Yeah imagine Brian and Haftor chasing a thug. And finally after 50 meters of running they get a heartattack and die LOL

[@mrnw9071]

Strongman needs to upgrade commentators and realise people want to watch it live. Start televising or live stream on your website. Also music is like a bad 80s action flick or sports montage.. ha!

[@kaguth]

Yeah, this and WSM could definitely use a major revamp from some smart business people. It has potential to be so much bigger than it is.

[@mrnw9071]

When Europe strongest man came to Leeds it pretty much sold out. Britains strongest man sells out. It has potential, in the age of Crossfit, fitness and health people are interested again.

[@chrisgleeton6823]

I'm not a lifter or even a gym rat, just a regular fat guy. But I find these competitions extremely interesting, much more so than most pro sports. I'm a huge fan of Brian Shaw, and love seeing the amount of work that he and his competitors put into this, as well as the camaraderie between them. Some better production value would definitely go a long way towards opening this up to the masses. Strongmen with celebrity status like Halfthor also play a part (he's what drew me to these, and Brian Shaw kept me watching the last few years) in attracting viewers and fans.

[@legrandfromage9682]

Live? These take place over many days and it takes a tremendous about of setup time for a few short lifts. These would NOT be fun to watch live, believe me.

[@liquidsquid101]

@kaguth WSM takes place over 5 days. So live stream yea.. But not the way you'd like it

[@lukeparsons583]

“That’s the beauty of the worlds strongest man” -you’re at the Arnold 😂😂😂

Brian Shaw é simplesmente incrível!

[@russwhaley2618]

I love how much the guys root for each other!

[@Eisenbieger1986]

i don´like how Magnus is judging here. Kieliszkowski was a bit shaky at the first attempt and got no down signal. Jerry was shaky too and got the down signal immediately.

[@brotherkeithlawson7625]

Jesus Christ suffered and died for your sins. Please accept the gospel today. You may be baptized.

[@Eisenbieger1986]

Try to use your mind and leave those videos alone with you religious offtopic.

[@brotherkeithlawson7625]

Eisenbieger1986 Listen, God told the Jews what they needed to do, and this helps us to understand the expression “uncircumcised in heart.” He told them to take the badness out of their heart. Why? He explained: “That my rage may not go forth . . . on account of the badness of your dealings.” They were disobeying Jehovah because their heart was bad. (Read Mark 7:20-23.) They were rebellious, and they refused to change. Their heart, which included their motives and their thinking, was bad in Jehovah’s eyes. (Read Jeremiah 5:23, 24; 7:24-26.) God told them how to change this by saying: “Get yourselves circumcised to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of your hearts.”-Jeremiah 4:4; 18:11

[@thispersonsdad7247]

what matters it the full lockout not the shakiness

[@dalewilson5613]

Eisenbieger1986 he didn't lock out with control that's why he didn't get it. Let me guess your polish

[@daniel224nl]

that respect among strongmen is so great to see.

[@aaronjessome1032]

2015 Zadrunas pressed the 450lb austrian oak log for 4 reps, I wish Big Z had of made this compitition or makes the WSM.

[@clas_ic-7076]

Aaron Jessome I miss watching BiG Z, he is arguably the best presser of all time

[@tranceslave7]

Zydrunas*

[@brotherkeithlawson7625]

Satan rebelled against Jehovah God. This caused all kinds of undesirable consequences for humans. But there is hope. Please accept a bible study with one of Jehovah's Witnesses ASAP.

Dimitar is the only man who carries his brain on the outside of his skull.

[@adamhipko666]

Shaw dominates...amazing

[@Dangerpurple]

People keep saying Björnsson is stronger than Shaw, but Shaw keeps winning. Both guys are great but Shaw is unstoppable in competition.

[@Andrew..J]

Brian is stronger but i think Thor is a bit more athletic, ergo why Brian excels in heavy heavy lifting but why Thor threw the bag higher and why did more reps, arguably 4 if he had 10 more sexs

[@brotherkeithlawson7625]

The scriptures promise forgiveness for our sins. That's why Jesus came to earth.

[@Imozep4Live]

why the hell was brian shaw wearing sunglasses wtf

[@perman07]

I wouldn't ascribe extra log lift reps to athleticism. I mean, sure there is some technique involved in lifting that log, but it's mostly pure pressing strength. It's not like a jerk where precise technique will give you tons of extra kgs on the bar.

[@The_Riggs_Rage]

Not to be that guy, if you think there is little technique in pressing a log, you are incorrect. Breathing is the most important thing, and if you don't have your breaths coming and going correctly, you'll fall a lift. You have to know how to roll a log up your stomach with getting your belly under it, otherwise you'll fall. You have to know how to position your arms because the weight is not like a cleaned bar, but instead 8+ inches away from your chest. Plenty of technique, not just brute strength. Give it a try some time, you'll see.

[@agustin4741]

[@JCPJok3r]

Brother Keith Lawson You are the cancer of youtube. Im not sure if you're a troll or not but that shit got old really fast bro

[@brotherkeithlawson7625]

Herbert I'm not here for my own health. I'm here to preach the gospel. Why is this necessary? Because Armageddon is coming that's why. What is Armageddon? It is the Day of Judgment during which God will destroy all the wicked and degenerate people in this world. The faithful ones will be rewarded with eternal life in paradise. This is the promise of the Kingdom of Heaven. You're currently in jeopardy of being destroyed. You're a nonbeliever, and as such, you have your back turned on God. Well, He is perfectly prepared to turn His back on you. And that won't bode well for you on Armageddon. But God would prefer to have you with His faithful ones in paradise earth. Of course, you'll have to do some things in order to qualify. I am an elder in the Christian congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, and I can teach you these many things. I can lead you to life's water, and you may drink freely. If you would show a tad of humility, I could do wonders with you....really turn you around. Now the ball is in your court. Please contact me if any of this has hit a nerve.

[@JCPJok3r]

Brother Keith Lawson God can suck my nuts bro Have a good day

[@Encounterpart]

Hafthor doesn't make him look normal, he's just a little bit taller

[@hawaiidispenser]

"Close only counts in hand grenades and orange juice!"

[@punishr36]

Telling him what place he's in just as he lifts. Kaz is a goof, heard him do that to Thor as well about how far he hast to move the bar.

[@JannickBahl]

[@maxedwards]

Commentators were horrible. I highly doubt that Jerry Pritchett was getting hyped up on his first rep of the god damn Austrian Oak while hearing someone talk about how he works as a metal fabricator

[@CankleCankle]

And then mentioning mateuz’s injury right as he’s about to load the shit out of it. These dudes are clowns compared to Colin o Quinn and those guys.

ممتاز رائع جدا

[@jacobygreenwood]

Not hatting or trying to take anything away from the podium winners (not like it is even possible), but this wasn't the same without Eddie and Zydrunas, having them both the competition would've been more balanced. This year's WSM is going to be freakish if Big Z can get fit again for the competition.

[@AnthonyMoreno43v34]

Where do they usually play this live?

[@lukaspundzius9293]

Martin Licis from Latvia??

[@titorocha8992]

The announcers aren't bad it's just that to have a good commentary team there needs to be a color commentator and a play by play guy, in this case we had two color commentators

[@brotherkeithlawson7625]

All sinners, atheists, homosexuals, drug addicts, gamblers, fornicators, and nonbelievers will be destroyed at the great final battle of Har-Megiddo.

[@wylfwylfwylf]

Yeah adn the whole stream was terrible, they should start looking how for example the DOTA 2 and LOL community is doing their streams. The music and the constant cringe talking made it such a terrible production value. They could have added some cool shots from intervjues and training while they where stiching gear between the yolk and farmers carry for example. I hope they learn for next year cause if they bump the stream up and do some commercial about it (cause almost none knew they would stream) they would get thousands more wathcing.

[@roybatty-]

Good question.... I know he wants that 5th WSM title bad tho.... I saw recent photos of him, he has leaned down drastically which would actually be good for WSM. I think that is what he is planning.

[@55mechanic12]

Big Z has won the Arnold classic so many times, he stated there would be no point in competing in it any longer. He is training for Worlds Strongest man. I don't think he is injured. I did here, however that his father recently passed away. I believe he will win WSM in honor of his father. Will be rooting for him.

+Kris Valenti Z injured himself during prepareing for the Arnolds. he injured his traps at heaviest yoke Training
