Poor Rauno! Lol. He was hilarious on his response to the yoke height. Lots of experience, still dumb mistake. 😂

I love strongman but unfortunately it will always be a fringe sport because a) most commercial gyms don't have strongman equipment b) most people don't have the genetics for it and c) the team behind giants live have no idea how to commercialize it outside of the UK.

Good view bud. Great to see the new guys showing that they have deserved it for a long time

The bleachers and stadium seats suck because they killed my back and there's almost no vendors at WSM for Myrtle Beach 2023/24. With 2023, you had more access to the athletes, but with the bleachers and stadium seats, you were more separated from the athletes. However, the giant jumbo trons were a good addition in the open field section to watch. That being said, it's okay but nothing special.

It's really annoying that the WORLDS strongest man comp, is held in the us for so many years in a row.

Hooper didnt "repick" the conans, they were not allowed to do that once they had moved more than a meter with it, he only adjusted it in his arms by throwing it up a little, making it even more impressive.

You discussing the stone off rule actually made me think of the time Bish made the final in 2020 despite finishing 4th out of five guys in his group. Yeah, the rule sucks

💪

Looked much better than last year

About the axle, it wouldn't be a problem that it was less than a kg over the world record. But it would be a problem because the world record was set on fixed axle and this one was freely revolving. Not the same equipment, it shouldn't count as the same record.

Great breakdown. Seeing all the new guys is exciting, as they performed excellently. Great to see Tom win his 3rd title. I still think he has to raise his game against Hooper in the other shows though, as he's got absolutely no weakness.

I think the groups were so good because the lineup was so weak on paper, they had luke stoltman in a top seat, luckily they put the 3 good rookies that made rhe final in different groups

Hooper is a brilliant technician (same as Novikov) just look at Axel split-jerk and clever use of the rules in most competitions. Tom is just raw bigger and stronger (Shaw and Bjornsson) and cannot beat technicians with strength alone. If Tom can continue to improve his technique and fitness as we saw this year he has every chance of matching/beating Hooper on a regular basis.....What a great time to be a strongman fan....!

This was a great video and needed. Giants Live business strategy for the us needs a DAMN OVERHAUL! this amateur shit! Pay per view, live experience, advertising and marketing all need some major changes. Read the fucking room! Strongman is reaching new heights of popularity every year. Fans deserve a better experience and they are leaving dollars on floor. Rogue is banking it, even with their competition on KZbin. They also need to be more athletes from than North America and Europe! Don't be scared of more world competition! Giants Live need to up their GAME!

Imo the heats is more fun to watch than the final every year. Love seeing who is in shape, which new guy will mog etc

It's more than likely in the u.s.a for the foreseeable futurw

I was 10 feet away from jf when he got hurt at asc I herd his quads pop

Spencer was out with the fans all week what a great guy

It's massive at asc Ohio I go every year

I lived in bradington Florida so I knew where it was butt didn't go that year

At the Arnold Tom stoltman was setting in my seat before the comp I had to kick him out lol no he is a cool man talked for 30 minutes or so and Luke was super sweet

I herd its going to be in Myrtle beach for next 4 years there is a contract

1700 for hotel and 300 a day for a seat plus food and everything and they want the sport to grow I go to Arnold for 2 k total 2 people and you don't die in the heat

Butt going for free all those years now you pay out the ass for a seat f that I just watched on the TV at the fan fest

"Do not buy Rope".

*Wiff Toffeh*

2:44 He was great but Kazemeir was robbed ALI like for 3 or 4 yrs from the strongman competition so a prime Bill who give a better battle

because he is genuine

I like Mitch, so this isn't a hateful comment. But he really needs to get his head through properly for a genuine, clean rep, in my humble opinion.

Like John Kreese said it Karate Kid/Cobra Kai season 2: "Time to stop the ass kissing, and start the ass kicking" Tom Stoltman is over hyped for two big reasons, firstly he did not beat the big names at their peak like Hafthor, Hall, Shaw, Licis or Mateusz in the years 2016-2020, Secondly Tom have not yet even been close to winning the Arnold Classic the last 5 years. Including the Shaw Classic and Rogue invitational will not change currently.

Ivan Singletov lol

If they don't let Hooper do that Bullshit split press garbage , that's not a strict press

Thoughts on the split and Jerk?. Hooper seems to be the guy that might end up changuing they way mayor organizations look at it. Personally, i feel divided, i´ve never been really ok with it cause it end up been a different thing than a push press, but also, in regards to the axel, it actually got into strongman with split and jerks, so i don´t know.

You're profile picture is of the goat of overhead

Lifting out of the rack dosen't require the strength that a press from floor to overhead does

I’m gonna say Big Tommy will take it this year.

Pavlo is such a beast, casually holding the axle over his head for a few seconds, even Zydrunas has to admit this axle was "under control" :D

I think Eddie had more in the tank 🤔

2 days to go. Hype!

Broski! Ivan Singeltov?!!! 😅

Mitch won't be stopped unless Colin wants it. He wants Mitch on top so Mitch can battle Thor for world dominance. I hope Thor fkn wins!!

Thanks for this video 💪🙂🎉

thank you so much, I was craving some axle lifts leading WSM

Yeah, I don't see anyone touching Mitch.

Ivan Singletov, the new guy from Moscow.

Hooper just doing crazy numbers there. I mean just insane. He must be the favorite this year

Ivan Singletov hahaha

After seeing your Deadlift video leading to the ASC, and hearing this music again, I really miss Hafthor in this. Hope you will make multiple videos leading to Strongest Man on Earth and Rogue Invitational as well.

Hooper offcourse. He's the favorite for sure. The man to beat!

Not looking close atm
