  • Big Loz vs The Mountain - yes it is Europe's Strongest Man 2016 !
    ''The day Swindon Strongman, Big LOZ, took on the Mountain''
    - aka Laurence Shahlaei and Hafthor Bjornsson
    A ''David vs Goliath'' story that shocked the World
    Hafthor was then the two time champion.

    02:00 Event 1 Highlights of World Deadlift Championships
    08:52 Event 2 Frame Walk
    18:38 Event 3 Log press
    27:20 Event 4 Car Walk
    39:44 Event 5 Atlas Stones
    The Sun Newspaper + Telegraph both wrote: ‘’Swindon man beats The Mountain to Europe's Strongest Man title’
    The underdog story was so popular, even Mike Tyson retweeted it, and praised the much smaller Swindon-based Dad
    Well, Laurence Shahlaei, aka Big Loz, stepped up to the impossible task.
    BUT this contest looked finished British star Eddie Hall pulled out after Event 1
    Hall was 1 of 2 favourites for the 2016 title, but Hall’s deadlift of 500kg in event 1 totally exhausted him and he pulled out.
    This meant the main Favourite + 2 x European Champion - Hafthor Julius Bjornsson was left in an almost unbeatable position.
    Despite his power and size he had a points lead from the deadlift and there were just 4 events to go.
    What happened next was a shock for many.
    This is one of the most epic performances in strongman.
    BIG LOZ (or even UNCLE LOZ nowadays) hadn't won his National title for 3 years,
    Shahlaei was giving up 7 inches and 50 kilos (110 lbs) to the Icelandic and twice European Champion.
    Thor - as he is often known - stands 6 foot 9 inches tall and at that time weighed in at over 420lbs
    LOCATION: First Direct Arena in Leeds.

    Great video Giants Live! One of your best yet!!
    In all seriousness… this was the first arena show and the first time we’d ever seen a crowd of strongman fans this big. Now we get to enjoy shows this huge 6 times a year. Strongman in the UK has come a long way, let’s keep it growing all over the world 💪🏽

    When Loz says “someone’s got to dethrone the mountain”, I got goose bumps. Big Loz has always been able to flick the switch bring on the intensity and go. And when he said that, you knew it was game on. What great memories captured forever. I hope Big Loz watches this.

    Hey Giants Live, love to see that heavier set of stones in this older competition. I see that despite going up to 200kg, many of those athletes hit that last stone. I think the bar has just risen from there, so it makes sense just to keep putting that heavier set in, like in the upcoming Strongman Classic for example. We just need to see that heavier set in there.

    Strongman really needs to showcase the athletes personas more. Literally guarantee they can gain fans they never imagined if they would televise that more. The records are amazing but it's the personality of these individuals that shows the world something they never expected.
    This sport deserves all the fans in the world. You want athletes to look up to. I know of no other sport moreso that shows this.

    Hafthor's record isn't even close to indicative of what he became. NO strongman in history had the year of near absolute dominance that Hafthor had. (when you compare the competition)
    I understand why he bowed out of competition......but holy shit, he still had the ability to get stronger.
    Edit: Really annoys me that youtube determines that due to me being american I need closed captions.....it annoys me and yet it makes sense.....sadly.
