Training with World's Strongest Man Martins Licis

[@MartinsLicis]

Thanks for coming out!

[@huaahhggg9507]

Are you doing a video on this?

[@MHB30]

Thanks for having me. Can’t wait for the next episode of Strength Unknown

[@rickharris275]

I feel like this is the 2023 version of the movie "Twins". I'm 100% down with that.

[@LuisGomez-bm3fm]

That'd be fuxking sick

[@TeamRelsonGracieFL]

Who’s DeVito?

[@rickharris275]

@@TeamRelsonGracieFL there can be only one Devito , but John would be Devito-adjacent...in this case

[@JoseRodriguez-pq5sz]

John devito. Imposible. Dude is an Arnold. No devito version here. Do y’all know Wtf John is and what he has accomplished. Lol. My man… SMH please… lmao

[@liamengram6326]

​@@JoseRodriguez-pq5sz Do you not comprehend that the comparison is made because of the size difference?

[@anthonyproffitt5341]

The Basque stone lifting vest Martins has is bad ass. Great video.

[@Joncka]

I really like that Martins and John are good buddies, two of my favorite athletes. And I like that it's strongman training. Not that powerlifting isn't impressive, but for me, strongman is just so much more fun to watch! Are we going to see you entering more and more strongman competitions?

[@JuggoJuggo]

Keyboard coach here, what you need to do is perfect that old timey olympic clean and press lean back, get your back at a right angle so it's just a bench press.

[@joebot9309]

Incline that biotch

[@sylence4u]

serge reding had perfect form on that

[@JuggoJuggo]

@@sylence4u I was watching him lift, I thought it was a hairy bowling ball.

[@Jmack7861]

Most amateur strongman actually have more benefit learning to split jerk- most competitions a jerk is allowed as long as there’s no double dipping

[@kizzmitten1]

As a Martins fan, its cool to see you try Strongman! Really stellar log attempt!

[@samueljones2878]

You need to get out to Colorado and see Brian Shaw !!!

[@khoile4271]

Yo Martins kept and is actively using the traditional Basque Stone-lifter vest. SICK!

[@rawrmusic55]

This is cool as hell, but it's John and Martins....so, it is expected. Fun workout to watch and motivational as always. Thanks man!

[@redmudkip]

My two favourite strength athletes in one video, I want to cry.

[@---Blue]

I feel like heavy yoke would transfer well into squat stability due to core strengthening and also the strengthening of ligaments around ankles and knees

[@martinbradley1062]

Your clean on the log is very good and explosive

[@-FLOW13-]

Love These two guys!

[@murabitojames]

That music at the end 👌 I have that in my gym playlist too, considering it's technically a gym song already

[@DreJr]

What's the name?

[@murabitojames]

@@DreJr It's a remix of the Pokemon Sword/Shield gym theme

[@DreJr]

@@murabitojames thank you

[@cfields8507]

Ill never get tired of the Sunny intro🤣 its so good

[@Rickndanger84]

The video drop timing is perfect on your channel

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

Where'd you go!?! Hope everything is ok. We'd all like to see some new content if you are able.

[@abcitiseasyasonetwothree3066]

When you dip in before you push a log you lose lots of tightness. I hope you see it. Martins when he dips with log he does it together with his body more fluently.

[@phil5037]

It’s almost as if Martins has more experience with this

[@abcitiseasyasonetwothree3066]

I want to see him as best ever at everything so i hope i can help in any way haha

[@a.f.s.3004]

Just don’t get hurt bro! 💪

[@SlickRieck]

This is exactly what I wanted to see, fuck yes

[@michaelstewart9366]

Yoke carry looked good bro.

[@Nirsterkur]

Awesome collaboration with Martins, John. Next we need a collaboration with Hafthor Julius Bjornsson! 💪🏻

[@MHB30]

That would be cool!

[@austinfair23]

@@MHB30 I think Hafthor would definitely be open to it! I mentioned he should get together with you yesterday on his twitch stream. He's been streaming daily and answering most questions at www.twitch.tv/hafthorjulius

[@mrlaxkid1995]

That or Brian Shaw. Either would be great

[@teepressifer]

shaw 100% thor is strong but boring to watch his channel

[@Nirsterkur]

@@teepressifer Is Brian Shaw your subscriber?

[@prateekraj8187]

Wow! what a collab.

[@kevinmccallister3133]

John, would you ever train with Larry Wheels now that he is in Cali?

[@oskarkleinoscheg4792]

Yes, martins did indeed train with the best.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Train with Mitch Hooper as well, the current WSM, he's an awesome dude and knowledgeable too.

[@pattol666]

its always sunny with john haack

[@heraldofwar]

Awesome collaboration with martins again. Now we need to see one with CBUM next!

[@communityiscringe4087]

Would be stupid for cbum to try strongman workout and risk injury

[@kaufman1827]

Martins was being trained by Oog Haugen for the deadlift, and he knows what is is doing....

[@RenzinatorStrength1961]

Great Stuff

Excited by the title alone let’s goooo!

[@Austin_Powa]

Collab with Thor next!!? 🎉💪🏻

[@weightman18]

Which competition are you going to be in?

[@AzH1988UK]

Haack Is a beast

[@SupERsNipAa327]

You’re bulking to what weight?

[@forest-bass]

Is it possible to get these posted without the 4x4 music? It's distractingly bad.

[@Asiansxsymbol]

Judging by the thumbnail, John is about 5'8" and Licis is 6'2".

[@AJH3518]

Hell yeah

[@waded2678]

I hope you're off cycle if drinking. Stay healthy man💪

[@steel_and_stones]

Hey, someone finally got through with the head position on log 😂

[@Stranger_Grip]

I think Martins is the only guy to win all three in the same year Edit: not in the same year

[@MHB30]

I was pretty sure that was the case.

[@rickharris275]

Yes, and the closest to that would be Thor winning WSM, WUS, and the Arnold in 2018. Rogue is relatively new.

[@nick7976]

He didn't win all three in the same year - he won WSM in 2019, Rogue Invitational in 2021, and the Arnold in 2022. But he is the only person to win all three comps - Novikov has won WSM and Arnold, while Savickas, Thor and Shaw have won Arnold and WSM.

[@Nirsterkur]

2018 Hafthor: Europe's Strongest Man, World's Strongest Man, World's Ultimate Strongman and the Arnold Strongman Classic.

[@erebus79]

@@rickharris275 Rogue has only been around for 2 or 3 years. Thor has the most impressive year in strongman with his wins in 2018.

[@davideaston8437]

That intro title card 👌

[@stoempert]

Cool 👌🏻

[@fejimush]

Gotta find a way to get out to London to watch in person. Need someone to carry your luggage John 😂? I’m super good at that! It’s fun, interesting (I’m learning a lot around you and the crew.), and inspiring to witness your progress (ups and downs) and keeping it real. Stay healthy and injury free!

[@aarons3014]

It's a Basque stone lifters vest. Handmade for him. The video on his channel about the best stone lifters in the world talks about it.

You should to lift 400 kg in yoke

Music was weird but the lifts were good

[@andreascala2663]

and so we are losing another elite powerlifter who is trying other stuff..... too bad

[@marcochavezjr9180]

Wrong he said in other videos at heart he is a power lifter and he is going to stay with that, he's just doing this at the moment.

[@marcochavezjr9180]

He's doing this at the moment because he loves strength sports.

@@marcochavezjr9180 Larry Wheels had many injuries doing the same....

[@marcochavezjr9180]

@@andreascala2663 Let's hope John doesn't.

[@huaahhggg9507]

He's definitely losing focus especially with the drinking to the point it's impacting his training. But you know what, he's honestly probably peaked. He started juicing, bulked up, and likely hit all of his goal PRs, might be time to try new stuff
