I love how Kaz always goes on these long monologues. He’s such a OG

[@warface4881]

When Caz lifts in that old footage he gets the most deranged look of rage and pain. It's motivating as hell!

[@jrdnwhtny1]

Super Saiyan AF

[@JustinSmith-ph1le]

Bill Kazmaier, the only man, told he was too strong and not allowed to compete. You can't tell me, that he is not in the top 3, for strongest ever.

[@chtomlin]

I worked in his gym with him in those years and he was blocked because he was too strong and just did the Strongman like a hobby sideshow.

[@kazfan3169]

Top 3 hell, hes #1.. he and Paul Anderson where way ahead of thier time.

[@shermanchester68]

J Sumrall That dude was FREAK. There are pics of him squatting from the side. Holy RHINO A$$!

[@kazfan3169]

@Mad Dog Fifii think if anyone believes that strongmen arent on alot of gear is naive in general! I know kaz took stuff, i took stuff, they all took stuff! The point is just taking huge amounts of steroids doesnt guarantee you to be the strongest, many many factors in play.

[@kazfan3169]

@Mad Dog Fifi this could be true, he indeed did have his disagreements and rounds with the wsm folks.

[@TheBeastKane]

Mariusz wasn't the strongest, but he doesn't get nearly enough credit. Nobody can do what he did with his level of body fat/conditioning which to me is extremely impressive knowing how hard it is to do that.

[@Nastgardaren]

Steven Kane his reign started in a time when WSM was more about speed and athleticism than now. And his titles in 2005-2008 were won when Z and virastyuk was in IFSA.

[@TheBeastKane]

I know when his reign was pal which apparently you don't and i just said he wasn't as strong as these guys but thats because he wasn't fat or nearly the same weight as these guys. Your also wrong about Z, they were competing against each other since he won his first WSM, So obviously you haven't followed the sport very long or you'd know this. He won his first in 2002, Z came in second.... same with 2003. Mariusz is a 5 time WSM and he did it fuckin shredded. Also a fun fact in 2009, he beat Brian Shaw and lost to Z. He could have been a 7 time WSM, he was that good. It's a different era now and i have no doubt he would have adapted to it.

[@dirkadirka5395]

Not just that but then the guy retires from strongman and gets into mma and does pretty good too. He beat a few big names. Mariusz was stronger than Kaz by a mile in many events. Jon Pal was also pound for pound the best at his time. Big Z is my top guy but I think it's now going to be the time for Thor as he has finally put on more core weight and is much younger than Shaw. Can you imagine the Juice these guys are poking? Wow.

[@TheBeastKane]

Yeah as much as i love Shaw and want him to win, it seems as if Thor is really peaking right now.

[@SeanBryantHayes]

Body fat percentage absolutely does not factor into what makes the "world's strongest man"... it's more stuff like... y'know... strength?

[@peternicolaisen2116]

Maybe not the strongest but most motivated was jon pall sigmarsson and good old pudzian

[@papasauce234]

I mean considering how lean he was in most competitions it was very impressive, and when he bulked up for 1987 Pure Strength he was miles ahead of Kaz and Geoff

[@Samdabikinman]

Kaz lifted sometimes at the American Fitness center on Jimmy Carter Blvd when I was 18 in Georgia. I was in awe just seeing this monster make heavy iron look easy. Was very nice as well, never seemed to think he was any better than others.

Well there's like 3 definitions for strongest man of all time. The guy who sets the most records, the guy who was the strongest for his size, the guy who would have been the strongest ever if he'd been around at the right time. I think all these deserve the same amount of credit. One paved the way, one pushed the limits, one proved what the human species was capable of.

As if Mariusz with another 70-80 pounds wouldn't be scary. These guys aren't all muscle though, lol alot of that 70-80lbs wouldn't be muscle. You need fat to be extremely strong.

Can understand it to a degree. Guy won 3 titles, then got banned from the sport he loved for years for no reason at all then being too dominant. And of course when you are obsessed with and the greatest at something, your time is up, and you can no longer do what you love, it tends to make one bitter. Doesn’t excuse it entirely of course, but I can understand where he’s coming from.

[@dennisorr1746]

87' I saw Mr Bill Katz. In Montreal Canada after my 1st of 4 back surgeries and thought he was a giant..like most height goes with age esp. If you're dead lifting cars!! I believe he was best ever and would've lifted heavier if he competed nowadays. Would've loved to see him compete against Hafthor, Zadrunas, Shaw, Magnuson, Hall and my new favorite pound for pound , Olexski Novokov!

[@connorcoyle1]

To be honest if Kaz was to have today's training and recovery knowledge he'd still be top dog. Also he would have had the most WSM titles if he would have been allowed to. He is the best.

[@dirkadirka5395]

Jon Pal brought a lot of needed light to strongman and backed it up being lighter than most of them. Big Z is still the best ever to date but,,,,, now is the time for Thor as he has had a taste of first place and has put on some more needed core weight. He will pull away from the pack now and still being only 29.

[@yozkopf3000]

Jon Pall was much weaker in all static lifts. He also was a powerlifter. But never compared close to what Kazmaier has done in the same era. He was a great athletic strongman yes, but he's not in the realm of strongest of all time. Kazmaier was definitely stronger. Kaz would have gotten much more than 3 WSM titles if he would have been allowed to compete.

[@darthghitza8037]

Yozkopf Bill’s best lifts were 300 kg, 402 kg, 420 kg (bench/deadlift/squat), JPS’s were 235 kg, 365 kg, 370 kg (bench/deadlift/squat)... so yes Bill was stronger, but JPS was insanely strong as well... and has Kaz beat in the athletic department by far.

[@OriginalPuro]

Kaz is a legend that will remain with the sport forever. PS: The Icelandic people probably respects the older generation not just because they're older, but for instance Kaz competed against Jon Pall, that's not something anyone can do..

[@gregbalteff1529]

bill is the greatest ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@daw162]

Kaz was super strong. These guys now are bigger and they don't specialize in bench press or specific lifts (unless they're going or a record), and they are limber and athletic. Think about that, guys 6'8" 420-440 and limber and athletic. When it comes to moving big things around and lifting big things (that aren't just shaped like weights), they're a cut above the guys in the 80s. The guys in the 70s and 80s, and then after that, though, paved the way to make it big enough money that guys like shaw and hafthor could create a personal brand for themselves and make money.

[@aaronrus]

I think Kaz meant 'PRP', not PCP... if PCP is the reason all these guys are strong, then damn....

[@aaronrus]

[@quabledistocficklepo3597]

Best modern strongman, id say hes tied with big z, best of all time, its gotta be louis cyr(strongest man of all time with no drugs or hormones) then paul anderson, then those two

[@aaronstein947]

Kaz could likely win or be top two in a ALL TIME STRONG MAN competition(if magically one would happen) Big Z would most likely win the whole thing if he was more mobile and athletic. But Kaz's combo of RAW POWER and athleticism likely make him the GOAT. Pudzianowski was really strong, but more so he was super fast, we would do well, but probably lose in most events to Kaz. Brian, and Thor too would likely finish very high too. Would be AMAZING to see them all compete against each other in their primes. Only in dreams.........

[@robertjrobicheau8456]

When Bill breaks down the weights the early guys did with their body weight it blurs the pound for pound strongest man ever after Halthor and Brians dimensions are given. Bills's 3 bench max total was a W.R. for a very long time. He has to be in the very small goup of strongest ever.

I don’t doubt him a bit He bested everyone at the time and was on top If someone was around then to challenge him, he woulda got it no problem Just go back and see how easy he did the heavy lifts in the early 80s For anyone to doubt his ability amazes me

[@kennethli8]

Correct me if I am wrong but Kaz was banned for a few years because he was too dominant. During his time they did not have recovery and did raw lifts.

[@mikesbbody]

Yes he was banned they (World's Strongest Man) felt if one man dominated for year's the public would get bored think conspiracy doesn't happen in Strongman? think again! O.D Wilson was about to win WSM and they changed the last event to basically a cardio event which J.P won what a joke! WSM also tailor made the events for Eddie Hall to win back in 2017 it was "time" for another English Strongman to finally win and they knew exactly how to do it (make the competition a "static" event) I sometimes wonder if it's a popularity competition. As for Kaz they did have lifting suits back then but they were new (as were knee wraps) Bill benched 300 kg raw the squat suits were a joke back then so were the knee wraps.

[@petelillo186]

It's difficult to measure over time the Strongest Man in the World. You have your peak years, so they come and go. The Strong Men today weigh much more and are taller with modern training methods and supplements, including Drugs legal and Illegal. Anderson and Hepburn if they were at their peak today with today's modern training and supplements would be untouchable.

[@anthonyzarb2881]

[@DannyHamar]

Curling 100lbs for reps, pressing the 120s overhead for reps, Just from what Ive heard. I bet he can do 500-400-700 raw in powerlifting Even now if hes not training it. Probably he dies it sometimes so maybe he can do some more on a lift or some less on some :)
