INSANE Feats-of-Strength

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

As Giants Live starts its 13th year of being the 'World's Strongest Man Qualifying Tour' - which of these strengths feats is your favourite? AND what events and records are we making a mistake ignoring them. Let us know what we should be doing at Giants Live Events and what might look awesome or what events would be really worthy of considering at these big shows. Thanks massively for any written replies and do please 'like and subscribe' to the channel. Many thanks.

Bavarian Stone Lift, Boat Pull and Fingal Fingers

[@gabrielpichorim8191]

Have you ever considered a moving event for max? Static events could be for reps on the same show to avoid to much pressure on the athletes and then injuries. Think about it this way, small distance, say about 4 or 5 meters. The athlete chooses the weight and has to carry it in their hands/back without dropping for a "good lift", if they succeed the weight goes up like a rising bar event, distance is the tie breaker for same weight, and time would be out of the equation so they don't have to rush and something goes wrong. This would be great for farmers, frame and yoke, but if you want to go crazy use a tow bar to add the 4th, 5th, maybe 6th truck in a truck pull for max event. I think Giants Live team is very smart when choosing events, and idk how dangerous moving events for max would be, but I think it is at least a worth discussing idea. I hope you consider it.

[@sencercetinkaya5618]

@@gabrielpichorim8191 But there still have to be a time limitation (even if they would only use distance as a tie breaker) because otherwise they can wait as much as they want.

Yeah that was an incredible spectacle. People said the 500kg would never be seen in his generation. They said it was impossible. What he did was astounding. I think people forget that he didn't just beat the record by 2kg, 5kg or even 10kg - he beat it by 36kg!! That lift set a standard that had never been seen before. It was in a different league, and wasn't an incremental, tiny increase - he annihilated the record by a huge margin.
