Men's Austrian Oak Log Press - Event 2 | Full Live Stream | 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic

Complete coverage of the Austrian Oak, Event 2 from the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic in Columbus, Ohio (March 3, 2023). In this challenge, each competitor gets one shot for max reps on the famed 430 LB log bar, and then a second run at a "lighter" 385 LB log.
Coming off great showings in the Wheel of Pain earlier in the day, Trey Mitchell and Mitchell Hooper kept the momentum going in this final event of Day One, while Bobby Thompson and Rob Kearney turned around their slow starts by leapfrogging back into the mix.

Thank you for putting this on KZbin you guys are killing wsm

[@Catchyalater_Fishing_Co]

giants live and wsm are garbage compared to what rouge is doing for the sport

[@adamrojas9235]

Can i ask, what is wrong with WSM? I genuinely dont know. I always thought it was THE competition that most strongman try to get to?

[@aaronpedigo987]

It's a dope competition for sure they don't air it till way after the show not easy to access they should put it on KZbin sure they would make a lot because a lot of people would be stoked to see it there on some bullshit

[@adamrojas9235]

@@aaronpedigo987 ohhh that makes sense. Honestly, i agree. I always hear about WSM but could never find videos of it. I do wish they would put it on KZbin at least. Thanks for explaining that, I appreciate it!

[@petershortland478]

​@CatchYaLater Fishing that's because GL is part of official strongman, WSM is to do with the cost, it costs more apparently to put together the event

[@Nooneehh]

Super rough for mateusz you can tell hes holding back. doesnt wanna risk reinjurying that Tricep

[@Kragatar]

Luke going nuts on the light log was such a great ending. Having a good time and putting on a good performance is what it's all about.

[@thedon9670]

Mr Showman!

[@sebasof3080]

So weird to see Luke struggling in the log

[@ivan_9386]

Big pause from lifting and he's little older. I just hope he prepares properly for the next year.

[@Hbfb4]

Loz improves the commentary by 10 fold. So knowledgeable and intume with each competitor

[@thenaturalalpha]

The event organizers should have put the pure strength (log lift) event first. The wheel of pain, which they did just before this is essentially an overhead and leg burnout! I'm still grateful for being able to watch this for free though! Great job to the athletes.

[@EpicwinFTW27]

@@SvenTheShoeBuyer personally I think wheel of pain should be the last event overall. Let's see who can truly push through that unbearable pain and endure long enough to pull out a victory after a long competition

[@barath4545]

Mitchell's 3rd is right out of the clean and press book from the 1970-1972 book there! Awesome lift!

[@littlelogan]

Enjoying having Jerry Pritchett on commentary! Looks great at the table too.

[@MightyMax2756]

Love Jerry’s commentating. He’s one of the most experienced Arnold’s strongman classic competitors of all time. He knows his stuff and his cadence great. I never would have caught some of the things he is pointing out. I hope he continues doing it for many years to come. Love seeing the other strongmen involved that aren’t actually competing

[@ObiAmajoyiSrMD]

Production quality is unbelievable

[@mikemoore2791]

That new guy who won the amatuers, did awesome. I mean, they talk about wasted energy on a failed attempt. The second attempt was smooth. Great lift.

[@piuforte]

205 kg × 4 by Z will never be broken.

[@markadler8968]

He is the strongest human ever born off of the shoulders and one of the strongest ever in everything else

[@MairtinMcNamara]

Trey Mitchell!!! What a dominant performance. He made those four look easy - he had 5 in him if he had to. I'm convinced.

[@LTSDK1]

Luke Stoltman giving the crowd what they came for, but wauw Trey Mitchell now thats amazing.

[@TokyoSwan.]

Gotta think the poor performances on this event had something to do with the wheel being the event prior.. maybe the guys burned their shoulders out.

[@staceygram5555]

And legs.

[@tayloriousmaximus]

It would have more been the legs and just the lungs. Can't get as good a breathe, can't get as get as good a leg drive which is just way too important.

[@Lee-ic2yn]

The fact that zydrunas is still so far ahead on this even is crazy

[@SilentTaljiGaming]

It is crazy that they removed 450lbs , cause no one can lift it except Big Z

[@Adam-cs3ld]

​@@SilentTaljiGamingIn fairness it has been lifted by other lifters but Z was the only one to rep it.

[@mrberry2603]

does anybody know why iron biby never competes anymore?

[@beyblademc123]

thanks for uploading

[@KillianDefaoite]

Trey is such a monster

[@Kragatar]

That log seems to have a curse on it. Last year I was rooting for JF Caron and he got a career-ending injury on it, this year I was rooting for Luke Stoltman and he got so dizzy he couldn't even make one rep.

Aaargh, Luke. God damn, he just doesn't have the luck on the day. Real bad order of events too - wheel of pain shouldn't be the opener for the whole event.

[@4bangerlove]

Trey killed this one even more

[@geebutteree4755]

Gutted for Luke 😢

[@mikemoore2791]

Polish terminator not quite there. 😣 maybe its mental. Im certainly not anywhere near this level, but i hurt my back deadlifting. Spent the night on the floor. Spasms with the slightest movement. But the mental toll.... it took me almost an entire year to even attempt a deadlift. I did trapbar deads to go easy on my back. After another 6 months, my mind clicked over to positivity. Years later, and i was getting quite strong and then bam covid. No gym. Now, aftee covid ive hit a 160kg pull, 170kg off blocks and a 200kg rack pull at 78kg bw. Lighter and stronger than before. The body heals, but the mental battle takes longer.

[@tigershark987]

wheel of pain should not have been first imo

[@thestrongseminarian]

Anyone watching this getting ready for this weekend? Btw, Loz was wrong about Zydrunas. Big Z lifted this log at 205 kg for 4 reps.

I don't understand why the organizers put the WOP ahead of the log, that baffles me, as well as the guys im sure.

Lol luke is just happy to get paid to train for WSM. But seriously hate when they start a day with a for distance event that kills performance for the rest of the day.

[@LyricTenor85]

Oh stop your incoherent babbling. Nobody's buying your B.S.

[@georgesmelki1]

Who decided that 10 reps with 385 lbs are equivalent to 430 lbs?This is totally unfair! According to the "One Rep Max" formula, 10 reps with 325 are equivalent to one with 430! So 5 reps with 385 should count as one with 430...

[@tuant9999]

Luke is still the best man for this Austrian Oak Log Press event. 6 good lifts in 90 seconds and he is 2 lifts more than Trey.. They should only organise one event each day so the men can recover and perform their best for the next event..

[@Markymark1993]

I think trey will win the whole thing and mitchel will come in second. As for who’s gonna be third I have no idea.

Didn't work out that way.

This guys are obviously top level athletes and the best at what they do, but I feel like Eddie or Big Z in their prime would've dominated the competition. Thor is gonna have an easy run next year...Pavlo is still young and has room to improve...

[@possiblepilotdeviation5791]

I agree. Big Z did four reps on the Austrian Oak at a heavier weight (451 lbs vs 430 lbs).
