Arnold Strongman Classic 2004

[@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

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

[@Vipinnnn17]

no need to add *one of the*

[@AoE2Replays]

Big Z is truly in a class of his own, when you look at total wins, and total podiums, no one comes close. Just looked it up, International & National Competitive Record - [1st (130),2nd (32),3rd (22) - Out of Total(218)] He got 1st place in 130 comps.

[@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.

[@jetsum]

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

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

[@Omnihil777]

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.

[@Vermillion73]

The people had more class and humility back then. Also more genuine personalities.

Colin has done a lot for Strongman but I have always found him a bit vexing.

[@ChUdY1995103]

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.

[@samotargos5199]

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

[@snakerman2612]

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 .

[@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.
