It feels like Laurence is telling us a bedtime story about a legendary human of the past times

[@h4ck3d]

He is

[@wifflebat14]

Tell us a bedtime story Grampa Loz!

[@MoralesCorner]

You know how much he loves Big Z lol we all do

[@Xplora213]

How did the legend of Hercules start?? It’s pretty clear.

[@hughphillips5129]

Just got into bed

[@kooroshrostami27]

Fun fact: They actually decreased the weight of the Austrian Oak since noone except from Big Z could even lift it once.

[@Desekratedd]

Facts

[@InfiniteTechServices]

I wish they didn't. It could be one of those mythical lifts where only the exceptional can do. Imagine after 50 years of the comp and the log has only been lifted by 5 people or so. would be epic

[@TyrannosaurusCHEX]

It would kind of mess up the points for the competition though - savikas would come first and everyone else would be in joint second place on 0 reps without any way to distinguish who was better then each other

[@jdd5672]

@Gabor_314 haha, twice my bodyweight - yup light as a feather

[@Benlikesstuff]

They wouldn't shave the Denny's stones to help people to lift them. That's kinda lame

[@NassifKazan]

Big Z's reaction to this video: "I am very happy"

[@deepthought5673]

finally someone talked about the real strongest man in the world

[@captainroger]

Truth

[@anthonyproffitt5341]

I think he is the most talked about strongman and a majority of the fans I’ve heard say Big Z is the 🐐

[@getstrongby4038]

Exactly!

[@zackkan4412]

So true

[@lort6022]

you don't keep strength. so nah, he's nowhere near the strongest man right now and never will be again.

Yep! Both are truly great people!

in 2004 he said he was "not very happy" after getting 2º place on WSM for the third time in a row lol

[@jeroenwinnen5859]

His apollons Axle World record at the Arnold classic, he did 8 reps when the record was 5! He did not even use his legs! Pure shoulder power!

[@dannyb1979]

That was a phenomenal event and he breezed through it

[@branominal8564]

I was sure that would be number 1

[@antoniocenteno1483]

However, there´s another man that did 8 reps, Brian Siders at Arnold´s 2008, it was shocking to me that a human man made of flesh could actually tie Zavickas

[@Vipinnnn17]

Also did 188 Kg Axle for 5 in 90 seconds which to me is more impressive then his 166*8

[@georgepace9797]

Something else worth mentioning is that the weight for the Austrian oak was lowered after 2016 because no one competing could lift it

[@SilencedButNotForgotten]

True

[@craigwheeler4760]

Big Z was the only one who did it. LEGEND . Didn't he do like 3 or 4 reps when nobody else got 1?

[@Feon2]

@@craigwheeler4760 yes. And it would be the same nowadays. Only Iron Biby could lift nearly as much as him, but is absolutely worse in every other event.

Not mentally though. Great strongman, but not the smartest guy around. He promotes not wearing masks, he believes that lizard people control the world, that covid doesn't exist and so on. If you could speak Lithuanian, you would understand. He's an absolute joke for the Lithuanians now.

[@frankcastle1216]

Big Z is hands down the GOAT!

[@adambritain5774]

That number 5 (those squats) was absolutely mental. I’ve watched it 10+ times since. Just phenomenal to be able to rep that weight so many times.

[@djordjedangubic7270]

Well this video has mistake about that it tells it was 320 KG but it was 329 KG for 15 reps.

[@waynus2021]

the biggest achievement these guys have (and i include Brian Shaw and others here) is that they utterly inspire me and tens of thousands of others to better themselves , these guys create MASSIVE ripples in a worldwide pond of positivity , my respect for these men is immense for that reason

[@romeorogers9314]

Lemon water, tomatoes, grilled salmon, some cardio then a dip in the lake. That's what made Big Z.

[@kooroshrostami27]

He eats way more clean than most Strongmen, relaxes plenty in quietude, sleeps early. His longevity as a top tier Strongman seems more plausible to me after watching his channel.

What a shame he didnt make it to the Shaw Classic. It would have been great to see him on a log for max and a hummer deadlift again.

@@williamkelly5689 Mateusz possibly but I just can't see anybody being so dominant with the strength in depth these days. If training, recovery, diet and strength in depth of competitors were back then what they are now, I genuinely don't believe Mariusz, Big Z or Shaw would have as many titles as they do. It's just getting harder to be dominant and that's why I can't see it. Even 4-5+ years back, things are changing rapidly.

I don't remember the year but it was at the Arnold Classic and the one arm dumbbell press I think had just been introduced the year prior and when it was Zydrunas' turn he just smoked I think 9 reps with 200 lbs the first ones went up so easily with no leg drive whatsoever and best thing was that in the audience was Arnold himself and he just stood there shocked with jaw on the floor (as was basically everyone) what an awesome moment that was.
