@@keano9933 Sounds like Black lives matter vs all lives matter. Yes we know we have to give them all respect but we're talking about Felix here and its special to be still going at his age. He deserves a little extra respect for that

The absolute monstrosity of this lineup is incredible. Shaw, Z, Thor, and Eddie in the same WSM finals for the few years it happened had to have been the toughest a competition had ever been
part of the reason is because they can't do it in the cold as it's MUCH harder to get your muscles firing in cold temps, but I agree they need to pick places that're mild not hot af like this
They don't have a big budget, and doing it in places like Botswana and Malaysia is cheaper than anywhere else. It's kind of strange that last year it was held in the tropical state of Florida. Strongman had grown in popularity a lot through Brain/Eddie/Thor, and they could have afforded to go anywhere in the world that year. Of course, they end up going to one of the most expensive countries on Earth to do it, and they still somehow fuck up that decision by choosing one of the hottest places in that country.

Big Z at 195 in the Log Press was absolutely unbelievable. Takes it to his chest, lets the weight settle for an instant, then smooth power straight up. Made it look so easy
Anthony Bengimina he’s also not built like most of the others. His bones and size over all naturally isn’t massive like these guys. Yea he’s way bigger then the average guy still but compared to Brian or Thor he just doesn’t have the natural size.
I'm pretty sure Z was at his absolute strongest in 2014-2015 on the log press. I'm sure he'd have at least 235 in him if not 240. That 205 he did for 4 at the Arnold was probably the greatest feat of strength I've ever seen.
@Tyler Vincent in interview in Lithuania, he said all his injuries finally cought up to him. Apperantly all his left side muscles atrophied due to nerve damage. he spent entire 2017/2018 rebuilding himself. he still says he wants to go for that Log Press record(was really unlucky in 2018 due to some sickness and smaller injuries) but said will try in 2019 again. Though we probably won't see him in WSM anymore. Only in smaller Veteran events. Unless as he said "I feel like I can compete"
People always thought 2017 wsm was the best, for me 2015 is so underrared, big Z before his serious nerve injury, Shaw was in his prime, Thor was several time Europes strongest man champion, and Eddie hall also has improved a lot from the past years.
@@mattiaturconi5367 NOBODY thinks 2017 was the best! Only Eddie Hall fanboys! 2017 was a ROBBERY Colin and Hall both stole the title! It was the most corrupt final since Jon Pall got handed the win from OD Wilson.
One thing that is crazy is that even at this event, the top four are on a whole other level than the other 6. Mike Burke was the only other one who was relevant in some of these events and he was 11 points behind the Hall!

Interesting comment, Keith. What is also amazingly crazy is when you realize the 10th place in this competition is probably 3 times stronger than the strongest guy you'll ever meet in your whole life, including each and every gym you'll ever train. Ordinary people have no idea how superhumanly strong these guys are, including the 10th place. And in the front row, with Big Z, Thor and Shaw, we see "mutant" levels of strengh. They're way, waaaay past what you'd call humanly possible regarding strengh.
When it comes to deciding weights in events "I have some experience, helping run local shows" your bottom 3rd should zero or fail to complete. your middle of the pack group should manage to finish or have a low end single digit rep count, and your top 3rd should be above 5 reps for rep events. most carry events the winner will usually be between 11-20 seconds, loading low 20s, unless a carry and load. The truck pull this year would be considered too difficult, and changes should've been made during testing.
When i was younger i didn't realize how strong these guys are...Now i know, the sheer amount of time they put in training, eating, recovery and such is absolutly insane. Even if i started training 6 days a week right now i would never be strong like them. They are a completely differents breed of man. And such nice dudes too! I LOVE STRONGMAN !
Thor was pushing everyone out of the way he probably thought he was going to pass out and he wanted Brian to hold him so he didn’t fall. Not one those helpers there would have been able to hold him. I love the sportsmanship between Brian and Thor.
@@morten8586 Well when Thor retires and can Leg Press 1850 lbs for reps (like I watched Eddie do) when he's not even training for WSM...then we'll talk.
@@deejaydfc Gym LIfts dont count sorry. When eddie wins wsm, esm, arnolds and wus in the same year, then perhaps we will talk. And i m not even thor's fan. Eddie may not train for wsm but is still 20 kg heavier than current WSM Martins.
Savickas is amazing and now at an advanced age for strength athletes.His pressing power rivals Alexeev as Z claims 529 overhead press for 2 reps on Olympic bar and this man is stricter. The power stairs at 225kg stifles Hall due to his lower height,possibly hand size is a factor.
40:10 kind of heartbreaking... Z almost had it... He was gonna be 5th time WSM but he had to slip on the atlas stone... U did ur best Z... Still the strongest in history
Damn, those guys from Nordic countries competing under the unforgiving heat of tropical weather. That is nothing short of ruthless by the organizing committee 🤨
13:00 Brian is truly a nice man rushing over when he saw Thor laying on the ground. I honestly don't think Thor would've done the same lol. Just being totally honest.
His hands aren't small, they're just not freakishly huge. Mark Felix has the biggest hands in pro strongman. A good deal bigger than Shaw or Thor. You don't have to take my word for it, you can easily verify online. Second after Felix is Phil Pfister.
These guys are amazing. They don't get the recognition they deserve. One thing I can't figure out is why they hold these contests in places such as Malaysia and Zambia and places in the world which hold such heat and humidity. Look at the athletes competing, either European, American, Canadian. How the hell can you expect these guys to preform at the highest level when they are not climatised to the heat and humid conditions? Surely if they're holding the Arnold classic in the states then have the WSM in Europe? Just a suggestion.
Any other professional athletes that went 8 straight years having only two champions would be definitely more well-known. Even if it was in the NHL. For some reason world strongest man doesn't get any recognition. Civicus and Shaw dominated this competition from 2009 until 2017 when Eddie Hall finally want it for Britain. Great stuff, and an inspiration to us all.
watching this in 2022 - i forget just how big terry hollands was ---- what a transformation hes put him self through --- look at him today --- totally differnt bloke
this changed the course of history .. savickas was so close tying mp for 5 all time .. and in the process leaving shaw way behind at 2 .. instead shaw stopped him and caught up to him tying him at 4

They should make them curl 5 lbs as many time as they can, would be pretty funny.
"day 3 of the curling match and big z and shaw are tied at 700,00."
lol!
go brain shaw😊😊😊
5lb can be for the heats. And then in the final only the truly strongest will survive... the 8lb dumbbell curl.
longrod vonhughendong that's a strange number of reps 700,00.
