Thank you, guys, for watching! We are sorry for the delayed upload. Uhhh…Training!
You can watch that on here too. Tues, Thursday, Friday!
You look like you have leaned out quite a bit.
Wow just hands down wow.. what a series ☝️💪
This epic strong man experience, seeing the sportsmanship and hearing the stories.
Thanks a lot the WRECK IT TEAM are the best.
If i Could give Rate, 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Love to see my Scandinavia.
In next year you guys could come to Poland and train with Mateusz 💪
Will you go to Mateusz or Mariusz Pudzianowski?
15:15 Big Z pointing out a rainbow, smiling big, and the camera panning to no rainbow made me laugh so hard
Hahahah me too
I too, am an average nature enjoyer. I had a rainbow where I lived as well yesterday.
10:30 lol, when he started talking about how far the gym was away from his house, I was expecting it to be hours away, and then he says it's 10 minutes 😂
for a strongman that's too much cardio haha
Lol
i lold hard at that ngl
Big Z mic'd up while he's lifting is hilarious. He sounds like an electric scooter.
lolol. So true
Haha... I think that's what controlled aggression sounds like!
I was thinking about a very angry cat.
Try to yoke 600kg like him in Arnold's we will see what noise you make ;-)
@@e.c.9468 I know what noise I'll make. Mostly crackling sounds :D
His trophy room is insane. Puts the volume of his accomplishments in a visual metric, and it's astounding to see honestly.
It looks like a shop!
There's another room
It’s really absurd how good he was and for how long
He's truly the GOAT
I died at 15:10
"Rainbow"
Romarc pans over to nothing and there is still a sense of accomplishment pointing it out
lol I liked how Big Z was like "huh, rainbow. :)"
Rainbows can be very hard to capture on video, they can be very faint.
Human eyes have a much higher dynamic range than most cameras, making rainbows hard to capture on video.
Nice to see Big Z relaxed and laughing, what a great guy. Well done to Martins and Romark for showing this side of him, great episode 👏
He is obviously a nice guy but not someone you want to upset. Even if wI didn't know he was GOAT it's just something you can understand.
"Gym is very far. I need to drive 10 minutes..." This guy is a comedy genius! 😂
Big z - “some events are good for me now”
Begins to list all events, truly a 🐐
But he still has two rooms full of world class strength champion trophies 🏆 do you ? lol
"The strenght I hold, I cannot claim all credit for. Every generation of strenght pushed the next. Their is a homage owed to those who inspired us"
This is probably the most beautiful thing I heard from strongman. Sounds like it is straight from an antic philosopher text.
Thats the truth. I can say i got very proportional and muscular body. People come up to me regularly and give me compliments. I always answer: Its not me. It`s my parents and their parents. I`m gonna say thanks to them when i get home.
strength
Big Z sounds like an industrial tank on the verge of exploding when he's shifting tin. Absolute legend in the world of strength.
Big Z is the definition of Power Belly.
we desperately need a video of him training with Grizzly
I love how Big Z instantly picked Brian Shaw first in his team because he acknowledges how good he is. Likewise Brian holds such a high regard for Big Z.. I love the respect in Strongman and proud to be part of this community.
Big Z is an absolute legend.. Great collab
Don’t disrespect big z like that he’s more than legendary
Magnús Ver Magnússon and Big Z .. meeting them goes on the bucket list! ..
@Jon Harsrm, I would have loved to meet Jon Pall Sigmarsson.
People keep saying that if Brian can win his 5th, he will be the greatest... people keep saying if Tom can win a couple more and the Arnold's, he will go down as the greatest... to them I say, Look at that man's trophy room!! Big Z is the greatest because he has not only won the biggest shows multiple times, but most of the littler shows as well. The only contests he has not won are the ones that got started after his semi-retirment or was not invited too. I LOVE all Strongmen! I love this sport! And I cheer for everyone. But Biz Z is Big Z. The greatest ever!
Also, super glad to see Big Z is living comfortably. It breaks my heart when a hero of mine is coming to the end of their career and are broke or having to do embarrassing things to pay bills.
Noone will ever again win the Arnolds for 8 times!
Hear hear
Brian has a crap ton of trophies from many many shows. I think it’s too close to call between Big Z and Brian
@@rmmm6725 No one comes close to Z, Brians great but he focused on 2 major comps each year, Z went to every single one and won most
These videos have been supremely well done. Editing, shots, voice over work, everything. Very cool to see your travels.
When Romark and Martins were singing Big Z happy birthday it made me genuinely happy
Verrry happy
bloody hell now that's a trophy room.
Big Z really is the GOAT.
And some weren't even there. Some are in a museum in town!
21:39 Big Z- “thanks” seems like a genuine man. And helping Martins with racking weight. Cool guy
Very wholesome
Cool of you to track Raimonds down. He was part of the generation that got me into strongman, many of them don't do social media so it's always nice to catch up with them this way.
He was one of my hero’s as a kid. Thanks Martins.
I love seein Big Z reppin Brian's gear. Despite their rivalry, they seem to be good friends.
oh yeah theyre great buddies, you can find videos of them hanging out
It's definitly not Thor vs Eddie rivality
I guess they had some bad years in their prime. But maybe, at this level you can't be best buddies...
I remember watching an interview with Brian in 2010 where he said that he and Z didn't like each other. But that's normal rivalry. They've buried the hatchet long ago and seem to get along well now.
@@guanjun1178 I think a lot of that stemmed from Brian's wife, Kerry. She was formerly married to another strongman who had passed away, and I think Big Z was close buddies with him. I can't say with 100% certainty but I recall reading something along those lines a year or so back on a reddit thread. I think some of the beef came from that, and them being top competitors probably is what brought it over to a boil.
The amount of trophies Big Z has is insane. He's truly the greatest of all time
Bro 😎👍🏻🌟🏆💪
Big Z is to strongman what Ronnie Coleman is to bodybuilding...absolute legend!
"The gym is soo far, like ten minute"
~Big Z
I felt my eyes widen when I saw Big Z's trophy wall
Just love to see Big Z, chill relax and calm ... and no sense of big ego regardless to the big achievements he had in the strength games. totally a principle
Besides Brian, he may be the most "set-up" Strongman post-career. Eddie's up there, Thor's got some things going on, and Mariusz is still living his life in the trucking business. I knew about his place, but he's a serious figure in his country.
@@a-a-rondavis9438 Winning 40K USD buys a lot more in 2010's Lithuania than in US.
This was a real treat. Big Z was my favorite for a long time and now Martins is. Great to see you guys together! Maybe Martins can take Z up on some of that coaching????
At 19:56 Big Z says he did 750 kg yoke in training which is heavier than the current official W.R. of 711 kg at the arnolds 2017.
Both Brian Shaw and JF deadlifted 1k lbs or 456kg in a video in like 2018 or 2019 in training, Brian has yet to officially deadlift that in a competition with normal weights no elephant bar deadlift hummer tire, etc
Heaviest competition Super Yoke was at the Arnold's, and it was 1565 lbs. Brian had the fastest time, and I think Brian and Thor may be the only ones to complete it, maybe Mateusz as well. Dude's a freak with heavy yoke.
@@thefiendboxing1639 That has nothing to do with the original comment.
@@a-a-rondavis9438 1565 pounds is 711.3 kg which is the official W.R. , big z said he did 750 kg which 1650 pounds in training which is more than the W.R but still unofficial.
If it was anyone else you would doubt it, but its probably true, he is the goat after all.
there is something extremely graceful about lifting with silence
Big Z's trophy room puts every other strongman's to shame. It's not even close.
You may have to give Romark a raise if he keeps making these world class mini-documentaries.
@7:28 - Big Z casually mentioning he has something like 250 trophies & it being difficult to remember all the trophies.
I strive to be as chill as Z everyday. Please continue making more of these throughout the years.
It’s simple, just be very happy
Yeah super simple, just have the genetics to be the very best to ever live at a sport and that’s it……
This is some of the best Strongman content ever!
The fact big zs first name was brian without even bli king says so much about the battles an respect they have for each other
I absolutely love this series. It reminds me of History Channel's Strongest Man in History series they did but this feels way more personal. If Martins ever gives up strongman I'd love to see him have his own TV series
That has to be one of the largest and most packed trophy rooms ever. I'd like to see a special on top level strongman trophy collections.
No one is even closer, most of the others competed only in the bigger shows... Big Z competed for the most time and did every kind of competition, owning them all
@@SoulGr0ove I bet you're right on that. But it would be cool to see some other competitors walls of achievements.
Mariusz had second most international wins with 41, Z has 82.
You could do a thousando colabs before Martins, love you for sure, but none colabs I've watched so far. But saw Big Z on the title?? Clicked IMMEDIATELY, like in 0.01 second. Z is simply the Goat of modern strength athletics. 😉
You're missing out
Honestly, Martin has the best fitness content on this entire platform. The videos are so well edited and never tries to do too much just for viewership. Never change man, you are doing amazing work here
I love how most strongman that do youtube vlogs of their training are talkative and loud. When Big Z is training it's like a church. So peaceful.
I’m assuming those cows were curious as to why there was a dragon in their field.
Love this series. So cool to see this side of the baltics, they don’t teach this in school. Looking forward to more of these! Thanks Martins and Romark!
I've said it before...I'll say it again. Elite level content. Cheers, guys!!
Damn you can hear Martins knees!
Big Z a legend st 47 just killin it
A gym on your front porch…goals!
Big Z is an machine. Too me; The back-to-back competitions he does makes him a machine. Training privately he sounds like a machine!
Z is still so powerful! Great to see you two together.
3:38 First time heard his name with that (proper?) pronunciation!
The Z in Zydrunas is a little weird, but he says Savickas like Big Z himself, so its at least partially correct
The "Z" is actually "Ž" and it's pronounced like the French "J"
If you ask why big z is the goat just watch his throphy collection
6:21 "How old are you Big Z?"
Big Z: "7 Years?"
I believe him, this man's not even hit his prime 😂😂😂
Your farm is so idyllic and beautiful. The Baltic area has some of the prettiest landscapes anywhere! Lithuanian is indeed one of the oldest Indo-European languages- in that it preserves many of the original features that linguists believe go back thousands of years that other IE languages lost over time.
If big Z became a strongman coach, it would be the most legendary line of strongmen ever
One of the first time I'm on Martins's channel. I really like his narrative and the editing. It's like watching a documentary. Well done guys ! 👍
That was amazing love seeing Big Z having fun with his b day and seeing such beutiful countryside.
Watching this makes me Very Happy
❤️love this video - so heartfelt. Great to see Big Z laughing ❤️❤️
His trophies have their own trophies. Hard to imagine the work that went into all those. That's like 5 long successful strongman careers in one.
Big Z seems to have halted the aging process... Nice
18:05, confirmed Big Z is part cyborg.
Wow you can actually HEAR the power flowing out of zyndrunas
Big Z is so chill
👍🏻🏆💪🌟😎🧊
Super! Prieks, ka parādīji savu dzimto sētu un vispār Latviju! Ceru, ka biežāk redzēšu LV karogu Tavos video! 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻
I love how you guys get back to basics and give amazing insight into the lives and the grassroots of strength unknown. Loving this series.
Once again you guys have combined some amazing videography with a great story and strongman heroes. Beautiful.
Thanks so much for this episode. I am a huge fan of strongman and getting to see Big Z when he was relaxed and not in competition mode, was awesome.
This might be my favourite video you've done. A sincere, beautiful treat. Thank you
This was so great. Good to see Big Z being able to enjoy his many years of hard work also. Great series. Thank you 👏
Amazing video, and BigZs compound of strength is gorgeous.
Martins! You and the team are absolutely killing it with these strength unknown videos!
Great job dude this is awesome💪🏻
Such a fantastic series. I really enjoyed the whole thing, including learning about your family's history. Very cool idea from you and Romark.
Really love the strongman brotherhood. Amazing Big Z is still going. Such an inspiration.
Thank you, Martins, for this series. Oh, and thank you as well, Romark.
No. Thank you!!!!
Seeing his trophy room I don’t see how anyone can pass Big Z as the goat
Thor MAYBE had a chance if he didn't retire early.
Magical series of video's Martins thoroughly enjoyable and informative
You just have to love what these guys are doing... this series has been so inspiring! THank you so much for this Martins, Roman, and team!
Much love from Barcelona!!!
Incredible. So cool to see these legends in their homes and habitat 😎 Amazing work, Romark and Martins, and thank you!
Big z look’s like the sweetest strongman ever you can see it in his eyes and smile he wants to do good with what he has and knows !! Love that man 🙏🏼
Love the format guys, a very easy and enjoyable watch. Keep up the good work.
I don't understand how this channel doesn't have more subscribers and followers! Those "short documentaries" paired perfectly the world of Strongmen and history of the sport. Love it! MARTINNNSSSS!
Thanks!
What a beautiful production! Talk about a relaxing way to end my evening. From the cinematography to the narration; can’t wait for the next one.
Such a cool video and so inspirational!! I'm completely new to the Strongman world (apart of having seen it sometimes on tv back in the days) and I really find all of you men very inspirational! Really a great community of down to earth indiduals, lots of respect for you guys! Sending Greetings from Switzerland
I’ve been watching a lot of bodybuilding documentaries on Netflix while I work out and this is seriously on the same level of quality as some of the most popular and even better quality than some. Please don’t stop
This episode was incredible ! So much emotions !
Damn you can really hear the intensity from Big Z when he's got the mic and is lifting stuff.
This was a great video and I really enjoyed watching it, these places are so beautiful, I'd almost be depressed if I visited those places and had to go back to the city haha :)
Thank you!
Amazing video, the production value is off the charts!
These episodes are so good, keep them coming.
I love what this vlog brings to the table. Always a fan of strongman.
Amazing video. Always looking forward to the next one!
Amazing stuff guys, ive really enjoyed this series a lot, much love!
This is fantastic. Absolute legends of strength!
This series is so amazingly well done!
Thank you for the content! You are an excellent ambassador for Strongman International & Domestic.
Martin your content is so good I'm loving this series of your traveling and training with people and also showing histories I didn't know about, man the quality of content keeps getting better keep up the great work my friend.
There was a certain tranquility in the whole episode, I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you, And Big Z is a legend!
These are wonderful episodes, and this is the best one yet. Is it just me, or was it strange there was no one else there on Big Z's B-day? He must be a very private, introverted individual.
It could also be birthdays just don't keep up their importance as one ages in Lithuania, like it does in the U.S.. Once you're an adult, no one gives a crap about your birthday, especially if you don't make a big effort to plan one. I do see Big Z as a very reserved individual just living his life with his spouse.
@@a-a-rondavis9438 I agree. One of the many things I like and respect about Big Z is his quiet confidence. He proves you can be an alpha without being the loudest, most belligerent guy in the room. Also, I I wish people in the US would get over the birthday thing once they are adults; it is ridiculous!
You guys should 100% submit these tapes you tv channels! PBS or anyone. I'm not kidding these last 4 episodes are amazing and straight up beautiful
Vytautas Lalas is an amazing Lithuanian strongman that competed against the tall guys. He was under six foot tall but came close to a WSM win.
Great series, looking forward to seeing more!
Hell yeah guys. One of the best ever, if not the best. still remember big z when he started. Soo amazing to see the big guy going strong still. Good luck to u both and God bless.
My two absolute favorite strongmen, love to see it!
Loving these episodes
