Not really, they still struggle to do basic yardwork because lifting a tool or digging uses the other half of their muscles that they never specifically worked out. That's the difference between bodybuilding and strength. I've got more core strength than most even though I don't go to the gym because of my hobbies. People who only work out specific muscles show off, they aren't strong
@@KNR90this is maybe true if you just do pure isolation exercises on Tri/bi/chest but most people do full body and if you pass the beginner stage you will be stronger in everyday activities than a gardener/tradesman.
When friends of mine would show up with maintenance tools for their suede or white shoes, just in case they needing maintaining on the fly during that very evening, I would say “are you wearing those shoes or are they wearing you”
Calling Eddie Hall a "hydraulic fridge" had me laughing way too loud and for too long. It's genuinely the most accurate description of him I've ever heard. Not that I'd ever say that to his face (and I met him in 2001, so I know I wouldn't as he nearly crushed my child hand when he shook it)
Remember kids, the strongest man is the one that can communicate their emotions without shame or insecurity and is there to support their friends, family and community.
That's good and all but real question is if God gives to choice either get 1. Get all Spiderman powers . 2. Or end racism . What will u choose? I know my answer so sorry Rosa parks.
Mariusz Pudzianowski is THE man, the myth, the legend here in Poland. I remember watching him compete as a kid. Everybody did during that time. I'm pretty sure we Poles know about Strongman competitions solely because of him. He's an important character in the Polandcore for sure.
Yeeeep! Im pretty sure that his success (5x WSM, still unbeaten) is the sole reason why my generation, born in late 90s, didn't become rife with obesity and alike. He made it cool to be strong and looked cool doing it. Fuck, "Pudzian" became a common way to refer to your friends and family that were stronger than others lmao
@@Aliquis.frigushe doesn't really compare. He was a beloved athlete here, just like all successful polish athletes were, and still is a household name.. but cultural impact is not comperable. Especially since Pudzianowski started to compete in MMA, cementing him as a masculine idol

Thank you Casually Explained for recently teaching me the valuable skills of Rock Climbing, Arm Wrestling, Photography snappin' and now popping pills and lifting. Truly your videos are so inspiring, educational and motivational that just last week I managed for the first time this year to get out of bed before taking my morning dump. Progress!
It's actually incredible how casually explained has such a good grasp on so many things, everything he's covered that I'm passionate about he's absolutely nailed everything including inside community jokes
is doing thorough research about something so unbelievably mind blowing to you? or do you think he just sat there for a few days and wrote the script off the top of his head?
Fun fact: some jokers in Poland commissioned 14m statue of Mariusz Pudzianowski dressed as a pope. The really funny thing is that it was actually built.
@@iknownot3336 It depends. You might consider it normie if you only account for how everyone has at least watch a clip or an ESPN rerun of one of the comps or two. But I doubt that more than 0.01% of the internet users know about Eddie vs Hafthor rivalry. Heck I'll even bet there are more people who know Hafthor as the Mountain than as the strongman athlete. It's like Crossfit, people know it's about doing crazy athletic stuff and some clips are somewhat viral, but not that many people actually care about the sport much less who are competing in it.
Between climbing, strongman, and armwrestling, I feel like Casually Explained is really into things that depend almost entirely on how big your hands and collarbones are
@@fadew55 well my dad can beat up your dad soooo.. My dad is so strong that one time he grabbed a snake with his bare hands, and with his immense grip strength, was able to shrink it down to a ring, and give it to my mom. And thats how he met my mother.
One of the craziest strong-man events that I've seen is the caber toss, where these massive guys wear kilts and try to throw a telephone pole-sized log so that it flips end over end
I love when you do a video on a topic i know about. You do so good at researching and becoming a part of the culture. The eddie hall slander is top notch!
Man, he is just hammering through the random sports I never thought about. I've learnt more about random sports from casually explained than literally anyone else.
Actually pro strongmen typically only compete 4-6 times a year and sometimes even take their parents with them, train only 4 times a week, and don't need to work a regular job, so they can spend a shitload of their time with their mumsies
As a Strongman fan and competitor, i haven't clicked a video so fast, and I was not disappointed, top notch my guy, loved it. Hooper is the time traveling goat for sure
I think you’re the only RUclipsr that has under 10 million that gets on trending after every upload. And you’re definitely the only RUclipsr that I listen to the ad breaks for.
I am sure I could have lifted that big ass rock if I didn't get that elbow injury in high school. Those 2 weeks really changed the trajectory of my life.
So cool you did a video on strongman! I love your videos. I know your content is primarily humor but there's a lot of factual information in here and as one of the best middleweight competitors to ever do it (myself, winning 6 National championships), I will say not standardizing or sharing the stone dimensions is a really interesting idea with one fault, it would disadvantaging those that do not have the prior knowledge of the dimensions, the information would almost definitely be leaked to an athlete or two and give an even worse discrepancy in advantage to those one or two individuals. Keep doing what you do, I love your stuff! If you wanted to do a weight class edition of this there is a ton of humor you could incorporate. I'd be happy to help you with that. Best wishes, Zack McCarley
It's such a delight each time you upload! I like your suggestions about having standardised weights but a surprise shape/challenge - would make it a bit more interesting to watch :)
Casually Explained, I just wanted to say I'm really happy to see that you've made a proper return to form with these last few videos. You set such a high standard initially I understand it was hard for you to keep up with that standard and I felt there was a slight drop in quality a while back but im happy to see you back making some of your best ever content
Mariusz Pudzianowski. A dozen or so years of starts. A sports phenomenon. Repeatability of successes over the years, over a decade. Something unbelievable! Every week we sat down, as if we were in a soap opera, to watch this competition. A sociological phenomenon! How many things could be attributed to him during this career? That you can clearly win in life without any compromises. That he is a reliable and solid man, a messenger of great news and great hope. He started as a crisis idol who was to lead us as an ambassador of a wonderful civilizational leap to Europe. A social phenomenon. After all, thanks to these transmissions, we lived a vicarious life. He was a source of great collective joy.
A statistical anomaly among genetic outliers truly the greatest imo. Brian, the Stoltsman's and Thor have potential to being close or on par with him and I hope their careers see more success. Big Z is another great one. Along with Mark Felix.
Mariusz Pudzianowski was banned from International Federation of Strength Athletes for substance abuse. So not exactly a phenomenon you are trying to describe here
I got through most of the video without laughing until you said 'hydraulic refrigerators', and I literally spat out my protien shake and couldn't stop laughing 😂
Please get into slap fighting next. I don't understand the appeal of doing it but it just looks funny, dumb and scary at the same time which seems like a perfect mix for a Casually Explained video.
A prime Big Z, Brian Shaw, Hafthor, and Eddie Hall would wipe the floor with Pudzianowski. A lot of his wins were before specialized strongman athletes and also during the IFSA/WSM split. Not saying he isn't an amazing athlete, but his 5 wins are a little overrated compared to the sheer competition of the Giants Live era.

all of his recent videos have been strength related, so naturally I’m scared for what he’s preparing for
His next video is him diving deep into male naked Turkish oil wrestling that he has been secretly training for.
No homo tho....
