The Deadlift should definitely not be a first day event. A lot of people got hurt

[@QargZer]

They need to get rid of the elephant bar BS and go back to a regular bar

[@traininggrounds9450]

The heaviest lifts need to be first. They can warm themselves up before hand but they need to be fresh for it. It's the elephant bar that's killing them, not the order of the lifts.

[@KingCreamP]

@@QargZer you're absolutely right, this elephant bar bullshit needs to go

[@anonanonymous8397]

[@TokyoSwan.]

Next year put the dead lift as the last event. Too many guys get hurt from it now that Eddie set the bar so high.

[@cos3728]

Tokyo Swan but eddie set the record on a normal deadlift bar, this is elephant bar COMPLETELY different lifts. They dont compare whatsoever. 501kg on elephant bar isnt better than 500kg on deadlift bar it is simply 2 seperate events that are not comparable

[@SuperTintenfisch64]

Cos still the deadlift goes heavier and heavier each year, next year I think Thor will get the 500 kg and I’m sure a couple of guys like licis are going to pull a 1000+ pounds

[@Pirustae]

But the record is as it is. They consider Eddie as the record holder despite being on a regular bar.

[@michaelladd115]

Theyre not gonna do that. Exhausting themselves with other lifts before the dead would significantly effect the athletes performance and lead to less weight pulled and probably more injuries considering how many muscles play a roll in the DL. People wanna see those huge pulls and going first is the only way to do it. I doubt any of them would wanna pull last given the option anyway.

[@willcresson8776]

It's more the Elephant Bar bullshit than anything else that's hurting people. It's cool and fun to watch but people ALWAYS get hurt when one is in a comp. They're hot garbage.

@@DEADTHENALIVE Most Fortnite players are literal children. Sure being strong helps in the everyday life of these strongmen, but their strength doesn't help society as a whole until they put it to use in an occupation. What they're doing now is entertaining us (which is what earns them the 72k), and that's exactly what fortnite streamers do, just to a much larger audience (hence the larger payout).

[@DEADTHENALIVE]

@@jasontheranga9769 I get what ur saying, but u just watched a whole vid of strong dudes pushing a medieval slave device which was a real occupation of ppl in the past and lowered it to the hobby of playing a video game with a controller while drinking mountain dew on the couch... Wtf? All athletes are just underpaid fortnite players huh.

[@jasontheranga9769]

@@DEADTHENALIVE the wheel of pain was a prop in Conan... Its similar to a grain mill but it was never used as an actual torture/"slave device". I think you really underestimate the skills involved with being a popular streamer. Firstly, you've got to be really good at the game (but that's a given). As well as this you've gotta give actual decent commentary for hours on end which is easier said than done, you cant just sit in front of a screen for hours with your mouth hanging open and expect people to watch you. You've got to keep viewer retention. Additionally, you must interact with your viewers through the chat function and involve them in the experience, this is what usually draws people into watching streams in the first place. All of this while still doing well in the game. And you're doing this every day. I know it doesn't seem like much but until you've actually tried you don't know how hard it is. A stream isn't just a guy playing a game, its a performance. Comparing streaming to a guy "just playing video games" is like comparing formula 1 to a guy just going round in circles in a car. I'm not trying to say that being a streamer is harder than being a strongman at this level, i'm just saying that they both take real aptitude. In the end, it doesn't matter which one is harder anyway, its about audience. You can build the worlds best forklift that's miles ahead of anything else in the heavy machinery industry, but you're only ever going to sell to companies with forklift drivers. Your profits will never come close to the profits of the next mediocre Iphone with the target market of everyone in the first world.

[@berniebasset9465]

@@azbudski2750 It's not 'science'. People live longer when they have access to drugs... It just depends on the drugs you're talking about. Scientifically speaking though, life expectancy goes up when people have access to drugs that counter heart problems or put cancers into remission. I'm not sure which drugs you're insinuating that these guys take but I highly doubt they take steroids as that is not their bag. They aren't trying to LOOK strong which is what steroids do, they don't necessarily add strength and most of these guys don't have impressive physiques in terms of looking ripped etc. Pain killers are the only drugs that I can think of that could possibly cause harm but I'm not aware of any strong man competitors having addiction problems. And most don't seem to be any worse, physically than the general population as they age. Have you seen the video of Bill Kazmeir and Ver Magnusson competing this year? One man is 56, the other nearly ten years older and both were still capable of remarkable feats of strength. If you want to bring science into it, you'll have to provide evidence.

[@KaninTuzi]

You can't build much of an economy around a sport that can only be played by freaks. There aren't many amateur strong men. No way to market it to children etc. You have to rely on viewership mainly. But because of factors you mention, you can't have much of a season.

[@germanrud9904]

@Kevin Prima what's wrong with you?

[@tobo26]

A geeks point of view. Have a sensor on one of the wheels to measure the distance moved, incorporated with a timer that starts when it detects movement. After 1 minute it stops and reveals the distance moved. Distance measured can be stored/displayed electronically. You could even have it stop if movement has stopped for a certain amount of time, like 5 seconds as penalty/disqualification for taking too long to getting it going again. With this upgrade they can get rid of the laser/marker system and can start from any position without having to reset it back to the start. Not as many officials needed and therefore more money for prize money.

I want to see these guys run 1 mile as a competition

[@KarlPHorse]

Honestly given some of their squat stats they could probably run it just a little slower than the average person, assuming they slimmed down and trained a bit. I mean just doing the math, the average male weight is 197lb and the average male squat stat is 285lb. Of course squats aren't the only factor in ones ability to run, and 197lb is a bit on the overweight side and really only average do to the obesity epidemic, so let's take it down to 150lb and bring the squat weight down to 248lb. That would mean that this person has enough strength in their legs to lift 98lb more than their body weight. Hafthor weighs 425lb, and his squat record is 970lb, meaning that at his best he has enough strength in his legs to lift 545lb more than his body weight. So it goes without saying that he has no trouble getting around. Of course muscle or not, his joints and ligaments would have a hell of a time, so running frequently would probably ruin his knees, but he could most likely run a mile every now and then quite easily.

I find myself here after having a severe shoulder injury( haven't had one in 7 years), what hellish coincidence is this lol

[@residentevilumbrella2001]

And to think, in the movie, Conan did this kind of work all day every day for years and got bigger and stronger.

[@zombiemechanic8738]

My instant thought was Arnold in Conan

[@mcyucks9991]

Dude he was raised on the wheel of pain!

[@rm2kking]

Zombie Mechanic that would be because this is directly based on Conan. This is the Arnold competition after-all.

[@ManMan-ko7ll]

Elric Godslayer You don’t think we knew that already!?!?!

[@rm2kking]

Cool Guy man I don’t doubt you did bit the op seems as if he doesn’t,

[@MirajFI]

Another day walking in circles Haunted of memories I push on this wheel I pray to crom, grant me revenge and help me to answer the riddle of steel!

[@TheCultureCommentary]

When Robert E Howard made "Wheel of pain" a part of Conan mythos he certainly couldnt have expected it to become a part of competitive sports LOL

[@cureyourmind1557]

I respect these guys so much

[@Merkinmacher]

Brian, you gave it everything. Bad luck this year-- get well soon and come back stronger and better!

This Strongman event feels particularly medieval AF

@Martin Luther U mad bro? Get a life fucking troll

[@spiritoflifetruth8089]

This comment thread escalated quickly

[@rsy3974]

You got me 😂😂 exactly what I was thinking

[@JourneyToTheCage]

Martin Luther how do you make a strongman event into a race-bait? You people are strange

[@Zipped_in]

Yikes. Fucking abhorrent channel.

[@SlingbladeJim]

It was good to see the people who turned out as the camera panned the group. Nice to see the local trailer parks have a form of entertainment..............................................

[@survivalistboards]

That was an amazing performance by everyone.

WHEEL OF PAIN, THE MOST ICONIC STRUCTURE BOTH BEAUTIFUL & SSSS-AAAA-VVVV-AAAA-G-E TO LOOK AT; EVER TO BE STAGED @ ANY STRONG MAN COMP. HITHERTO. KUDOS TO THE CREATORS OF THIS MONSTER.

[@AndreaAustoni]

Just love Shivlyakov. Always smiling, nice to everybody and the most stylish of all.

[@blackl1steddrums]

What is BEST in LIFE?!

[@melaniew77msn]

The referee helping the athletes at the wheel is a super great person. His Father and him have the best Hardware store in all of Lancaster Ohio. Having a great inventory super prices and awesome customer service. It is called Slater's Hardware. They cast the Atlas stones there. Steve himself is a big, strong and fit man.

[@infiniteperspectives8017]

The most beautiful Wheel of Pain ever

[@highjim7778]

that wheel of pain is epic, striaght from the first conan film. They need the music in the background and an entire sport based around it! 5 attempts and whoever gets the furthest combined wins!

[@Duckmc34]

Wow, The new Conan Exiles update look great.

[@Choom7]

Hahah!

[@SolonasM]

Imagine, Arnold push that wheel for like 15 years .. :p

[@virginiareaper1178]

"Conan"

[@benrunsacross2935]

He had help from the other slaves, they die off in the montage... progressive overload and Darwinism in one brutal minute of cinema. Awesome movie!

[@baltsosser]

Seeing this used in competition instead of in an iconic movie is pretty awesome.

[@TheAndriThor]

Rogue has got the commentary down and the Europes strongest man in Leeds has got the jam packed Arena show atmosphere down...now marry the two and we´ve got a real damn show, the kind that every strongman comp should be.

[@GoEvenHarder]

It's so weird seeing Gregor in the real world. YOU GO THOR!

[@jean-lucdupuis7052]

Put the athletes on opposite sides pushing in opposing directions, after one minute who ever moved forward wins. Set up a bracket leading to an ultimate champion of the event. The sheer power would be insane.

[@JourneyToTheCage]

John Legler they can’t do that because the universe would collapse in on itself

[@marfamsilva4174]

@@JourneyToTheCage lol

[@snap-off5383]

Basically a tug of war, people want to see the wheel turn. they could put a whip master on top whipping them, and the last guy still pushing wins being bought by the red knight. {:-)

[@thefunkosaurus]

How about ALL of them push the same way , until they can't. When one falls, wheel feels heavier. Last one standing. I think the whole thing would take 10 minutes.

[@jean-lucdupuis7052]

John Peterie That’s actually not a bad idea

[@ellaworld9609]

This men can carry the whole world on their shoulders.

[@grim3016]

its only a matter of time before mateusz wins, you can see the rage in his eyes when he doesn't perform. Looking forward to seeing him compete year after year.

[@danielquinn312]

That is straight from Conan.

[@Sm4shBG]

Finally someone else who notices :D Got so yped when i saw it and I was not dissapointed

[@petemeraz3464]

I always thought it was called the wheel of woe

[@sjsouljah7368]

@@petemeraz3464 No it was the 'tree of woe' he was crucified on after trying to exact revenge on Thulsa Doom- where he ate the vulture by mouth that was trying to attack for his flesh Lol

So we gonna ignore Mark Henry at the end of this video?

[@gorkskoal9315]

who? :P

[@911axe]

That grey haired guy pacing around with the athletes was my high school PE teacher, back when they valued that in schools. He also competed in this competition way back in the 80s I believe (for you have to be correct people, i know ot wasnt Arnold's). Cheers Mr. Young.

[@richardsanchez9190]

I love how they take the Arnold theme to the max
