2024 STRONGEST MAN ON EARTH FULL OVERHEAD MEDLEY EVENT

[@Platypus_Warrior]

Huge respect for Mr Brian Shaw for not blaming the staff over the mistake. Shit happens and you handled it mentally the same way as you can physically. The greats show their strength in difficult times. Well done mister

[@achap6376]

100% agree, he was transparent and took the blame. Came up with a fair solution on the fly that included the athletes. Shit happens, we're all human. Much respect to Shaw, master lesson in humility and ownership.

[@ThaStonedGardner]

It is not a great time to be a fan of arm wrestling. It will be a great time to be a fan of arm wrestling when they use their freaking arms! But for now, they're using their whole damn body and leveraging with their other hand. When the rules state that their body can only have 10 degrees of body English and their other hand is flat stacked on their opponents hand under their wrestling arms, then it will be a great time to be a fan of arm wrestling. Until then it can piss off.

50:00 He basically lost the comp right there by not being able to lockout. It's crazy how close it was between Mitch and him

[@daviesugo7641]

It was a 9pt difference. Wasn't really that close.

[@drae6984]

@@daviesugo7641 He missed this lockout and got robbed on the 3rd dumbbell, if he had those 2 he would've won. It was really close. I'm not commenting on the squat because Hooper would've likely won that anyway on that setup even though Thor is the stronger squatter.

[@Adam-bw6dj]

​@@daviesugo7641In a 16 man show, it actually is very close. Thor missed this barely and got the dumbell but was disallowed the extra points because he didnt hold it for long enough at the top. Just stop, he could've made up a lot of points in both of those events and with his peak overhead numbers, could've possibly come top 3 in both and won the show. Not to mention he won 5 of the other events. It was a brilliant showing from Thor.

[@daviesugo7641]

@@Adam-bw6dj I'm not saying it wasn't a brilliant show for Thor. Cause it was, but 9 points is the biggest difference between first and 2nd ever in the 5 years of shaw classic. It really wasn't that close. Thor was incredible, 25 points over third, but 9 points is not as close as you making it.

Also there needs to be two or three guys right around the athlete and the apparatus to make sure the apparatus doesn’t randomly roll and hurt the athlete, (sooner than they are doing so) plus if Max had hit his head on the log, he could have gotten real jacked up. Maybe guys would not have caught him, but could have steadied him down and/or got the log out of the way.

Great show.

[@poorfatman5317]

They screwed tray. That two second pause before giving him the down signal and they gave it to mitch and he wasn't even locked out good

[@Hades-it3gf]

Your feet have to be stable to get the down signal. After he got the log over head he had to take a step forward to regain his balance and when he did that he got the down call. As for hooper his head was through, elbows were locked out and his body was upright I really don’t know what else you wanted him to do.

[@hermanbekkema1582]

What is the difference between these guys and those from strongman championleague?

[@mooman9087]

I don't think I would be able to help but be a little annoyed if I was Novikov. They let him keep exerting instead of telling him to put the bar down. Scream at the guy if he didn't notice or hear you. Do anything to make him notice and get that bar back on the ground. In saying that, shit happens, I'm not saying it would have changed much as no one can know. Much respect and love for all the competitors and organizers. Brian is a legend, all these guys are legends. Big love for Tom

[@bjorneriksson6480]

second guy rested the bar on his belt @3:51 but comentators said it was illegal? Still he was awarded the lift?

[@darrell9294]

I you are correct, he 100% touched the belt. doesn't matter because they screwed up the weights lmao

[@joseluishuamanlopez9963]

Extraordinario evento .

[@ThaStonedGardner]

Is there weight classes for this stuff? I don't ever see 200 pound guys competing in these events. I lift heavy and would love to do some sort of comps, but there's no way I can put 300 pounds on my frame without being very unhealthily obese. And I definitely can't put enough muscle on to compete with these guys without taking massive amounts of steroids for a few years, which I refuse to do.

[@josephsummers2427]

No weight class. Every person gets the same weights and lift requirements.

[@simenandersen3262]

Don't know about America but there are a lot of weight-classed competitions in Europe. For men it's at least all the way down to -80kg and women it is all the way down to -64kg

[@mrgoober6320]

Hafthor looked like he could have muscle cleaned the first two implements.

[@cbomcnasty]

Self reset is no good, also someone needs to move the last implement incase they pass out and fall backwards, and color code the wieghts

[@datswassup9902]

Agreed really, you can rest the weight on your gut but not the belt What's the logic in that

And we must thank him for his charade at the end - hopping on one foot and pointing to the other leg. How else would we have known LOL. Who else does that? He must be the least versatile of all these strength athletes.

[@Montie-Adkins]

I don't understand why they take the axle off the ground to place it on their stomach to them smash and squish that part of their body? Either they do not know how to clean the weight, or they are now allowed to and in the latter why would you not be allowed to? I mean really, are you supposed to think, "Man, gotta get that stomach squish step in!"

[@ThomasShatter]

Have you ever tried to clean a heavy axle thats about two times as thick as normal weightlifting bar while using mixed grip? They are allowed but it's just not possible in 99% of the cases. That's why they almost always do continental clean.

[@Dubbz883]

That comment is unfair. Have you ever organized a complex event like a sports show, with thousands of different elements to juggle and time correctly? I have.
