Great video per usual. Nothing unusual about what happened outside of Eddie on the podium. With the amount of money at Rogue coming up, I bet we will see a different Tom like we did last year. Sadly I agree that unless Evan changes his mentality he is going continue to hurt himself and not really advance any further. The fact that Hicks ate too much and couldn't fit in his suit is either ignorant on his part or just another excuse.

Harsh but 100% fair. Evan is frustrating; just be an agent of your own emotions and calm it the fuck down for the sake of RESULTS!! Hicks... i agree. He knows full-well how much weight effects his suit fit and performance, he should be eating IDENTICAL to what he has at home, he peaked way to early and he needs to be honest about his lockout strength!

Keep up the great strongman content. I love how you both do not hold back your unbiased and honest opinions. It's great that you are not afraid to speak up without worrying about upsetting big name sponsors or athletes. It is the best way to get strongman competitions and many of the current athletes improve. Your advice to Tom was spot on. Many may criticize Thor but his comeback approach is going well by not diluting his legacy and giving his body time to heal appropriately.

I flew out to Vegas to see this show. After having also attended SMOE, I felt this show was very lackluster especially when comparing the audience/energy between the two. I really hope Giants Live gives it another shot in the US and markets it better this time around. Personally, I felt that the athletes I was most excited to see didn't come as prepared as they should have (Tom as you guys mentioned, Biby and Oleksii pulling out early, Hicks' failed deadlift attempts) its always a blast being able to watch these guys, so id love to see them compete wholeheartedly in a full show

I hope Tom is going to turn it around. He put out a video after the shaw classic talking about how professional guys like Hooper and Thor are with their eating and prep. Meanwhile as soon as Tom's plane lands he heads to the store to buy a 10 lb bag of gummy bears, a lifetime supply of chips, and a bunch of greasy fast food. Seriously watching the way he eats before a contest (particularly in america) I'm surprised he can even compete at all. But it sounds like he has identified it as being an issue so hopefully he starts taking his diet more seriously.

We support all of the athletes, at every event. We have alot of respect for all they put themselves through, for our entertainment. That being said, if they don't show up to perform, we can all tell. So, if they don't want to show up, and hold back for other events, it grinds my gears. Just don't go, give someone else the show, swagger into the ones you train to win, and hope you do. Exposure for the free vacation and youtube/brand content doesn't matter, when you prove you're not interested. That being said, being a 1 trick pony only works for so long.

@Bigramt
@Bigramt Ай бұрын
He was fast off the floor the entire training cycle, but his lockout wasn't convincing. Eddie hall was extremely focused on speed on his build up too, but Eddie was stronger I thought Graham had a good chance until he dropped the 450x2 video. Now 450x2 is absolutely insane, but it was slow on lockout for the second rep. He said he had another rep or 2 I'm the tank. Imo didn't look like it Another video if 465 was posted a few weeks back and he badly struggled at lockout Hafthor is extremely strong at lockout. Before he became a complete deadlift monster, I remember him fighting hard to complete 450 at a deadlift championships. Once the lift got close to knees, he had the size, power and fight to keep it moving. I do think he is right the only guy truly capable, unless mitch really makes it a priority, I think he may have a chance Graham and Ivan will never pull 500 plus.

He just doesn’t have it I’m sorry if that sounds cold but it’s just an observable fact.

The only person who can do it is Thor , Pavlo or Trey with a suit. I only see Hoopers max about 490 . Don't be fooled with teaser . People forgot Hooper already had a 475 deadlift when he just came and was actually training for 505 but didn't have it in him. Listen most great deadlifts peak around 490 and anything over is a different game where it takes time to increase by only one kg

@@ChatgptEnginedisagre. Hooper got 475 when he was training only for deadlift and log - not 2547372 other strongman events ;). Then when he fully comitted Himself to Strongman he started to do other events and because of that his deadlift level dropped. Competing that much, training all the events, doing a lot of social media and still get 505 from the floor - I think it is definietely possible for him in the future. He looks better than most of the guys attempting 505 so far, including Pablo, Makarov etc. and he was not training for that 😅. Obviously Thor is stronger and he has the best chance. But who you consider second best strongman deadlifter on the planet right now? Hooper is not the worst pic in my opinion…Makarov is strong, Rauno, but Hooper is in the same area possible…but I agree that it would not be easy and I doubt that Mitchel will focus only on one lift for a couple months ;) P.S. Trey 470 without the suit 😮😮😮😮😮 that was impressive. I m curious right now what he can do 😮

Thoughts: a) People is right saying Thor is the only one right now capable of breaking his record (emphasis on right now, meaning the present folks). The ball is no longer on GL's park, and is up to anybody to challenge the atlethes to a new deadlift. Maybe Rogue at the Arnold's, maybe SCL, who knows. b) Trey and Mitch show hope for the future though. Trey hates suits, so there is that, but Mitch has a better crack in oposition to Rauno, Ivan, Pehiman and Etc. However, let's not get too excited too, 'member Motch has been in that territory before, the reason he got into the strongman pro circuit was his 475KG deadlift and it baffles mes people forget how good he was already when he got in and specially his dl was theough the roof already. What goves hope is Mitch's planning ahead and brain, in fact, the best 470 this year was Rauno, can be seen from a side angle though, from the front Mitc was faster, but his lock was alread ify. c) Maksrov should take a rest a rethink what he is doing if he ever plans on trying again. d) Tom is on ramsom from GL and WSM lol. He wouldn't do this shows if he hadn't a deal with them, this is known. He is indeed disappointing and at this point it hurts. e) There was nothing from Hicks camp training leading to the championship that looked like he would get 500+. In fact, non of the 500 attempts even looled like it, yes that includes the Mitche's, i said there is hope in them, but all them look like 2 tiers bellowe what is needed f) The Lalas brothers rule. So honest guys.

Thanks for your input on strongman shows and making these videos post competition. IMO your analysis is spot on regarding the athletes and it’s also similar to Hooper’s post show review. At the end of the day it’s up to Giants Live and Rogue to deliver in terms selecting better athletes and events. The wrecking ball hold just doesn’t cut it IMO. Trey Mitchell’s deadlift was the highlight for me as well as Austin Andrade attempt. Hooper and his coach are really putting themselves in another category and Hooper is cementing himself as superior as he goes for additional world records and keeps winning. I suspect we see more from Thor and his coach as well as Trey and his coach in 2025. That’s a great lineup in any show with Lucas Hatton, Austin Andrade, Tristin Hoath, Andrei Foujtu, Eddie Williams and Mateusz bringing the heat. For a future video could you discuss what a proper strongman season is or would be if you were competing and how an athlete would/could prepare to prep and compete in the big three Arnold/WSM/SMOE as well as a GL event? Realistically Hooper has figured it out and I believe Thor has said 4 shows a year are his focus. I don’t consider Rogue to be worthy of following or watching for several reasons. I’m hoping the MVM Classic takes their spot as the big 4 and Rogue and Giants Live clean up their act.

Now, I'm a incredibly weak deadlifter compared to these guys, but I'm always confused why lockout is SUCH a huge issue for these lifters. They all seem to have great speed off the floor then just falter once its over the knees. When I deadlift, if it gets past the knees the lockout is a piece of cake. You have so much more leverage in the top half of the lift, it really seems like it should be the easy part. Is it just the suit? Is it because strongmen just have absolutely massive quads? is it just something that naturally happens once you cross the ~900lb mark?
@LalasBrothers
@LalasBrothers Ай бұрын
With deadlifting in can be very hard to explain because everybody has there own weakness and strengths when it comes to it, everybody also has there own comfortable style, lifts might all look the same but hip height, foot position, foot orientation and hand position are all slightly different, some people are just better at locking out while others can be really impressive off the floor The suits allow for a lot of compression like a coiled spring, but can make it tough to get into your favourable deadlift position

I do agree that he needs to be able to show up if he comes to a comp. His reputation is important and this comp hasn’t done him any favours.

Vytulas should be an official commentator, his knowledge is spot on. Disappointing for Graham, apparently he put on weight and his suit was too tight, even still he should have been able to pull the 470. Trey Mitchell was awesome 470 raw. Well done to Eddie Williams.

Hicks looks like he passed out. Also as noted, struggling at lockout and it looks like this is because he is way out of position (too far forward) past the knees. The extra bulk has diminishing returns. It forces you out of position and likely restricts blood flow and oxygen which contributes to the passing out.

Tom had sciatica for this. Have a look at Mitch's 505 attempt too. He held his form better than anyone who's attempted it before, it was actually still going up when he put it down. I honestly think he surprised himself, he just wanted to feel the weight but if he'd been ready to grind, he might have had it. Never would have guessed that before hand. If he trains for it next year and doesn't get injured, he'll get it. Frankly, Graham and Ivan already should have though. If somebody had got 505kg, I still think Trey's deadlift might be more impressive. Especially with him coming back from injury and having lifted way less than that in competition just a few months ago. 470kg with no suit puts him as a problem for Thor on the elephant bar in next year's Arnolds.

For Tom, I think he was being paid by Giants Live to just show up. The marketing was calling it "Hooper vs Stoltman is on", I think Tom was just after an easy paycheck and once he did the bare minimum to get it he pulled out. Even if is a good move for him personally, it really is unbecoming of a professional athlete who people pay money to see, and bad for the sport overall.

Genetically Mitch has insane potential in almost every lift. If he bulked up the way Eddie did back in the day, he could definitely get the 505. But he likely won't do that since it would mess up his athleticism and longevity. He's in this sport to dominate for a long time, pretty much the opposite of Eddie's short peak.

Graham said he gained 6 kg from the trip to the time to lift. Something about his diet and such destroyed his ability to fit in the suit, and also a misgroove. It was all him. He also said as soon as he realized the suit was way too tight, his psyche crashed. He wasn't 100% confident anymore. Tom was also dealing (still somehow) with sciatica and pulled out. Evan tweaked his back and pulled out before he fully injured himself. A smart move if done sparsely, but this is his 2nd show in a row where that's happening.

I completely agree about Mitch. Within 2 years of entering strongman he started to dominate it. He is always pushing himself and still has potential. To step up to 505kg for fun and out perform the dedicated lifters is embarrassing. Tom would not have won WSM 24 if Mitch didn't scuff his hands up. While Mitch is competing, Tom is never going to win another WSM. The Tom Mitch rivalry is dead. Makarov, Hicks, Rauno are never going to lift 505kg. Their not good enough. I'm no Mitch fanboy but he is going to the best strongman of all time unless he gets injured. 6x WSM, a 500+lift, longest podium streak etc. No one is on his level.

Trey looked excellent obviously but it was also nice to see Luke back and doing pretty well for his first comp back. I was surprised maybe Bobby Thompson didn't get a go, he looked good at Shaw's and his deadlift is decent!

I was thinking he had the best shot at it, but not tracking your food for a week, american food which is useually loaded with waaaay too much fat. Loved seeing Trey and Eddie on the podium.
