Jon Pall Sigmarsson - The Greatest Strongman Ever

[@cooldude2245]

He was quite a character. Always saw him on wsm when I was growing up. So sad that someone so full of life was cut short.

[@mv1991]

I think it's worse to grow old and lose your habilities.

[@AsadAli-jc5tg]

More saddening that his wife married his gym buddy.

[@morten8586]

Beeing a wsm means alot of pressure for a human heart + steroids. Not every one has the luck to survive that

[@haukurthorsmarason5267]

@@morten8586 he had a hereditary heart defect. Steroids didn't cause his ruptured aorta, but they probably didn't help.

There is nothing greater than dying doing what you love.... I hope I may pass with honor like him. Thank you for your Jon Pall videos they bring up much emotions.

[@werewolffitness]

His talent was outstanding. We will never see strongmen like him again, he is a true legend and one of the most athletic strongmen in history.

there is no reason to be alive if you can't do deadlift

@Hagop D not everything on the internet is true my guy

[@TirthBArya]

@@noispoi, Totally agree. Wikipedia is not reliable neither most mainstream media which Wikipedia considers to be reliable.

[@snitzelfritzel4349]

@@noispoi true or not is not really relevant to your question though. You asked why people think he died while doing deadlifts. And well. Because wikipedia said so. We didnt know him. Im not from Iceland. Literally my only source of information about his death is your comment here on youtube and his article on wikipedia. Why would anyone think anything else? Wikipedia probably has more truth than comments on youtube.

[@patrickpotter1620]

@Hagop D even if he did..... he died doing what he was great at and clearly loved.

I never knew Jon cut down to sub 9% bf for bodybuilding that shows again just how disciplined he was. Looking very cut and symmetrical especially for a world class strength athlete. Larry looked phenomenal but Jon looked like a seasoned ifbb pro

[@nickbeef1]

The greatest strongman ever was my inspiration growing up loved Jon Pall a true character in the sport and he will be remembered for ever.

[@tonmisty]

What a fantastic character, he made WSM even more popular with his strength and his charisma.

[@gumunduringigumundsson9344]

I watched him blow up an 80's rubber bedheater... thick rubber.. it was about 9"by4" bag of water to warm the feet.. it exploded when that balloon was about a yard in diameter.. when I was 5 years old.. he did it for the crowd! Was awesome!! Literally and metaphorically. 👊🐶🍀🐸🍀💜🌍💜👒🎩🌠

[@ffffffff963]

Hands down the GOAT.... . Most people who followed him dont even know just how many competitions he was in, how many he won. In addition, when he showed up at the one off pure strength and won 9/10 i believe to take it..looking at how huge he was for that competition should also recognize he won most of his titles much smaller.. If he concentrated solely on strongman, forgot about bodybuilding comps...holy crap!

Are those cars he was flipping towards the end of the video, are they heavy? He was tilted the over like nothing.

[@johnbannon2812]

Rip Jon Pall

[@vincentmcgettigan2338]

Ya know, they always say that Jon Pall lacked the brute or raw strength and power of say like a Kaz, or an OD Wilson, or even a Jamie Reeves. That may be the case, it's a very reasonable argument. But even so, JPS was insanely strong in his day. Elite, world class level strength for his era. And in the 1987 Pure Strength Contest, he came in at over 300 pounds. At that contest, I don't think there was a man on earth that was stronger than him.

[@jflemingphillips]

How can a guy who used steroids be regarded as the best ever? Everything he "accomplished" has to have an asterisk next to it. I get that Jon Pall was charismatic and all, but he still juiced. The guy who should be a little pissed is strongman, Geoff Cape, who was runner-up to Jon Pall multiple times in the 80s. Capes' power came naturally, hard work in the gym, and he did it clean. JMO
