    If anyone ever questioned why i think this is the best sport in the world, i would show them the footage of the athletes chalking each others backs, pulling the straps of their suits and standing there encouraging their "opponent" to get the last stone up whilst holding out their arms in case they need more tacky! I mean, come on!! This is basically a group of brothers having a freindly, loving brotherly competition! ❤

      Love strongman and call me crazy if you like but I like to see a bit of needle between athletes.. I’d argue it adds to the competition not detracts. That’s why Eddie and Thor were so popular.

      @the_deputy2327 Před rokem +2

      @@wontforgetme123 We're in an era of strength where the levels are just getting better and better and more insane. Part of that, is the camaraderie the athletes share, being able to train together and push each other. At this level of competition, with the weights involved, ego lifting, aggressive lifting and doing things in spite of another athlete will probably cause injury. I think all athletes respect each other, just because they know what they are all doing collectively puts them in the top 0.1% of humans EVER lived (strength wise). Eddie and Thor were friends, until Thors failure at WSM 2017. A 6th Podium, missing out on the win again f**ked his head.

Loz, I would love to see you do a breakdown video of all the top strongmen and their injuries/surgeries they struggle with.I know most of you don't like to complain and make excuses...but it's obviously a major part of training and recovery. It's so much fun to see guys compete when they're healthy and in their zone.
    I look forward to Hooper training even harder with the fire under his ass that this comp has now lit.

      could be an interesting one. there are a number of athletes who's career ended because of injuries in the sport, but there's also a few who got better after their recovery. a great example is probably Big Z who tore both his knees before he really won anything in strongman.

    The hell was going on with Hoop and the stones?! Was it that hot in there that his tacky was wearing off?

      Stone came apart - got rock bits stuck on his hands. They discussed it in the livestream yesterday.

    It was awesome to see such a great contest for the podium, but it's just left a sour taste in my mouth, that it was decided by 0.02 seconds hand timed on stopwatches, by different referees. (Like when Paul Smith was allowed an extra 10 seconds on the farmers, which changed the podium). I mean come on. Just use electronic timing already!
    P.s. thanks to whoever donated me a membership! Been a sub for 3.5 odd years, but this is first time as member.

      Loz said in the live that they did video verification for the yoke so it was accurate.

      @@xaviermitchell578 If they did that, we would've seen it. I'll believe it when I see it.

    Loz, you don’t need to look so formal when wearing the Giants live polo shirt, leave the second button open, let your neck breathe a little lol

    Loz get in touch with Bibi and give him a polite kick up the arse 😂,ask him to let you train him for the next couple of years,its a shame the amount of competitions he misses out on,i think we would all love to see him consistently train and compete,i don't know what he does in his private life but i just feel like he is missing massive opportunities.
