t even look that bad pulling these INSANE lifts and feats of strength
Martins doesn’t need to win to be everyone’s favorite. No one will forget Martins
Oh I didn’t forget. MARTINS!
HELL FUCKING YEAH!
THE DRAGON!
The purest of all REAL strongmen.
Amazing video man I loved it
This vid gave me goosebumps
Funny, charismatic, humble and of course STRONG
Absolutely. Mateusz is great like that.
This got me so hype lol great video!
The BOSS! Love you, Martins!
Music used?
NEVER FORGET!
Does anyone know what song this is?
I hope Martins gets his nerve damage under control, keep in mind, he got 3th at ASC this year and beat Brain Shaw at a ASC qualifier while being injured.

I love Martins. He’s great.
That music at the start was perfect. I could imagine him hauling some huge machine gun in some action movie
Although of course, we all know that personality wise, Martins is a super friendly guy who wouldn't hurt a fly.
I got Magnus ver Magnuson vibes from this montage. Pretty cool.
Martins is the funniest of all the strongmen too
Ed is hilarious, tough call....
Luke Stoltman makes me laugh the most.
you have a verry cool channel- i like it 👍

Mateusz is coming.
It's good to be king!
HE'S HERE! HE'S THERE! HE'S EVERY FUCKING WHERE! MARTINS! MARTINS!

People were not complaining that it was too dynamic. But rather that the dynamic events were too light.
@@JHMninja89 My bad, that wasn't my impression.. I still don't see a significant bias in that direction, compared to most previous competitions.
MARTIIIIIIIINS!!👊🏼
Eddie Hall, Big Z, Brain Shaw, Halfthor, Marius Pudjenowski, Magnus Ver Magnuson, Novikov, Bill Kazmaier, John Paul Sigmusson are my top picks!
I think he will win again this year
When will we ever get a Big Z and Brian video of ever ? Those two legends deserve one too don’t ya think.
This was like an epic Godzilla trailer
Damn what is this music?
It's between Martins or Mateusz
hopefully he comes better and stronger this year. last year was pretty rough for him.
Are u black or is that some rapper?
Dannynorw it’s biggie
Tyler Vincent bruh i thought you were talking to me i was about to say they the same person 😂
Maaaartiiiiiiiiiiiiins 🍊🔥🐲
Epic
Martin is king, but Mateusz is the prince and he will take the throne
Arthur?
Martinnnnns 💪
0:15 Did my man just say sharted?? 😂😂
Fuck yea , that’s just made me want to go and pick something up heavy ....King ...gotta admit that got me 😀
MAAAARTIIIiiiiiIIIIINS!!!!!
Just a friendly reminder
MARTINS!
One wsm win and he's a king... Meanwhile Brian Shaw is out to get his 5th wsm title...
Yeah I love those youngins, but Shaw getting #5 would make me so happy.
DRAGON!!!
Martins!
I Hope he joins the Half Tonne deadlift club ,
Too far
Unfortunately people like drama and Martin is the furthest thing from it. Eddie and hathor are where the views are
Martiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiins!
I agree with this video, Mateusz ia the king
But he's a Queen.
MARTINS
I like Martins alot but the king of strongman is Zydrunas Savickas.
Martins can thank covid for extending his reign an extra 6 months
Martins is the best strongman athlete. Hafthor is the strongest man on earth.
hes no more the strongest. the diet took its toll.
Yea not Thor. This man is greater.
He is my most hated winner. The competition is world strongest man not worlds fastest/fittest strong man
Jesus is king!
.... he only won because fucking Thor was injured lol wtf he is not the king
To train in a garage is not very helpful for the wsm
I'm not impressed that fans of strongman competition won't demand P.E.D.'s be banned from use.

Idk how the hell he won Wsm
