[@brendon2462]

Marius was the most athletic, most agile in speed events. He had the best combination of agility, endurence, and strength. But more emphasis should be put towards overall absolute maximum static strength. After all It is the worlds strongest man. Zydrunas was the man in that respect.

Savickas, Pudzianowski, Shaw, Hall, Björnson, Magnussen, Kazmaier all legendary names in strongmen, never to be forgotten.

[@Hardistul]

@Dony Dox You can easily forget about Hall, one WSM title, no Arnolds, one record that was broken in gym and soon to be broken in competition. He might be remembered for his big mouth, but apart from a big deadlift, he has no legacy whatsoever.

[@gabbeskillz6262]

@@Hardistul I dislike Eddie as much as the next guy, but you can't deny his incredible overhead strength.

[@drewmontoya3838]

@@Hardistul how are you comparing a world record set at a gym with your own personal shit than in a competition?. That world record that bjornsson beat shouldn't even exist because of that reason it wasnt in competition.

[@Hardistul]

@@drewmontoya3838 Does it count as a competition when the competitor (Hall) sets the increments and pauses ? (Benni Magnusson waited some 20 minutes between lifts so Hall could lift when he was ready). And how about the lockout (or rather the lack of). A more severe (read "serious") referee would have kept his hand up until the shaking stopped (hall was shivering as a newborn roe deer). But I guess it's OK because "it was a competition". Also, it was a valid world record when the same Hall beat the 18” deadlift while pulling 2 crates filled with his books (falling of the pile no less) in a cafeteria. Regardless of what Hafthor did in his gym, that record will soon be broken. Ivan Makarov nearly pulled 501 in competition (got stuck bellow the knees), and he said that he will attempt 520 ish when the quarantine lifts, and I am inclined to think he will get at least a 505. Either way, Hall's prediction that his record will stand for decades has fallen flat. All this being said, Hall is a pygmy compared to the likes of Jon Pall, Big Z, Brian Shaw, Mariusz Pudzianowski, Bill Kazmaier or Magnus ver Magnusson.

[@kadenkohl782]

@@Hardistul everyone is going to remember the first man to lift 500kg. Mostly because he won’t shut up about it

He's the best ever so far and let me tell you why: first of all he holds many records which i'm sure will be broken in time but he did it all with consistency and grace. Also he's the most humble and nicest person around unlike some of the other competitors. The overall package makes him number 1. Respect.

[@johnnyvain544]

always liked big Z cuz he seems like such a humble guy but deff one of the most powerful strongmen ever.

[@branominal8564]

There is literally no argument for anyone else IMO, no one has been this consistently dominant over so many years, versatile in so many different types of competition, on so many different events both heavy and light, for reps or weight, moving or static, or held so many world records while also being well-rounded enough to win full shows. Brian is a distant second, had a similar career just less successful, and Thor is distant again in third, having all the ability but only at his peak for a few years
