Rogue Invitational Recap!

[@strongman.beardy]

Chin up Luke. You're being hard on yourself. Everyone has an off day. You're Europe's Strongest F**king Man! 💪💪💪

[@Outland9000]

He's got plenty of time to work on deadlift and dumbells now. No doubt he will be like a man possessed at WSM next year.

[@leonardowilhelm1029]

I'm not even sure I'd call it an "off day". Had he completed his third log lift at the pace he was, which was clearly slower and shakier than his usual, he would have taken 2nd place in the medley. He did excellent at the Wheel of Pain. He simply looked tired. We all know why he was tired. Had he not been knackered, I suspect he would have lifted the 274 and 280 dumbbells, and would have deadlifted around 900 lbs. I suspect he would have got the 400 lb inver stone too, maybe even all 5.

[@the_snowball3718]

@@leonardowilhelm1029 Not even on a good day Luke can pull 900lbs , his limit is probably around 870-880lbs.

[@AlasdairThompson]

I think Luke needs to widen his grip slightly on the deadlift.... literally just an inch or so on each hand. It might make it a bit harder off the floor but should eliminate that "shrugging" at the end.

[@adb918]

A week between comps is not enough time to recover, Toms a wee bit younger. You need to sort that bicep out and get in the lake.

[@blugi3]

Love how humble Tom is at losing to Licis. Can’t wait to see these two go head to head next year at WSM.

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

He was the first athlete to hug and congratulate him as well

[@xinsanedefeatx]

He looked blown away yet happy for Martins after that insane stone run he had. I think he just had to respect Martins coming back after being off for so long and beating the king of stones at his own game

[@yms6892]

Licis is a force to be reckoned with

[@koroxus]

It was a great comp, rogue knows what they're doing and they put on a good show.

[@ClubRugbyWales]

They really do, this was a fantastic show.

[@MrGonzonator]

So many great spectacles from the event: JF showing his stretchy arms on the deadlift, Novikov obliterating the dumbells, the enormous Wheel of pain, Kieliszkowski one motioning the log, and finally that unbelievable stone-off. Great show, great advert for the sport.

[@caleb9398]

Wish Trey and Evan would have been invited after having such a strong year. Next year I’m sure they’ll be on the list. I truly think we are entering the golden era of strongman

[@tyronengatai355]

Would have been disrespectful to the original invites from 2020 if they replaced them with Trey and Evan. Next year they'll be there for sure.

[@lulzywizard7576]

@@tyronengatai355 would have probably been cool to add them in and make it 12 instead of 10, but they also had a tight schedule to keep sooooo

[@tyronengatai355]

@@lulzywizard7576 Yeah but then if you add those two, you'd have to add others aswell who have had a good showing in 2021 such as Maxime for coming 3rd at WSM. Gets too tricky, hence sticking with original roster for fairness to those who performed well in 2020. Plus the prize money would be stretched out further if adding more than 10 guys, which I'm sure those original 10 wouldn't be too happy about.

[@charlied8355]

Congratulation on an amazing competition for you both! Just wanted to throw my "KZbin Comment Expert" advice in, but on the stones, you can see the savvy/tricks that Martins used that Tom didn't. First, he had a massive belt on which stuck out enough that the squarish stones sat on the edge and allowed him to fire it up without much adjustment, he also took the time to really wipe down all the stones to remove any residue or moisture. Tom did the event 'clean' without a belt and was more relying on his technique and brute strength, were as Martins ha this little advantage. Just something to think about. There's a lot of these 'veteran' tricks and techniques that people are using that aren't being done, partly why Brian Shaw was able to run Tom so close in the WSM, something to consider adding in to your prep before events as they can make a massive difference as shown. Again, huge congrats on all your success this year, not saying you have done anything wrong, just the standards you continue to set could be even higher. Amazing work lads.

[@deepee21104]

spot on....he olso lost vital seconds dabing arms with the tacky towel......food for thought gents.......huge respect to strongmen around the globe......2022 is going to be ....savage......

[@hassanzafar6697]

He was also faster on the transitions between stones

[@charlied8355]

@@hassanzafar6697 yeah definitely! His stone run was incredible, i think in my original comment i made it sound like he cheated etc his run was amazing and he’s a brilliant strongman, just noting some of the things he did that Tom didn’t

[@brockmeade4450]

Also Martins trained with the tacky towel too in his training.

[@tommyboyuruguay]

Hey Stoltman's... I'm here from Yes Theory. Loved what you guys did together, but especially loved the kind of people you seem to be, the example you set for people who might need guidance and help to overcome problems or disabilities, and how inspiring your kindness is as well as your dedication to be the best at what you do. Much love and respect to you both, and you have gained a new subscriber and fan. Cheers mates!

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Martins on his comeback was great .It was good to see how well you got on with him and Romark. Well done Tom, hope Luke recovers fully. 2022 wil be an exciting time for you both.

[@leonardowilhelm1029]

I do hope to see Luke win a WSM, and I want Kieliskowski to win one too, and JF Caron too! After that, they can ALL battle it out for multiple title wins.

[@jamesposner7999]

Tom seems very good at seeing the little details of each event and then sussing out a clever game plan

[@bur2576]

That story from Tom on the DB press...it's so freaking awesome to hear him so shocked when he realizes how much potential he had and how good he can be. People keep saying it but his personality is freaking awesome now that he is believing what everyone's been telling him

[@donrodrigovil09]

Luke, you are great, chisel that in your mind! Next year is for you. Tom, stay great you showed the world that you cannot be matched, even after a comp one week prior you made it to second, its crazy. Congrats to both, also congrats to Simon for such good work on the videos.

[@crazycjk]

It was SUCH a good event, fantastic competitor list, FREE on youtube!? Big Loz commentating. I mean, what more could you ask for. You spicy boys did fantastic 🌶️

[@AlasdairThompson]

Yes. Exactly. All these Giants Live events etc, I've been watching highlights and scores updates. To have the whole event live was awesome.

[@iMertin90]

Tom stop doubtin man. You won the top prize in the sport so any category is yours

[@smuir6104]

So far this was my favorite competition ever. I love that we, the fans, were included with the livestream, it was cool to see the cross fit mixed in, great way to spread it out and still keep the live stream going. Luke can't wait to see your shoulder all the way healed, then you need to prove them all wrong and win the WSM!!! I for one see it in you.

[@jjoonjj714]

loving the music used in the video, finally someone uses something rather than those basic same olds which I hear on every youtube channel

[@awesammee9695]

i just watched your vlog with Yes Theory! You're both an inspiration! keep it up! salute all the way from the Philippines!

[@bearcenteno3223]

These intros with the explanations and talkin about these athletes is beautiful. You two next to Martins are the ones I look to in the sport not just for your strength physically, mentally, but also socially. You push a positive attitude without turning into just another dwayne johnson. You push the positivity through your action and interactions. Not just talk. All love boys!!! LETS GET EM!! 2022 another big year for the Stoltmans!!!

[@christopherhunt6463]

Don't beat yourself up Luke. We're still very proud of you. Hey your deadlift form was awesome. I'm impressed with how much Tom has matured and learned as a Strongman. Tom is going to be just fine. Luke I want to see YOU win WSM 2022. You have the strength. I saw Martin Licis and Oleski both training specifically for the Rogue. As a veteran POWERLIFTER and trainer can I suggest making EVERY WORKOUT more "EVENT-CENTERED"? That's the approach Hafthor, Licis, Mateaus and Oleski take. Luke I don't mean any disrespect to Dan but I think he's not the best trainer for you. You need a trainer/coach who is more PRESENT AT EVERY WORKOUT and who can help you with your form and technique. LUKE YOU'VE DONE AN AWESOME JOB TRAINING TOM. NOW YOU NEED A "HANDS ON" TRAINER/COACH TO HELP YOU WIN AT THE WORLD LEVEL. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT. GOOD LUCK.

[@altaris2000]

I live 5min from the stadium. Glad to have you guys here in Texas, and hope to see you again in the future.

Tom is so happy in front of the camera! :D

[@jacksarebetter]

It was good to see you both there. I was there in person and really enjoyed getting to see you guys doing your warm ups and interacting with everyone. When I saw Tom I thought to myself he was maybe feeling a wee bit tired from just coming off of Britians but man did he hail the mail. He just doesn't have a bad day. I am so amazed and what a treat it was to see that performance especially in the last event.

[@24RuLeS24RuLeS]

One of the best strongman shows i've ever watched. Awesome performances and big congrats to Martins and Tom, it'll be very exciting to see what happens at WSM 2022. You both are 100% class 🌶

Tom got so much slack for his interview after the Rogue but people forget it's a competition no matter if behind doors it's a family environment. The Stoltmans are true athletes and competitors and this video is another proof and reason why we love the Spicy Stoltmans. Looking forward to a big 2022 of strongman competitions!!!

Guys, watch Oleskii's technique on the the 300 one. He drops his body SO low. He doesn't press it up, he bumps it up with a full body motion, drops underneath it and catches it with a straight arm. Awesome.

The love and respect you guys have for each other is great to see. That is why this is my favourite sport and also why it’s impossible to begrudge My 4 standout performances for the comp were, Oleksii’s dumbbell medley, Kieliszkowski, one motioning the log, Tom’s wheel of pain and of course Martins stone run was an awesome climax to the event and the overall result was the best return to competition that he could have hoped for.

[@reyniercampher3815]

Those two brothers won 3 out of the 5 competitions that they did this year and collected 5 podium spots between them. I believe the world's ultimate strongman comp was the only one where they didn't podium

Big end to a gruelling season guys and so soon after BSM - big performance from Tom taking it to the last event. Unlucky how it ended up where essentially nobody could get between Tom & Martins - obz Martins smashed it, but before that Tom knows in his head its over essentially - strange position to be in as a competitor ill bet! Maybe stones could've been a Vs race like regular stones? Unlucky too Luke - watching the dumbell did look like the shoulder was causing an issue. Still an amazing season for both of you - some well earned rest and back for a huge, SPICY 2022! 🌶🌶

[@bearcenteno3223]

Boys, very curious your thought on a “raw” strongman meet? If you organized a meet no straps or wraps allowed, only belts… would that be a WILD show? I feel seeing the “realistic” lifts that athlete could get without suits etc would be intriguing. Stuff the records and insanely high weight lifts, what about events that test the raw strength of each athlete? Its been on my mind. Safety is key though. Don’t want to see injuries ever

[@paddathehutt]

I'd love to see this. I can't get enough of strongman as it is, I'd really prefer to see it all raw.

[@kristofevo]

Well done both of you, good earnings for you both, good publicity, so a win, win👍🏻💪🏻 Like most of us “experts” in the comments section, heres my take on it🤣 I think Luke’s recovery, being 10 years older than Tom, is obviously not as good, hence the lack of pop in some of the events, but as ever, you never gave up.To compete in Brits a few days before and then fly for around 2 days is really hard on the body.Don’t be disappointed, mate, you can take positives from it and can also learn from it and concentrate on your shoulder and bicep rehab over the winter. As for Tom, i personally think this is one of your best performances of any comp iv seen you in! I really didn’t think you would place this highly, as you had just won the Brits and like i said, the ridiculous travelling and jet lag is not easy to deal with, as anyone who flies long distance will know! You confirmed what i thought about the stones, you didn’t seem to be going for it as hard as you normally do, and i thought you didn’t as you didn’t think you could win it overall. Still though, an amazing performance on a lot of events that you’ve never done before.Very, very impressive. Enjoy your rest time and I’m really looking forward to seeing you both rested and recovered next year. Its been a great 2021.....Worlds strongest man and Europe’s strongest man😎💪🏻

Really enjoyed this video, great format, nice overview of the contest

[@dan64740]

I will say this about the rogue invitational you both performed excellently from coming off a good competition a week earlier Tom obviously is the world’s strongest man so he needed to put on a great show and he did just that, I think in the back of his brain he doesn’t want to let everyone around him down so puts everything in to anything he does, it’s nice to see someone as passionate as Tom, but then there’s Luke a very dedicated person who having an opportunity to be a full time strongman has taken that opportunity and made the very best out of it and the results speak for themselves,however there is a small clock in the background telling him your getting close to peeking in age where it really matters (and I don’t mean that in any negative way I like to watch both the lads do well) but we have to be realistic yes you could potentially go on in strongman for a very long time and I hope you do but in the now you are in the best stages of your career winning shows getting big titles and I believe that with the best prep and concentration for wsm Luke will be a wsm winner in the next couple of years, you both have the best team around you and everyone that follows you all want you to do the best you possibly can and show the world what the name STOLTMAN is keep on being who you are you have respect and admiration from a lot of people keep on keeping on 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
