Men's Timber Carry - Event 5 | Full Live Stream | 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic

Complete coverage of the Men's Timber Carry, the fifth and final event of the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic in Columbus, Ohio (March 4, 2023). In a time limit of 30 seconds, the competitors must move the heavyweight frame implement to the top of the ramp, relying on extreme grip strength and whatever they have left in their back and legs.
Mateusz Kieliszkowski has his sights on a third event win, but as Mitchell Hooper has calculated from the outset, a consistently good performance in a competition like this goes further than intermittently great performances. If Hooper can merely complete the challenge, a first Arnold Strongman Classic title is within the confident Canadian's reach.

Man if only Mateusz could get his deadlift up. It's cost him 2 ASC titles.

[@ImnotYu]

The deadlift and loglift really costs him, if he only lifted more than 2 in loglift and improve his deadlift more, he'll be probably be a threat to everyone. But, I think he's aiming for WSM 2023

[@budthecyborg4575]

As a guy who has never lifted more than 400lbs without straps I can sympathize with Trey Mitchel. As soon as I do push my grip on a regular basis my forearms quickly develop chronic pain, there is no shortcut to grip strength, and that's why all the world records in grip strength are held by guys in their 40's and 50's.

Pavlo is still raw and needs more time to develop techniques other than brute strength. Let's face it. He didn't beat guys like Thor, Brian, Martins, Novikov, etc. Next year when those guys turn up let's see how he does. If he beats them, then he's proved the haters wrong. If not he won against a weak lineup. But he beat what was on offer so congrats to him.

Hooper 💪🏻🍺

[@xZeroOffical]

At 30:38 you can hear people booing Hooper. Probably because a lot of people wanted Mateusz to win (including myself). And while I do not think scoring system is entirely fair, I do not think its OK towards the Hooper to boo him. He fought hard for that win, and he performed decent across all events. Mateusz in the other hand, underperformed both log and dead lift, which costed him a lot (due to scoring system).

[@xZeroOffical]

And Log is not even Mateusz weak event, it's because of his past injury that he could not perform as usual.

[@xZeroOffical]

Arnold strongman classic is more of dead lift competition. It is highly (over)valued, and it is not first time for Mateusz to fall to second place because of it.

As much as I like to see these events, the judging is terrible with rules being enforced so inconsistently. No athlete got punished for sliding the carry up the ramp. The lock-out on those deadlifts has been a joke in many instances (even worse in the women's), same for the log press. I don't want the judging to be as picky as in powerlifting but by these standards, it's punishing the athletes using somewhat strict form which cannot be good for the sport in the long term.
