maybe the reason he's so good at the other events is because his deadlift is so weak. with certain individuals strength potential can sometimes be maxed out in certain areas at the expense of other areas
@@Technique-kj2bp If I remeber rightly, he had some lower back issues in the past which affected his deadlift. I don't think it's due to him being overly developed in any other events as such. He has still deadlifted over 400kg, which would be considered elite level in any other context. If he could just get up to a consistent 440kg he would probably not be dropping so many points in that event.
@@1milliondogs yeah I've heard about his back issues but I still have a feeling if he improved his deadlift we'd see other areas of his game take a hit as a result. I imagine he knows it as well and that's why he's not made any attempt to improve his deadlift by any significant amount for years
I am so happy Mateusz is finally truly back to near-peak form. He's had such a hard time. He was so close to winning a major competition so many times and he has been extremely unlucky with injuries. Finally some redemption for this great athlete.
Mateusz is so much like his countryman Pudz... unbelievably good at everything but a little crippled by his deadlift. i really really want to see him win a WSM
Odd Haugen comes over at 26:47 👊 Mateusz and then says on the mic 'called it the Matuesz stone' Massive compliment considering it is Mr Haugen's stone!
Imo Arnold Classic staff should help Mateusz with setting up the final stone after every rep, like they did in 2018/2019. Maybe we'd see a 4th rep right there.
Kieliszkowki tackled that with all the built up anger... he willed himself to knock it out of the park. Amazing athlete. He always looks so unsure like he is seeking approval from someone... I believe standing ovation was all the approval he needed!
@@flesz_ Mega-cringe. Like Mitch is an awesome athlete, but his hubris definitely got the better of him in that moment. That's why I like Mateusz, just seems like a super humble and calm guy.
@@Bear_Feces It's not hubris when you're almost 12 points ahead of second place and won back to back Arnold's as a rookie. Even if Mateusz won the elephant bar deadlift he'd still be second place. Humble and calm doesn't mean much when Mitch has accomplished more as a strongman in 2 years than Mateusz has in his entire strongman career.
22:22 Mateusz Kieliszkowski 26:00 pose 26:23 Mark Henry bowing down 26:38 Arnold's congratulations 26:52 Odd Haugen saying: "Call it the Mateusz stone"
Nobody deserves to be an Arnold Champion like Mateusz Kieliszkowski💪 One Day He Will do This. He is absolutely tremendous athlete. Arnolds Shake Hands tell us This is a Big History!💪💪💪
Been a strongman fan since i was little, watched all the greats, and Hooper is just unbelievable. So far he's right up there with the best of them, reminds me some of Jon Pall Sigmarsson: The way he exploded onto the scene with extraordinary all-around strength and athleticism. Who knows if he can keep it going for many years like Shaw, Pudzienowski etc but this is as good a early career showing as we've ever seen
Well done Hafthor, you gave that stone 3 tries. It's just a matter of a few months until you heal completely and conquer these stones... Koma Svo Hafthor!
Man,let's give it up for kieliszowski.what an absolute machine.lucky for them that this competition doesn't consist of more stone lifts like this.great job brother.
While I'm sure it's not the finish Hafthor wanted, it's damn good good considering he's coming off a potentially career ending injury and a four year hiatus. Hooper is obviously legit, but can't help but think he's lucked out to not have competed during the Shaw/Thor/Hall era as well as Martins and Mateusz coming off serious injuries too.
that can be said about literally any champion. Shaw only started winning when Savickas was getting older, THor won when Shaw started to decline etc. While the fact is Hooper is the most dominant champion this sport ever saw.
Hooper just broke the 180kg apollos axel and dinnie stone record and was awfully close to breaking the timber carry world record if he didn't break it, in this comp alone.
@mark4lev I don't think it's physically possible for anyone on stage right now, mateusz if he raises his deadlift would be great, cant ever count thor out of course and only Tom can challenge on his best day. Mitch is nowhere near his peak he's not even 30 I'm sure
Not gonna lie, Mitch Hooper getting Arnold out of his seat to watch him lift the stone and then not be able to lift the stone was pretty cringe. He's an awesome athlete and he deserves the title, but his pride definitely got the better of him in that instance.
True that, he's a flog lol... not to mention he incline chest pressed the stone... and it was accepted.. meanwhile the strong athletes were actually trying to lift overhead.
Tom Stoltman 2 successful attempts and fail with 186 kg stone before even first try Halfthor Bjornsson 1st stone 3 attempts and total FAIL 0 reps Mitchell Hooper 2 successful attempts and fail with 186 kg stone before even first try Mateusz Kieliszkowski HOLD MY STONE , 5 successful reps. and he posed at last 5th attempt for the best photo of all Arnold Strong ever ONEMAN SHOW of the whole event
I didn't want to admit, but Hooper proved he deserved everything he's achieved; great job Hooper. And is great to see Mateusz nearly at his peak again!
@Rogue Fitness You should definitely implement these 3 mighty challenges for these monster strongmen. 1- Carry a 350 pound Civil War cannon on your shoulder for 50 yards or more without dropping it. 2- Dinnie stones. Hold them for as long as possible without dropping them once. No walking is allowed. 3- Carry a 1433 pound log on your back for a mere five steps. It could be good if the log has the same diametre everywhere, hence it is not built like a cone.
Hoooooper looks like a dad that went to see the show with his family,tried strong man and won lol I can’t wait to see what he’s going to do in the future.
Jerry's behavior when Kieliszkowski was lifting the stones says it all - he's just genuinly supportng Mateusz and wishes him to commplete each lift. Just compare to other commmpetitors,
Сделайте поднятие камня отдельным соревновательным упражнением и Матеус келисковски не даст никому шанса на Стронгман. А если честно немного обидно что не везёт из года в года Матеус немного до первого места. Но думаю это только мотивирует его на феноменальные результаты. Матеус лучший. У это бесспорно.
30:48 yes rob! Your 100 percent right! The polish legend is not mentioned enough in commentary! Pudzianowski!! People overlook how switched on he was and how he could overcome and out think his weaknesses
Love seeing Kieliszkowski doing his thing and come into his own territory. What a performance! He's not happy with his deadlift yet but 800 is still super strong. Maybe if he does specialised training and simplifies the all-round training he could improve it further to the top level. But the stones show him superior to all others. Hafthor is weak in comparison as is Mitchell Hooper and Stoltman.
This was a super-odd event to end the competition. I get that ASC doesn't want to copy WSM with the typical stone-off, but it feels like that went to extreme to the other end with a stone press and odd-shaped implement at the end (that most competitors couldn't even rep once). Took away from the drama of the final outcome when Mitch knew nothing was really at stake after most competitors laid an egg before him.
It was hard to see Thor unable to lift that first stone which he easily threw up the last time he won the Arnold Classific. Thor is the only other person besides Mateusz who has lifted the 3rd stone two or more times.
I’m telling y’all Mateusz is going to be top 1 one day. I’ve been watching him for the last 5 years and this guy is unstoppable. He tore his tricep and couldn’t even workout for a months. Then he torn it again and got bacterial infection after unprofessional surgery. Finally after the third surgery everything has been fine so far 🙏 we see those titans on the stages but they all fight with many different problems we don’t even know about. Hafthór is another great example. Feel so sorry for him. Wish them the best 🫡
Knew there was a tricep tear but didn't know all that, thanks for commenting. That puts everything even more into perspective. If he stays injury free and gets his deadlift up to par, he would be in a whole different league. Dude's already such a monster though, all the respect.
Poor martins 😞 just could not get going at all in this comp.. seeing how frustrated he looked im guessing hes not as in condition as he thought he was 😕
@@joebot9309 yep your right, i certainly believe in people doing what they love and taking different opportunities.. but you have to understand that comes with compromises.. he looked so frustrated it looked like he was expecting a lot more which like u pointed out, was that really ever going to happen? U can't have your cake and eat it! As the saying goes! 😂 It was always like oberst , he would always come in to events expecting to do amazing but he never seems to take his fitness and health seriously.. so he would do one decent lift totally gas out or get injured (I'll be honest it got so bad with him I kinda got annoyed that they kept letting him compete over competitors that took things a lot more serious) Now Martin's I don't think is bad like that, but, he likes his flights of fancy and when you're competing at this level the cracks will start to show.

I swear if Kieliszkowski gets his Deadlift up, he's gonna be unstoppable. He's the strongest man to never win World's Strongest Man
maybe the reason he's so good at the other events is because his deadlift is so weak. with certain individuals strength potential can sometimes be maxed out in certain areas at the expense of other areas
If hafþor completely comes back from his Pec-tear he will be on the Throne again.

Honestly if you can do an event 4 times that others can not do even once there shld be double points.

Very smart of Hooper to stop after 2 stones as he had already won.....
Pudzianowski nawet jak już wygrał. I tak lubił potwierdzić swoją dominację i wygrać ostatnia konkurencję, nawet gdy nie musiał.
If Kieliszkowski manages to reach a constant at least +/- 950 "ish", constantly on his deadlift, he will be unreachable.
