The voice over segue at 2:06 into Aivars saying "This is my stretching" was comedy gold. Right up there with JF saying "Abs is not a thing of power. It just mean you not eat enough" when asked why strongmen don't have abs showing.
Every single video from you seems like a well produced, high production value movie. Not sure who does your video formats and edits them but whoever it is, is legit!
Brilliant content, Mārtiņ! Greetings from a fellow Latvian. It's been a pleasure to follow your journey for a while now. I wish you great success going forward, no doubt you'll smash your goals. On a side note, It's a shame that Latvian media aren't reporting on your achievements... IMHO, more people deserve to know more about your journey and title wins!
They gotta be doing this as some kinda show pitch?? Like test see how popular it is and then get a food network or travel network show? This is like anthony bourdain meets strong man and i fkn love it..
I love this series. You guys are doing a great job! It's got a little bit of everything - lifting, food, history, culture, people - wonderful to see a different view of the world!
Aivars is such an underrated Strongman. Such a nice and positive guy. He instantly became one of my favourite Strongmen after I first saw him in a WUS comp.
my gym here in Germany has the same brand of plates Aivar's has, so seeing you guys warming up with 3 reds on each side while I was over the moon when I squatted with my first red felt even crazier than usual
Kind of the same with the leg press, watching them do 5+ reps at my 1 rep max like it was nothing...then adding a big man on top of that for more 9 more is ridiculous
Really well produced, and I'm glad you're sharing with all of us the time spent back home. As an Italian who moved to Latvia 5 years ago, I am constantly fascinated by this beautiful country and its people's connection to nature. Looking forward to the next episodes! P.S. Hereford is (by popular opinion) the best butcher in Riga! To the point that even restaurants mark their steaks as "Hereford steaks", as a high quality mark.
Holy shit man. This reminds me of Anthony Bourdain. I absolutely love the cultural aspect, and getting to know the other strongman. The quality is right there with anything I would watch on netflix.
Oh cool series Dragon! Thanks s geographiles and amateur anthropologists don’t get much information from this part of the world. Thanks for the beautiful shots of the countryside, the local cuisine and time spent with your whanau.
Has anyone else jusat discovered this AMAZING series and is binge-watching.... apart from ME! Thankyou Martins. I've been a fan of your for a good few years. Recent heralth issues and hospital stay has meant my focus has been off training. Now i'm on the road back this wonderful series is both motivating and calms my mind. Thakyou to both you and Romark. God bless
The voice over video in some parts bringing the poetic effects it look so amazing. Giving the video totally an amazing effect with such a soothing voice. Way to go Martin's!!! Just loved the concept.. Looking forward for more...!!!!💞💞
Can't wait for the Estonian episode! Thank you Martins for showing the side of Europe that usually doesn't get a lot of attention. Love seeing my motherland!
I love this series and Martins is my favorite strongman. But the moments where we got to see him be funny and joke around were the best. I feel like the narration might be a little too serious. IMO, Martins should leverage his comedic ability more and then this series will really take off.
I have never been this excited for a video. The new format is amazing you remind me so much of Anthony Bourdain, you not only tell us what journey you are on but you take us with
I've been to Latvia in my navy career!! And that place is amazing loved the streets and bars and restaurants and we went during the Latvia festival so yea we drank to the foam. One day ima go back!
I love your journey man I rewatch old stuff all the time and it’s amazing to see your growth from afar. Thanks for taking us with you. I’ll watch these for years.
I love the notion of "just warming up" and having like 300+ pounds on the bar. you and Aivars' warm up is more than 99% of people's max. Truly inspirational. love these videos!
Been looking forward too this series! your taking this youtube channel too the next level here
Me to!
Thank you!
@@dbowen22 yup, me two.

I’m from Pakistan and I had my holiday in Latvia for 2 weeks there is unmatched beauty here ❤
The voice over segue at 2:06 into Aivars saying "This is my stretching" was comedy gold. Right up there with JF saying "Abs is not a thing of power. It just mean you not eat enough" when asked why strongmen don't have abs showing.
I quite like Tom's one, Abs don't win comps, bellies do 😆
"Renars was a mysterious man, focused on his work. A serious craftsman of culinary experiences"
Sick noir voiceover - Max Payne:ish. Goosebumps! 👏
Thank you. Renars
This is cool man. I have Latvian ancestry and I love seeing things about the motherland.
Mad respect for Aivars and the people of the Baltic. 💪🏼💪🏼
Yes but "this is my stretching" was unintentional comedic gold
The production on this is so good. Great job Martins + Romark!
This is like strongman Anthony Bourdain. I love it. Great production. You guys should talk to some tv networks . This has mass appeal. Great job!
Definitely would watch this. It's so high quality too.
It's more accessible on RUclips than om tv. Don't need tv production nowadays.
Every single video from you seems like a well produced, high production value movie. Not sure who does your video formats and edits them but whoever it is, is legit!
That’s all Romark!
@@MartinsLicis he does truly amazing work. I am so looking forward to all the content!

your country has produced great athletes! I would come here one day

Unarguably the best strongman related series in the past couple of years.
It was awesome to see y’all having a good time at your home, and huge love for Aivars, I hope he has a good time at the Shaw Classic

8:25 Great to see that Martins and his sister gets along so great. He seems like a great uncle. 😉

Really cool. Fun look at culture and adventure. Good writing and photography. Hope Romark is OK

Leg press has been done in WSM. Back in the 90s I think it was.
The quality on this is fantastic. If I saw this on tv I wouldn't question it
This series is phenomenal. Netflix needs to see this!
Your best video yet Martins!

Awesome stuff! Great production and it’s free! This is network worthy stuff people would pay for.
THE NARRATION IS SUPERB. MARTINS IS AN EXCELLENT WRITER AS WELL!
These are not 'youtube videos' this is a mini-series master class with interesting hosts and amazing camera work. Just wow.
That's some picnic !! Top chef for the wilderness! Unbelievable. Great video
15:03 FYI Hereford is the species of cow. The name comes from the region in England they originate from.
Incredible pairing of history/Strongman/Funny content. Refreshing and nice to watch!
Amazing and informative and simply beautifully done. I was laughing my butt of at the "wrong candy" part
Amazing video!
I'm proud to be a Latvian!
Awesome series Dragon. Thanks for sharing, that food and that hike and the culture.. will live on no matter what
Man, those Baltic countries are so gorgeous. Great content.
The voice over video in some parts bringing the poetic effects it look so amazing. Giving the video totally an amazing effect with such a soothing voice. Way to go Martin's!!! Just loved the concept.. Looking forward for more...!!!!💞💞
Love love love this series
Can't wait for the Estonian episode! Thank you Martins for showing the side of Europe that usually doesn't get a lot of attention. Love seeing my motherland!
Gotta be my favourite strongman on RUclips, beautiful exploration of strength and culture!
Thank you both it’s never a boring video and your home country looks beautiful thank you for sharing
Hope to see you travel to the Shaw classic 🇦🇺🙏🏻
I love everything about this series. I hope to get my channel to this level some day and train like this all over.
This is the best youtube video i have ever watched. Seeing the video makes me want to go to Latvia.
Terrific. I love this Baltic series with all the scenery and visitin legends of the sport. Keep up the good work create more memories and great videos
Gotta say oneof my favorite vids they've ever made. 🔥
As someone who was looking forward to travel to the baltics this was a beautifull inspiration and a pleasure to watch, hope your recovery goes well
Awesome video ! Thanks for sharing !! ❤️🔥💪🏽👏🏾👍🏽😎👊🏽💥☄️
what a beautiful country latvia is, seriously considering going there.
I love this series and Martins is my favorite strongman. But the moments where we got to see him be funny and joke around were the best. I feel like the narration might be a little too serious. IMO, Martins should leverage his comedic ability more and then this series will really take off.
i agree. a good mix of narration and London video please :)
I liked the seriousness for a change. Really made a feel like tv prodution and his voice is just perfect for narration
I think it's just great! There is enough strongmen around providing us with adolescent antics!
Martin's really sets the tone as the narrator I love these already great idea keep them coming if it's not too much work
Absolutely fire content
Can't wait for the next video
This combination of strongman and culture is simply beautiful. Would love to visit Latvia now!
Romark and Martins out here doing great content. Thanks for shining a light on this stuff. I never would have seen a lot of this stuff.
Easily the best strongman content we get blessed with. Thanks guys! Big fan of you and your crew!
Really nice wholesome video about Latvia!
This is seriously amazing, loving this! As a Latvian! Paldies!
Don't have any words other than this is dope!
Man I hope we get more of this. For real
This was beautiful man. Thanks for showing us.
I just can't believe how good these videos are not only is Martins the World's Strongest Man but he makes the best travel videos I have ever seen.
Romark, you keep getting better and better. This is spectacular!
Great show Martins and Romark!
