- The world of Strongman goes back centuries. As Terry Todd puts it, "This business of lifting weights doesn't just go back fifteen or twenty years. It's an old, old activity." Those age-old activities are still very much alive today.
GREAT video, thanks!
Hey Elliott! Do you know Wout Zijlstra from the Netherlands? He competed in Strongest man competition and Highland games, he's quite the character.
You don't have to be flexible to do deadlifts. However, tight hammies will Jack you're back up, especially for taller guys.
Killer vid Rogue! Great to see some love for strongman!
I love Deadlifts.
that was insanely motivating
Manhood stones... wow
Also called...Balls ;)
What is the name of the song?
Don't have to be flexible to deadlift? ...unless you don't care at all about proper form I'd disagree
let me guess. 155lb for 12 is your PR..
aggelos daniilidis tied with the guy in your pic
aggelos daniilidis so you completely disregard his comment and move on to judge him by assuming that he can't lift very heavy.
Thats exactly right. As for the guy in the pic...He does 415@150bw
mkay
ah......the deadlift. quite possibly the greatest lift ever.
That wooden log is called "samtola"
Who is the ripped guy first in frame, the black and white picture???
Charles Rigoulot
you don't have to be flexible to deadlift? BS
yeah, that statement is bullshit.
You do if your gym has the same opening times as mine does.
I guess they are not as demanding as squats are. Especially on the ankles
yes sure but good luck getting in a good starting position if you have long torso / legs without being flexible.
+Vincent Legent could do sumo DL for that. DL are simple. Its easier to do it properly than squats. People are mostly exegarating the deadlift that you have to do it perfect. No. Just have a straight back and keep the bar near your body.
There's no reason to be alive if you can't do deadlift!
-JPS-
Anyone know the name of the guy at 1:20?
StreetSoldier88 bill kazmaier?
American Bill Kazmaier, ironically.
Bill fuckin Kazmaier, an american
whose the scottish with the glenfiddich whiskey shirt?
I don't know if he is actually Scottish, but he did compete a in the highland games, but he is best known for his appearances in WSM. He won multiple WSM titles and is one of the strongest men to ever lived. His name is Bill Kasmaier.
cheers!
That would be the American bill kazmaier, strongman legend
Gotta love that they showed an American during the Scotland segment.
I am the greatest strongman artist on planet earth....I've drawn all the worlds strongest men
i dont mean to be offending the way im saying it but when i see these movements it just looks like olympic lifting but without the speed... like the "austrian aok" i dont see whats impressive in doing a clean and jerk but in a slow motion... its much more impressive (in my opinion) to do a clean and jerk (two fluid motions with high accuracy, speed and strenght) then lifting a 500lbs log (and thats less the the CandJ records even doing it as slopy as you want to)
I totally understand that, but thats where our interests lie.
Whats more impressive (to me atleast) about pressing a 500lb log above your head vs a much heavier C&J is that the log is an awkward object and meant to challenge.
Where as the barbell was designed in a fashion to give a mechanical advantage to the body so that ridiculous weights can be lifted.
The respect in Olympic lifting comes from training the nervous system to respond to a specific set of circumstances. (Barbell)
In strongman the respect comes from being able to lift heavy weight in any circumstance (log,dumbell, axel, sandbag, stone)
I love both sports but strongman is what captivates my interest most. : )
RRtoiPPiotRR Doesnt the log have hanles in?
Laurent Baril
Yeah- that doesn't mean its not award to lift.
The smallest log (10" diameter) vs a barbell made for the sport of weight lifting.
Try a max weight on both and you will see the difference for your self : )
RRtoiPPiotRR Im not saying that strongman isnt amazing and unique, If I could rephrase my original comment I would actually state that the movements they put are poorly chosen and that there are a lot more of strongman movements then those.
I'm more impressed with the slow lift cause it takes real strength to hold it longer.
