We need more people in sports with that attitude. Nowadays, it's all too competitive. You never really see two people going against each other, and then after giving support. Great to see.
Nah there’s a point of strength where you actually get humbled to a degree of knowing your own capabilities to such an extreme extent that you know it’s better being humble and having good sportsmanship. And they know how hard it is because they are doing things that would be humanly impossible if they didn’t exist
My uncle is Rick B. . He's Been winning heavyweight arm wrestling championships all over the world for 40 years now. He's 62 now and still benches 450. Age is just a number. He competes professionally in the 55 and up heavyweight category now... but still beats young 20 something heavyweights at will lol.. Literally beats local champs as young as his grandkids lol.
I met Mark Felix at a Leeds Strongman event in Leeds a few years ago. He is such a gentleman and I am surprised he hasn't been offered film work. Long may he compete!
I had been complaining that I started powerlifting too late, at the age of 35 - now 37 and turning 38 this year. I'm going to stop complaining about my age from this moment on. What an inspiration Mark Felix is.
I am finding guys starting later have more longevity. A lot of guys starting super young are done younger, it’s the miles that gets them coupled with a lack of training maturity
Amazing that Felix was competing at the top back when today's top athletes was just about learning how to read, and he still schools them on a regular basis. Definitely one of the GOATS.
This ought to be inspiration for those under 50 saying "I'm too old", when this guy is still fit and strong breaking records. If he can keep going and stay in shape, so can YOU!
As many people have said. Aside from being unbelievably strong, whenever he is interviewed he always seems like such a humble and nice man. Top bloke. Hats off to you sir.
I don't know much about strongman stuff but this event looks like the most wholesome event ever made. I love how the contestants encourage each other, being supportive, and accept defeat like a true warrior. We really need more community like this event has.
@@hurrythepeace9443 well not every strongman is on peds but every elite open weight class strongman is aka everyone that competes at worlds giants live w.u.s. ect.
@@blizzard3728 Z never officially announced retirement. He came down with a rather serious nerve injury in his neck/shoulder back in 2016 and has been taking it easy.. trying to recover from that ever since but always with the aim to get back into the game when his body allows for it
I remember watching Flex 15 years ago with Mariusz Pudzianowski. Flex's best event was the car deadlift. Literally from today to the era of Mariusz, there's been like 5 iterations of strongmen champions. Most of those champions came and left the sport (Phil, Brian, Savickas,.Eddie, Thor, etc). Flex is still going. Insane. His longevity is incomparable.
The ending really sells this man to the audience. You don't expect a man of his stature, a man with the voice of a lion when he's clenching his entire body, to be so damned humble and lovely. Mark Felix is indeed part of the GOAT club.
It's just astonishing how long he is remaining highly competitive in such a brutal sport. Even more astounding that he continues to get better and break his own records over and over.
Felix is one of the main reasons I've watched wsm for the past 14 or so years,the respect and admiration I have for him is unreal..his grip strength is unsurpassed and he puts competitors half his age to shame..I got very upset watching his last ever strongman 2023 it certainly won't be the same without him..thank you mark Felix for the sheer joy you have brought me and many many other fans..your a legend ❤❤❤
One thing I noticed is these athletes they are competing against each other. But at the same time it is like working out with your gym bro! They feel happy for the fellow athlete when he is doing more reps 👌🏻
Amazing 54 years old Man that compete in a top level Strong Man competition where many athletes have half years on him,and not only half years, in some case also half strong:)
only him and eddie hall generates this really calming energy in the strongman events. no matter how strong other contenders are such as thor, these two are the best to watch
Randy Couture fought in the UFC cage until he was 47 and Mark Felix is still one of the strongest men in the world. Never underestimate a man with grey hair.
I love how they encourage each other and are supportive even when they lose, you never see that anymore
it's a sport full of chances of being hurt, so I THINK that must be some feelings like "maybe this guy or me can get fcked today so let's have fun"
We need more people in sports with that attitude.
Nowadays, it's all too competitive. You never really see two people going against each other, and then after giving support. Great to see.
Yeah it's a sport which requires everything from you... Most of them beat their own records which makes them evn more happier than winning that round

You could show his face to 100 people not knowing him, nobody would guess that he's already 54 years old

I’m one of the 100😂
He looks 20 years younger than he is. He's an incredible strength athlete and to do even half of what he can in his mid 50s is unbelievable.
Felix really excels in these events that require resolve such as hammer hold and Hercules hold. Really shows what mentality he has.
Felix is an Asgardian, getting stronger as he ages 😅

Noone gets the crowd pumped more than Felix!
Man's a legend.
Definitely my all time favorite.
It's not just the physical strength.। It's more of the mental strength💪
took the words outa my mouth

Mark Felix is indeed part of the GOAT club.
His edge comes from wisdom, technique, and mental strength all from years of experience.
Mark Felix is an inspiration to us all. Proof that age is just a number.
Two fingers up to everyone who says, 'Should you be doing that at your age?'
Mark is 50 years plus and still rolling . Legend.
Long time fan of Mark Felix. S-P-E-C-I-M-E-N! Amazing & inspiring athlete.
This guy is a beast. Like a fine wine getting better with time.
It’s insane to see the stuff he can do, he’s the same age as my dad I couldn’t imagine him doing anything simular
Thank you for the video. This man is amazing and just gave me some much needed motivation
Felix: The Ageless King of Grip
the respect between these men is incredible
Strong man with great humbleness.....salute to him
A pure gentleman love watching him
Love how he knows his limits

His body is 50, but doesn't seem to care, lol

A true testament to the sport
Wherever this guy goes in his mind, he's killing demons. Insane mental fortitude

Olha a idade ainda por cima, maluco e muito foda
Chocada!! Felix não pode ser humano.

Huge respect
At 55 myself and a weightlifter
Mark is my idol
13:31 : he's so strong, the fishes hand themselves to him
Who else is watching this and gets random motivation
His mind is so strong than his body... Even at 53 he lifts the weight so easy.. Great man 💪
Felix has one of the best looking strongman bodies. STILL!
Dude just never looks like he's struggling. Jesus.
Huge respect for him
