He's always like "that's what works for me" and fair enough it makes sense but people are interested in his hindsight on strongman way more than in a neatly packaged video with him hitting 6 different machines that supposedly "carry over to strongman"

    Thanks for the videos Brother! I greatly appreciate your insight and sharing of techniques, especially when you previously broke down that you don't have to do 10k calories a day and so forth!

  • @jedinxf7

    this is a great collab and really makes you appreciate how hard yokes are. I assumed it wasn't as hard just from knowing what walking out a heavy squat feels like, but seeing Greg and knowing how strong he is puts into perspective how hard the WSM level weights rly are.

  • @brianfox340

    I see some.... questionable videos/advice from Greg, and am not necessarily a fan of his, but I absolutely have to give him the respect he deserves for trying this (admittedly weird af) movement publicly on youtube. EVERYONE looks like an idiot when they first try yoke, and it's humbling. He picked it up quickly, and had a great attitude even when he was struggling. Love to see it, and respect to him.

  • @canostrengthcano7850
    @canostrengthcano7850 Před rokem +1

    I’m thinking the yoke was harder for them because of the crossbar being upside down. I ran my old yoke couple times like that. And it allows the uprights to bounce in and out( left and right) since the part of the cross bar that usually sleeves the upright are not stabilizing them down towards the bottom where the weight is , either way freakish yoke carry!

    That’s still very impressive. People should try to do high partial squats with even 650-750 pounds in a power rack. Try lifting it off the safety pins and if you can try supporting that weight for 7- 10 seconds. That will give you a idea how strong M. Hopper is. He made it look easy.

    I woul like to ask a general question to the community:
    Any thoughts why the recent WSM are so "small"?
    Mitch is insanely strong but relatively light.
    There was the time of Shawn, Hall, Björnson, Big Z... with the winners always having a bw of near 200kg.
    Since 2019 a lot of "light" athlets are winning or in the top 3.
    Stoltmans are still heavy but not close to 200.
    What changed?
    More speed related events in the competition?
