tom stoltman last year and this year
You can't really put him as the strongest considering that he cheated to win WSM. I'd say Martins or Oleksii.
It's not cheating if your sponsor writes the rules. Eddie Hall didn't cheat in 2017, he had the company he owns 33% of cheat for him.
Making the power stairs high and the implements high enough that you have to be 6'6 to properly deadlift them up instead of upright rowing isn't cheating. It's just WSM at it's finest.
Its cheating because the organizers of the event conspired with athletes to give two individuals an unfair advantage, it perfectly follows the definition of cheating. In terms of it being typical for WSM you're right which is why you can't use the results for an absolute determination of who is the strongest. In fact it might be the worst show to use as a measure of who is stronger considering that there is open corruption and cheating.
the events like the yoke and bus pull were lighter than even local strongman shows. that doesn't favor any of the guys that "its rigged for".
clearly it does since Tom and Luke picked the events out. There is video evidence confirming that they cheated.
post vid then
>Tom and Luke picked the events out.
No they didn't, moron. The only events in the final that really suited Tom were power stairs and stones. The Flintstone Press was probably the worst max overhead event possible for Luke as well
hahahahahahhahahahahaha
your boy couldnt come within ten points of 'tism tom. how about finishing the stones to keep second place instead of getting deadlast?
Having a heat made up of C-listers vs having a group that would have all 5 athletes qualify over-all on performance.
Also the Stoltmen have been training the exact same events, which makes or breaks 'Tims Spergman's performance. All the athletes that aren't sponsored by the organiser were informed about the exact events 2 days prior to the competition.
>number 1 ranked guy gets easiest seed at wsm
>mid pack rankings have to battle it out
so like every other tournament system in existence.
>the Stoltmen have been training the exact same events
>informed about the exact events 2 days prior to the competition.
alll the competitors get the exact events like 8 weeks out. we even knew what the events were 8 weeks out. extra time doesn't even help much since they're not coming on cycle till about then anyway
>All the athletes that aren't sponsored by the organiser were informed about the exact events 2 days prior to the competition.
This is a blatant lie. All the strongmen that upload their training have been training the events for months. The earliest I saw was Pa O'Dwyer, and Brian has three or four videos alone of behind the neck pressing and car deadlifting.
>Martins
Gets routinely mogged on static events.
>Oleksii
Techniquemaxxer.
Tom is a mongpowered brute much like Brian was when he was younger.
Tom is a cheater, he hasn't won a single top level show that wasn't rigged. Also Martins consistently beats him on static events.
>Beats Martins on the deadlift
>Beats Martins on the yabba-dabba-doo without having to do split-jerk bullshit
>TOM ONLY DOES WELL ON TALL GUY EVENTS!!!!
>MARTINS ALWAYS BEATS HIM AT STATIC!!!!
he picked those out and started training for them months before Martins did. I'm pretty sure Martins didn't even do car deadlifts before the event. How come he lost to Martins on all the static events at the Arnold? Its because they all found out about the events at the same time.
Yeah, I'm sure he went out of his way to get the organisers to put in a lift that hasn't been seen in 25 years. And if you want to talk about rigging events, the Arnold was quite blatantly rigged for Martins, as he's now Rogue's (literal) posterboy.
He asked to put it in because he knew nobody trains them and if he started before the other found out it would give him a head start. Also other than the natural stone Martins needed one point on to win the show i'm not sure what your complaints are. Tom was tied for third to last behind Rob the homosexual Kearny. The only people he beat were some unknown Russian guy and JF Caron who detached his quad on the third event.
>i'm not sure what your complaints are
>Squat for the first time after having a deadlift every single year knowing Martins is an excellent squatter but a middle of the pack deadlifter
>Odd is the judge for the dumbbell and gives him a rep that absolutely should not have counted
>The frame is literally just a grip event, the one thing Martins is known for
>The natural stone is literally Odd's stone and the only one who had any practice on it is Martins
The Arnold is always rigged for whoever their posterboy is. It's Martins now, and before him it was Thor, and before that it was Z.
>excellent squatter but a middle of the pack deadlifter
he's not, his deadlift is on par with Toms. He placed the same in the Arnold for squat that he did on the deadlift at rogue.
>Odd is the judge for the dumbbell and gives him a rep that absolutely should not have counted
moron Tom fan tier cope. It was fine and even if they took it away he still would have won
>The frame is literally just a grip event, the one thing Martins is known fo
the timber carry has been in the show several times
>The natural stone is literally Odd's stone and the only one who had any practice on it is Martins
only legitimate complaint but Martins needed one point on it to win. They could have swapped the stone for one 50 pound heavier and he still would have won.
Even if you want to believe all of that Tom got steamrolled by every decent competitor that didn't detach his quad. He was near last on every event, it was a pathetic display of what he is when Colin Bryce doesn't hold his hand and let him cheat.
Anglos in strongman act like israelites in Hollywood
>He was near last on every event, it was a pathetic display of what he is when Colin Bryce doesn't hold his hand and let him cheat.
>let him cheat
Come on now. He's better at WSM style lighter shows, that's all. Thor was fricking wank at the Arnold for years before his 3 in a row stretch.
Tom isn't the strongest man on earth though, I agree. He won a contest called World's Strongest Man, but the Arnold is the real test of strength. WSM is a test of who is the most consistent strength athlete
>How come he lost to Martins on all the static events at the Arnold?
Tom did Britains strongest man the week before and didn't train for the rogue. he took second in it.
oh man he had to half ass his way through beating nobodys a week before the competition. If anything he should have won the rogue invitational no problem since all the events except the dumbbell were good for him.
Tom only ever does well at dynamic events that favor height. Anything static and he's worse than average. Brian Shaw was always a static beast as well as a dynamic beast, although Zydrunas was even stronger.
most wsm end in stones, tom still had to beat everyone it wasn't handed to him, the stairs he had bit of an advantage but had to work for it. would not be surprised if they allowed additional doping
>would not be surprised if they allowed additional doping
Well Novikov has aged 10 years in 2, so I'm gonna go with "yes".
>look man he may have cheated but he had to at least be to 5 tier to win so he worked hard and you need to thank him for his service
>quad dubs
Nice
Currently a 3way tie between Tom Stoltman, Martins Licis and Oleksii Novikov, unless Hafthor decides to gain back the 120lbs he lost.
>Oleksii Novikov
>6'1"
><300lb

Probably Brian shaw.
As much as I don't really care for him, probably Thor
If 2018 Thor had competed in 2017, he'd have won. 2018 Thor was some otherworld entity.
And then he lost to MARTEENZ in 2019.
Him and Brian both made the same mistake in 2019. They went in far too big to a comp that was moving more towards speed and technique. Superyoke not withstanding, but that fricked everyone over.
>It's a 500kg yoke
>Train for 500kg yoke
>Everyone gets to Florida
>Oh no, sorry everyone, it's actually a 600kg yoke
Odinforce Thor was probably the strongest human being to ever walk the Earth. Guy was 450lbs of HGH, bull test, and anabolics on top of god genetics and day in and out training. It's a shame we never got to see him carry on as this monster in strongman, he'd likely destroy every competition but for ironically WSM since it's so much dynamic lifting.
yeah truth but he be dead in 10 years over 200kg in weight
For all his moaning about event fixing and biased judges, I think quietly he knew the real reason he got beat by Eddie was the life-ending amount of gear he was abusing.
>Eddie deadlifts 500kg
>collapses
>needs oxygen
>blasts blood out of his nose and eyes
>goes backstage and almost dies
>spends years talking about how it almost killed him
>Thor deadlifts 501kg
>screams in excitement
>walks off the platform and shit talks to Eddie
>streams CoD for the rest for the day
Andre the giant was stronger and he didn’t train. The strongest men alive haven’t competed . Shaq could probably win the title if he started young
Andre's body couldn't even handle his own weight let alone lifting larger weights.
He regular lifted and moved people cars just to frick with them. His back problems started in the last 10 years of his life.
>made up stories are regular events
I bet you believe his WWF measurements too.
The stories come from close friends of Andre not the www. There would be no motive for fabricating them. The correlation between gigantism and extreme levels of strength is strong . You are ignoring biology.
>stories
There's one story of him flipping a VW buggy lel and yes people love making up bullshit stories about Andre the Giant.
>There's one story of him flipping a VW buggy lel
Based Sigmarsson and Kaz mogging Andre.
Andre didn’t train a single day in his life. He is the true mogger kaz and sigmarasson had to pump themselves full of gear and train endlessly to do what Andre could after a couple beers.
Andre also didn't flip a car.
no one can naturally be stronger than thor who was training to be strong and blasting very hard. to retain his size id imagine he would be on 2-3 times the normal fraudster
Andre’s pituitary gland was leaking insane levels of hgh his entire life. Much more than one can pin.it should be pointed Strongman gear cycles aren’t that excessive .
But if he'd started training at a young age he'd have fallen to bits far earlier. Being a big 'normal' person will lead to better results than someone with a condition like that
Angus macAskill would brutally mog thor
>19th century e-statting
At 7’9 he’d be stronger than peak thro without even training. All giants are insanely strong
>At 7’9 he’d be stronger than peak thro without even training.
Olivier Richters has been training for years and is weak as piss for his size
The idea that any untrained man would be stronger than peak Thor is absolutely laughable
Would a 15 foot tall man not be stronger than Thor? moron
A 15 foot tall man would be extremely weak
Not if he was proportionate in weight and girth and not a giraffe skelly. You’re moronic
>what is the square cube law
Someone that tall would require insane amounts of energy to even move, human physiology can't cope with it.
That moronic fake and gay .How does that have anything to do with taller people being stronger. You are too fixated on being right and are ignoring basic logic
Taller people are in general stronger because they have higher potential to gain lean mass, but that's heavily dependent on individual genetics (and access to juice). MacAskill was probably very strong, but I doubt he was stronger than Louis Cyr for example
Give me an actual reason why he wouldn’t be stronger than Cyr. Not your personal misguided speculation. All healthy giants are strong MacAskill didn’t even have gigantism and is the tallest person to not have gigantism is recorded history.
Cyr actually trained and has more supporting evidence backing up his feats being real
As far as I'm aware nothing MacAskill did was verifiably the claimed weight
Nothing cyr did was verified
height=/=strength, take it from a tall guy such as myself. A good example is 7'2" Oliver Richters, he roided up to a decent physique for his height but still cannot squat 2pl8 properly because his levers are shit for the lift. In general, frames don't endlessly scale up (due to energy expenditure) and very tall people are often thin-framed relative to their height.
To answer the original question, that MacAskill giant was an e-statter, likely just a lanklet who wanted to live in piece but got that giant stories fabricated around him
>7'2 and roids
>can't squat 2pl8s
Lmao @ all lanklets
That’s because he’s a lanklet. Shaq , andre, and wilt chamberlain are not lanklets. Multiple studies have proven the strength height correlation btw
andre yes due to his acromegaly/gigantism, but wilt chamberlain was a complete lanklet and e-statter btw
Arnold verified his experiences lifting with wilt. You’re a skeptic wienersucker who should be boiled alive .
probably just shit form that he hasnt had corrected and so he doesnt spend time on the lift. his main focus is just general bodybuilding and squat is not a necessity for it so he dont do it
Eddie hall almost died pulling 500kg , Thor made it look easy . This is because Eddie is only 6’1 and Thor is 6’9 if Thor pushed his body to its limit like Eddie he could definitely pull 550 maybe 575 kg.
Height doesn't equal strength if you are a lanklet. Also, the human body isn't supposed to grow beyond a certain point: your heart, skeletal frame, etc. won't be able to keep up.
No shit
You’re whole argument is faulty so you have to nitpick about a small point . Taller people are stronger and there are many giants in recorded history that could have easily demolished the record if they tried/trained for it
>probably the strongest human being to ever walk the Earth
peal hall was strong ino. thor's upperbody couldn't keep up with his pressing strength. few more years of strongman and it would be possible, but he may not have survived that
Hall almost killed himself pulling 500kg and had to use physiotherapy techniques and adrenaline spiking to do it. Thor barely tried ,trained normally and made it look easy.
>had to use physiotherapy techniques and adrenaline spiking to do it
He really just took a load of cheque drops.
But you can't say that on telly so he made up the thing about being hypnotised into thinking he was lifting a car off his kids, or whatever it is this week
i know. thor had a bit stronger of a pull, but also way better conditions to do it in (his home gym).
i wasn't saying anything about thors deadlift power though. i specifically mentioned that thors upperbody power was where he was lacking. eddie was miles ahead in pressing power.
Thor was still one of the strongest pressers. He was almost up there with the likes of Zydrunas and Eddie. Otoh pressing was always a weakness for Brian Shaw
>Thor was still one of the strongest pressers
no, he wasn't. he wouldn't have had to cheat the viking press to beat shaw if he was :^)
main reason eddie keeled over is because he was showing off and held it up for 6-7 seconds, while hafthor dropped it as soon as he got the down signal.
