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
He made a video doing push-ups amd one legged squats here we go...
@@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.
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.
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!
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!!!
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 ✊💪💪
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.
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
Luke is an absolute unit. Glad you're still in it and trying something new!
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.
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
Great video and good to see that self reflection, hoping for a big year in 2024 for both you and Tom 💪💪
Ken who is old in the game and still killing it Felix.! You are never to old Keep killing it!
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 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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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❤🌶💪
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.
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!
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.
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
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!
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!
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!
You are one of my favirite Strongman:-) so kind and humble:-)) all the best to your future
Congratulations on the impending Scotland's Strongest Baby!
much love for the stoltman brothers!!
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.
@@user-yj8zs5nn2mI think so too!!!
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!
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 💪💪🌶🌶🌶
Luke the LEGEND stoltman 2 brothers been smashing the strongman for years many more to come I hope
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!
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
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.
The best example for strongman for me right there!
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!
Good for you! That was interesting, Dan is clearly excellent, and so are you, sometimes one needs to do new things. Get stuck into it, you've still got world class performances in you!
Great move,Luke. Proud of you!❤
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
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.....
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!!
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!
Keep going strong!❤❤
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!
Congrats on making the change, can’t wait to see the even more amazing things you accomplish! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Shane is an incredible coach and you are my favorite strongman Luke! I look forward to seeing where the rest of your career goes!
🌶️🌶️🌶️
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….. ❤❤❤
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 🌶🌶🌶🌶
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
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
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.
Wow I get the same thing in the same shoulder, can only do military press because of a lack of motion in my right shoulder, will definitely be implementing some of these exercises in my next routine ❤
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!
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
You finished the season really rounding into form. Interested in seeing how this season goes!
Best of luck for 2024, Luke! We all know that you'll do great
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 ,
Go out there and smash it Luke. Really looking forward to seeing you smash your limits and dominate the strongman stage.
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.
Love it! Give it hell Luke, love the content and good luck with the little guy on the way!
Thanks! Will do!
Its always so nice to see the Stoltman approach. Even when its a slog they obviously having fun. Such great energy
makes sense, best of luck!
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
moving forward
🎉
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!
Luke you better not be retiring 😮😮😮 I love watching you compete ❤
Wow. I had a similar injury last year and I did a lot of those exercises. They will work!
I am SO excited by this change for you. The new training looks like it's doing you good already!
Yes! Thank you!
Think it's a great move for you Luke. If you can get to the form of 2021 you will be a force in any compition going forward. You have plenty of life in you yet. You've got a lot to go full pelt for. 2024 let's gooo
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
Great vid
You have accomplished a lot Luke
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.
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!
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
Great video!
Thanks!
These the videos I love
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!
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 👍
Good on you Luke. Sometimes we just need a new fresh approach to squeeze a little more out of ourselves.
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 🙏
We are all behind you Luke, smash these next few years!!
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
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😅😅
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
Based on this workout I'd bet money that Luke's new coach is Shane from MST systems.
Good to see you swinging a macebell big guy! Good luck with fixing up the shoulder etc
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'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 🌶️
I wish you every success. Rehab training takes a mass of mental strength as it is boring and repetitive. I admire your stalwart spirit.
Luke you have done the right thing and good luck to you mate
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
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
very enjoyable video !
Glad you enjoyed it
Can't wait to see the results of this Luke, don't get yer self injured o7
