10 INCREDIBLE Feats of Strength From The Rogue Invitational

[@intoxicatedchocobo8370]

Shout out to rogue for the free stream, I think that was the first strongman comp I watched and have been a fan since.

[@Seb4-w]

JF is criminally underrated as a strongman

[@francogalea804]

The way he was improving year after year at the end of his career was incredible. He injured himself when he was poised to win a major show. Would love to see him back at the top level but I don't think it will happen.

[@Seb4-w]

For a good 4 year window he was the guy that fucked up your favorite strongman's group or comp

[@CraigNiel]

Thing with JF is that (like so many) he had too many weakness's. He was unbelievable at squat and deadlift but other events (particularly in WSM) he was weak at so never placed high regularly. Personally I think JF would have made a much better powerlifter than strongman. Still, I've always liked JF and would have loved for him to take an Arnold Classic or WSM just once.

[@chriskolenberg4155]

Are you guys for real?? Why is he underrated or why should he have done powerlifting (which he actually did). He won podium places on all the major shows: ASC, WSM, WUS, Shaw classic. Won twice world strongest viking, and I don't know how many times strongest man of Canada. I don't think he is underrated nor should he have pursued more in powerlifting. Everyone that knows the sport knows he's a true legend.

[@coltensloan]

@@chriskolenberg41559 time Canadas strongest man, 9 years straight an animal

[@anthonyflores2297]

Mateusz with the bull pull is one of the most impressive events I've ever seen

[@deanrobinson2459]

did Brian do it in the setup/testing too?

[@anthonyflores2297]

@deanrobinson2459 Brian's testing setup was slightly different i believe

[@Tim_flips]

I honestly think that log performance by Tom isn't talked about enough. He looked like an absolute machine on that event.

[@TomHenksYT]

He looked like he could have gone for another 2 or 3 reps if the time allowed for it!

[@antoniocenteno1483]

I remember checking the name and my eyes like, was that "Tom? No no no, this must be Luke... Shit is Tom!"

[@Micheldied]

I thinkit was (fairly) overshadowed by them completely changing up the overhead event that was supposed to be far more exciting.

[@michaelprice8207]

I like Mitchell, but I really hope Thor and Tom can give him some real compilation

[@lordsudbury]

Toms 10 reps is insane

[@maartenn2217]

Man a fit Martins is such a treat

[@FastMisha]

4:35 Big Loz after 11th rep: 'If he's smart he would leave it there' Pavlo: 'I'm not here to be smart, I'm here to dominate' 💪🏻😂🇺🇦

[@e.c.9468]

My man J-F Caron was just too strong of a deadlifter for that era once Thor, Brian, Prichett & Janashia were gone

[@antoniocenteno1483]

Yeah. Out of all the elephant bar deadlifts that was the "weakest" and he won no problem. In comparisson he finished 2nd with a 961 pound deadlift in 2020, wich was obviously won by Thor who actually won in his first deadlift with 966, but still went for 1025 just for fun; and in 2018 he also got second with a massive 1021 pound deadlift, again behind Thor´s 1042.

[@TheBrainfsck]

Even Rogue is able to livestream their events.

[@antoniocenteno1483]

You know, Rogue pretty much started it when they got involved in the Arnold´s

[@antoniocenteno1483]

What i love about the Rogue invitational is that Rogue put together new strongman events that would not make the cut for the Arnold´s but will still be really cool to watch, is like the "have fun" of the 4 big strongman shows.

[@EllisThings]

We've really missed fully fit versions of Oleksii, Martins, and Mateusz. Hooper has had it easy lol

[@tumadre5000]

I wouldn't say easy...you have Trey Mitchell, Tom Stoltman, he faced Brian Shaw, he is facing a returning Thor, Evan Singleton, and other strong up and comers. Mitchel Hooper is just a well rounded strongman who is just top tier and would also have destroyed fit versions of Martins, Mateusz, and Oleksii...probably would have been above a fit Thor when he was at his strongest in 2018.

[@antoniocenteno1483]

This. I love Mitch, but people act like the oposition nowdays is toguher than when those guys where in shape; now Thor is back though but comming from injury... he did complete the carry - log event today though

[@CraigNiel]

I'd hardly say he's has it "easy"... His first WSM win (only his second appearance at WSM) was against an in shape Tom Stoltman coming a close second and Novikov third. Stoltman was the previous champion and Novikov the 2020 winner. To come into only your second WSM appearance and win in those circumstances is incredible. You simply have to be an elite strongman to do this. That's just his first win, I can;t be pestered to break down all his others. I really don't understand the hate towards Hooper or even the snardy comments like this. Had it easy? Do me a favour!

[@Mankus100]

It'd be great to see Martins and Oleksii back in great shape. looking forward to the show!

[@adamcroker_hg]

Rogue is very smart opening this event to more and more diverse athletes. Adding strongman, strongwomen, and now Highland Games is the way to grow strength sports, in general. Happy to see it!

[@electricsheepdream]

So many iconic moments! The way Oleksii dips his body under that last db👌🏻 the speed of Mitch and his wideness mogging the deadlift… getting hyped for Friday 🎉

[@danwoodley3127]

I miss J.F!!

[@ElzbietaS-i6u]

Love these Rogue highlights. I know which one blows me away each and all by one man 🇵🇱

[@peterogers6813]

Seeing JF, Oleksi, Trey, Mateus and Martins (and Rob Kearney in the background) in the video makes me a little sad. But also excited to see what other people can do this year.

[@thatcrazykid1393]

Pavlo has so much promise. I hope he recovers and comes back for a long career

[@Devou1s]

Who else could have won the 'Tower of Power' other than Nakonechnyy? The event name is an exact description of him!

[@parisferguson8654]

Can’t wait to be there this weekend

[@DavidVirtanen]

Lucky

[@daltonmason62]

So excited for this weekend. Can't wait!

[@PanBujanek]

4 hours sleep was still too much for Mateusz. Imagine what would happen after 8 or 9 hours. Probably that bull would be finished in 30 seconds😂.

[@sandeepjayakumar3680]

Ahh Mateusz! Always a delight watching him competing❤❤❤

[@SJR4815]

The second I saw the title of this video, my head went: "Mateusz Mateusz Mateusz Mateusz Mateusz."

[@mikemoore2791]

If these monsters come back at full capability, Hoopers gonna know how things are.

[@mediaproof960]

Gonna be a fun show. It would be nice to see Mitch pushed a bit. I actually think he would like that as well lol

[@ОльгаЛящук-е5п]

This time we have women too ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@michaelkirkland6573]

Liz and Loz will have to make a new highlight video in a couple of years!

[@ThorsHammer88]

Most of the video could just be Mateusz highlights

[@kamikadzegga9188]

And I'm not surprised, Mateusz is a beast, if only he had a better deadlift then he would become a legend for winning so many comps.

[@oliverbailey48]

​@@kamikadzegga9188mitch hooper is pretty much matuesz with a good deadlift 😂

[@Micheldied]

​@@oliverbailey48 disagree. Mitch is incredible, but they're very different athletes. Mitch consistently places high, but he doesn't actually win many events at the biggest shows (not including Giants Lives), although he's definitely getting better and probably will end up winning way more events. He's cerebral and typically does just enough. Mateusz has a huge weakness in the deadlift but he stomps everyone else in many, many events, and he kind of has to because his deadlift is so weak. Many of the things he's done are leagues above what anyone else is even capable of.

[@ScotB-j7o]

Thank you for some great highlights!

[@sarahstorr]

These were awesome feats of strength! Thank you for the compilation. ❤

[@julianhernandez6457]

Thanks, great vid.

[@kizzmitten1]

So cool. Nice to see the lads from couple years ago. Love the Dragon , Matty and Novy! Ha Ha

[@Kragatar]

If JF hadn't had that injury on the log, he'd probably be one of the contenders to pull 505kg.

[@DavidVirtanen]

Yep 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@Dad_Lyon]

Really wish I went to that first rogue invitational.

[@tallpaulhutchensjr.]

There's that Mr. Big Loz 💪😎🤘 Hope to see ya arm wrestling again soon.. been some chatter by the fans that maybe you, Eddie, Krill (I don't know how to spell his name lol) and Brian Shaw would be amazing seeing y'all on the arm wrestling table. You vs Brian is kind of inevitable to happen lol. A lotta fans wanting to see it. Maybe even a uncle Jon rematch depending on how much arm wrestling training you've done since that match, but definitely you vs Brian and if somehow Eddie beats Brian then maybe you vs Eddie would be awesome. I've followed strongman longer than arm wrestling but the last couple years arm wrestling has stole my attention and focus lol. Both the top 2 sports on the planet in my opinion 💪

[@bringmemyflail1321]

Great video!

[@krishellmann758]

3:09 🗣🗣🗣MARTINS MENTIONED RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH 🗣🗣🗣

[@StrengthShowcase]

Toffee Gurom! 💪🏻

[@tylermulek]

Wide Pavlos Tower of power deadlift was insane.

[@Vipinnnn17]

Hooper's Yoke into log is absurd

[@Jameslow2486]

The bull run was a broken event, worst ever!!!

[@jarheadcoffee]

Hell yeah!

[@neosilver7259]

Can someone tell me if martins is planning a comeback for 2025 or is he done with strongman and will focus on his social media journey?

[@tabascojoe77]

💪💪💪

[@frederickknapp5340]

Not happy with Rogue moving to Scotland. I will be going to Garland Tx this week and would have made it to Austin. Oh well, still got the live stream.

[@QueenToKingOfSpades]

Mitch without a stache is weird now.

[@inflameslp311]

He looks like Buzz Lightyear lol

[@DavidVirtanen]

Nah He Looks Better Without The Mustache

[@sanslimites4579]

squat or deadlift ? BOAT !

[@awallner1]

Martins is competing at all this year right?

[@thatcrazykid1393]

I miss Martins. Hope he has a healthy retirement

[@IceArrow-dr8yd]

Where is nacconecny today?

[@sagebauer1077]

he almost died in a car accident. he's back to training but I wouldn't expect him to compete again for another year or two at least

[@IceArrow-dr8yd]

@sagebauer1077 nooo, really? Hopefully he is doing alright now.

[@maslakarkhus8673]

I really think without the car accident he would be in the deadlift race with Thor and Mitch rn, having potentially already taken 505.

[@ChatgptEngine]

Tom might just viper press his reps this year on the log

[@christianchapman9420]

I miss oleski 😢

[@Bmxae]

Mateus is second to nobody on pulls

[@kbenk108]

but its not in the usa...that was pretty dumb of the organizers. Crossfit is famous in North America, not Scotland.

[@Sztaaan]

Again, Mateusz wins the compilation as a monstrosity :D

Novikov lock out was trash
