If Mariusz was doing a single dumbell lift he wasn't good would loose alot of points. Which can change placing.

    Mariusz is the greatest strongman that ever lived IMO. There were stronger men statically but Mariusz didn't give up much to them and held a rather extreme advantage in terms of cardiovascular conditioning. He also looked like a super hero.

      No doubt the guy was strong. But it seemed to be his strength combined with his explosiveness, and fitness relative to the other strongmen competitors, that really gave him the upper hand in WSM. In terms of true brute strength he was not up there with the strongest, which was evidenced in his Arnold Strongman appearances, in which he never came close to winning. People would also point out that he was probably on goodness knows what in terms of PEDs. But he wouldn't have been the only one doing that, I'm sure.
