His arms are tiny. He has freakish pound for pound strength.
>His arms are tiny
Post body, you moronic homosexual.
For one of the world's strongman Black person. Like how 6'0 is small for a basketball player, got it?
I remember seeing him next to Will Tennyson. Will is 5'11" and the Canadian boy claims 6'3" but is only like 1" taller than Will. Some pretty funny shit
>Will is 5'11"
Dude's got some confidence being 1" under and not rounding up.
That's cause he's 5'10 and lying up to 5'11
I'm 6'1 and moose is decently taller than me.
He's still weighs 145kg, hardly a lightweight.
>I remember seeing him next to Will Tennyson. Will is 5'11" and the Canadian boy claims 6'3" but is only like 1" taller than Will. Some pretty funny shit
Seeing as how there are hundreds of pix next to famous strongmen, the obvious conclusion is: you are a moron.
Why do Americans keep booing him?
He used to be a marathon runner and golfer too. Looks like he took the Halfor Bjornson route and magically go from skinny basketball player, to podium spots within a few years. He's only 28 which is fricking nuts. I idolised him till I realised he is a year younger than me.
He's certainly big, just not big compared to the other in arm size, especially forearms. Strongmen like Shore, Big Z, eddie hall were all tank-like, despite ranging considerably in height.
Most strongmen are moronic broscientists. He's actually smart about his training. There'st still lots of room for improvement in Strongman, especially where technique is concerned.
I would contest this, bearing in mind huge feats of strength have been beaten by strongman competitors, like Eddie's 1st 500kg diddly.
It has also been around for a long time, with, with huge crossovers with powerlifting, Olympics style and more.
Body builders are the biggest broscientists and they have still managed to produce freak after freak.
Then again, the ufc has huge crossovers with boxing and such yet they still suck at it and get exposed by youtubers.
Was ist los mitt ihnen - blech
There definitely is, I loved watching the stone to shoulder because some guys can barely pick it up meanwhile the polish guy can’t remember his name effortlessly (relatively speaking) cleans and rotates it’s to his shoulder in one motion multiple times.
I trained with him I'm Australia, was funny seeing his head double in size when he started taking the special sauce.
Could you tell he was talented from the beginning of training? Weree there any weird things he did for working out that might contribute to his strength? Or did he just train 100% conventionally, just more consistent and with better genetics.
Nothing special in training, just a crazy work ethnic, smart brain and stupid genetics. Didn't doubt him at all when he said he was going to win wsm. But certainly didn't expect him to dominate so quickly.
Best decision he made was also taking on Loz as a coach. He needed someone to keep him and his ego in check.
No focusing on partial lifts or one specific lift? No weird warmups or doing a little bit of training on rest days? I feel like there had to be something different besides just having amazing genetics and training harder than everyone, but damn. Genetics is genetics.
The other thing is honestly mindset, some people who are elite athletes are just wired different and can flip the switch to game mode instantly.
>Lift up open, put back down
>talented
Lol
Roids. He was a competitive marathon runner, golfer, bodybuilder than wsm before 29.
How the frick is this guy so strong? He just doesn’t look as robust, for lack of better way to describe it, as the other guys who have won in the last 20+ years. I think I’m actually more impressed because of it
I'm wondering that too.
I think he's just a better athlete
These dudes are strong af.
50% international win rate is literally unprecedented in strongman. He’s also podiumed every show listed on his strongman archives aside from his first world’s appearance, absolutely unbelievable.
Why is he so powerful with such small arms? I look at any other strongman, especially Brian Shaw, and their arms are 2x the size of his.
t.
Can't gaslight me into thinking Mitchell Hooper DOESN'T have relatively smaller arms and overall musculature than most strongmen, despite being #1
>DL
Who's the stud lower left with the Kang-tier HGH gut? Literally inverting that homie's belly button.
>lift heavy. pet dogs.
This guy’s clothing brand is so homo
>arms arms arms
Who told these newhomosexuals it was okay to post before lurking a minimum of 2 years so they dont shit up the board with their moronic questions?
>50% international win rate is literally unprecedented in strongman
It literally isn't.
Who is actually the strongest man? Who was the most talented? Personally I think Hafthor, Big Z, and Mateusz are the most talented, but only one actually fulfilled their full potential.
>Asks question
>Immediately answers it.
I wanted to get your opinion, Mateusz hasn't won a single big contest, but he MOGGED everyone in the stone to shoulder. Lots of events where people got 0 and he was the only one to finish. I'm not that avid of a fan of it, so I was wondering if you knew more.
I can see why Mateusz is a favourite with him having several events where he mogs the competition, but his failure to meaningfully improve his deadlift over the years has me doubting if he’ll ever be top dog like we’ve seen others be (Big z, hafthor, Shaw, hooper, etc)
>I can see why Mateusz is a favourite with him having several events where he mogs the competition, but his failure to meaningfully improve his deadlift over the years has me doubting if he’ll ever be top dog like we’ve seen others be (Big z, hafthor, Shaw, hooper, etc)
He'll never win. 100% guaranteed. He's at his DL ceiling; no one magically improves their DL after 10 years of intense effort. Plus he's injury prone and is at the stage where he has to get lucky to simply not be injured for an event.
The thing about strongman is the way its structured, depending on your placing you get points.
Imagine this scenario:
>powerlifter A
>A has 600 bench, 800 squat, 500 deadlift
>#1 bench, #1 squat, #8 deadlift (10 + 10 + 3 =
>23 points
>B has 480 bench, 700 squat, 720 deadlift
>#2 bench, #2 squat, #3 deadlift (9 + 9 + 8 points =
>26 points
Powerlifter A is way more impressive to me but he got less points. That's the way strongman calculates points. Of course powerlifting does totals, but imagine an alternate scenario with just totals:
>A has 500 bench, 400 squat, 600 deadlift
>B has 350 bench, 470 squat, 730 deadlift
B has a higher total but I would argue A might be just as impressive or even more impressive.
Thanks for the answer. Who do you think has the strongest upper body in strongman? Martin Licis had some of the cleanest pullups I've seen for strongmen.
>Who do you think has the strongest upper body in strongman?
No idea. Maybe Iron Biby or Eddie Hall. Strong lower body and core is far more important in strongman.
In my opinion, Zydrunas is the clear GOAT, with Shaw and Pudzianowski vying for second. As far as pure static strength goes, Shaw is probably the best, but he couldn't handle dynamic events.
Guys like Licis and Kieliszkowski are a tier below, and a lot of their success is due to being more generally athletic, so well-suited to the dynamic-type events. I don't think they have the pure raw strength that the other guys have though.
As the other anon mentioned, Hafthor in 2018/2019 is probably the peak of strength (remember, he probably only lost in 2019 due to an injury).
I think Mitch Hooper and Pudzianowski are the two most gifted athletically.
>MOGGED everyone in the stone to shoulder
They were gripping it wrong. look up how you grip slopes for rock climbing. its with your whole palm and wrist. everyone else has using their fingers and sliding off
But Mateusz won lots of events where that wasn't a factor, and everyone else did 0 or 1. Don't you think he would be uncontestably the strongest if his deadlift was decent?
at the most recent rogue, mateusz only won one event. even taking 1st in deadlift wouldn't have won him the contest
He did better in previous ones.
Zydrunas goat career
Hathor 2018 goat strongest a person has ever been at 1 point in time
Honourable mention to Brian Shaw for longevity
>Hathor 2018 goat strongest a person has ever
this is wrong because hos pressing was baby level compared to Z and Hall. From benching to Overhead, they outclassed him. his deadlift strength isn't enough to close that gap.
The only full packages weve had was Kaz, then Z, then Hall
Yeah I was wrong forgot about zydrunas and Marius they both have 50%+
Why do strongmen look like wholesome family men while bodybuilders look like narcissistic homosexuals and powershitters like satanic nerds?
>Why do these people look like what they are?
the heckin wholesome
You just want a big daddy bear for your buccy, don’t ya?
lol if he was off roids I'm stronger than him
He totalled like 830kg in tested powerlifting before he committed to strongman fully.
He was that muscular as a marathon runner. That's incredibly impressive.
He did his first 5pl8 squat at 15 years old.
I miss dis homie like you wouldn't believe.
>did a men’s track physique competition before bodybuilding
Unreal. Cannot believe it’s possible to go from pic related to worlds strongest man no matter how much gear you use.
Tells you how much of a joke being the world's strongest man is huh. It's all about who has access to the most gear and the best training center
Like any sport then, especially the olympics?
You've never watched the sport have you?
>He lifted the biggest rock
>HE JUST HAS ACCESS TO MORE EXPENSIVE ROCKS!
He has top-tier genetics, and he enhances his strength with roids.
>29 year old
>worlds most geared up man
gay ass "sport"
competitive eating is even better
Ukrainian genes.
Takes more drugs that the other competitors. Plain and simple.
A comment so moronic it's impressive
No.
I was watching one of the world's strongest women competitions from a few years back and boy it's fricking laughable
i only care about how israelited these people are. the moose seems to be a pretty based guy, trying to get people in the gym who normally wouldnt go and are uncomfortable to. we need more people like him getting elderly, disabled, mentally unwell etc all of these people to exercise and take their health more seriously.
i also love eddie hall when i watched him brutalizing thor in the prefight shit talks lol. and i found out thor is a piece of shit whos more worried about his ego and pride than being a good human being. completely israelited, probably from all that game of trannies money he got
>Lift heavy be kind
hes won 13/36 events back to 2019 WUS Dubai, skipping the bruta comp that wasn't a full cast. It isn't bad, but hes zeroing/bombing events in there which is stopping him from winning shows. hes also barely holding himself together. his ligaments dont like his ped use
for
So who do you think are the strongest of all time, irrespective of actual legacy and success? Who do you think werre the most talented whether or not they lived up to it? My thoughts:
>talent
theyre not even close to marius or hooper levelsvof talent. talent is a pretty meaningless term too because theres so many variables. Thor also might have shoahed himself with drugs like Eddie, so saying he never reached his full potential is wrong. same with mateusz. if your ligaments are breaking, you are literally at your peak potential.
I said earlier in the the thread that imo there were only 3 people that were definitely strongest person alive at their peak.
Kazmaier, Big Z, and Eddie Hall.
We hear Thor all the time, but Thor never had the shoulders/pressing raw strength to take that title. Biby and even Luke stoldtman was a better presser in 2018/2019 than he was.
Best strongman ever for me is either Z or Marius.
>Best strongman ever for me is either Z or Marius
yeah, this seems about right, with Pudz being a genetic freak with a much smaller frame, Imagine his genetics with the size of Savickas. But Z is the GOAT imho, just sheer dominance.
Thanks for the answer.
Would Hooper's p4p strength (for his amount of muscle), Big Z's width, Pudz's muscularity, and Hafthor's height be the ultimate strongman?
Why separate height and width? Doesnt make sense, both of those are skeletal. I'd say Hafthor's bones, Pudz' muscle, and Kazmaier's mindset alone create an unbeatable strongman.
>Kazmaier
They have both totalled 1100 in powerlifting but Kaz only has 7 international wins listed on strongman archives vs Hafthors 28 and he competed in much less competitive era.
>Eddie Hall
3 international wins (lmao) His 2017 WSM win over Hafthor was a 1 point lead due to technicality on Viking press. his deadlift record (only real claim to goat status) also got mogged by Hafthors 501
>Big Z
Zydrunas has the best career of any strongman but has only totaled 1020 in powerlifting, 80kg behind Hafthor so could be argued that Hafthor was statically stronger at his peak. I am inclined to agree with you though and say that generally Big Z was stronger than Hafthor.
Who's actually the strongest (overall not just big 3)? Who were the most talented?
I'd say top 3 is Big Z, Hafthor, Shaw in that order. Big Z = 82 international wins, 1020kg total, log WR that stood for years.
Hafthor = 28 international wins, 1100kg total, deadlift WR that still stands
Shaw = 27 international wins (4x WSM), N/A total
>using Zs total from when he was like 23
Z is goat has always been goat, Brian in a close second, third is tied with a bunch of names not including Pudz
you are mistaking a bunch of things. i said at their peak, thats the 70s for caz, 2012-2015 or so for z, and 2017 for hall
we are talking the absolute strongest man, which means raw strength. if you follow strongman enough, you should obviously know that there are plenty of moving events, medleys, endurance that take strength in shows, but arent measuring a max using strict rules. a yoke run is a great example
>kaz
nobody close to him on pressing (set the raw wr bench press, log press) and he out squated and deadlifted everyone at wsm and powerlifting comps. pretty easy
>hall
again, not talking titles, talking absolute strength, and only their peak form. Eddie only had like a year where he was on top before retiring. the fact you bring up viking press for reps where push press is allowed shows us you obviously missing that point.
the best head to head they had was the axle clean day where thor barely managed 206 or something and Eddie strict press the world record easily. it also took thor years to catch up to prime halls deadlift. thor just never was on the same level as Eddie when Eddie was at peak strength.
heres a good point on bench too. eddie and z have both raw benched 300kg. thor tore his peck with 250kg
>Z
Z stopped powerlifting when he went to strongman and never went really went back. it was also 1090, but in a suit.
brian was close to him at pulling strength when Z was at peak strength, but nowhere close on squatting and pressing. Z had the hummer record, did 430 raw on a powerbar, the squat for reps record, and the log records only Biby got close to.
Thor was never strong enough overhead or pressing in general to be the absolute strongest person alive at that point since biby was always there to mogg him.
both of them are ugly
His arms are just te most noticeable, overall he's smaller and lighter than pretty much every strongman but stronger.
Mariusz might have been lighter but he was 100% muscle.
od is up thete too, but dint know enough about him
mark henry could potentially be another, but may have a similar issues as thor with raw pressing. i don't know how much of Henry's overhead was good technique and efficient leg drive and how much was raw pressing
Big ole pecker that's why
Because he is strong and kind
>Because he is strong and kind
>and kind
he ain't, he's shifty, cunning, lying butthole but he can't be that, he's canuck 😀
and that's where the branding problem rears it's ugly head
he can't sell himself even if his life depended on it, fricking eddie the pig has better shtick xD
i dont like the look of tumor legs, and every guy who has tumor legs wears those super homosexual short shorts
You've just described me, I wear them as much as possible lol
