Big Gav is a true hero, a serving Soldier, a professional Rugby player, and now a legitimate top level Strongman - and if he’s struggling on this event you know it’s tough !!
Well its hard. Those guys have their weight for a reason at this point. You cant just tell one of worlds strongest men to lose weight and still be able to perform at their best. Sometimes the best effort galvin can do is by having the weight he got. Even he dropped the weight he wouldnt be better.
@@simmiesim321 bro, Gavin Bilton is 212kg. How much of that do you think is actual quality muscle? Brian's heaviest was 200kg and Thor's was 205kg. His fat is slowing him down.
@@gabbeskillz6262 He is not struggling here because of extra fat, but because he is not strong enough in the yoke. I think its disrespectful to single these athletes out on account of being fat, half of them are, half of them are not. Gavin is still very new to the game and constantly getting better and propably constantly recomposing as well.
I am from the same town in the Highlands of Scotland and Tom and luke has made us lot from invergordon very proud...our tiny town has the world's and Europe's strongest man....come on
Never take the timer on the screen for granted. It's the referee's timer that count. If you pay attention, at 3:20 the timer on the screen starts early, go back to 0, than start after the whistle...
I reccomend everyone to look up a fomer Norwegian weightliter/strongman Torkel Ravndal (1936-2004), massive forearms and chest he was 193 cm and weighed 151 kgs ate 10.000 calories on his workout days and trained 5 days a week for 2-2,5 hours.
Gavins only in Strongman for 2 years, and since than his peak weight was 210kg, Brian shaw was 190-200kg since 2008 untill recent, so that explains is.
Gavin is only going to get better, not just a little. There is so much possibility in him it's kind of crazy. Pa is very much looking like Popeye =) Did Hicks throw up at the end?
I think he is too heavy, even thor only briefly went to this wheight for comps, he never stayed there. Also thor had a frame that could carry 200kg better than Bilton, I think. He might become wsm, but gavin dropping to the floor after seconds, reminded me more too the late mike jenkins, not the next wsm... :-(
Jenkins was one of the best at yoke and was in good shape. Moving events were a big strength and he would've probably become WSM if he didn't pass away. Gavin isn't in good shape at all and is far too big and a lot of it isn't quality muscle mass.
Nah weight is just a number to strongmen but he would benefit from better conditioning as would many others 😂 whether that means he has to drop weight or not I’m not sure but just dropping weight alone doesn’t give you conditioning
@@ArmchairCarcass dropping body fat 100% h3lps with conditioning his gut is bigger the brians ever was and hes not strong enough to justify it. Hes got like wsm eddie gut.
@@PipleZiple dropping body fat alone doesn’t equate to better conditioning. It helps you move better, doesn’t make you any more conditioned. That is trained and fuelled appropriately whether he loses weight or not won’t bother him he’s said that before to be fair. Comparing him to eddie is a bit ironic as he won wsm with that belly, as he was conditioned.
Many “strongmen” come to giants live events and can’t hang (Paul smith). Gavin bilton hangs with them no bother managed the 425kg deadlift in my book he is “strong” just wait till he’s had a few more years experience he’s got potential.
@@ArmchairCarcass Paul Smith won England's Strongest Man and beat Andy Black at UK's Strongest Man for 2nd when Andy got 3rd, he can hang with them now.
@@CapsFan117 didn’t get first, Gavin bilton won uks strongest man came across to giants live and at present is no where near podium, will be in a few years when he has more experience though I’m sure. Don’t think uks is a good comparison for giants live honestly.

He is not using his body to his advantage he's the about the weight and height as a brain Shaw and Thor and still can't dominate the competition
You forgot “He looks like a real life super Mario“.
@@astmedia666 ah yes brain shaw
@@astmedia666 you forget he is still pretty new to competition
Hes a huge man aswell, biggest strong man, total respect
0:01 I allways get goosebumps on that:"AND UP AWAY WE GOOOOOOO!"
Reminds me of the 500 kg deadlift by Eddie hall
Iconic.. For many sports
Pa did really, really well this competition. Great to see him firing on all cylinders :)
@Rage Conquers All that’s true, he does look quite old. I thought he was a Grandfather when I first saw him.
@@Saskatchetooner That’s what 500 years of ancestrally oppressed DNA does to you
@@_TG lol
WELSH BULL LOVE U MAN ❤🔥🔥🔥
Gav will learn from this and get better. Only been in the sport for a few years and the man has come such a long ways...
Bilton is learning the hard way, as many strongman does. I'm just happy he didn't injured himself. 👍
Regardless much respect to these athletes, can't imagine the
stress on the body after these car pulls, incredible !
Poor Gav, he’s such a sweetie. Awww bless xxx
im also a sweetie ;)
Gavin Bilton looks like classical Italian pizzabaker...Luigi
What an amazing crowd!
Wow that was moving to see Gavin's reaction. Hopefully he didn't get hurt?
Absolutely love big Gav. He should be made an honorary Scotsman. 🏴🏴
Felt bad for Bilton…he’s been trying so hard recently. Would need to be more athletic tho.
He's too fat for no reason.
@@gabbeskillz6262 if he lost mabye 2 stone events like the farmers walk would be much easier for him.

When Kaz yells out support for Pa O' Dwyer using just his first name, lol XD
This is the size that strongman crowds should be
All of them are champions....for my opinion!!! From mexico city congrats!!!!
As Uncle Loz said , Gav needs to be more conditioned
Ya, he does. A touch more cardio and perhaps loose a bit weight to become a bit more toned.
Beast 🏴💪
My L5-S1 vertebrae are aching just watching this.
Then you have poopy back muscles. Do more rows
I am from the same town in the Highlands of Scotland and Tom and luke has made us lot from invergordon very proud...our tiny town has the world's and Europe's strongest man....come on
How come novikov's time is above 11s ? If you watch frame by frame, he crosses the line at 9" something

Bloody hell,Gav collapsed

That’s a big dude
Gavin was 210-212 kgs at his heaviest, here he weighed 191 kgs impressive.
Now he is a slender 175
Daren is MASSIVE
I wonder how long Gavin has been that big. It must take a while to acclimate to how much oxygen his huge body needs

🔥
*_SPLENDID GREAT_*
Is just me or is it touching that pa was straight over to check on gav
3:34 Novikov crosses in just under 10 seconds. 9.8 maybe, but they got him at 11.19!??
Um I agree, he crossed a bit later than that. The timer on screen is an approximation. I don’t think it’s to form.
Very nice
Oh..... 💓💓💓💓💥 poli
Is it true Gavin Bilton suffered a heart attack at this year's Europe's strongest man??? ,
I heard that was the injury he pulled out with
It is blindingly obvious that Gav needs to drop some weight.
Irish guy looks 60 not 36 lol
yaaaa

Сколько силы уходит в никуда. Таких ребят надо на заводы, на фермы, в поля отправлять, вот там с них реальная польза будет
О, эксперт пришел))
Think Gave should drop some weight 🤔
💯

More or less gut...maybe less important than doin' a little bit cardio.
