Brenden Day to be honest Terry Hollands is kind of a gatekeeper. his problem is that when he bombs he bombs hard. Look at Shaw and Big Z, even when it’s their worst event they’re almost never outside of the top 3, maybeee top 4, but for Terry it’s not uncommon to see him finish almost in dead last sometimes. Those points prove to be very costly. Even when he comes on really strong, it seems like he’s always just 1 event away from dropping 3 spots
@@NirsterkurNot many are big wins for Thor only 1 WSM and 3 Arnold, Whereas Brain has 2 Shaw Classic, 4 WSM, 3 Arnold's, Thor could've won so much more than he did.
Kaz might have had the most impressive shoulder pressing strength when he was in WSM but man it might be a tie...big Z always come in with machine like pressing power. Wow
a variety of characters from all walks of life.... Brian Oldfield for crissakes! and the events were much more interesting..... I'd love to see these guys doing the bar bend
I am a men French and excuse me but i speak no good English! I'm live in FRANCE....Yes Paris "The Tour Eiffel ;-) " It is February 10, 2019 but I am a very very very very big fan of BRIAN SHAW but I discovered it only 3 months ago so since I look for two to three hours before going to sleep these videos on youtube !! And I think he is incredible because he is one of the strongest men on this planet Earth but at the same time, when I see him speak, answer questions from journalists, and even if another strong man come to him to look for stories so that Brian gets carried away or gets upset, and no Brian will stay calm because he is very very strong physically but he is also very very strong mentally and he is the most intelligent of all the strong man! And he is a very very good dad! it's the best :-) Au revoir à tous Bises From France :-)
Big Z was the strongest man that year. He won the deadlift and the press events. WSM isn't just a strength competition. I would like to see a pure strength competition, all static, nothing mobile.
Okay, I've been binge watching these competitions and hear Savickas' name being pronounced as SavicKas and SaviSkas. Could someone from Lithuania tell me which is right?
never understood why WSM uses these little handles to tear their fucking hands to shreads and on the first event at that to fuck up the entire competition because you can't actually see how strong someone is with ripped up hands
There was nobody stronger than Jon Pall Sigmarson! Look up for the cartwheels deadlift, over 500 kilo with a rectangular bar! He will always be the strongest unless someone picks up a higher wait under same circumstances and conditions! He broke Khasmeijer and the world record in one day!
I really do like Hafthor but it took him 8 tries to win worlds. Big Z, 4 tries. B. Shaw, 3 times. 2009 - 3rd 2010 - 2nd 2011 - 1st Shaw is the strongest human to have ever lived .
Zydrunas couldn't compete in 4 straight WSMs in his prime because of internal politics, and was top 2 in every other one over a span of 14 years. 8 Arnold's when no one else has more than 3. Shaw is awesome, and the second best ever, but big Z is the GOAT by a wide margin.
Z is the greatest by a Margin, Z also had 6 second places at WSM and he couldn't compete during 2005-7, He would've wom twice more atleast if he could.
Big Z fans: Marius's generation was weak Big Z has the biggest press so he is the strongest. Bro! Two of the five times Marius won it was against Big Z
Why not just give them wider fucking grips for the frame carry? I hate that the event basically comes down to whose hands will rip, and then the competitors who're unfortunate have their whole weekend negatively affected. Just make the grips proper and make the thing heavier or have them go farther. Seems pretty basic.
It’s really irritating hearing the commentators constantly mispronounce Savickas’s name. It’s not Savisckas, at least if you’re the commentator get the names of the competitors correct especially the defending champion
@@-Erebus he definitely isn't tho . He was majorly hyped up every year but was never a legitimate threat ! He did manage 3rd in 2007 but that was the cream of the crop he kinda got lucky
I hate the way they pretend the old records don’t exist. All the heaviest deadlift claims, but the guys did more 20 years earlier. Give Tom McGee his credit!
Every damn time an American wins you always get "-Oh, god has blessed me"... in the interview afterwards. You won because YOU worked hard Brian Shaw, don't give credit to god for that shit man, haha.
Here after hearing Brian Shaw retired. Thank you Brian Shaw for an amazing career in WSM. Truly one of the goats of the sport.
Man it's CRAZY how in less than ten years, the deadlift records have increased from mid-900s to the mid-1000s.
617CH M4D3 1100+ which is even more mind blowing

Will be interesting to see how Hafþór fares in the next few years. He was only 22 there and he's got at least ten years left in him!
You predict it man!
He won.
I think he might do okay.
He's a bum. No way he goes anywhere.

sadly these guys paid (so ive heard many times) thousands ($41000.top prize), very underrated and underpaid sport
So is MMA
Hooper would be salivating seeing frame carry and yoke as the first 2 events.

Not the strongest but hes still one of the best amd hes a good sport
they are good sports :D all of the people i watched compete here only one was egoistic and arogant.. forgot his name

Terry Hollands is very underrated. I don't think many people know how close he has gotten time and time again to winning.
If only he had finished 1-st competition...
Andrew Potapenkoff 2013 he had a really good shot at it but injured himself when he was in second place halfway through. Always thought he was such a good sport.

With that being said he’s the best truck puller in history and he’s a legend in his own right
@@forbesfoofighters You are so right, instead of getting on with it Terry complains
Rip mike
Zydrunas performance in log lift showed how much gap between him and Brian in shoulder power
Doesn't really say much though, Žydrūnas Savickas is the strongest overhead presser to ever live. That's still a fair event for Shaw.
Brian Shaw and Zadrunas Sawickas
Strong as hell, these guys
My respect 💪
With all that respect, you could atleast learn how to spell his name.
@@samotargos5199 you could at least spell at least correct.
Hafthor improved 20x. His progression is so apparent visiting back these old WSM contests.
But he could have or more like should have won more competitions due to bad choices
@@darylkanofski9327He has won more competitions than Brian Shaw.

That would be an epic showdown. Both are healthy and in their primes. I would have to put my money on Big Z, though.
That this man would dethrone Žydrūnas Savickas in his prime not just here, but two additional times, just shows you how legendary Brian Shaw has been.
Thanks for putting this up. Made my day.

ZYDRUNAS SAVICKAS AKA STRONGEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED
I know the answer! I wish I could still win the holiday!
thanks for posting this bro
Great show-shame about the phone scam.
Big Z was the strongest man that year. He won the deadlift and the press events. WSM isn't just a strength competition. I would like to see a pure strength competition, all static, nothing mobile.
Thor 6th wow it just shows how getting experience is important
What a geezer Terry Hollands pride of Dartford , amazing !
ZYDRUNAS SAVISKAS WSM ever
Classic. Good stuff. Very exciting contest.
Rare time that Terry actually smiles (winning the stones) lol
Okay, I've been binge watching these competitions and hear Savickas' name being pronounced as SavicKas and SaviSkas. Could someone from Lithuania tell me which is right?
I'm not from Lithuania, but you can hear him say, when he introduces himself, as SaviTSkas. None of the above. :D
Mariusz Pudzianowski nr.1 👍👊🦾💪🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
it is underpaid but they dont just do one competition a year...still i agree underpaid
Congratulations Mr. Shaw. Mr. Colbert can eat his words along with the Atlas Stones.
Look at the depth in quality of the field. Unbelievable. Easily the best ever
Can they not use gloves for the first carry!? Or does it impede them? Or just not allowed? THANKS!!
I’m not totally sure but most of it is for grip so they might not want competitors using grip help
Caroline Pearce 🔥
Holy shit thors coach was fucking huge compared to now
Ladies and gentleman, the Shaw era begins on this day
Big Z on the log press is insane
Listen to this beast breathe 20:00
Brain Shaw is a Train!
love how much of a threat derek becomes later this year!!!!!
Jenkins was the strongest that year such an unfortunate injury
never understood why WSM uses these little handles to tear their fucking hands to shreads and on the first event at that to fuck up the entire competition because you can't actually see how strong someone is with ripped up hands
just this year happened to Mitchell Hooper. He destroyed his hands in a similar event, which was also the first one in the final.
Lolz funny yo see Haftor could only pull 370kgs .. now 9 years later he has the WR of 501kg 😶😁
Home-gym exhibitions are not world records.
Bon courage
Who’s watching in 2023
Here before 2020 WSM finals to see what Brian would have to do to win place wise
There was nobody stronger than Jon Pall Sigmarson! Look up for the cartwheels deadlift, over 500 kilo with a rectangular bar! He will always be the strongest unless someone picks up a higher wait under same circumstances and conditions! He broke Khasmeijer and the world record in one day!
Anyone know why the heats videos have been taken down?
thank you
I guess no one had ever heard of gloves.
My thoughts exactly. I think Shaw would go on to use gloves years later.
I really do like Hafthor but it took him 8 tries to win worlds. Big Z, 4 tries. B. Shaw, 3 times.
2009 - 3rd
2010 - 2nd
2011 - 1st
Shaw is the strongest human to have ever lived .
Zydrunas couldn't compete in 4 straight WSMs in his prime because of internal politics, and was top 2 in every other one over a span of 14 years. 8 Arnold's when no one else has more than 3. Shaw is awesome, and the second best ever, but big Z is the GOAT by a wide margin.
Shaw didn’t compete vs Mariusz in his prime like Z had to do. And Z beat Shaw over a dozen times including the Arnold’s. Shaw is awesome! But Z = 🐐
Z is the greatest by a Margin, Z also had 6 second places at WSM and he couldn't compete during 2005-7, He would've wom twice more atleast if he could.
@@Vipinnnn17 beating Mariusz in wsm isn't easy. He was made for wsm
@@daviesugo7641 i can see that but Z atleast had 1 win in him in 5 editions
I love how they still ask will their tall height be an advantage or disadvantage to give the illusion short guys even have a chance at this.
Lol well being (relatively) shorter does help for some events. Like deadlifting, Brian's extreme height actually hurts him there.
Marius was 6/6’1 and he won it more than anyone 😂
You cant compare Marius to mortals.
Dusty Barker true true the guy was off the scale
Big Z fans: Marius's generation was weak Big Z has the biggest press so he is the strongest.
Bro! Two of the five times Marius won it was against Big Z
Nine years later and they are lifting more reps and heavier... who would have thought that?
At what lift? definitely not overhead
27:30 badass moment
I didn't know Rodrigo Martinez was a real person.
Whos here cause of his insta post
and very strong in deadlifts
Who would you be more scared of if you got pulled over, Derek Poundstone or Ronnie Coleman?
MONSTER deadlifts
2024?
How would have tought thor will lift 501 for WR by 10 years
Yea he was a real amateur here .but u could tell by his build he was going places
Home-gym exhibitions aren't world records.
Good body but she isn't a patch on Philipa Forester.
sad indeed
Mmmm... spinach.. drooool.
I wish Terry could’ve won one time
Nowhere near as much as those commentators!! 😂😂😂
Yeah, but luckily the best ones do get some money from sponorships.
Deadlifting in the rain that's insanely dangerous !
Oh I could lift that stuff in about 9 seconds.
What the f...ever happened to Mike Jenkins??
His heart exploded and he passed away, Such an amazing rise he had Coming out of nowhere and beating Brian and Vytautas in the Arnolds hand winning.

he had too many weak events but in the events he was good at he was the best.
those are the strongest shoulders in the world ;)

Are you talking about the 1,180lbs deadlift? Because that one started with the bar already at his knees so no one really cares

Yes that was the 18 inch deadlift all those years ago. Not a standard deadlift we see today
Every damn time an American wins you always get "-Oh, god has blessed me"... in the interview afterwards. You won because YOU worked hard Brian Shaw, don't give credit to god for that shit man, haha.
