You can just see how focused and dialed Evan is. Not surprised he steamrolled this comp, really excited to see his run at World’s

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

I think he will be a huge threat to Hooper for the next few years

[@jaredmbrill]

He called his shot

[@MojKanal-cz1iz]

@@youtubeconnollyfamilyWhy everyone keeps assuming Hooper will be the one who dominates when there is Tom, Novikov, Martins, Mateusz, Singleton, Trey, etc all in one competition lol? Next few years will be epic and full of very close competitions. This is most competitive era of strongman

[@Gbonejohn1974]

@@MojKanal-cz1iz Tom stoltman gets his head right and digs deeper on some events he’s the one with the most potential to dominate

[@BeardOfPower7]

​@@MojKanal-cz1izMateusz and Martins haven't really been competing. They're not in the same conversation as the rest that you named.

[@bennyking572]

It was great seeing some new hungry faces! Thanks to Liz for capturing behind the scenes and Loz done an awesome job commentating !

[@kcolbert4540]

Any time these behind the scenes videos get posted, I get so happy when I see that it is an hour video! All the work of filming, edited, and getting the videos out so quickly is sooo appreciated. Thank you both!!

[@jimllbreakit8537]

Whatever did we do before Big Loz Official? Thanks for another great behind the scenes video, I always enjoy this perspective after watching the full show. I love Liz’s interactions with everyone. Does she need an on-site assistant?

[@adamrawlifting6933]

Hell no, I want an interview for that job 😂 I will gladly hold a purse and become a human leaning post for that sort of access.

[@AlexRavier]

Thanks for the BTS ! Evan was awesome, year of the T-Rex !! So happy for both Gav and Shane who performed consistently throughout the show !!

[@michaels.2331]

I really hope Evans Nana is going to be good because what a humble grateful guy.

[@Pile_of_carbon]

Yeah! Great personality! He did _really_ well in a couple of events. With more experience he could be a serious threat.

[@BeardOfPower7]

He works hard every event. Leaves it all out there. Maximum effort. Love to see that. I would like to see that from some of the more experienced athletes. Like Tom Stoltman dropping the shield early at worlds.

[@petershortland478]

​@BeardOfPower7 tbf Tom may drop early but who's to say hooper wouldn't still beaten him

[@michaelhetherington5516]

Evan is a future WSM winner in waiting imo. Deadlift world record is going soon. Quite a few athletes are now getting the weight off the floor. Won't be long until someone lifts it.

[@matthewthorn7923]

Would be awesome next year if they ran it where the athletes could pick their weight jumps. It would make it less about 1 number and remove that flat feeling that keeps occurring when it’s missed. We could see a number of awesome moments with PB’s, National records and the battle to see who the best deadlifter actually is!

[@wifflebat14]

Happy for Evan and Hicksy. Great showing by Gav and Shane as well

[@cuttertsi3715]

That hug between evan and big gav was so genuine 😢

[@steveunderwood8145]

It’s so cool to hear you guys went out of your way to try and get Evans Nana into a show! It’s obvious how much it means to him and I can’t wait to watch his progress in the sport. As always, you’re both a class act and the real strongest couple in the sport 🎉

[@bruuhhhh]

47:21 I never thought I'd hear 'at the risk of sounding cocky' come out of Evans mouth haha in fairness no cockiness there he absolutely smashed it

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

I still think Graham will be the first one to lift that probably within the next two years. So happy we Americans have someone like Evan now that Brian is officially done.

[@jaket2274]

Evan and Trey are America’s greatest hope now

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

@@jaket2274 yes absolutely. Also watching Bobby at Brian’s show. It looks like he leveled up a bit. We may not have seen the best of him yet, but yeah, Evan and Trey are our hope for a while.

[@jaket2274]

@@youtubeconnollyfamily Bobby is incredible, and with Loz as a coach he can be even better. However he is know for being a powerhouse only, hence the 2 podiums at the Arnold, which is why he won’t be as much of a threat at WSM. I do believe he can win the Arnold and Shaw Classic given enough time

[@kimaboe]

@@jaket2274 Problem for Bobby at WSM is his stones. One thing is having a weakness, but having a weakness that is always the decider in both the heats and the final is a very tough situation. I think he has a very good shot at the Arnold's.

[@aeis3007]

Since he is from Mexico but lives in Texas I think Austin Andrade's nickname to be Tex-Mex. He seems to be good also Evans from Ghana seems like a fun good guy, I look forward to seeing them both in the future.

[@Pile_of_carbon]

Amazing show! Fun to see what Jamal and Lucy could do. Also, it seems every Polish strongman is a god of dumbbell pressing.

[@77slate]

Well done to the ladies. Lucy had a bigger lift in her for sure, amazing lift for the WR. 🎉 Delighted for Gav and Shane did fab to get that 3rd spot. Congrats to Evan. 💪

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Well done Lucy💪

[@joosewv]

Really cool to see Evan getting his performances dialed in. He definitely has a chance to be one of the greats if he stays healthy. Nana had a fantastic comp as well, especially considering it's his first big one. Lots of potential there.

[@steadystate4015]

I had Evan, Gav then Rob on the podium. I was close. Congrats to Shane for 2 podiums in a row!

[@Welshwarrior85]

This was a tremendous show and I'm glad I got to be there to witness it. I'm proud that I am in this video a lot during the crowd shots 😄 And I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet Liz and Loz. It was great when my wife and I asked Liz if we could have a photo with her and she made Loz take the photo 🤣❤️

[@balkamp8888]

Hell yeah Evan! Lookin super strong out there

[@user-pw7xy2sm8i]

Yes Gav! I dunno what he's changed but he's really on fire these last couple of years.

[@markstafford3227]

Great to watch the full video thank you loz and Liz watching from Australia 🇦🇺

[@Gbonejohn1974]

0:08 wow evans upped his dose

[@vfxforge]

Rauno's deadlift lockout is 🤌🤌🤌

[@paradoxicalpeace5664]

I had no clue that Rob was gonna be at the show! And to come in 4th only by a point count is great for him. Really happy to see him do so well!

[@ejlucas93]

And we know he's gay. Super important to strongman.

[@paradoxicalpeace5664]

@@ejlucas93 I didn't even mention it. Why bring it up at all?

[@ejlucas93]

Only because he does. Otherwise I would not even know.

[@paradoxicalpeace5664]

@@ejlucas93 I think it's fine that he shows his pride and represents in the sport.

[@ejlucas93]

I'm only pointing out how clearly important it is what you put in your mouth or butt it is to strongman. This is what we have learned.

[@tammyjackson-gq6jj]

Terry Holland looking buff! Congratulations to the winners.

[@garethwilliams7059]

One of the best I've been to 💯👍

[@espenstoro]

That's a hell of a show! Didn't expect 505 to go, but I was starting to believe a little more. Would love if the athletes could choose their goal for once, get some big PR lifts, and it'll change the strategy for the comp a bit. But wow, Evan is just too good, two weeks after a punishing Shaw Classic, totally dominated this show. My favorite moment is easily Lucy's world record. That's ridiculous! There's more in the tank too.

[@scottmacgregor3444]

It's so heartwarming to see both Evan and Evans Nana competing together. You'd never think they're related to look at them. 😛😛😛

[@anthonydavis3443]

Was a great show

[@matteofabrizio409]

Thank you for putting this out! Bigtime appreciate it!

[@therustynut1081]

The trex strikes again! Couldn't be happier for him

[@sidguernsey1393]

Great video Liz 🙂

[@johnyoung5413]

Another great comp and behind the scenes video Congrats to Evan who smashed that show to pieces. Not very often the winner is decided before the stones. Big shoutout to gav and Shane as well Also massive congrats to Lucy. That deadlift was insane. She could compete with the guys the way she’s going Absolutely worth the 400 mile round trip I made to be there

[@Mcal0on]

I'm really enjoying Evans Nana's attitude.

[@19TheChaosWarrior79]

Jamal seems like an absolute gentleman

[@josephpayne5375]

My boy Oskar did amazing given the circumstances, beyond happy to see him at this level doing that well!

[@bronchoped]

Cant not love evans nana. Guy is out there having a blast! Hope we see him more oftem

[@WhatIfJojoSiwaWasGay]

Thrilled for Gav, great show from him.

[@Ironhead_Avery]

@RobKearny walking out to Raining Men is hilarious. 😂

[@rumblerumble2276]

Evans Nana seems really cool!

[@jason561120]

Am I the only one who is so impressed with how they throw around the warm up weights for deadlift? I think it's because I can't relate to the top weights these guys pull, but the lighter warm up weights I have actually pulled before. Well close to those weights anyways.

[@finlaybeaton2124]

Looking forward to seeing Evan and Mitch face off. Excellent result for Gav too. Feel bad for Rauno, he seemed so confident but if the previous lift is moving slow then heavier is going to be a struggle

[@rfc2003]

Love the behind the scenes stuff! Thanks both 🙏💪

[@Callum_Lifts]

Awesome show to watch and love the behind the scenes videos of the shows 👏

[@e.c.9468]

Contrats to Evan and Gavin for making podium after the Shaw Classic xO

[@chriskirk2780]

Great job Evan!! This is what a Strongman event is supposed to look like! Fantastic crowd energy!

[@CIRCLEOFTONE]

See O'Dwyer crap his pants at 20:13 😂

[@Thulgore]

When Gavin hit's his stride things will get very interesting.

[@Jules-vf1zq]

Austin was awesome!

[@mariusjohansen702]

I had Evan winning and Gav in 2nd and novikov 3rd so 2/3 prediction isnt as bad. Sucked seeing novikov not in shape tho, but other than that it was a really good competition. Really even from 2nd and on. Battle for podium was good to watch.

[@GambitQueens]

damn liz you're the best for putting this together

[@michaelhetherington5516]

I'm commenting as I watch the video. Aunty and Uncle got Evans Nana his chance at a Giants Live event. I hope he did you two proud 🤘

[@NickJennison]

Jeez, Jamal looks huge here - no mean feat in a room of open weight strongmen!

[@grumpee8432]

Singleton always looking like he cleared a couple rails before coming out.

[@frederickknapp5340]

I still say the highlight of the night was Lucy pulling 700. I am so glad I didn't lose my voice screaming at the livestream. My neighbors must think I'm nuts.

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Hi Fred, I agree. I think it would have been better if only those men going for WR , the 3 who did, took part in deadlift and the other did say a deadlift ladder . Or better yet a shoe devoted to WR. Log, stone, yoke, deadlift ,

[@lucascheidegger1625]

Thanks

[@tynestreet5478]

Now that was exciting 🙏

[@25johnlowe]

Yes. Been waiting for this video!

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

It may be good to a WR only comp. Deadlift, Log, Stone

[@lm-usmc]

Tom, Evan and Mitch will be the ones to beat next year. I think Tom took a massive mental leap at the Shaw Classic. He will be dangerous.

[@andrewchisholm3665]

Just feckin awesome 😮. I thought Loz was going to go on and do the deadlift himself 😅😅. Best lift though was definitely from Lucy 😮😮😮😮 that was just so easy looking, roll on 350kg

[@CIRCLEOFTONE]

Great inside fly on the wall stuff. ❤

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

I had Evan, Oleskii , Luke. So not a great prediction . The new guys did great. Evan way out in front but the top 5 others really close. Good result for Gavin and Shane.

[@forteka81]

Man what a show

[@jimllbreakit8537]

And did I hear that right, after meeting Evans Nana once, L&L got him into a giants live a few weeks later? You’re going to have a lot of strongmen in your DM’s 😂

[@Leigh5050]

Awesome

[@NARushton]

So, how many new clients did Loz aquire this weekend? I can see 1 or two who look to be chomping at the bit for it

[@odetotove]

Loz is such a kind and generous athlete. Most strength content I can't watch because the channel host or athlete makes me cringe. Liz and Loz's episodes I can watch from start to finish.

I think its brilliant for the sport we are seeing more and more coverage from the woman’s side of strong man keep it up @giantslive

[@1milliondogs]

Seeing all the competitiors have their own walk out music make me wonder, what would Loz's tune of choice be?

[@matteofabrizio409]

Also Terry Hollands as next James Bond. 😎

[@matteofabrizio409]

He just has to work on getting the posh accent down.
