TOP 10 STRONGMEN OF 2024 | STRONGMAN RANKING

[@partalanpartridge1655]

"The 2024 strongman season is over!" And how do we know this? Loz has got hairy arms again.

Strongman who appeared before the largest tv audience? Gav Bilton.

This list is spot on! Very impressed with Thor coming back from a strongman layoff and doing so well in his 2024 return

[@triggerjim13]

I know it's an insane amount of work, but I really liked Liz's points based system she used in the past. But, I enjoyed seeing the fans votes represented here.

[@ianpettit1968]

Very fair ranking for this year but im very excited to see big tom next year as he's looking great with the work he's doing with his new coach. Think we are going to see a new more mobile and confident tom going forward . Great work loz and liz !

[@sammcclure1553]

There are going to be several superchats/member comments on the next live making Liz say, "Tidbits".

[@tcgtpl]

2025 is lining up to being an incredibly exciting year for Strongman. I hope there are a multiple different winners at the top shows instead of just being the Tom, Mitch, and Hafthor show.

[@wanderer_oti]

More like the Mitch show lol. It would be nice to see Trey get some wins. I think 2025 will be massive for him

[@thomasrosendahl2783]

Tom is not in the same tier as Hafthor and Mitch, otherwise Tom would have other titles than wsm. Also he only won against second rate strongmen

[@mortgagetoday5679]

Tom is physically stronger than Mitch but Hooper is an absolute brainiac. He studies and masters his technic, has an in depth understanding of nutrition and how it influences his training, his cardio is second to none and he is infinitely adaptable. Thor has amazing genetics and enormous experience. Tom's achievements cannot be overstated for a man that has overcome personal challenges to make it to the top of the sport. I look forward to Tom stepping it up with a new trainer that understands Tom mentally as well as physically.

[@thomasrosendahl2783]

@@mortgagetoday5679 If Tom is so strong, how come he currently only have 1 out 4 title wins? If I have to spell it out, the 4 major competitions are strongest man on earth, Arnold Classic, Rogue Invitational and world strongest man which is the only titles Tom have. Colin Bryce also plays a role in favoring British strongmen like in 2017 with Eddie Hall.

[@cashman61068]

Brand new to this channel and subbed imediately,all the info i need, love your content LOZ 😃😃😃

[@daltonmason62]

Austin Andrade and Lucas Hatton both were amazing to watch at SMOE... I still say Austin locked out that 470, and he didn't drop the bar, so it should've counted

[@narcodico]

He just swapped axis on the down signal.

[@brockmeade4450]

He probably mixes up axle deadlifts with axis deadlifts all the time

[@elvikingobarbaroja]

Tom with a new coach, Thor with his pressing slowly improving... Mitch is going to have to be on his A game next year! It won't be a cruise like he says this year has been.

[@nigeltrigger4499]

Mitch has a Degree in human kinetics from the University of Guelph and a masters in clinical exercise physiology from the University of Sydney. Thor is just tall.

[@NARushton]

Eddie Williams had a pretty good year too

[@kanedelaney7645]

Would have put him above max tbh, though close

[@1milliondogs]

I think 3rd is a fair place for Hathor to be right now. I think he will be statically as strong as he has ever been, however, I suspect he has lost a few percentage points of mobilty in his years off. I think 2025 will be a big test for him. We all know Tom and Mitch will be super hungry for more titles.

[@cisrael468]

Thor won/placed high on a lot of moving events this year, and his time off included a run at boxing so I don’t think mobility is a big issue. IMO this year will come down to how much of his pressing he’s gotten back

[@1milliondogs]

@cisrael468 yeah that's a fair point. And I think he has done amazingly to.come back so strong in such a short space of time. It's a testament to his hard work and genetic gift. I do however feel like he has lost a bit of that explosive power off the floor.

[@MollymaukT]

He did hit PRs in the timber-carry and dinnie stones in ASC, so his mobility might be improving slightly

[@thomasrosendahl2783]

@@1milliondogs Tom still makes too many mistakes, he's 30 now not some inexperienced newbie anymore.

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

Good to see Lucas on there. Strong AF and a quality bloke.

[@CraigMayhem]

Luke burned it all down so I don't know if we'll see him in comps any time soon. I'm glad Tom is carrying their channel now because Luke's actions threaten not just his career but his family's business as well. An amazing example of selfishness. Tom is still may favorite competitor because I am also Autistic and it looks like he's making the best of it and having a good time with his new coach despite the turmoil. Luke might need some time back on the oil rig to really punctuate what he threw away.

[@MR-ly4xt]

Totally agree that Luke has damaged the Stoltman brand, I can only imagine how many cancelled sales they must have had for their merch. I can still support him as a strongman in competitions, but if he does return to social media, I hope he doesn't put anything other than training videos out from now on. I don't want to see anything else from him.

[@cisrael468]

It’s weird because normally I’d say unless you did something violent or illegal, personal matters shouldn’t affect show invites. With Luke however, I doubt he’d have been invited to certain shows (like Rogue) if it weren’t for his branding and reputation. If being liked by fans gets you invites, then maybe being hated should make you lose them

[@magnitorfasson9238]

[@douglasnisbet1189]

[@Bmxae]

Great list.

[@Eparker09]

Has there been heavy squats in any of Tom WSM wins? Toms relationship with the squat is like the Terminater relationship with the deadlift.

[@danielgoh2444]

Maybe that's why they took out hercules hold, squats, max deadlift and max log press from WSM 🤭

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

One type of kinda objective measure for such comparison just came to my mind: You add up the placings at international competitions for an athlete in the current year; whoever has lower number places higher on the list. Even more accurate if done with placings at individual events on international competitions. As a tiebreaker, the importance of the comps can be used.

[@allylilith5605]

that system would put tom first if he only did WSM. It would need to be adapted a lot to reward, rather than punish people who do a lot of shows, but also not reward that much, that joining lower level international shows boosts the stats unreasonably

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

@allylilith5605 You're right, I made a mistake. We can add up the inverse of the placings for an athlete for each event at international comp. I mean the total number of athletes in that comp, minus the placing of the athlete in question on an event. And then we'll compare the athletes by the highest score and not the lowest.

[@ElReyGarcia11]

I’m surprised Bobby Thompson was not even in top 15. I would have him around #10 and also Matt Ragg in the top 10. Then I would put Luke Stoltman outside of it and Maxime just outside of it

The fact that Maxime is in the top 10 best of the year proves Mitch’s point that the competitive pool needs to up their game. Right now it’s just Mitch in his own solar system, then like Thor (jacked up chest/shoulder and all)/Tom, then everyone else pretty much. Lots of dudes injured also and seemingly canny get fully healthy again, which is horrible to see and I feel for them cause I know the feeling all to well and wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy.

I would just go by the SMOE finishes each year. That is the only strongman competition that truly tests the athletes completely.

[@Kragatar]

SMOE still has a lot of bugs to work out. Like the squat. With that rig and the pre-determined foot placement, it's not a matter of who is strongest but who can best guesstimate where their feet will need to be when they've got 800lbs on their shoulders. Terrible event. The leg press is like that too. They need to eliminate the micromanagement and pre-determined nonsense for it to be the best test of strength out there.

SMOE is the best test of strength in the sport and Lucas not zeroing just proves how strong he is. And since you bring up Maxime, remember that they were both at AUK and SMOE too and Lucas handily beat him twice while Max only beat Hatton once.

[@MrBoboiscool]

Using strongest man on earth to base anything feels awful this year, Terribly run event, half the field zero'ing on events, you finish 3rd by hitting low scored on everything and just getting points on the board. Hopefully its better next year but I would not base anything on that this year.

Clearly if half the field is zeroing and Lucas isn't then that must mean...he was stronger! Complicated stuff there. As for a terribly run event at smoe I was there and the atmosphere was electric.
