    He was my first WSM winner, then two years later Magnus Samuelsson. As a kid I thought in order to be strong you had to be named Magnus

    Imagine that some people who are new-ish to the sport only knows him as the "referee guy". He's 4x WSM!!

    Got to meet and hang out with Magnus last year in FL. One experience I will never forget, such a great person and was so welcoming. Felt like hanging out with a guy you knew for years. Such a great person, and ambassador for the sport. Also excited for his influence in the world of Adaptive Strongman.

    Brilliant video, how can you not love Maggy? He was brought in as an alternate and won his first WSM then took it a further 4 times, absolutely incredible. The guy just seems so humble and down to earth and has a great sense of humour. What I also loved is that he showed that you don't need to be 6` 8" and 30 stone to win WSM!

    I was a huge Jon pall fan when I started rewatching the old wsm comps, and I remember when I first saw Magnus I thought he was no Jon pall. He won his first one and I thought he's got nothing on Jon pall. But with each comp I started to really enjoy him not just as an athlete but I loved his contrasting personality compared to Jon pall. He never took my favourite spot from Jon pall but he's in my top four

    Watching the farm work clips bring back a lot of memories. I'm 61 now and every time I lift a log or a sandbag it reminds me of loading hay or feedbags as a child. Farm and ranch work definitely builds a solid foundation for strength with so many movement patterns that are used in competition. Really enjoying the bio series. I remember watching all these competitions. Thanks 👍

    A thought for a video: As someone who's only seen about a year's worth of Strongman since getting into it, I have no idea what sort of progression there's been in the numbers people are lifting in these competitions. Have they all increased? Are there any that have plateaued? It might be a fun stat video for Liz.

    Winning wsm as a reserve will likely never be repeated again. And one of only 2 EVER to win 3 in a row!

    I always assumed that there was some roving team of assassins that would find and kill anyone with the audacity to be named something like 'Magnus ver Magnusson.' And of course, Magnus must have crushed all their skulls with his bare hands when they came for him. I also assume that Horst Baddenhorst must have also had a similar experience.

    Sometimes I find myself a little annoyed that people seem to overlook Magnus. Maybe it's not a popular opinión but he is at Shaw, Mariusz and Jon's level. If he didn't screwed that Husafell carry to ad a 5th WSM I'm sure people would argue him being at least top 3 ever.
