Luke, you're still one of the best strongmen in the world. That's not an opinion, the numbers don't lie. You wouldn't keep getting invited to everything if you weren't.
We’ll, he’s one of the biggest names in the sport so he will be invited not always based on merit alone. It’s a simple fact
@@goldilox811Luke can still compete and qualify. I think is invitations now are based on merit.
@BeardOfPower7 no if it was Merritt than 2 inactive strongman would not of been invited to the Arnold's
@@bdegrdsyou have a funny idea of what merit is. Two former WSM winners, Arnold’s strongman classic winners, etc…… still in their prime age. They bring hype and are contenders if in good shape, and they won’t commit to prep for a competition if they weren’t a threat to win. There past results, fan draw, and expected performance are all elite level. Expecting them to do lower level comps is stupid and disrespectful.
@@anthonyproffitt5341not to mention injury risk. Anyone who knows strongman and even those who don’t know anything but watched the Rogue knows this is a dangerous sport. Why would eg Thor risk injury for some regional comp? This is like football (American), not baseball. Every time you compete you’re using a limited supply of lifetime punishment and risking serious injury. This isn’t baseball where you do rehab starts in the minor leagues.
Best prep for the best year to come ♥️
Congratulations on your baby ! 👶🍼
100% agree. Always thought you should put full focus on your own lifting career. Admirable how you helped the brother reach the levels he has but no doubt there was a cost in doing that. Fair play, best of luck with it.
Awesome to see you focusing on you and making sure to rehab what you need to now! Your sacrifices in your own personal training in order to support Tom has been noticed. I think it is not selfish at all for you to focus on yourself now!
Brian Shaw focused on himself on his last year and look what happened, maybe it will be a stoltman on top this year just not the one everyone expects 👀
How much you've supported Tom is one of the things that makes you my favourite competitor. But focusing more on yourself at this point doesn't take away from everything you've done for Tom. And it's just the training I know you'll still be cheering Tom on at every comp.
Thank god you’re not retiring! Was about gutted when I saw the title of the video. YOU ARE NOT OLD!! Your coming into your prime and with the new training and personal focus you WILL be better than you ever thought possible! The training you were doing was already going well you were getting stronger and faster and I seriously believe you will surprise yourself over the next couple months and years with how much greater you will become! You absolutely stood out at the world’s strongest nation which was great to see! But from here on out you’ll be in it 100% all the time because now you have a fire in you that’s going to carry you to greater heights! Completely bummed you won’t be competing in the Arnold this year!! Was definitely looking forward to seeing you there! It’s just not the same without you. WE NEED THE HIGHLAND OAK!!! Anyway so happy to hear you’re focused on you and bettering yourself!! We’re all cheering for you!! Fk s**t up and givum hell Luke!!!
Don't retire Luke, it's so awesome to see you compete... Really hope you and Tom continue to compete together 😃
That's the plan!
Honestly I think this is the best move you’ve made and it’ll make a huge difference to you and your performance.
Glad to hear your not retiring yet and even though your “old” I think your going to have a brilliant next couple of years.
get on Luke!!!! i love your brother but i`d dearly love him to get the silver medal at the worlds one day whilst looking up at his big bro ✊💪💪
As a fan, I am very happy to hear that you are focusing on yourself. I look forward to watching you compete for as long as you want to put in the effort. When you do retire, have you thought about a Loz style retirement? Take a break, get healthy / fit, then come back for passion events and kick ass in the masters? Cause that would be cool.
Luke is an absolute unit. Glad you're still in it and trying something new!
Looking forward to seeing you competing going forward with your new focus and coaching. Always love watching you tackle the events man, you're an absolute unit. The level of competition is insane right now so seeing you focus on your own training is going to make the years to come that much more exciting for us fans
I hope you're having a blessed day/week/month/year. I was nearly gutted when I saw the retirement title but I'm over the moon that you're not going anywhere anytime soon! Very happy to hear you're taking time to really focus in on your personalized training and shoulder recovery. I'm wishing you all the best in the world, and I'm glad you know you're one of the best strongmen in the world. I'm looking forward to seeing you continue to hone yourself, Europe's wasn't the last time, as your shoulder recovers I think you'll find your best is yet to come. We'll be cheering for you every step of the way.
Always love the training vids 💪
Be selfish (its not actually selfish tho), be accountable only to yourself and don't leave competing with any regrets when the time comes.
You ARE one of the strongest men in the world, I cant wait to see you on many more podiums over the next however many years.
This video was great btw, best thing I’ve seen of yours in ages! Giving Licis comeback vibes(not that you went anywhere!) right now with addressing ur weaknesses and your injuries. Will always be rooting for ya Luke!
With the improvements we've seen to his deadlift this year alone, Luke getting his shoulder healthy and generally improving elsewhere means some of his best performances are yet to come
You are one of the worlds strongest men IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!! I wish for you the best in life and I hope you win your desired competitions soon. I think now you are full of strength and passion for the sport and I will cheer for you as you compete. I think you'll know when the time is right but not now! Keep on doing the great work mate! Keep it spicy❤🌶💪
Luke you're still a freaking stud! Making the switch and focusing on yourself is probably for the best. Keep putting the work in, keep kicking ass, and keep being awesome!
As a big fan of yours Luke I'm very happy to hear this news. I felt that you need to focus more on you and not so much on Tom. He's well on his way and doesn't need big brother to lead him so much. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you can do next year. Cheers mate!
Luke a bit of a change will do you good. Someone who got fresh eyes on you alone will help heaps and don’t say your too old mate. Never too old for anything
Hey Luke. I've been dealing with similar shoulder issues as well. So frustrating. I'm going to use some of these training ideas to hopefully improve my mobility too. You're a great strongman and I'm glad to hear that you're sticking around for a while yet!
Shane from mst systems would be a perfect coach for you Luke! A strongman of your calibre deserves to be world’s strongest man
Looking at that session I reckon there’s a good chance that it is him. Movement prep, focus on shoulder stability, using the mace and Luke mentioned some breathing work at the end. Sounds like an MST systems session.
@@Alex-n9n5vI think so too!!!
Mr. Luke Stoltman, out of all of the public faces I have seen over the years. Yours is one that truly deserves to be called inspirational. You are a phenomenal representation of a man. Strong, humble, gracious, and always kind. You are a salt of the earth type person. It's been a privilege to see your career. Stay humble and stay spicy!
Kind words thanks 🙏
You are one of my favirite Strongman:-) so kind and humble:-)) all the best to your future
So happy your not retiring, looking forward to seeing you win some more big competitions, your definitely still one of the best in the world
I have said this to family and friends that you are an incredible athlete. As a huge Stoltman fan I have found that you never had a chance to totally focus on strongman your whole career as you worked on oil rigs. It's only been the last couple of years or so. Big Tommy has had the chance to focus solely on strongman and had you there for support the whole time. You need to focus on you as you said and you have all the right tools and grit to win big at competitions. Glad you have had this change of heart and can't wait to see what you can achieve. Shout out to you and big Tommy. Stoltmans rule 🌶🌶🌶🌶
Luke the LEGEND stoltman 2 brothers been smashing the strongman for years many more to come I hope
Super proud of you dude for working on yourself right now. Sometimes less is more with the strength part. Without a solid foundation you cant build a sturdy building.
Well said!
I'm happy for you, Luke. As a relatively new father myself, being the strongest you can be from them switched my mindset on strength completely. Being as strong as I can be for him will continue to be a driver for me to never give, and with how passionate you were before, I can't begin to imagine where it will bring you. I am going to the Arnold's this year and hope to see you there!
This is the best thing Luke could he doing right now. Seeing him work on his weaknesses is great cuz even if he improved his weaker events by 10% It would make a big difference in competitions.
I know that feeling as the older brother of losing focus on yourself in order to help your little brother succeed. Good on you for getting that focus back on yourself. Hope to see you reach even greater heights in the coming year!
Great video and good to see that self reflection, hoping for a big year in 2024 for both you and Tom 💪💪
Sometimes you have to change the game to win the game. Proud of you brother!!!!! And by focusing on yourself you will also be able to help Tom better and leave an everlasting legacy.
Ken who is old in the game and still killing it Felix.! You are never to old Keep killing it!
Just seen this... Totally agree big fella, it's brutal and every bit as hard to do the non conventional strength moves which for a big lad is an issue around mobility. The pain and effort you put into that, is every bit as much for your strongman lifts, so for anyone watching... respect to Luke!!! Willing to adapt, change, learn, heal and grow. Always impressed by your honesty, graft, sense of enjoyment and fun in the sport, but also the mentoring and support for your wee bro. You'll be around for a long time yet big man... Alba gu brath!
Well, all I know is that I’ve grown fond of you. You are a winner. Will be on your side. ❤
Streuth you’re bloody working!
one of the best and coolest decisions a strongman could make at your age, im 38 and about to start some mild lifting again after not being in the gym for most of decade and really look forward to seeing how it affects my body at this age to work out differently than i used to
much love for the stoltman brothers!!
So proud of what big Luke and Tommy Boy have built there in Scotland. Would love to come visit the gym for some fun someday, and jump in the icy cold water.
You have always got to look too yourself, good luck with the coach. Looking forward to seeing you on the podium next in WSM. You are one of the best, keep doing what you are doing.
I love both you and Tom but for a few years I’ve often thought you should be training to suit your self your body etc excited to see how the new regime will benefit you in up coming times, and there’s no way yer wee laddie won’t think his dads the strongest man in the world that’s a given ,
I am SO excited by this change for you. The new training looks like it's doing you good already!
Yes! Thank you!
Its always so nice to see the Stoltman approach. Even when its a slog they obviously having fun. Such great energy
Get after it brother!!! You are one of the very best in the world, and there's still time to add to your legacy!! I have faith you can get where you need to be, to set yourself apart!
It's good to shake things up once in a while. You definitely still have some big results in you before hanging up the gloves.
Definitely!
Congratulations on the impending Scotland's Strongest Baby!
Shane is an incredible coach and you are my favorite strongman Luke! I look forward to seeing where the rest of your career goes!
🌶️🌶️🌶️
The best example for strongman for me right there!
knowing where your weakness lies I think is half the battle. Your self focus attention is way overdue, so onwards and upwards and the very best of luck
Best of luck for 2024, Luke! We all know that you'll do great
Delighted to hear you are not retiring and excited to see how you get on with the new coach. You are a top guy. Stay spicy
Excited to see what 2024 looks like for you Luke!
Got some huge things to come. Your gonna be an amazing dad, and you're always going to be the most inspirational strongman to myself and many others.
Can't wait!
Tom has grown so much in recent years, no doubt in part thanks to Luke. Nothing wrong with some Luke-time now. I'm sure Tom knows Luke will be rooting for him at every comp anyway.
I'm always cheering on Tom nearly as loud as luke does but I soooo want luke to get what he deserves after giving so much to his brother, that world strongest man title 🏆💪
If you retired now, you’d still be the strongest man in the world to your son. There’s no feeling that compares with it.
With that said, glad you’ve got a time to refresh and can’t wait to see you back at it full strength!
Thanks buddy much appreciated 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Luke, glad to see you make these changes. You know what you have to do so keep doing it and stay healthy as you advance. Looking forward to seeing you at Britain’s and Arnold UK to see your progress headed into WSM.
Great move,Luke. Proud of you!❤
Based on this workout I'd bet money that Luke's new coach is Shane from MST systems.
Cannot be more proud of you Luke. So many people have said how much they love you, me included. Doesn't mean anything changes between you and Tom. Just a wee bit more competitive maybe, but that's good fun!!
Hope the new training gets you back to the WTF winning form.
When you do retire from competing get into MCing. There's noone the competitors would want to hear on the mic cheering them on than you. You are the GOAT hype man 👍
Keep your chin up, big man. Focus on yourself like you are you never know ow what can come of it. Hoping to see you competing for years to come. Stay spicy
So glad to hear you are prioritizing your own training more this season. I have no doubt you will benefit greatly from all the mobility and accessory work. Looking forward to witnessing the continued growth of The Highland Oak.
That's the plan!
We are all behind you Luke, smash these next few years!!
Mace is a great idea to open the shoulder up - but given your lack of rotation in the shoulder you should start with behind the head only, pendulums. Take your arms back as far as you can currently go and just using wrist flicks, get the bell swinging side to side while your hands stay behind your head. A minute with your right hand on top, then a minute with the left on top. Do that several times a day and over the next couple of weeks you'll get your hands further and further back. I had a similar issue and now I can pendulum with my hands all the way down at t-shirt level, and the 360s are easy both sides now
I wish you every success. Rehab training takes a mass of mental strength as it is boring and repetitive. I admire your stalwart spirit.
Absolutely right on Luke, when i see Mitch looking for very single trick in thre book to get himself into the best shape possible, it reminds me of F1 racing. Your the car, you need hte best race engineers, designers, nutrientalists (if that's the correct phrase) possible to be the best. I would loved to have seen a coach yelling and supporting you in the gym ..hopefully your getting that. Be safe and stay spicy
My son is autistic and the way Luke is the way with his brother is nothing short of amazing. What a lovely man you are 😊
😍🌶️
Love the change i look forward to seeing you at the next shaw classic. Go get that W big dawg! Your love for your sport and the massive work you commit to it is a great blessing to all current and future strong ass mofos. Big respect Luke!
I am actually thrilled to hear you say you are going to be selfish for the next year or two. I love and admire all you've done for big Tom and think you've truly given us one of the greatest strongman in your bro but you've also hindered your own greatness a bit in doing so and I know at least for me personally I'm excited as hell to see what you can do! Love ya both and hope to see a Stolman 1&2 at the WSM!
Luke you have done the right thing and good luck to you mate
I think this is a brilliant move Luke! Hammer your weaknesses and you will show the world next year at WSN you're one of the best strongmen in the world.
Go out there and smash it Luke. Really looking forward to seeing you smash your limits and dominate the strongman stage.
If you sort your shoulder out, that’s a win. Because you can then make positive steps. Good luck Luke.
I'm so glad to here this you need to concentrate on your own game show everyone who you are as a big brother myself you always think more about wot your brother's are doing and supporting them but sometimes you have to put your self first
From the outside it looks as if you're a significant part of Toms two WSM titles. Those are also your achievement kinda haha.
It's great you're trying to get the best out of yourself atm, really commendable
Keep going strong!❤❤
I am rooting for you to keep raising your level Luke. Giving everything you can in your efforts is all anyone can do. Onwards and upwards 💪💪🌶🌶🌶
You are still one of top ten in the world and still have a chance in winning the big one.
I’m pleased you found yourself a new coach as i think you and Tom totally different athletes and need work on fitness as well as strength
I look forward to continuing watching one my favourite athletes
Thank you kindly
Hello Luke, first off all you look Amazing! What a body! Ok, the fact that you weren't invited to Arnold's is shameful on their part. Your one of the top strongmen in the world and have proven that over and over again! So that pisses me off that you weren't invited. I love your new routine and the way it's being 🎥 filmed. You and Tom came a long way together, but the decision to go with a different coach will bring you both to higher levels. Luke, you got this. You're one of the best strongmen in the world 🌎 and you're loved by so many of us. May God continue to bless you on your journey and bring you victory in your life. God bless the family! 💯🙏♥️🌻👶👨👩👧
Much love from Rhode Island, Terry
I'd love to see it be Big Loz coaching Luke for his final few years if it hasn't already been announced.
would be something new and fresh just for Luke to focus on himself and to spice it up 🌶️
You have accomplished a lot Luke
Proud of you, I imagine this will be good for your relationship with Tom too. One less thing, you’re still brothers and business partners. ✌️
Absolutely love this!!! You are one of the best in the world (and my fave as you know) you have done your duty with Tom (who we all love) but it needs to be your time. So glad you are taking this move and excited to see your progress. Thanks champ
Wow, thank you!
You’re still my favorite in the game Luke. I relate to your content and approach to life and lifting so much. Focus on you and you’ll be fighting for a podium again. Looking forward to learning from your new approach. Stay spicy! 🌶️
Legend!
I've had shoulder problems in my left side for20 years. I
Wouldn't listen heavy training all the time then tore my side delt. Rehab and physio sorted that but then this year popped the right. Another 3 months of b.shit training finally back to moving some decent weight just do the work luke. I feel every bit of pain i saw in you. Keep the faith.
Oh I'm 51 year young. Frigg the people that say old age stop training. Ask them to stop breathing for an hour😅😅
Good on you Luke. Sometimes we just need a new fresh approach to squeeze a little more out of ourselves.
Focusing on yourself, making you the best version of yourself you can be, isn't a decision made lightly. Bravo. Love the Stoltman Brothers, but support for one doesn't mean the other should sacrifice themselves. Keep moving forwards. Be kind.
Good choice Luke, concentrate on yourself and your soon to be family of 3, hope it works out, we need the Stoltmans not just a Stoltman
That's the plan!
Functional movements with the heavy mace doing 360's and kettlebell halo's along with light high rep cuban presses sorted many years of shoulder issues for me within a few months,
i look forward to following your program for increased shoulder range of movement, pain is the prize, change is the reward, keep on keeping it spicy.....
Brilliant way forward,callisthenics are harder than they look, you go there strong as a house and come out humbled , keep up the great work buddy
moving forward
🎉
I would love to see you work with Sebastian Oreb. He worked wonders with Thor's deadlift.
He did work with Seb for a short period years ago.
Congrats on making the change, can’t wait to see the even more amazing things you accomplish! ❤
Thank you so much!!
top 10 in the world for the last several years. do what you need to do for you.
Fair one I say. I mean you still have sponsors, stoltman gym academy and the gym itself. Plus lots of other little side hustles to be earning from! You have a young family and wife after all. Retire but still keep with the filming in Scotland and abroad. You will be there to support Tom anyway, so it obvious that you will never step away entirely. Seniors events & comps to look to do also.
I’ve always thought you could win worlds strongest man but it’s your mindset that lets you down! Focus on the goal and be confident In yourself be the alpha!!
Kids think he's old but reality is 35-45 your at your strongest, what tends to get you by late 30's is mileage depending on how long and how fortunate with injuries you have been. But there is no deterioration from age at that point. But I'm sure a teenager or 20 something nubie who wasn't alive when I started will try and correct me.
makes sense, best of luck!
Well done Luke. Great video. Always a tough decision to focus on yourself however it’s a good decision! Still so much in the tank for you. And then you can always smash masters….. ❤❤❤
Sorry, who's your new coach? I must have missed it. Good luck with the new training methods. We'll keep our fingers crossed for the new season and look forward to seeing you in competitions.
