I like how you copy Anthony Bourdain... from the intro monologue and throut the video- great job

[@JonDeth]

Your recovery process was an inspiration to me and reminded me just how long it took for me to heal my right leg after tearing the sciatic nerve 17 years ago. I tore it again last July. The leg will be back in a couple more months, but my left shoulder probably 6 to 12 months! *I'm sure I could have gotten the leg back in 2-4 months since the July tear, but it took me a long time to get my head back into it.*

[@27incubus]

Hey man, I'm glad you fully recovered after Chong Li almost killed you in the kumite! JVD avenged you though and it's awesome to see the recovery.

[@patxicarp7420]

Martins... thanks you mate!! ❤ i live in Nabarra and when i see your video... pfff awesome!! 🥰🥰 good job! Incredible, the respect for the vasque culture, the people and the Herri Kirolak. Im sure you are THE HARRIJASOTZAILE!! Nice to see people like you, big boy with strong heart 💪💪 ZORIONAK!!!

It’s so we’ll done all the way around. The narrative, film quality and production are all top notch. Thanks Martin and crew!

[@kylelanda8962]

Martins.. Being basque, I appreciate you bringing this to the masses.. we are a proud race.. I can't wait to go visit one day..

[@bpare]

"It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”- Socrates Incredible Martins, just incredible. I'm loving your journey man... I am along for the ride.

[@clivedytor2069]

Basques are an amazing people. Strong, proud, great friends and terrible enemies! They are the Scots of Spain

[@chromedruidess2546]

Congratulations on another stunning production. The genuine respect shown throughout the entire Strength Unknown series is a pure joy to watch and everyone involved should be proud of bringing these different strength cultures to the attention of a wider audience. Well done. I can't wait to see where else you take us.

[@romarkweiss1795]

Thank you!

[@raybergstrom]

Guys, this was absolutely amazing! Goosebumps watching Martins lift in that packed auditorium. The Basque strength culture is truly remarkable.

[@bennyc409]

You somehow lifted this third episode to an even higher level than the first two. Outstanding boys!

[@MartinsLicis]

We’re constantly learning! Thank you! Spread the word and share, we want to keep going with these 😁

[@juandos8513]

You can really feel the Basque living, the emotion in everything they do. The shush at 7:27 because something very important is going to happen and we need silence for it, so good

[@NatsirtMats]

You definitely have a talent for narrating. Your voice and style really keeps the ears listening. These episodes/series are so well done!

[@MartinsLicis]

That means a lot to me 🙏 Thank you

[@Zelkrixx]

Greetings from Bilbao, in the basque country, and must say that I loved your video, I hope you had a great experience in our lands, you made a really beautiful work and you should feel proud of what you´ve achieved.

[@MartinsLicis]

Thank you so much! Please do share with friends and family!

[@pereximepere8439]

They must to know that the strongest men on earth are always in Bilbao!!!!

[@larsfromaustria]

My history professor in University once told us that, in the basque language, certain tools still have the word "stone" in them, meaning that these words where passed on from generation to generation since the stone age. Truly the oldest people of Europe.

[@Quehuevohtengo]

A few months ago a very important and significant archaeological discovery was made to situate the Basque people a little better chronologically in history. The discovery is called "The Hand of Irulegi". Check it out.

[@StrengthOfADragon13]

Strength unknown embodies my favorite description of strongman. The sport isn't about winning, as much as it feels like a war on gravity, where every inch is to be celebrated. Winning is nice, but the biggest enemy is how heavy the obstacles, not the competitor next to you

[@dukebenjamin4940]

Strength Unknown is amazing. This series clicks a lot of different boxes. Martin and his team are gifted content creators. Well done guys.

[@thewayofstrategy]

Basque Country is absolutely beautiful, from the landscape, architecture, food, and of course strong and noble people. I didn’t want to leave either when I visited

[@louisevans8378]

As a young person getting into strongman, it is so interesting watching martins discover the origins of strength. One of my favourite videos to be uploaded to KZbin.

[@r2dadizubz]

Possibly the best video ever uploaded to KZbin.

[@Hirooshii1]

This event with a group of strongman along with you would be so cool to see. Taking the Stoltman brothers, mateusz , Brian etc. would be insane to see.

[@vittocrazi]

i dont know. may be too disrupting...

[@onemoreround6820]

I'm an American and I have been living in the basque country for almost 20 years. It's great to see you here

[@ramonsaiz2001]

A little fun fact here! The sport Jai Alai that's been played all along the USA is a basque sport too. And not only in the USA, also in more countries around the world. Jai Alai means something like "Happy celebration" in euskera. Hope to see you soon around here!

[@HighMaintenancePS]

The best strength video I have seen. It left me emotional throughout. In this series we have our fingers on the pulse of the human spirit.

[@ultrabird106]

Thank you for making such a magnificent mini series on one of our traditional sports. This is what I call quality film making and of course sportsmanship! I hope to see you back soon and good luck on your next adventure

[@sagebauer1077]

Something really great about the production quality of this series is it feels like something I could show my friends or family that aren't strongman fans. Can't wait to see the episode with Janashia and Levan.

[@MartinsLicis]

Please do share it with them 😁 Thank you!!

[@Quehuevohtengo]

Thanks for all, Licis, from Euskal Herria. You will return, and not once, but many times. Whoever leaves here, repeats, for our culture, and of course, for our gastronomy. Many things bind you to this earth. You have captivated us, and I think we have captivated you too.

[@MartinsLicis]

🫶🙏 what a beautiful place and people!

[@FatDadLovesJesus]

It's like watching old school dragon ball, you're journey and adventure to find strength unknown. Like Goku and Krillin. Can't get enough of this

[@Galadir]

This stone lifting was one of the most entertaining strongman stuff i have ever seen. This definitely should take place in some great shows.

[@rayclark9643]

Martins lifting that 554 lb stone with the little training you put in was an incredible feat!

[@rolflin]

he is a beast and learn fast, but he needs more time to get the perfect technique and go for 301K As a basque i can only say WOW! Martins is awesome

[@chrism45]

And he's in the off-season during filming this, which is presumably at his weakest

[@chrisc7764]

@@rolflin I'm kinda torn on that... Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I understand the Basque are natty athletes and take pride in that. So seeing the record broken by an enhanced athlete wouldn't sit well with me

[@Michael20089]

​@Chris C its an interesting point, I wonder if some of the top athletes for this are on something.

[@chrisc7764]

@@Michael20089 my brain says "that's A LOT of weight, they MUST be on something" but my heart says these guys aren't. Hard to say. At the end of the day it's impressive regardless

[@President_Biglou]

WTH Martins & Romark?!! WHAT IN THE SORCERY TYPE OF EDITING AND SERIES IS THIS!! THIS IS THE BEST I SWEAR TO GOD! I'M SO OBSESSED!!!!

[@nostromo9081]

Martins chilling with a bunch of highly specialized stoners.

[@Barlou_Basque]

My great grand father is from the Basque county he travel to Saint Pierre et Miquelon and now every year the Basque festival every August . I was two time Basque champ in my home town with team Rustique .. I am big fan Martin love your video.

[@BM-ef2ph]

This man’s humility makes this channel what it is. Even when he spoke about being afraid and nervous. “Fear and nervousness always hit me hard when I compete…those feelings are nothing but energy to be turned to the task at hand…I am here to inspire. I am here to be strong. I am strength.” That’s a million dollar quote right there!!

[@sfyrisvasileios7799]

Amazing documentary, respect to the Basque people and Martins from Greece. The production value was great. Nothing more beautiful than people honoring their traditions with so much passion.

[@superfight4764]

Martins is honestly doing so much to push strongman and other similar strength sports to a wider audience. It's a whole ass subculture of it's own with history rooted in so many parts of the world. Honestly love this guy for all his effort. Dude brings so much personality, knowledge and strength to the table it's insane 🔥

[@TheChur]

Watching this series in the bath after my strongman training is one of the highlights of my week - never want it to end!

[@anthonyproffitt5341]

Thanks! This series makes me so happy. So well done, from the sights, sounds, back drops, to Martins soothing documentary voice. Epic places with epic strength. Thank you and look forward to the Georgia unknown strength.

[@valo3storm3]

This series is freaking amazing. You got that humbleness, tellersvoice, strength and everything needed dude. Thank you! Cheers to the tough people of Baskerland

[@itsbillcoop]

Something is really special about this series. During this videos I particularly enjoyed the humbling experience of starting to take the other peoples input and graciously putting it into practice. Love to see it ❤

[@lauramoralsanchez2908]

Thank you so much Martin and team for this beautiful and tasteful series about the strength, perseveration and humbleness of the Basque County's people. I'm sure that you have been well taken care of with plenty of food and and generous smiles! They are considered closed minded people but once you enter in their friendship circle you are all in. Congratulations! ❤

[@numbers7n]

They're just 'closed' to be colonized by culture from Madrid!! lol... Apart from that, they're just like everybody else who has their own culture!! Euskal Herria!!

[@billyoconnell6669]

Fantastic show with Fantastic people...love the basque spirit and their fight for independence...much respect from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@Quehuevohtengo]

The same admiration that we Basques feel for the Irish people. Resilience unites us.

What a brilliant upload. I've been watching WSM since 1977 & seen many strong man events, but this is new to me. Very much appreciated. Bless up bro 👊

[@AzureFan1]

Long time since I watched on this channel, but this video was incredible. Learned a new sport, learned that Basque were great at tug-of-war, learned that the production value of this video was above and beyond. Reminds me a lot of Rogue's strength sports video. Love it.

[@cesararias4633]

This is such an inspiring series! Thank you so much Martins and team, thank for sharing this with us!!! Very touched by this specific video! Much love from Barcelona!

Mesmerizing! So many amazing moments in this episode alone. I loved seeing the camaraderie of training, a chance opportunity to see the tug-of-war team, and the emotion of the competition. The little moments hit me as well. The excitement of the children when you answered them was a particular favorite of mine. I can't imagine how many other special sights and experiences couldn't make it to camera, but thank you guys so much for your effort in sharing what you can with us.
