    Sciatica is -no- joke. It’d some of the worst pain I’ve ever felt. It’s weird that I even found your UA-cam channel. I’m 54 years old with rheumatoid arthritis since the age of 16. Power lifting or strong man content isn’t my normal interest, but I caught your Sumo video and was hooked. Others have said it, but you’ve got a style reminiscent of Anthony Bourdain in the very best ways.
    Best of luck in healing, and I hope your training for the coming year goes smoothly. Great new travels loom ahead for you, and that means great videos for all of us!

    You’re still one of the best strongmen ever, especially with your WSM 2019 win against the strongest guys of the era at their peak! This victory is probably what caused a lot of your current injuries to become worse. But you’re also so much more than that, and it’s also important to know that you can devote yourself to your other passions outside of strongman. Come back to strongman when you’re ready to win Martins, and we’ll be here for all of your other journeys too!
    Edit: Because the magnitude of Licis’s WSM 2019 win is being debated in the comments, here’s an explanation: 1) Regarding Hadthor’s injury: this is something that’s been blown WAY out of proportion. A plantar fascial injury is not what most medical professionals would call a “severe injury.” Hafthor got injured very late in the competition, when he had stacked a lot of his points. Besides, injury is part of the sport, and if you get injured, that means you weren’t prepared to compete and win healthily. Hafthor also implies during his and Martins’s training leading up to WSM that Licis is stronger than him currently.
    2) Yes, many of the top guys during that year were at or near their peak: Brian had won WSM only 2 years before, Hafthor was at his physical peak for strongman, Mateusz was coming second in nearly every other major show and had nearly zero injuries. Then you had guys like the Stoltmans, Trey Mitchell, and JF Caron (who noted that Martins’s WSM victory was the most dominant of all time in terms of Finals points: 46/50). Martins is one of the all time greatest Strongmen, no doubt.

    • @thomasrosendahl2783

    This news just made my week! There is something so magical about your Strength Unknown series. Your humility, vulnerability, and passion create such a natural environment to share others strength stories. Not only is it informative and entertaining but heartwarming and motivating. Your content is miles apart from the other youtubers, it is more of an HBO docuseries level. I can't wait to see what you guys have in store for us and can't wait to be inspired to be a stronger human myself! Safe travels brothers!
