Why is it that the old strongman / Arnold classics just motivate me so much more than the newer ones? Maybe because I grew up in that era, I don't know.

[@vikingpower8656]

Mariusz is unbelievable. How he got that 3rd and 4th rep on the axel is mind boggling. What a fighter.

[@doublem1975x]

Also in the last event when the weight crushes his foot but he still tries to continue.

[@latex0r]

He has true grit, can't train that

[@annematthews1837]

@@latex0r He was a hard fella. Prison time, rough streets growing up and MMA fighter in his blood. Not to mention perfect genetics and unparalleled work ethic.

Big Z undoubtedly one of the top world's strongest men to have ever lived

[@Vipinnnn17]

no need to add *one of the*

[@Kaynos]

It's amazing to see how far this sport has gone in 20 years. You see these guys struggle with 700ish pounds hummer deadlift and this year Oleskii Novikov pull a WR for 1210 lbs.

[@joeyoest1105]

You know you’re a big dude when you make Arnold look small, lol. Gotta love Big Z!

BigZ is such a champion, strongest of them all yet so humble

God what an awesome competition. Phenomenal effort by Svend Karlsen with the hamstring injury but Big Z was just awesome here! Crazy how many guys improved in the first event from 2003 and 2004!

Hahaha why does he get invited to WSM, he never competes in anything else.

[@jameschristy9966]

He did

[@rRMRMusic]

Because he’s good at running his mouth and stirring up controversy. I guess they figure someone who stirs the pot like he does would get viewers.

The commentator - why was he underestimating BigZ so much on the axle press? It was like they were just waiting for him to leave the stage.

[@garrettjohnson907]

Yeah Z shut up colin real quick haha

[@beardedbjorn5520]

Just Colin trying really hard to create drama like he always does commenting lol

[@JazZz0n]

But we have Mateusz Kieliszkowski now. Future world stronges man in Arnold Classic too.

Except Mariusz never one the classic. He was a hell of a athlete, but was middle of the pack for just sheer brute strength.

Ostatnio jest nagonka na Mariusza że przecież nie wygrał żadnego Arnolda. Tylko ludzie nie kumają że przy rekordach w ciężarach ogromnym plusem jest wzrost. I nie piszcie swoich teorii o dźwigni przy martwym bo niższa osoba jest w stanie podnieść więcej względem swojej masy ciała ale jak masz 185cm wzrostu i rywalizujesz z kimś kto ma 2 metry to tamta osoba z automatu może na sobie mieć 20kg więcej mięśni co da jej lepsze wyniki. Mariusz wygrywał tam gdzie miał szansę wygrać bo liczyły się czasy i wytrzymałość.

[@GordiansKnotHere]

You know what they say, "You have to clean it before you jerk it"... Words to live by.

Man the commentator was just a beacon of positivity towards the competitors wasn't he. Maybe not.

I wish Mark Henry competed back then. Too bad he retired too soon. So much potential. Him and Big Z would have a huge rivairy. Just imagine how strong Mark Henry would be within 5 years😳 ( 2002-2007 ) He could have been the first to lift 500 kg if he kept going.

[@KAR5AVATARGT]

He had nothing more to prove wwe paid him more than strongman could ever pay him plus the other guys were on steroids mark wasn't so he wouldn't want to compete with them. Brian gave big z the rivalry I'd say big z mark henry and Brian shaw are the best strongmen mark henry is still the only guy who's clean the apollon wheels the others had to bring it to their chest.

If someone argues that Mariusz was better than Big Z. I show them this.

Yup, Big Z was a much stronger man overall. Mariusz had more endurance and cardio, which is what won him so many WSM

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

At the Arnold? I don't think anyone argues that. But Pudz is undoubtedly the greatest at strongman as he didn't just beat z but he would dominate Z like it was easy in WSM, and would beat Z in the super series.

[@jasonread5017]

POUND FOR POUND I FEEL THE POLAND WAS THE GREATEST BUT BIG Z IS THE STRONGEST OF ALL TIME . NEEDS TO BE WEIGHT DEVISIONS WITHIN THIS SPORT TO WORK OUT WHO IS THE STRONGEST ? WEIGHING 20 KG MORE THAN THE OTHER PERSON IS A HUGE ADVANTAGE .

@@luckygame5996 Agreed! There are just so many people on KZbin especially who seem to think WSM is far and away the best strongman competition and the rest don't matter. The different major championships emphasize different skills, which makes this sport harder than most to compare athletes.
