Unbelievable how much Paddy and Andrew have improved. Congrats to Luke for shutting out the distractions and getting on with the job. I hope he works out the family situation at least to the point where everyone involved can be civil to one another and I hope he'd able to keep fit and have a great season. Thanks for the commentary as usual.
Andy Black had absolutely no business being there when it was known that he barely trained you had athletes like Rauri O'Hagan and Matt McKegan who are fit and ready to go and gives Ireland more representation
Luke has been at his absolute best these last few years. Won his first Euros at like 36? 2nd at 39 and now Britain's at 40. Most people are retiring at this age and he's at his best.
If I remember correctly, it was only five or six years ago that Luke was able to quit his day job (working half the year out on an oil rig), and therefore started training full-time for strongman.
@devlin76 ya, it's crazy to think that half his career, or longer, was held back by that. That's the reality of the sport for so many competitors but definitely sucks.
Honestly, I've never seen Luke Stoltman in better shape, basically dominating the whole show with a 6 point lead over 2nd. And they were not easy events nor was it an easy line up. Luke came in leaner, faster and stronger than ever before. He put in serious work to prepare for this show and has reaped the rewards. The fact that he did this at 40 years of age too is nuts
@@dylanbrowne559 I think he and Tom said in one of his videos that he probably has a couple more years left. Think the video was like a year or so ago. He really needs to make the most of it. Father time waits for no one. Leaving a legacy on the sport for sure.
I’ve got a lot of time for Shane Flowers. Great to see the fear lifted off his face with the bicep troubles and if he can keep this momentum going and stay safe he’s on for a great year.
Gutted for Luke R, was looking great in prep The underdogs stole the show even though the pace was out of this world. Its great that its running so smoothly but even as fans, needing time to go to the toilet/grab drinks can be tricky at this kind of pace. Im sure they'll get it right though, improving every time
Saw Andrew Flynn is natural too, loved seeing both of them do so well without enhancement, not that I care who takes what but it’s inspiring to see them smashing it too!
Brutal events. I can see why some of the lads couldn't complete it and the ones that did must have been half dead by the end of it. Great show though. Well done Luke S
It will be much easier for Flynn to get get a tiny bit better at all events than for Paddy to master pressing. Like Paddy but Flynn is the future of GB strongmen.
I saw a podcast with George Sulaiman from Holland, performs in scl and he said that giants live with 2,5 or 3 hour show is perfect, if you look at dutch strongest man, that is like 6 or 7 hours....
Had issues with the livestream aswell. Missing the 2nd half of the stones was heartbreaking, there's so many people running infor the Giants live shows now that the website can't handle it. Winks be a lot better if streamed off UA-cam
So good to see Luke Stoltman again 👍. Hopefully this can be the stepping stone for him to return to UA-cam as well. I tjink, you are right, Pa. These 1 day shows need to be allowed to last more than 2,5 hours. No need to kill the athletes. 👍👍👍👍
Why? This was a strongman contest, not a judge somebody for something none of us know anything about. There are two sides to every story, none of us know what goes on behind closed doors. What we think we know has come from Kushi, I don’t condone, but I also don’t condemn. Why did Kushi air their dirty laundry in public other than to ruin Luke’s reputation, there was nothing else to gain from it. Luke hasn’t said anything, which for all the keyboard warriors means he’s guilty as charged. I’m there to watch feats of strength, Luke at 40 smashed it, he is now the reigning Europes Strongest Man and now Britains. There was no shadow over the event because Luke competed in it, it maybe an issue for you, but we see an image and assume we know everything about their lives. We don’t, I am sure there are a lot of skeletons in everyone’s cupboards. I will judge Luke as a strongman and that’s it and at 40 he is probably the best he’s been in a long time, maybe he’s had a huge weight lifted from his shoulders. Like I said there are 2 sides to every story and maybe Luke is just keeping his side to himself. Which he has every right to do as it’s none of our business
Getting sick and tired about al the comments on stoltman channel about the personal shit. It is strongman, and if you dont like stoltman, what the fuck are you doing there....
With all the nonsense and distractions swirling around, Luke Stoltman showed up and won gold. The man keeps winning big shows when you don't expect him to. He's securing a legacy for himself that will keep him from being known as Tom Stoltman's brother. If he podiums at WSM...wow. I think it might be good for him to do a long interview with someone to clear the air and re-connect with fans who have written him off. You're a friend of his, Pa, so maybe you're the guy to conduct the interview...I'm sure he trusts you after you defended him when the Mark Boyd taped phone message was released...
Luke's not going to beat Tom or Mitch at wsm so it leaves third I can't see him beating singleton,hoath,tray and rag at the same show I hope I'M very wrong as I support both stoltmans
That Mark Boyd thing was real low. Didn't he release it just before a big comp too? You have to cut these two faced people out of your lives. I've known loads over the years. Fake friends.
Nice try. I still respect Luke, but he is very much Tom's brother. He would have to actually beat Tom in a comp not win titles Tom doesn't enter or magically fail stones as the best stone lifter of the last ten years.
Last years britains strongest man was the last time i bought the livestream because it was so dogshit, a year on and it still hasnt improved much sadly so i dont think they really are taking it on...
luke stoltman was probably the most focused........in the best shape i can remember.........came out and proved just how good he is..........and once again we had the ....experts.....not giving him a mention.......richardson is the favorite ??? blah blah...fkn blah........right back at ye.....................
Luke 2x esm 1xbsm and world tour finals winner and you still have liz n loz not hardly mention him or have him in the bts footage wich is strange and people are going on like he has committed a crime weirdo's
Liz has his balls in a vice and has taken over the channel. I never minded her being a part of it but he barely gets in one word to her ten now it seems. I doubt Loz himself has much of a problem with Luke but got to keep Liz happy.
They both dislike Luke's actions, so does Mitch etc also - all publicly stated as much. He also did commit some smaller level things, such as threatening a local citizen and demanding that his boss fire him for daring to tell Luke some home truths when not in work. No redemption for him I'm afraid. Maybe he'll brand his multiple affairs as a mental health episode for people to keep drinking the kool aid. 🙂

Tbh, he moved his sidepiece in immediately. I very much doubt it will ever be civil - he probably needs to start being a decent human being first.
Just incase you didn’t notice, the livestream was shit 🤣
Sorry Pa, I had to
😂😂
It was pretty rough. If you go make a sandwich or something and play the stream 10 minutes behind It runs better. Crashed right at the end too.
Andy Black had absolutely no business being there when it was known that he barely trained you had athletes like Rauri O'Hagan and Matt McKegan who are fit and ready to go and gives Ireland more representation
Hope he comes back full force. I think he's still quite young despite him looking about 50🤣 sure he's only early thirties.
@@greenwendal5056 from a little search it looks like he's 34 or 35 - blimey I never would have guessed that! 🙂
100% guys not even liked in scotland nvm to be one of the ones representing it.
Give Paddy a couple of years and he will be like Mitch Hooper. What a great athlete ❤

Love your videos Pa straight talking, no messing with a few jokes thrown in, please keep them coming cheers
Glad to hear there were no catastrophic injuries. That competition was rough on the boys.
Britains was a class show, enjoyed it 😊 well earned win for Luke
Paddy is a dark horse, once he works on his weak events we should see a lot more of him. 1/2 a point from the podium definitely lit a fire in him
The live stream is always dog shit. You can skip forward or go back maybe once before you have to refresh the screen. Constantly freezes or cuts out.
Gutted for Luke R, was looking great in prep
The underdogs stole the show even though the pace was out of this world. Its great that its running so smoothly but even as fans, needing time to go to the toilet/grab drinks can be tricky at this kind of pace. Im sure they'll get it right though, improving every time
Paddy is limited by his natural status, tough tae keep up when you cant/wont take that step. Amazing to see him do so well though.
Tbf its nuts he can be that good and have a decent body composition without drugs
Saw Andrew Flynn is natural too, loved seeing both of them do so well without enhancement, not that I care who takes what but it’s inspiring to see them smashing it too!
He's not natty and hasn't been for about 18 months mate
Well he did amazing things for a natural dude
@@strongstories3183 do you have a source for that? Not saying you're wrong but I haven't heard about that
Great to hear Luke is ok. Steeplechase sounds savage. Big up Mr Flynn getting that podium.
Andy black should never have been invited, Rory and paul smith or ryan bennet would have been much better choices
Brutal events. I can see why some of the lads couldn't complete it and the ones that did must have been half dead by the end of it. Great show though. Well done Luke S
Pa, have you seen the World's Strongest Stoner? Please review his videos
Seems Luke is staying focused.
The de-monetisation force is strong with this video 🤣🤣🤣 Went out the window quick too ! 🤣🤣
It will be much easier for Flynn to get get a tiny bit better at all events than for Paddy to master pressing. Like Paddy but Flynn is the future of GB strongmen.
That’s a fair point

Good for him, never seen him at a giants live so he can't really comment
Had issues with the livestream aswell. Missing the 2nd half of the stones was heartbreaking, there's so many people running infor the Giants live shows now that the website can't handle it. Winks be a lot better if streamed off UA-cam
Ive noticed that events in SMOE had alot of failures on 2 events . They need do events where only maybe a couple fail l
It was a good show but I didn’t pay to watch a loading screen to then it cutting off before the show ended
So good to see Luke Stoltman again 👍.
Hopefully this can be the stepping stone for him to return to UA-cam as well.
I tjink, you are right, Pa. These 1 day shows need to be allowed to last more than 2,5 hours. No need to kill the athletes.
👍👍👍👍
I was knackered just running to top up my whisky.
I doubt it, the Reddit feeds on him are wild, and hilarious - then again he absolutely deserves it.
Pa is a fricken legend
I think the stoltman situation cast a shadow over it maybe but much more looking forward to Europe's

@@stevee8920 At no point did i say how i felt about it
Separate the athlete from the person 🤷🏻♂️
@@strongstories3183 Separate the dictator from the artist 🤷♂
@@strongstories3183 I respect him as an athlete, but he was the one that got me into the sport and was a role model. Hard to cheer for him now
I had Luke winning, Luke R second or injured and Shane third
how many swear words do you think you can get into a video?
Getting sick and tired about al the comments on stoltman channel about the personal shit. It is strongman, and if you dont like stoltman, what the fuck are you doing there....
Livestream was shit, accept my algorithm comment.
Accepted
Gratitude @@paodwyer__
People will moan saying its alot of moving tbf this show was really back heavy
👍

Britain's and World's are very different beasts. There's no way Luke is going to podium at World's, unless half the field crash on their way there.

honestly forgot about the whole Luke drama till now lol
Last years britains strongest man was the last time i bought the livestream because it was so dogshit, a year on and it still hasnt improved much sadly so i dont think they really are taking it on...
I had Luke R, Luke S Shane. So two out of 3. Shame Luke, Andy and Adam NDF. However a great comp. Well done Luke 🌶🌶🌶

Would be smart to do it on UA-cam.
If there's a way to monetize it with anywhere close to the same revenue, that would be sweet.
yea hoo luke

Luke looked extremely focused. Likelihood is he didn't want to be on camera more than he had to be

Hell Yeah! Luke is a legend, screw Sushi XD
