- Strongman Mark Felix beats his own world record time at Giants Live: Wembley with 83.62 seconds.
53-year-old Strongman and plasterer from Blackburn, England proved he has the strongest grip in the world, with this 'World Record’ time in the Hercules Hold..
Mark has competed at the World's Strongest Man more times than nay other athlete and he defies age with his incredible strength. - Sport
Shouldn't that be Sampson hold? You got your myths crossed, musclebrains.
You are quite right, they certainly could have been named it after Sampson. However, that famous strongman was not into pillar-holding we believe. We have read that he was actually a bit of a charlatan. So there is also good reason to avoid Sampson…. Firstly, let me explain why it is what it is. The naming is with Hercules because WSM (World's Strongest Man) who created this modern grip-event were actually staging WSM near the real "Pillars of Hercules". So it just seemed right that they would also honour Hercules - who actually was a pretty good strongman from all accounts. To add in some geographical info - the 'Pillars of Hercules' are more commonly referred to as Gibraltar and Monte Hacho. The initial WSM contest where we brought these out and used them was a few years back now, but this event and this name has become a strongman classic. Going back to your suggested name - Sampson or perhaps Sampson Hold - well as we have assumed you wrote about the legendary strongman (from the 1890s) Charles "the strongest man on Earth" Sampson who famously made a big deal of the letter 'p' in basis name to distinguish him from Samson - well, he was just not that impressive. Not worth naming na event after. He was nowhere near as good as the other Samson either. hmmmm… Has a silly spelling error in a smart ass comment got our muscle-brains all confused? Is it in fact 'Samson' with no P and of the the Temple fame actually who you meant Brian? If so, I believe historians are mainly of the belief that, Samson (with no P), actually pushed over his pillars, which means the story isn't that relevant to pillar holding, if true. Though it's close, and it sounds like he would, or could be a great name for a strongman event. Especially for an event like the Fingal's Fingers. The tricky thing is that a Celtic chap called Fingal has really cornered the pushing-pillar strongman event naming market. But thanks all the same for your comments. Hopefully, our most-muscular brains have helped you with a. little insight into naming aspects behind WSM events. Thanks
thanks Brian - hope the info helps
@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN I love how you schooled him. A lot of people have misconceptions about Greek mythology.
I’d be careful calling Sampson a myth
@@graefus Thanks Tria. TBH - We don't believe anyone should come here or anywhere and be rude for no good reason. I assume he was here to insult all the strength community in one hit? But, to our amusement, careless Brian tried to slap us from a faulty knowledge base. I must also say we do loads of spelling mistakes, actually, we do them all the time! And our grammar can be pretty ropey too. But what we don't do is go around suggesting other people are stupid for creating something and then offering it up for others enjoyment. But our pal Brian is clearly fuelled up on his own arrogance, and thanks to his hubris (a good term plucked from the serious consequences store for you when disrespect others due to your own smugness - a vital term which stems from Greek Tragedy) and his hubris here was to make a peach of a spelling error.
Please don't come on our site and chuck out a few half-baked factoids to try and sound smart. As for calling us all muscle-heads - well, that is surely the single lamest insult ever concocted. What does that even mean?

Never understood the shirt tear. Even I can do that, that's not impressive that's just wasteful
Aside from the incredible strength he displays, what amazes me most is his unbelievable calmness. He just holds it steadily, bowiing his head like the statue of a god.

Legend, pure dedication you can see how focus he was during 1:23 minutes. No excitement, no show off.
I’m just so stupidly amazed and entertained about how absolutely strong these men are.
Like, it’s just such an incredible feat of strength and endurance (that I’m comfortable knowing that I’ll never even think about attempting), and it’s a testament to the years upon years of non-stop training and dedication to their art form.
I wish these men could fly, because with how chill and good natured so many of them are, they could be real Supermen.

okay but why is no one talking about the fact that he is 53 years old?? THAT’S ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING TO ME.

He didn't give up he just couldn't physically hold it any longer. Over 50 and still setting world records that's impressive.

It actually wastes energy to look tired or stressed. Stay neutral. Keep cool.
Yes. Meaning he could have held it for a few more seconds.
because in one period of his life he did and i talk about the period when he was training to get these results.
I think he accidentally let go of it lol
he was shaking near the end
This guy was 53 when he did this. Beating a world record involving strength, stamina and sheer will, beating it at the age most people become grand-parents. What a god
EHorn You know what they say, strength’s the last thing to leave a man

actually for this type of strength it is better to be older, you will have an advantage because your muscles change in the aging process

1000 like: that was a good nap wasn't it Mark lol
Lmao! Tears in my eyes
Am a novice here but I feel his technique is rock solid! What we might be missing is he is making use of his entire upper back muscles in close conjunction with his arms. This allows him to be as efficient as possible with a zen mode posture. Not only so, the breathing rate is key here too. This must have taken years to practice and perfect!
The focus in this video is so intense I swear I can see the power radiating off of him.

He doesn't even look like he was getting tired or straining himself. It was if he decided "Yeah, I'll end it here. Otherwise we'd be here forever".
