„FUCK FUCK FUCK“ „Not quiet sure what he‘s saying in Norwegian there but im guessing he‘s not very happy“ commentary gold at 2:40 right there 😂😂
I think its fan, fan, fan. It's a common curse in those areas. Loosely translate damn, damn, damn
The dude was sweedish tho? And you can say that in sweedish too
@@avlinrbdig5715 He's norwegian - but you're correct. Faen/fan (Norwegian/Swedish) is basically the same word. I'd place it somewhere between "damn" and "fuck", in terms of profanity level. Damn would be Pokker, fuck would be Helvete. Faen/fan is a middle ground.
...we got a pretty wide range of curse words in Scandinavia. ;)
That's right up there with the "let's go Brandon!" reporter 😂
I love watching the old shows and comparing how the safety and equipment has advanced over the years. Those older dudes are just lucky to have made it through the events without loss to life or limb. It's amazing.
I think that definately added an awe factor to the sport
That was the point. Wondrous to behold
@@SmokePurp305 I don't agree - it was an absolute organizational shit-show of a mess for competitors to fairly win or lose.
It's a strong man sport not a hopscotch competition
30:40 "Zydrunas quietly drowns in the background." 😂
Chloe Brennan lifting the replica Dinnie stones at the Arnold’s will never not make me cry! Just phenomenal ❤
One of the best moments in sports!
A huge eye opener for sure
moment which seems almost out of this world !! probably one of the greatest moments in sports ever. shows the power of the will
Yes! And love seeing Dr. Jan Todd, first woman to lift them, in the background behind Chloe, reacting & cheering her on! Loved it!
……will always make me cry.
"Svend Karlson, not quite sure what he's saying in Norwegian there." 😂
I guess I understand Norwegian now
Faaaackkkk
Abit late, but he is danish but we northmen are all the same, cheers from sweden
Faen, faen, faen. Faen is a simplified form of the Norwegian word "fanden", which is an old term used for the devil.
Is he danish? But he is called karlson
Number 92. - Eddie winning deadlift in WSM2017 by pulling 472kg is top1 on my list. Such weight after that many events. One thing I would add to the list would be 2017 Kieliszkowski's plane pull. He was a new guy, he had little muscle, little experience and won an event which favors heavy guys, even though he was the lightest. Mindblowing.
So glad Myers got that dumbbell after the error.
Chloes lift was simply mindboggling, sheer grit and determination, amazing stuff.
Rhiannon Lovelace 600lb deadlift at only 64kg bodyweight is a pretty 'holy shit' moment
Loz could you do a video on strongman records that are unbreakable? Mariuz winning by 20 points and Big Z claiming 8 Arnolds would have to be up there.
seconded
Mariuz's 5 titles is unlikely to be broken. The last decade has seen the sport grow a lot, and there are many more 'professional' strongmen coming up through the ranks. It's like when Tiger Woods dominated golf and inspired an entire generation of fathers and sons to train from basically birth to become pro golfers. It's so hard to win a major in golf compared to when Tiger first stepped on the scene because of what his legacy inspired.
Strongman is so competitive now, and the margins between victory and 4th place are very thin. No chance anyone breaks that 20 point margin, and sustaining success at the highest level for 6 victories is going to be nearly impossible.
Just came here to make sure OD getting ROBBED was in this list. Absolutely outrageous!
Great list. Here are a few others I like:
-Brian Shaw max atlas stone WR in 2016(?) with a torn hamstring
-Sam Belliveau circus dumbbell WR (beating the openweight WR as a middleweight)
-Mateusz Kieliszkowski frame carry WR from the 2022 Arnold
-Victoria Long easy 295 kg elephant bar deadlift WR
-Hafþór Björnsson weight over bar WR at the 2022 Rogue (even after slimming down)
-Inez Carrasquillo and Olga Liashchuk being the only two to finish the sandbag to shoulder medley at WSW 2022
-Asko Karu 482 kg stiff bar deadlift with only standard straps in training
-Rhianon Lovelace axle deadlift WR
-Rob Kearney on the heavy super yoke in the 2019 WSM heats
-Adam Bishop on the axle deadlift for reps at Giants Live (matching Oleksii Novikov for first, but Adam didn’t use a suit)
-Rauno Heinla 580 kg silver dollar deadlift
-Seven 1,000 lb+ pulls at the 2021 World Deadlift Championships
-Andrea Thompson log press feats (WR for max weight and/or 125 kg American Oak for 5 reps)
Don't forget Martins climbing the wheel of pain at the ASC 2019
Add the Mark Henry arnold axle press
@@David-337dn thats honestly the most freakish strength ive ever seen he came out of nowhere with 3 month training in strongman and just repped what the others couldnt even lift he is a true fucking freak of nature 🤣🤣🤣
I write to appreciate the amount of work you have done with this video (and all your videos ofc). We dont appreciate it loud enough sometimes. Many thanks for this 🙂🙏
Best compilation I’ve seen! Awesome work, Loz!!
THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING! One of many many times I'll rewatch it
Wow, what a great video, guys!! That must have taken a ton of time and research. A few takeaways...old strongman events were crazy dangerous...Chloe's lift and reaction hit me in the feels...Kaz is definitely the scariest strongman ever
Great video. Some amazing and some hilarious moments. That barrel race had me in creases 😂
Kazmaier is a fucking legend. Strongman is far from a big time sport, but his contributions should definitely be recognized in his homeland.
Tom McGee psyching himself up was epic. Also Jouko Ahola winning on his first attempt and at such a light weight compared to the others was a holy s moment.
Missed your videos, great compilation.
Loved the list
Loz needs more subs keep it up these are gold no better man to commentate, always top notch commentary.
Great selection Loz! Been a WSM fan my whole life and still haven't seen some of these from qualifiers and old events. Superb.
The belsak bounce had me clenching every muscle in my body because just a slip up and he could get really hurt
Well played to him for pulling that off
One of my favorite moments.
The other athletes after belsak then tried to copy the technique, so judges were fine with it
Always dangerous to bounce one's belsak
All the dancing strongmen and you left the best one out 🤪🤣
Great video, it was very much enjoyed!
Great video, really enjoyed watching this
Absolutely love this sport, great content.
What a great video Loz, many thanks.
Great to see you back, have missed your videos
fantastic mix of pioneers of strength and entertainment, long may strongman be upon us.
What an amazing compilation ❤
Great channel Loz! Cheers!
nice video, Uncle Loz! Thank you!
amazing video !
This was awesome 👌 💯 much love from Canada 🇨🇦 Brothers.
Amazing video. Not a single dud. I love some of the deeper picks like JF vs Jerry at the first SC.
I was surprised Martins blitzing the stones over post at the 2021 Rogue after everyone else struggled with it so hard wasn't on your list.
Chloe's lift is one of the best moments on here for sure.
Watching young Savickas have a atlas stone drop on his stomach at first strongman to being one of the atlas stone champs and lift the Austrian oak. 🎉🎉🎉 Bravo 👏
Mateusz Kieliszkowski placing 4th at the first Rogue Invitational after zeroing one event (almost zeroing two, really) was another amazing one for me.
Great list, some of my favorite moments in Strongman here, no doubt. ... And some of my least. Watching Glenn Ross cry in 2000 when he missed out of the final, and anything Stone Off related.
36 was the one I was waiting for; Pfisters prediction is by far one of my favorite moments as a fan, second only to when Phil started locking out those natural stones in 2006 and I totally knew he was actually going to make good on it.
That head to head between JF Caron and Jerry Pritchett. There is no quit in either one of those guys and that's still probably my favorite moment so far from the Shaw Classic.
Big Z and Mariusz were absolutely incredible in their day. Along with Brian and the consistency of Thor, they've got to be the best Strongmen ever.
You got to give it up to Mitch Hooper on all of his appearances on here too. Absolutely incredible athlete, and crazy determination.
A few honorable mentions.
Berend Veneberg being the first guy to beat out a returning WSM Champion for his spot in WSM at Strongest Man in the Netherlands 1993. (Great competition too)
Jouko Ahola, like Magnus Ver Magnusson also won WSM in his first appearance in 1997.
How about Regin Vagadal in 1996? The most famous man in the Faroe Islands, winning his heat having never even seen at least most of the events in the Competition.
Lazlo Fekete making the 1999 final, 9 years after he last competed at Worlds in 1990. The gap between appearances beaten only by Travis Ortmayer. (2011-2021)
Also worth mentioning though everybody already knows it. Between 2009 - 2016 no one won WSM other than Zydrunas Savickas and Brian Shaw.
Lastly, "Stupid Event" 🤣 Got to Give it up to Loz for defeated a peak Thor Bjornsson in the 2016 Europe's Strongest Man.
great finds from some of the older/more obscure shows
Kaz’s sausage hold 😂😂😂
Well done Loz.
Loved it, some great old footage
Unbelievably dangerous and unsporting behavior by Kaz starting at 3:45. He almost killed his own teammate.
Great video!!!
So epic!
The only venue where power mullets still look par for the day. Great vid. Loved the Kaz segments.
Awesome video.
When it comes to sheer willpower, nobody beats Shivlyakov.
As you say in the outro, always awesome content! 👌 💪
This was a great video. Man, I forgot how crazy Kaz was, lmao
that was awesome!
Jamie Reeves opening our new shop in 1990 is my best strongman memory.
We had him pull a narrow boat which was comically easy for him then he stayed and armwrestled all the kids and a few over zealous adults for the rest of the day. Safe to say nobody got the better of him, although a few of the kids did come close.
Everyone had a great time and he seemed like a really decent bloke.
The best content ❤️
Great list
Glad you enjoyed it
Mitch Hooper is an incredible athlete, he always comes across like it's all no biggy but I saw a tear on his cheek when you had your arm around him Uncle Loz!
Epic video!
Nothing beats big Z's 4 reps on the Austrian Oak log ❤
Thanks for all the goosebumps.
Great list and great video Loz. Thank you!
I would put Derek Poundstone from Fortissimus 2008 on the list when he lift the third and final natural stone when no other could. Even Big Z thought he had the win in that competition.
Thanks!
Awesome!!!!
Good walk down memory lane. Lot of editing. Well done.
That Kaz train pull, every time I see it my hamstrings and glutes just fire. Always was a motivation at the gym when pulling weight behind you, never got past an SUV, but still lol
In a sport of 400lb monsters...chloe brennan's dinnie stone lift might unironically be the most impressive lol
I think it is almost ironic in itself
I grew up watching WSM competitions, so this drew me back to childhood memories. I've always admired these guys for the strength and discipline they exhibit physically, but mentally as well to train up to those weights. Just wild to think what a human is capable of during moments of adrenaline.
Awesome video! I was getting a bit worried about you, Liz and Loz,, after an unusually long hiatus between videos, but now I know what you were up to!
and hopefully having a well deserved break as well. :)
45 always gets me. Slapping Derek mid lift was beyond disrespectful in my opinion. Wish Poundstone won a title at least once.
I agree. He was so close too. Especially when you hear how much of an asshole the Dominator was. Would've been happier to see Poundstone get that.
31:33 The Moose making Canada proud, BAYBEE! I was so happy when this happened. An elite athlete, and genuinely good guy.
I am surprised Hugo Girard is not on the list
Excellent
Thanks for making this Liz n Loz, one of the most enjoyable vids I've watched on youtube.
Really glad you enjoyed it :)
Big Z is the best strongman to ever live imo.
lol that muttered insult on the Thor's Hammer clip, gg Loz
great vid
Thanks for using my vid @10:01 💪💪💪💪
Love this vid. My top three is Samuelsson breaking Megamans arm, The Dominators performance and Halls 500kg deadlift :)
I really enjoyed this video and I’m grateful for the time you put into editing it, but it went by so fast that I couldn’t really appreciate all of the individual segments. Maybe you can do a series of shorter videos in which you spend a bit more time explaining each highlight. Each video could have a theme: era, event, type of highlight, etc. 😊
OD losing his balance running uphill and appears to throw the barrel over the edge of the bridge, while bumping into the half-wall…. Hysterical!!!! Add in the complete lack of safety for the competitors and the public!
I loved this entire collage!
Ripping phone books in half isn't a feet of strength, its a side show trick. I learned to do it at 13 or 14 years old. There is a technique to it that makes it very easy, almost anybody can do it with absolutely no strength training.
Don’t be such a hoser eh
Yeah. One page at a time is the proper technique.... I was able to do it at the age of 4
Jon Paul was such a fucking character!! Fucking awesome list too btw.
Thank you for making an honest video, without trying to sell me something
How is Derek Poundstone lifting the 530 pound Louis Cyr natural stone not on here?
That was an awesome moment for sure 👌
Svend -"FAAAAAAK!!!"... probably wins anyway 😂
Chloe is probably the most impressive pound for pound to touch the dinnies. And i will die on the hill of saying Biby didnt lock his left arm on the log wr
It did look iffy. I reckon he'll do better on his next record
Hello from Winnipeg! That 5’6” strong man had huge legs! Wow, reminded me of a wrestler we used have , the little bulkster
I am missing ESM 2016 😉 Beating Thor that year is definetely worth mentioning!
the atlas stone bounce still cracks me up tho xDDDD
kaz was such a character when he competed!
I understand about the importance of safety, more standardized events, etc., and that's better for the athletes, the older events are so much cooler and more fun to watch. And, man. if events were still so varied and athletic Mariusz could've won 15 years in a row or something. Crazy
Great video. My favourite moment is #99, Zydrunas repping the 205kg log makes me giddy even to this day. The mogging is further increased by the fact that the ASC discontinued the 205kg log after his departure
I know Thor broke the record with 501, but there was something unreal about Eddie doing 500 the first time. That era of Eddie Hall was such a monster of determination.
the last injury was crazy dropping the atlas stone , Eddie Hall and the 500kg deadlift
I fucking LOVE that Neil narrates these events most of the time. and if you dont know the fucking LEGEND Neil Pickup. You aint from our cloth.
I used to watch all these in middle school. The real old ones
15:03 this one was insane - Mateus in a class of his own in this event.
Boy this brings back memories from my childhood watching WSM at Christmas whilst eating my bodyweight in chocolate 🍫😂😂😂
29:15 that's the first CrossFit WOD ever 😂😂😂
2:40 that is an amazing bit of commentry
You have great video ideas.
You must have the most knowledge of strongman in the world.
I hope to see more great content in the future
Minute zero and I'm going to guess that Big Z makes at least 15 appearances. He's the best of ALL TIME people, easily.
