This is fantastic news. I can't be the only one who thought JF had suffered a career-ending injury. How exciting to see JF vs Uncle Loz in the Masters too!
How anyone can dislike it? Totally stoaked to see JF back in action, especially happy for him doing OSG masters. I was so worried, because he had not posted any gym footage of him since he has made first 70kg squats.
Big Loz and JF: the best strongman commentary team in the World! Both have great, in-depth knowledge of the events and the athletes and the history. Plus your personal interaction is very engaging.
I knew if was feeling good because he did the crazy eyes within the first 30 seconds of this video haha. And if has the craziest eyes ever of a strongman. Even Loz could do the crazy eyes back when he didn't have a beard. Jf however is a different breed of strongman to the guys nowadays. I reckon mvm classic will suit him to a tee.
He seems to watch everyone current and know his strongman history from memory... This pairing needs to happen 4x/year. Like now, more of these around the in-season!
JF is one of my favourites Talking Strongman. He's so interesting to listen to, knowledge off the scale. Fair, articulate, such a love for Strongman. Delighted to see he is on his way back.
So excited to watch this! Edit: Hearing about JF coming back is the best news I've had in ages. He's always been my favorite strongman, and knowing that he's not going to let such a devastating injury end his career is amazing.
JF is probably my favourite strongman too. I think the battle he and Jerry Pritchett had on the hummer tyre deadlift in 2020 is the best thing i've ever seen in strongman.
I'm so happy to see JF recovering well, and even better making his comeback! I know he thought, and I think we all did, that he was "done" after last year. The masters comp this year is going to be AMAZING - Loz, JF, Pritchett, and Zydrunas... Masters is just as exciting for me as the open this year!
JF himself was wrong, because he explicitely stated at that time: 'I don't think I will come back from that' (was a bit heartbreaking to hear such a declaration). Well , I don't want to be a harbringer of bad luck, but life is life, maybe time will show that he was right then and is wrong now :/ What I wish him most is full health... it's more important than superhuman strength
Excellent news! Be good to see Loz and JF head to head in the masters, that'll be the class to watch going forward I think. And lovely words from JF at the end there, I echo his sentiments, keep doing what you do Loz and Liz, the growth of strongman and strongwoman has a lot to thank you for! ❤
Glad to hear JF is making a comeback. JF you should pop in at the Shaw Classic break the Hummer Deadlift drop the mic, wave and walk out. Love watching your max lifts. All the best on your training. Also I’m sorry Uncle Loz that u have to compete against JF now. 😂
"Abs are not a sign of power, it is a sign that you don't eat enough" Tabarnac! JF coming back! Even if it is a farewell tour, but I don't think it is, I am so excited for him to come back after that injury. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Even though I really have no desire to go to the U.S. I may just plan a trip to OSG. Thanks to @Big Loz Official for bringing us the news.
To me one of the most important things about this channel is to learn more about the Athletes. When I watched WSM and the like in the past they where just some really strong guys lifting heavy but here I learn how likeable most of them are and that creates a deeper "bond"
I knew it! Would be such a shame if he just ended his career by such a nasty injury. It’s great to see him continue so he can eventually go out on his own terms
I absolutely love these conversations you have with JF. Feels like I’m listening to my uncles talk about the things they love around the dinner table. Love these!
Great to hear! This years WSM line up could only be more stacked if JF Caron was on it. He is sorely missed! To see him in deadlift comp with the levels now in Nakonechny, Rauno, Hooper, Bishop etc is too good to be true.
Finally had the time to listen through, I yelled like I was watching a big lift when JF announced he's coming back! JF is one of the best competitors strongman has ever had, it's great to see him getting the love he deserves. Probably my favorite guest you have on, too, so what a treat of an episode
I’ve only been following strongman for a couple of years, coming from a bodybuilding background. I became a HUGE fan of JF at the 2022 Arnold’s after his insanely dominant squat. Very happy to see him continue his legacy
Thank you for this chat! It was great to see JF. Watching him get injured at the Arnold's was horrifying and to know that he is strong and making a come back is nothing short of amazing. I wish him (and you) well in the Master's. I hope to be there to see it.
Hell yeah. To the 2 ppl said I was crazy about jf coming back,🤫( prev vid in the comments sec). Super excited, one of the best and one of my fav. Good luck big guy, can't wait.
The look on Uncle Loz’s face when JF said he’s doing the masters! 😬 so good to have JF back 🥹 and great knowledgeable entertaining chat, don’t leave it a year again!
As someone with Carons in my family from Quebec, Caron is my FAVORITE strongman!! Reviens nous vite JF! OMG and he's gonna be in Victoriaville?! That's where my mom's side is from! Hurrayyy!!!
I was just thinking about how shitty it was that JF was done and here he is pulling a Zydrunas only 20 years older. I’m pumped. I wish the absolute best to JF and his recovery. Especially after he finally puts in a podium position at Worlds. Would love to see him Top 5 at least in 2024, God Willing.
Addendum, having listened to the whole interview. I think I’ve been sleeping on Mitch Hooper especially given the more athletic direction of Worlds which I’m also thrilled about. My favorite year is 2000 which was probably the most athletic focused year. To me that was more in league with what David Webster wanted with that Donald Dinnie kind of format. I know I’m in a serious minority but I’m actually really tired of super heavy competitions. Don’t get me wrong, when Brian and Z started trading titles year after year, I loved that but I like to see things get shaken up. When JF was talking about a no heat format, it reminded me of 2004. Of course they probably went overboard that year. I think there was something crazy like 17 events. Everyone burnt out but the manic energy of Vasyl Virastyuk. Pavlo and Oleksii might be just prime examples of crazy Ukrainian determination. 🇺🇦 Given the events I’m favoring Oleksii, and Brian but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Aivars or Mitch Hooper on the podium.
good to see JF back training. In fact, saw that video with him truck pulling on some ice! what an incredible guest. JF is just as experienced speaking as he is strongman. really knows everything about the sport. have JF on more to talk strongman! that hour went by quick
Great Talk and great to see Talking Strongman is back! I hope there will be a few more Episodes in the Future, i think there are still some Legends missing like Mariusz, Ahola or maybe Heinz Ollesch? ;)
This is fantastic news. I can't be the only one who thought JF had suffered a career-ending injury. How exciting to see JF vs Uncle Loz in the Masters too!
Jf vs loz vs me too
Yeah man, I thought it was over for him after the Arnold's. I always think of JF Caron whenever I see a strongman from Canada. Love this guy.
I think it was pretty much a given that he was done. I think he said that himself. Marvelous work by him to actually recover so well.
Can I Thumbs Up this video 1,000,000 times?
I also want to like this 1000000000 times. ❤❤❤❤❤
I agree!! Great news!!! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
No but this comment reminded me to give it the thumbs up! Glad to see JF doing so well!
31:08 GOAT
One year after major leg surgery...casually "I hit 400kg deadlift"
Lozs face 👀
Lol...welcome back JF 💪🏾
And Loz's face at 4:08 when JF says he will compete at OSG Masters - LOL
Hehhe😂
Jf has always been a beast one of my favorite to watch over the years
I'm so glad to see JF in shape again. He is a great guy.
Hell yes! I missed him. Glad to see his comeback.
YES - a must-have fixture in the strongman world
How anyone can dislike it? Totally stoaked to see JF back in action, especially happy for him doing OSG masters. I was so worried, because he had not posted any gym footage of him since he has made first 70kg squats.
Amazing
Back to pulling 400kg deadlifts again already? Mind blowing!
And he reckons it's easy and he is training light 😂
Can't wait to see JF "abs are not a things of power" Caron compete again!
Big Loz and JF: the best strongman commentary team in the World! Both have great, in-depth knowledge of the events and the athletes and the history. Plus your personal interaction is very engaging.
Yes! Even more excited for this than Thors comeback.
I’ve missed the JF crazy eyes!
Better crazy eyes: JF or Kazmier 🤔
And the bone-chilling grunts!
I knew if was feeling good because he did the crazy eyes within the first 30 seconds of this video haha. And if has the craziest eyes ever of a strongman. Even Loz could do the crazy eyes back when he didn't have a beard. Jf however is a different breed of strongman to the guys nowadays. I reckon mvm classic will suit him to a tee.
Thors coming back?
JF Caron. Short for Just Fucking Carry On
He’s a phenomenal dude. I met him at the 2011 WSM. It’s crazy to see him back!
Jesus. Z, Rauno, Loz and JF all at the masters is going to be awesome
Every other masters competitor: Fuck!
I assume Felix too.
@@markheywood8236, Mark will be in the over 50 category.
@@michaelfrench9062 soon be over 60.
Vytatus Lalas is doing it too.
He seems to watch everyone current and know his strongman history from memory... This pairing needs to happen 4x/year. Like now, more of these around the in-season!
Couldn’t be happier to hear JF is feeling good
Fantastic news! Love JF and his no nonsense approach 👍🏻.
JF is one of my favourites Talking Strongman. He's so interesting to listen to, knowledge off the scale. Fair, articulate, such a love for Strongman. Delighted to see he is on his way back.
So excited to watch this! Edit: Hearing about JF coming back is the best news I've had in ages. He's always been my favorite strongman, and knowing that he's not going to let such a devastating injury end his career is amazing.

Best pre-eastern News ever 🎉🎉
So good to see JF again!

The masters comp this year is going to be AMAZING - Loz, JF, Pritchett, and Zydrunas... Masters is just as exciting for me as the open this year!
It could turn into a bloodbath since all of those guys are known for being quite strong willed, especially z vs jf.
That look at 0:17..........
JF's back baby!!!
Missed those crazy eyes 😂
Could listen to JF for hours, interesting guy
I still remember watching that live when he got that nasty injury. I really did not think he would come back from that. I am so happy I was wrong.
JF himself was wrong, because he explicitely stated at that time: 'I don't think I will come back from that' (was a bit heartbreaking to hear such a declaration). Well , I don't want to be a harbringer of bad luck, but life is life, maybe time will show that he was right then and is wrong now :/ What I wish him most is full health... it's more important than superhuman strength

I'm literally tearing up. We love you JF
Glad to hear JF is making a comeback. JF you should pop in at the Shaw Classic break the Hummer Deadlift drop the mic, wave and walk out. Love watching your max lifts. All the best on your training. Also I’m sorry Uncle Loz that u have to compete against JF now. 😂
This hits me in the feels. I'm so happy to see JF back!!
❤❤❤ I looooved this - thank you for catching up with JF, we have missed him ❤❤❤
Many thumbs up for this legend.
So happy to hear it. Mitch and JF potentially together in the finals! GO CANADA.
"Abs are not a sign of power, it is a sign that you don't eat enough"
Tabarnac! JF coming back! Even if it is a farewell tour, but I don't think it is, I am so excited for him to come back after that injury. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Even though I really have no desire to go to the U.S. I may just plan a trip to OSG.
Thanks to @Big Loz Official for bringing us the news.
Such awesome news!!!! Can't wait to see JF compete again!
Yesssssss! Miss you JF!
To me one of the most important things about this channel is to learn more about the Athletes. When I watched WSM and the like in the past they where just some really strong guys lifting heavy but here I learn how likeable most of them are and that creates a deeper "bond"
Everyone loves JF!
2012 WSM JF in a group with Big Z & Poundstone and JF putting out Derek 💪 JF is great for the sport 🙏
Great to see JF back in competition again!
Let's goo best news all day🎉
Love JF, hes my inspiration
Great news! 👍💪💪🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I knew it! Would be such a shame if he just ended his career by such a nasty injury. It’s great to see him continue so he can eventually go out on his own terms
I absolutely love these conversations you have with JF. Feels like I’m listening to my uncles talk about the things they love around the dinner table. Love these!

To see him in deadlift comp with the levels now in Nakonechny, Rauno, Hooper, Bishop etc is too good to be true.
And if Martins was in it
@@simondean5227 ah yes, deffo Licis!
Welcome back, JF!
God I love JF he’s such a beast
I think even if Brian wins it, Big Z is the goat since he has double the ASC of Brian
So happy he's making a come back. Genuinely one of the best and nicest dudes in the game. 2024 will be one he'll of a year 💪.
God bless you JF.
That’s genuinely wonderful News - JF is a great Bloke & I wish him all the very best in his endeavours 🙏🏼🤨☝️🔥
Finally had the time to listen through, I yelled like I was watching a big lift when JF announced he's coming back! JF is one of the best competitors strongman has ever had, it's great to see him getting the love he deserves. Probably my favorite guest you have on, too, so what a treat of an episode
So that was the best strongman news in a while. I'm so happy for JF. He deserves to go out in a better way.
I’ve only been following strongman for a couple of years, coming from a bodybuilding background. I became a HUGE fan of JF at the 2022 Arnold’s after his insanely dominant squat. Very happy to see him continue his legacy
As a Canadian strongman fan this has been a bonkers year, Hooper wins the Arnold, JF announces a come back, what could be next?
Hooper wins WSM 😂🤣
Canada gets rid of Bitch McBlackface, takes a lesson from the US & pushes for independence & secured freedoms?
Awesome to hear, like Christmas came early.
Huge fan of JF! I am so happy he is coming back! What a treasure to the sport! I can’t lie, since he will be at OSG, he is my pick.
Thank goodness, love this guy. His squat at the 2022 Arnold classic right before his accident was legendary, probably one of my favorite lifts ever.
JF is my favourite! An amazing strongman, and clearly, a great guy! Very happy to hear this news.
Chats with Caron are always the best. The guy is so knowledgable about the sport and all current athletes. Welcome back Caron!!! One of my favourites
Just incredible. The man is built from stone! Such good news.
I wish him all the BEST, JF CARON always a class act!
Thank you for this chat! It was great to see JF. Watching him get injured at the Arnold's was horrifying and to know that he is strong and making a come back is nothing short of amazing. I wish him (and you) well in the Master's. I hope to be there to see it.
Great to see JF 🎉🎉
This is awesome. JF is an unbelievable strongman. I feel like moving to Canada and get coached by Caron.
This is great! I'm so happy to see JF recovering so well. Already at 400kg DL!
JF is the man
This makes me happy. I always liked JF as a competitor, but I really started following him after the 2020 Shaw Classic.
God damn that made my day. Or my whole weekend even.
I’m SO happy to see JF healthy and extremely excited for the comeback 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Yeah I’m excited
Omg this news make my week!! As a fan fron Quebec, JF is our hometown hero🔥🔥🔥
Great seeing Jf smiling the nicest guy in strong man for sure and be fantastic too see him compete one more time👍
Let's go JF! I knew you'd be back 😊
Hell yeah. To the 2 ppl said I was crazy about jf coming back,🤫( prev vid in the comments sec). Super excited, one of the best and one of my fav. Good luck big guy, can't wait.
Great News👏👏
The look on Uncle Loz’s face when JF said he’s doing the masters! 😬 so good to have JF back 🥹 and great knowledgeable entertaining chat, don’t leave it a year again!
I was hoping you were going to catch up with J.F.! If he says he's going to put in the work, I believe we'll see him at world's next year! 😁👍
Close podium finish is long gone i fear, but final hopefully!
Who would have thought JF.C would one day be considered one of the strongest and his longevity is insane. He up there there
Awesome interview, Loz !! I've missed JF on the circuit !! True Beast 🎉
JF is just the nicest guy ever. So well-spoken too and just enjoys the sport in all its forms.
Fantastic news, super happy for JF
Adorable❤ plus putting in the hard work❤
Strong people are the nicest I swear!
This is amazing! This news has made my wife and I so happy. The man is a strongman institution! Will be amazing to see you back on the field again!
As someone with Carons in my family from Quebec, Caron is my FAVORITE strongman!! Reviens nous vite JF!
OMG and he's gonna be in Victoriaville?! That's where my mom's side is from! Hurrayyy!!!

Awesome to hear
So good to see JF doing well and hearing he's coming back to strongman!
Very happy to see J. F. back training and wanting to compete. I have seen him in person several times in Canada competing. Good Luck.
So happy to see JF back. And thank you for this avenue to hear him speak, he always has so much insight into the sport
Best news I have heard so far this year.
Wow, never expected this. Great news!
Big Loz, thank you for reaching out to JF, he has such a legacy, but watching, I see he has a future in strong man, I am so happy for him!
Gave this video a thumbs up before it even started
Woooo!!!! Great news!!
Awesome!!!!
