2024 STRONGEST MAN ON EARTH FULL OVERHEAD MEDLEY EVENT

[@icksTeevee]

Watched the whole thing at x15 speed. They all looked extra strong!

[@jegvilhaenlitenhund]

actually yes :D

[@Dan-e2c]

They are extra strong.

[@fremont66]

Thank you Brian for creating the best strongman comp now in the world!

[@Lychnuchus]

How can you be such a fkin badass: press 375, pass out while doing so, stand back up, shake it off and go press 390? Wtf Maxime true warrior spirit there!

[@mattijsglas]

he didn't pass out, he got disoriented / light headed and tripped

[@josephsummers2427]

Because Max is a superhuman Canadian. He lives in my hometown.

[@johnbeans2000]

Easy, I took a dump yesterday and accidentally passed out. When I woke up I continued... So it's not that hard...trust me...

Maxime is such a fcking warrior, u gotta respect that

[@unspunnewz]

Tom Stoltman! All 5 wow what an amazing feat of strength. Then Trey Mitchell comes out and does it slightly faster. Incredible. Then the Moose comes in and does all 5 as well and takes first by a hair. Awesome.

[@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.

It's a truly great time to be a fan of strongman and armwrestling 💪🏼💪🏼

[@darrell9294]

No one cares about arm wrestling

[@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.

odd question. could the guys technically zurcher the axel upto shoulders 🤪

Great show.

[@jasonm7354]

[@TheSocialGamer]

Good God, this event is nearly made to be unbeatable. I like the tougher events, but Brian is designing the most unbeatable/unrealistic Hercules Strength weights.

[@shavonwilliams4292]

respect to you all

[@rexholez2282]

Watching the overhead press really made me realize how absurd Big Z's shoulders were the weight on the final log was a warmup for him, or if was a rep contest he does 7-8 guaranteed.

[@Couldhavebeensomeone]

"Power belly" AKA the Turtle Shell

[@markovasil1608]

Best Strongman contest in the world

[@bamiblok2477]

Why dont also mention the weight in kg's?..

[@Dan-e2c]

We all know it was lbs !! No one shoulder press 360kg

[@darrell9294]

Divide lbs by 2.204 to get kg

[@josephsummers2427]

I think that would be a nice addition next year , since 99% of the world uses Kg.

[@Entropy__]

Because 'Murica can't deal with science :D

[@williammoore1980]

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.

[@Vampire__Squid]

It seems that 405 lb axle was the hardest thing to get done by a considerable amount.

[@drae6984]

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.

Maxime's effort was legendary! 💪🏻 It would have been better to have Jerry and Loz commentating together without the third guy. He lacked the proper knowledge of Strongman.

[@josephsummers2427]

Sometimes its better to have one announcer that does not know much about the event style. He represents the people that are not as knowledgeable.

[@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.

[@joseluishuamanlopez9963]

Extraordinario evento .

[@Dan-e2c]

How about not hang on a freaking huge belly !!! Disadvantage for the lean guys !

[@hannibalb8276]

You can always count on thor's fanboys to be the most ignorant of the sport and how it actually works, while slandering Mitch Hooper in all the worst ways because they are so bitter about thor losing every comp to Mitch, and how they are unable to explain why it happens without lying about how Mitch cheated or thor got robbed etc, every single time

[@brightdaygaming5692]

I really cant believe they are still calling tom, luke - these kind of mistakes are so amateur..

[@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

[@bjorneriksson6480]

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

[@jasonflett3587]

[@rushgush]

louis cyr of canada, still the overall strongest.

[@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

[@bryce2939]

Where’s Anatoly at?

[@emersonantunes836]

bitelo had to participate as a strong Brazilian

[@williammoore1980]

Hope The Polish Terminator gets a wack at this event next time. Also, Evan got screwed in the deadlift. What kind of idiotic rule disqualifies a deadlift because the thumb supposedly isn’t touching enough. And the refs here definitely looked like they made him hold the press longer.

[@birgerolovsson5203]

I don't care at all about "Touching Belt".

[@serversgunz]

Where was Thor?

[@TheVanillatech]

Thor got robbed. Simple as that. Mitch getting 3x more reps on the squat, when THOR is THE STRONGEST SQUATTER? And nobody says anything - except Mitch who boasted and gloated that he was the best squatter... Brian needs to fix up next years show. Eliminate the exploit ability - go back to basics - and learn from the mistakes of 2024.

[@Whocares66672]

Cry harder

[@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.

[@vaettra1589]

[@miguelclarkeottovonclarke]

it's a form of cheating and does not rely on pure strength, technique etc. Man is powerful and should not have to use assistance in wardrobe, unless you are inferior.

[@ice-xv1hi]

@miguelclarkeottovonclarke I understand why they have the rule, but it seems to be too strict. They aren't even allowed to touch the bar to the belt, which if you've done much lifting you'd know how hard that is.

[@datswassup9902]

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

[@ice-xv1hi]

@datswassup9902 especially since even touching the belt is a disqualification.

[@91010186]

[@lekkerpruven887]

The mistake should be corrected by the contestants continuing where they left of. So with the failed axle. Doing it twice also takes a lot of the athletes.

Yeah they should have skipped the 360

Good ol' Bobby T. You can always tell when Bobby's about to opt out. He'll stop to rechalk and hold his head sideways while he does, trying to look nonchalant, but looking like a German Shepherd hearing a strange noise. 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.

[@gilbertomunos2215]

How unprofessional and idiotic do you need to be, to not be able to place the weights correctly. Maybe Shaw wants to keep doing other shows with the same lack of integrity and with people whom 3 digit numbers are too much for their IQ.

[@thinkforyourself2109]

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. It's easy to overlook a detail like that, especially when the bars are identical. I admire Shaw for coming out, explaining to the crowd and taking responsibility for it. It added an extra bit of entertainment to the show. It's wrong of you to accuse him of "lack of integrity." Where do you get off saying that?
