2021 Rogue Invitational - Strongman Event 2 - Cyr Bell Ladder

[@richieewinns]

These invitationals is a prime example on how to deliver strongman content RIGHT. Yeah I'm talking about you WSM, WUS, the list goes on. Live stream day of contest with fluid graphics to show the weights and standings in real time as well as good camera positioning and Uncle Loz shout-casting. Rogue does it right.

[@markovasil1608]

Couldn’t agree more 👍

[@timlee5687]

WUS was pretty good. It beats paying £4.99 / $10 every time to watch it on Facebook live or official strongman whew the live stream always has issues for a giants live event. But still way better than WSM were all of us are staring at a spread sheet lol

[@thorthewolf8801]

WUS is pretty good. The live update of the scores is sometimes lacking, but if you pay attention that shouldnt matter

[@richieewinns]

@@thorthewolf8801 its that and the lack of different angles to give a better perspective. Last one they did it in dubai was miles better than bahrain, but always can improve. For a fact, uncle loz NEEDS to be a reoccurring strongman shoutcaster for any of these big title events. He is a natural at it.

[@Brachwah]

Couldn't STAND the bright lights at WUS.

[@oilbeefhookedd6185]

Having loz involved in the commentating makes the show so much better! Great to have a pro involved

[@AnabolicRick915]

When Martins and Novikov were pointing at each other and hyping themselves up it brought a huge smile to my face. What an incredibly humble group of men showing unrivaled sportsmanship. God I love this sport!

[@oilbeefhookedd6185]

Oleskii is a testament to how important technique is. He is immensely strong of course but it his technique and form in every event that makes him so damn good

[@Xplora213]

His explosiveness is completely unmatched, his technique is great but his snap looks twice as fast as everyone else’s 😂

[@jefffawcett]

He uses far less actual shoulder power than anyone else, while they are trying to drive it up, he just dramatically drops his body down. For him it’s a leg lift practically, he uses far less effort locking his arm out

[@None-zv2qk]

I'm so bummed for mateusz. He really deserves to have gotten a wsm title and I really hope he recovers from these injuries and gets another shot

[@elreydelmundo1343]

Same. Tbh I don't think Mateusz is ready to return. Every announcer is mentioning how he's lacking confidence and you can see the fear and hesitation before every press. They even said one of his surgeries is recent.

[@josephhalliwell9743]

Agreed, but unless he happens to be in a WSM final without deadlift (which ain't gonna happen), he won't win

[@Hesher93]

@@josephhalliwell9743 it can happen, if they do a squat event instead of deadlift, like 2019

I can't tell you how great it is to see Mateus and Martins competing together again!!! Way to go guys!

[@jamilrizvi5804]

Novikov's technique was par none, the way he dips his knees under the weight making his entire body support the weight and not just his tricep. Beautiful.

[@Hesher93]

@@josephb8499 why not both? Why be egoistic about it.

[@meszian]

Its 45 percent, so pretty easy to get to within a kg or two in your head. 275 becomes 137 then take a couple of kilos down that so 125 mentally. It's good brain excersize too. The accurate answer is 123.75

[@j4nk3n]

Lbs to kilos is 2.2 lbs = 1 kg so if you quickly simply its pounds are double the amount of kilos :)

[@YannMetalhead]

Thank you Rogue!

[@TekDristan]

[@jdvines8337]

I really believe the deadlift should be saved for last and have its own day. Especially with the elephant bar style of dead lift. With a couple of days work up to it and a proper rest it would still be a great show and the strongman group wouldn't see so many injuries right off the bat of the compition.

[@thorthewolf8801]

Deadlift is one of hardest events in strongman, its not a good idea for athletes to do it after being exhausted, that just makes it more dangerous

[@jdvines8337]

@@thorthewolf8801 Then get rid or the elephant bar and go back to a straight barbell. Also i said give it its own day.

[@thorthewolf8801]

@@jdvines8337 I dont think elephant bar is any more dangerous than a normal bar, Brian is just unlucky/has inefficient technique. Giving it its own day, while makes up for being the last event, doesnt reduce it completely, since people are still gonna be exhausted.

Thank you Big Loz for stating Martins was in tv before. His face is so familiar to me but I don't know where I have seen him. Its like he was an actor before being a strongman (for me lol).

[@tpdircks]

If Brian is limping then you know he is seriously hurt. So much of the competition for strong man is just your body holding together. Many people don’t understand the absurd weights these humans are dealing with.

one of the things that hampers strongman is that the weight is soooo heavy, they go out there and perform for almost no time. They really need to invite more contestants to the events to show a greater amount of lifts and show us how unbelievable 280 is. Having multiple contestants no rep is not great for viewership
