What’s happened to talking strongman ?

[@hockeyfreak896890]

Phil winning 5 events in a row in the final the year he won will forever go down as one of the most DOMINANT finals performance by an athlete EVER. What a beast of a man.

[@AA-tq7dm]

@@williamkelly5689 Well unless you look at WSM 2003 where Mariusz beat second place by 20 points 😂

[@kevinkohoutek995]

@@williamkelly5689 actually also in 2007 , when mariusz lost Phil the year before . Before the atlas stones mariusz won WSM before the final event even happened .

[@wifflebat14]

I was going to say this. My favourite final because he looks like he's done after the first 2 events, then just turns it on. What's more amazing is he did exactly the same in the heats that year. What a champ.

[@Slasher1331]

It was legendary!

[@MattRhodesSport]

This was really great. Talk about doing it the hard way with a full time job, no training partner and getting the better of the great Mariusz.

[@allylilith5605]

I feel like most athletes and viewers want to see more natural stones. It's just the most iconic thing for strength sport in general imo.historically man vs stone has something very special about it and I hope to see more of it in the future. A raw test of strength and creativity, with a lot of potential surprises in the results

[@beardedbjorn5520]

I agree. The natural stone events at the Arnold’s get amazing views compared to some of the others. People obviously want more.

[@ryanwilliamson9126]

Wanted this interview for a while, other interviews I'd like to see and I'm sure others would: Andy Bolton Glenn Ross Darren Sadler Peter Bremner Dale, 3d strength Rob Frampton Dan Hipkiss Tom Hibbert Great channel Loz, been a god send in 2020 for all us stuck at home and I don't think you even realise how much of a positive impact this content has had in what's been a hard year.

[@BigLozOfficial]

Thank you buddy

[@SpodyOdy]

Glenn Ross would be interesting seems like a character.

[@mrunoriginal3248]

I'm also interested in Rob Frampton and Glen.

[@erikenqvist9081]

How chill and mellow is that dude?

[@Crazyeyes121]

I'd like to see an interview of Glenn Ross aka Big Daddy he's done so much for the sport in Ireland an UK with events too getting new competitors into the sport

[@dfeferman]

Phil is one of my fav strongmen of all time. his 2006 performance was legendary

[@mgcgrozit]

I loved that Hercules Hold moment. Absolute legend of the sport! Big Phil is the nicest and most genuine person and he seems like a good guy to be around.

[@JohnMitchell-th6yu]

I'm so happy you got Phil Pfister on Talking Strongman. Hes been my idol for a long time, having grown up in Charleston West Virginia.

[@StrongerThanBigfoot]

That's awesome I live in Martinsburg,WV

[@williamwhalen1168]

5 straight wins in the 06 finals to win the title. Such dominance. Never see that dominance again ever. Sure guys can win by a lot of points, but to win 5 straight finals events out of 7. Totally awesome. Cheers to you and Liz on your channel.

[@wolfsfire68]

Thank you Loz for this excellent interview with Phil Pfister. His win over Mariusz in 2006 was absolutely epic!

[@Slasher1331]

Phil Pfister's 06 final run was legendary! A man standing 6'6" weighing 375lbs moving as fast as he did was extraordinary!

[@joshuacourtney3870]

Phil is a legend!!

[@wesleyzepeda6759]

Phil has become one of my favorite old school strongman. Just because one of the older guys in my gym used to train with Phil and tells me all sorts of stories about him.

[@robmantle3710]

One of the best chats yet, Phil needs no questioning he can just talk and talk. Great to see an insight to the guys I grew up watching on TV. Seems like a genuinely top bloke. 💪👌👍

[@ricze6]

I couldn't wait for this. One of best memorys.. Phil Fister winning WSM is one of them. I do BB but love Strongman and watching it too. Beating unbelievable competition too and bringing the title back to the USA after a long time.

[@MouserStrength]

Used to bring Phil to one of my shows almost every Fall for many years. Absolutely terrific guy to have at a show. Great on the mic, great with people, easy going, and an intelligent guy.

[@TheBullWillWin]

I watched that strongman in 2006. Beating Marius made him a legend!!!!

[@paulbudford]

Another great interview. Phil is still a very humble guy.

[@iandunbar7030]

Fantastic Loz , love Phil such a humbling chap ..

[@misterc5783]

This is one I’ve been keen to see. And it didn’t disappoint. Great humility and that’s always been very easy to warm to.

[@BigLozOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Maddolis]

Nice hearing these stories about Brian Siders, he was always great fun to watch at the Arnolds. You had your strongmen powerhouses like Zydrunas and Vasyl, then someone like Brian would compete or Glenn Ross would press overhead with zero leg drive and turn the odd event into a spectacle. Brian probably would've made a great armwrestler too had he chosen too, I remember him being interviewed by Greg Valentino and Greg's hand just disappears into Brian's when they shake.

[@danwhite3919]

I've often wondered what became of Phil. This was a great episode Loz, keep em coming!

[@petergibson6589]

Brilliant, been waiting for this. True legend of the sport.

[@marcusorillius6971]

[@gripstrength]

Great interview!

[@joeblow5929]

Awesome stuff Loz. The way this sport has grown over the years I think Phil Pfister coming out and being a part of the new generation stuff would be awesome even if its holding a mic and talking to folks. There really isn't enough coverage of the sport and bringing back the older Athletes would be awesome. Your voice and relevance is just important today as it was back when you were competing.

[@deltamech85]

Absolutely love and appreciate these talks with previous generations of strength athletes. You are the only one who gives these athletes form whom we all owe so much a platform. Would love to see the Gillingham brothers who have got to be one of the strongest families in history. Thanks again

[@ivesvisagie6717]

Great Interview Loz

[@andrewlow-hang3106]

Awesome video. 👍💪

[@Danimal77]

Phil, you're a true legend of the sport. You're authentic, down-to-earth, highly intelligent/articulate, easy going and funny. People might have mistaken your confidence for arrogance back when you competed, but the truth is, you just believed in yourself, which unfortunately is a rare trait. I have nothing but respect and admiration for what you have accomplished. Thanks for the years of entertainment Phil!

[@Esprits4s]

Great interview! Thank you

[@jasonrakes4707]

Thank you loz for this. A true pleasure to catch up with Phil. Loz, you was one of my favorites to watch by the way.

[@billyyousaf01]

Hi Loz, Awesome video! Great talk with Phil, he definitely seems like a cool bloke! Really enjoyed it! It'd be great to see you and Phil compete together in a Masters competition.

[@brettbrown6377]

Wow! What an awesome interview. As an American and a strongman fan since the late 70s, there was a long drought to endure of American winners of WSM. Phil seemed to be the catalyst for a resurgence of American wins. His 2006 win was incredible and came against a competitor in Marius who seemed unbeatable. Please have Kaz on and thanks for what you’re doing.

I am still hero struck by Phil. 2006 was the first time in my life I got to see an American win WSM. His declaration in the heats during the Hercules Hold as awe inspiring, and he delivered. God Bless you Phil. 2006 still a personal favorite.

Great interview! What a character with a good heart. I am a huge fan of Pudzian, but can’t stopping smiling when he beat him in the atlas stones and did the famous scream: yeahhh! Yeahhhhh!!!

[@miroslawswiercz8494]

I actually strongly agree with Phil they need more natural events!

[@beardedbjorn5520]

Absolutely! More old school unconventional feats as well. I’m a bit sick of deadlift and log press.

[@shawnsprowl757]

I love the history great interview.

[@mikesbbody]

So glad Phil made good on his promise to win WSM one thing I like about you Loz is you're not afraid to correct anyone (even a WSM) if they get a fact wrong or whatever it's a good thing to do it shows you are passionate about what you do :-)

[@PronatorTendon]

I've gotten much enjoyment watching his era, and Kaz', and Cleve, and Stefan, and Magnus, and Raimonds, and Mariusz, and Big Z, and Loz, and Brian, and Eddie, and so on, just a captivating sport that hasn't yet gotten it's due. The cost/prize ratio is ridiculously low

[@bigbenpbr]

Awesome interview. Loved watching Pfister back in the day. He does not get the credit ge is due. He even beat prime Marius once.

[@kraignewton4617]

Finally I’ve been eating soo long for this

[@proboz]

God, your poor toilet. (Just kidding. Funny little typo!)

[@Mr.Ciobanu]

Yes, fking love it ! One of the most impressive win in WSM history !

[@darkkyngaming]

Great interview with Phil, who was a total beast in his day. On another note, would you be up to doing an analysis video on deadlift styles? Watching the Hummer tire deadlift at the Shaw Classic it just looked like a bunch of different approaches. Novikov for example takes a really narrow stance and his arms almost come over the top of his knees instead of outside them. Obviously it works for him but it looks like hell on the lower back. In contrast Jerry seems to widen out as much as possible. Would be interesting to get your take on the different styles.

[@sheenamcconnachie6592]

Phil categorises Strongman perfectly 👌

[@riselikethephoenix1]

WSM 2006 is still my favorite to go back and rewatch. Watching Phil dominate the guy called THE DOMINATOR was so cool!
