I believe he was sent from the future to take out Sarah Connor but got distracted by strongman contests.

[@beardedbjorn5520]

Got distracted by toffee.

[@EscoDesco1]

lol

[@abdulwahabvanreenen723]

"I'll be back" Never comes back

[@Bjorn_R]

🤣🤣🤣 T-3000

[@bulkfiction7687]

Mateusz is an exceptional athlete. He really has a few WSM titles in the tank if he can keep injury free.

[@MyBlocksStrongestMan]

Yes it will be interesting to see which contests are available when he recovers. Rob Kearney mentioned that his tricep will take him until about June to recover and I think Mateusz was injured a little earlier so we should see him back around that time frame.

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

@Darth Dredd It's definitely not the fragility in either case; both cases are a result of recklessness and not so smart training. In Rose's case, he was reckless in playstyle, landed in such a way that put a lot more stress on his joints, and was a sugar addict. Baron Davis was as well, and he was injury-prone. In Mateusz's case, after the imperfect surgery, he ramped up the weights VERY quickly without coaching or supervision, and therefore never got to rehabilitate like he needs to. He learned his lesson finally after this last surgery. He talked to Martins about all of it, and decided to take a smarter and more methodical approach to his recovery and training. Recovery wins titles in the Strongman game. NO ATHLETE has ever been "injury-prone" by nature or by genetic predisposition. That's a defeatist and pathetic mentality. It's all down to smart training, lots of high-quality recovery, an ideal diet for you, plenty of rest, a work ethic and a mentality to pull it all together. If you're getting injured multiple times, you're doing something wrong.

[@gruffydd1000]

Yes he does.

[@Jas_Flash92]

For sure! Hahahaha dude is a beast

[@daniel224nl]

My favorite was at Arnold Santa Monica 2019. Everyone was struggling with a 170kg log, most not even cleaning it and then Mateusz was Viper pressing it three times

[@prarthakrai6]

His Overhead at the world's stongest man 2019 was damn impressive too.

[@mprovin7320]

I remember this one, Brian took like 4 minutes to stabilise the log before pressing lol

[@proboz]

@@mprovin7320 You're thinking 2020. 2019 was when Mateusz walked out last and obliterated everyone and the crowd went apeshit.

[@9256steven]

Yes, the commentator said, "Oh give me a break" when he swung the log from his lap.

[@filiplofgren8023]

same here, when you watch all of the guys go before him and then he comes up, viperpressing it twice. then he looks over beeing like, i need one more? viperpresses it once more. fucking epic.

[@steveunderwood8145]

The people have spoken and Loz has delivered 🙏🏽

[@ivanzugaj793]

i remeber watching mateusz on stone to shoulder. Still get gooseboms on watching it.

[@beardedbjorn5520]

I watched that just yesterday. Man he looked so pissed at Mark Henry hahaha

[@FabledGentleman]

It's just unheard of really. The stone weighs 183kg.. Pretty much the weight of 3 normal sized women. And the stone is uneven and has "sharp" edges. Just getting the stone up to the shoulder 1 time is a massive feat, which very few people are capable of. And yes, as we have seen, maybe only five people on the entire planet are able to get that stone to a shoulder just one single time. And then to actually do it five times in a row... Holy crap... 183! KG.... wtf..

[@pycassoclaudiu]

"Mateusz Kieliszkowski the Polish Titan" - Martins Licis after Mateusz did the stones.

[@Sebastian_Polak_Maly]

I think he called him that after he won World's Ultimate Strongman in Dubai with a torn bicep.

[@jooka2010]

The Polish Terminator. The only time I see him joke around is with Martin's in his videos hahaha. The man Is an absolute MACHINE

[@los1wochos]

He truly is my favorite strongman, not even memeing. When he came out in the arnold classic 2018 and lifted the stone 4 times, the old guard and mark henry were in absolute awe. The crowd going crazy for this 24 year old kid. I just rewatched it and it is my favorite moment in strongman.

[@SFUSW]

Next Top 5 Performances: Jón Páll S., Zydrunas S., Mariusz P., Brian S., Hafþór B. etc. Tons of content

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

Eddie, Terry Hollands, Martins, Mike Jenkins, Derek Poundstone, etc.

[@goodreason3123]

I love Mateusz because he is funny and his absolutely insane event performances. Even thou he never won WSM or AC he is no doubt one of the all time best.

[@seife41]

better than novikov imo

[@madzanta]

The frame carry is my favorite. He makes it look easier than walking two grocery bags to the car.

[@teamwpventure]

Add to that you've got Thor in the other lane struggling and it's an all time classic.

[@wolololer]

@@statementleaver8095 btw thor and other athletes complain that on their side the "farmers"(i dont rememebr the name of that implement) was unbalanced, everyone form that side got shit results

[@wolololer]

@@statementleaver8095 yeah i completly blanked and couldnt rememebr the name of the "frame" ty. But as i said ppl that carry the frame on the other side of Mateusz complained the frame was not even.

[@douglasnisbet1189]

Watching Mateusz just makes me feel sorry for the other guys 😂 He is just so damn good at so many events. Still don't think anyone can beat him when he's on top form with no injuries.

[@BlueNeonBeasty]

Mateusz' performance on the wheel of pain at the last Arnold's classic has to be one of his top performances for me. He jumped so far up from both the previous year's performances and out did everyone else at that year's event by such a wide margin it was amazing to watch

[@natewyliestudios]

Mateusz is going to be one of the all time greats if he keeps up, he's an amazing athlete

[@bishoyrafaat1514]

dude mateusz is incredible truck puller

[@Sigrt]

His best performances is easily the stone to shoulder from Arnolds. I literally stood up from my couch when watching it.

[@Mr.Ciobanu]

For me its the 2019 WSM log medley, the way he one motioned everything was just bonkers !

[@jakubradelski1281]

I remember a video of Mateusz talking about his Ultimate Strongman Summermania dumbbell record (video: "[ENG SUB] Mateusz Kieliszkowski x Konrad Karwat - trening hantla") - he said that it went better than he expected, cause they didn't really have enough plates for him to warm up properly before the attempt (he had to warm up with a 90 kg dumbbell before lifting 150 kg).

[@drphilscreampielounge9549]

This dude is shear strength every year he’s everyone’s favourite hopefully next year he’ll finally take top spot in WSM I remember your interview with him a few months ago and he seems so humble great guy

[@m1nayondaime]

Watching him do that stone run basically one-armed in 2019 made him one of the best strongmen EVER. Just the mental to go in and do that fighting through the pain is not something a lot of people could do and he nailed it.

[@NolanFriedline]

Mateusz is the kind of guy they used to sing legends about.

[@graememarsh]

Glad you chose the frame carry, when I watched it live my jaw dropped with how quick he did it!

[@iron4055]

217kg stone to shoulder on training is amazing for me.

[@WillStopka]

Everyone started one motioning logs because of this man 🇵🇱

[@Maplenr]

That natural stone lift is my number one, his domination of it was fucking incredible. That's where I knew he had arrived entirely

[@MajesticSkywhale]

I have a poster on my wall of mateusz winning the frame carry lol

[@hockeyfreak896890]

The overhead medley from 2019 WSM was an insane performance. Destroyed that event

[@jonathanfeatherston758]

Completely agree about his best performance. That stone run was incredible. It's not just the toughness. It's literally the loss of a major muscle involved in the atlas stones!

[@gurrag78]

Mateusz gives a new meaning to the word stubborn.

[@toko4578]

His face is next to definition of it in every encyclopedias.

[@cookiemonsteryummy2]

His stone to shoulder performance is, to this day the most impressive feat of strength ive ever seen imo. Its actually so fucking insane

[@Bjorn_R]

Mateusz overhead strenght is mindblowing. I started focusing on improving my OH press this year and I am really starting to realize that its such a hard lift to progress in, both in strenght progress and the level of injury risk due to how mobile the shoulder joint is..

[@candycanesmudvayne1958]

If he continues to improve his deadlift, he can win everything. So likable too. I love this guy

[@thunderhawk2376]

Great video- Mateusz is primal.

[@hugodogobob]

When I saw the stone run I was absolutely gobsmacked

[@jarrydsavage7547]

Mateusz is such an incredible all round strongman, he just keeps impressing every time I see him. If u we’re building a strongman he’s the prototype. He’s definitely got a wsm title in his future. Seeing a great all rounder like novikov win it I bet he just can’t wait to get back to doing what he does best, being a beast and dominating 💪🏼

[@ernadminic7377]

This channel never fails to deliver quality content. Subscribed!

[@BigLozOfficial]

Thanks buddy

[@aberose7405]

I would love to see a series of these top 5 of top athletes like Brian and Zydrunas

[@ilikemachieneguns]

I remember watching the Arnold stream while he was doing the stone to shoulder. I was screaming at the screen for the last 2 reps to encourage him 😂

[@KubanaNCSGO]

His stone to shoulder, from last year, when he did 4 (I know he did 5 this year) but that original performance was insane, everyone was struggling, even Hafthor and Brian had troubles, he made it look like child's play and simply outclassed everyone like I've never seen anyone do before.

[@sharpestbulb]

That stone run at wus was unbelievable. So moving. A true champion

[@Smitlors]

Yeah an absolute beast I met him in Manchester at Giants live super focused I feel him and Novikov will come to dominate the sport in the coming years

[@Gajargon]

I definitely think they're the evolution of the sport; shear strength of body and mind that can adapt to anything, and we've mostly only seen Matteusz perform with injuries that he's fixed or fixing now. I know the field keeps improving and it seems unlikely we'll see another 4 or 5x winner again, but I think him and Novikov and possibly Licis could usher in the next Shaw/Z-style win-trading era.

[@xcuu]

While Mateusz’s performance in the stones during Arnold 2019 was better than 2018’s, I’d choose the latter instead. In 2018 everybody was struggling to even lift the stone up to their knees. Getting a clean was just an outstanding performance. Then Mateusz came along and lifted the damn stone not once, not twice, but four times. It was absolutely unbelievable.

[@whiskey_press8875]

Mateusz is one of the best and this is the best strongman channel, what a way to start off my Saturday morning. Thank ya loz, I'm bout to train stone to shoulder today!

[@gurjot1729]

let's do a top 5 for uncle loz

[@GodsFirmament]

His 5 reps stone shoulder was unbelievable. That should be on any top 10 list and more likely top 5.

[@nonodonttouchmethere674]

I remember watching the 2019 WUS stones in a Martins video, and i'm still amazed to this day of that event

[@arturm2eots]

Correction: he's a 3-time podium finisher at the Arnold Strongman Classic. 3rd in 2015 and 2019, 2nd in 2020.

[@johnyoung5413]

That atlas run at wus was incredible. I doubt anyone else could do that with only one arm

[@6Snaus]

I remember watching Martins' video from Dubai talking with Mateusz and helping him throughout throughout his injury and the stone run. Seeing the emotion from the other competitors and the level of respect they had for his drive and resilience was astounding. That was one of the guttiest and most impressive things I have ever seen in strongman.

[@jylauril]

You will do these from other athletes too and yourself I hope?

[@nicklackey6595]

Gotta be the most adorable strongman... "I like sweets, toffee hehehehe" Really haha he is adorable...

[@XLRHATE]

Can't wait 2021 WSM, hopefully everybody will be there and it will be incredible.

[@beardedbjorn5520]

Toffee Power!

[@mago4464]

Mateusz could definitely win this year' WSM he did bigger weights at his training

[@orangegames3284]

And was injured

[@PLTakeMe]

@@orangegames3284 yeah, and it was bc wsm send the weights that may be on tournament, so bc of this he had to train on heavier weights, they have to find middle ground with weights, bc we could never see a preson with 2 titles ever again

[@billf9526]

Great list, thanks Loz! Glad you got the atlas stone event as part of your list. I saw that via another channel and the advice was to get a stone or two and call it a day. Each stone was a win in itself. To get all sever was crazy! I think one that would make my list, as others have also said I'm sure, is the pressing medley in the 2019 WSM. I don't know what was more entertaining... seeing him one move everything but the globe barbell or the announcers watching him fly through the events. Thanks again, Loz!

[@Avarice16]

I'd like you to do a video like this on all the top guys with their best lesser known performances. Great content.

[@fiffo416]

the stone run with the torn bicep is something out of this world

[@philippecourtemanche7190]

Great video! Would like to see more videos in this genre

[@JuzCzas]

Thank you!

[@2luckyluke3]

Thanks for the video. Very interesting how you show it

[@hankheavy]

My favourite Strongman. Never seen that type of strength before. He's an original

[@Ravishrex1]

Thanks for the great content Uncle Loz

[@ThorsHammer88]

Yes! What we all wanted 👍

[@JordoniusOfFrisia]

Inspiring is right, this guy's amazing!

[@douglasnisbet1189]

Mateusz is just an absolute beast though. Guarantee the next 5 performances he does next year will be even better 😂

[@cameronmasters7856]

Brilliant stuff loz would love to see more vids like this 👌

[@glendakay9895]

Aww...the last is bringing a tear.

[@seanlafferty3085]

I'm going to his seminar in June, very excited

[@vn2100bc]

Is his recent Arnold performance minus the deadlift the most dominant performance ever?

[@Gajargon]

If they ever have a contest with no squat or deadlift he'll be unbeatable

[@michaelnorton6828]

Great video!

[@jendrej83]

Kieliszkowski the beast!

[@vetleeklo5951]

Love your videos, perfect channel for us that love strongman💪💪💪

[@gym-kneecrickets6294]

Great content

[@jimllbreakit8537]

I’m subscribed just a few weeks but watching old videos I see the big improvements in quality. Better camera or lens, good sound, video chapters. Very nice. You guys film and edit yourself?

[@lucasr730]

So proud to be polish !! So proud to be represented by a guy like Mateusz ! Keep going great bro !

[@TheAcidJazzSituation]

Amazing camera update!

[@BigLozOfficial]

Thank you

[@torringtonstonekeeper]

The polish terminator is unstoppable. Get in his way an you will be terminated

[@pfootball6363]

I was really looking forward to seeing Kieliszkowski at WSM this year and was quite saddened that he had to pull out. I swear he will be a WSM winner some day. He is truly amazing to see

[@AoE2Replays]

just stumbled onto your channel, i used to watch you guys as a kid!! awesome to see youve started a youtube channel, im subbed to you and eddie. must be the british accent haha.

[@dougdeal6433]

Great video as always

[@DPK365]

Mateusz and Tom Stoltman are the future of strongman....these two will go back and forth for years.

[@thechristopher473]

Awesome

[@ingolfrutterman1332]

Love it yeah he continuously amazes me with these insane feats of strength there was the dumbbell medley at the end of one of the Arnolds and yeah he blew me away with that frame carry where others such as Hapthor and Martins struglled he trains all of these moving events and even truckpull uphill at home 👍

[@bogdann6934]

Next: Top 5 Performances: Mariusz Pudzianowski :D

[@t77299]

I totally agree with uncle Loz, we will have more of Mateusz in the future.

[@yan3066]

Would be nice to watch the best performances of Mariusz Pudzianowski, and why he is called The Dominator. His win at wsm in 2003 by over 20 points against Savickas and Virastyuk.

[@Tsmania12]

Mateusz is incredible. But laurence, ur videos and the pure respect towards ur colleagues/opponents are really a fresh breath of Air. Awesome work! 🤗

[@possiblepilotdeviation5791]

I've got to put your number 2 as my number 1, but still, a great list.

[@BalikaMr]

Please next time, if you present this very interesting top 5 performances video, highlight the very bests of Stongest Man of Europe 2016! Thanks!

[@mariusjohansen702]

Haven't seen all of these previously. But I remember watching arnolds in 2019 and thinking nobody could beat Jerry Pritchetts speed up that ramp, but man was I wrong.

[@kredonystus7768]

His real greatest achievment is the one he surpasses every day. To think he can get through his toffee addiction without complaint amazes me more than anything.

[@highviewbarbell]

personally I think deserving mention would be the time during a log for reps event where everyone else zeroed or struggled for one rep and Mateusz one-motioned the log three times

[@karollorak2394]

Mateusz is just getting started :):)

[@dburger2]

Loz, genuinely, such a great analysis. The benchmarking and the added experience and context you deliver makes you the best strongman commentator around. Keep going mate. There is a underserved strongman fan community behind you.

[@liamritchie2202]

Phenomenal specimen

[@ShadowThemeFFVI]

For a future video I would be interested to see you talk about Strongman sportsmanship. I’ve always admired how all these strong and competitive athletes respect each other, cheer each other on even with their rivals. In head to head event if one person quits before the other it’s not rare to see him push his opponent to do well. I think it would be worth highlighting.

[@davidec.4021]

So glad you put those stones as best feat. I watched it live and could not believe my eyes. Martins too was flabbergasted. Mateusz manages to do things that are unconceivable

[@Jonasfeet]

My favorite moment of Mateusz is from the Arnold last year,where all other athletes struggled to slowly push the wheel of pain, Mateusz almost seemed to take a little run with it.

[@BeastinFitness]

I will always remember Mateusz and the natural stone to shoulder event. Most could not even lift it one time, the ones that could only barely managed 1 rep, and he destroys 5 reps. That was insane.

[@tomels8]

Very nice video Loz! Mateusz is the most powerful men on the earth at the moment!
