Definite contender for the overall powerlifting total if he focused on the sport
He has the potential, as you say just needs to focus on it.
Love seeing the under 6 foot guys doing well at heavyweight.
Hi, I hope he gives it another shot this year
Absolutely
He's a very solid pro strongman, but I can't help but think he has more potential as a powerlifter, just based on his frame.
Hi Simon, given his stature you could be right.
He's such a quiet, humble, Guy I hope he does more Powerlifting I hope his first final at WSM will boost his confidence he's still dangerous at any Strongman event.
Hey mike, would be nice to see him grab a major title
I love these videos because their rate of development is always so intriguing to me. They all usually have premium muscle building/strength genetics from the get go- and then they just fucking mutate at some stage and the sky’s the limit from there
Thanks Nick, appreciated
1.78 and 163 kgs....imagine how many years of sacrifice behind that. Really amazing!!!!
Graham is static power and well rounded strongman athlete. Legend
Absolutely agree
Same total as Thor but 40 extra pounds in bench and he missed his final lifts. What a beast.
Absolutely, just doesn't seem to get as much attention as other strongmen
@@StrengthUniverse .....it’s because of all the casuals fanboying Eddie and Thor lol.
@@seangentri8878 True, but you could say the same about Thor, missed his final deadlift and squat (controversially) and has 44 pounds on Graham's deadlift.
@@TheJoker-yz8dv ....Of course Thor has a higher deadlift than Graham. That’s common knowledge. The fact that Graham outperforms Thor at bench, log, and most upper body and overhead disciplines at a much lighter body weight is what is impressive here. Additionally Graham’s squats looked better in my opinion and he was pushing the same weight.
@@seangentri8878 In fairness both are WSM winners and in Thor's case a bunch of other major titles. Hicks is an absolute beast and a great guy but surely we can appreciate all.
Excellent analysis of Graham and his competitions. Love all these videos. Thank you.
Hey Ollie, thanks for your support as always. Glad you enjoyed it!
He is very good 👏💪👍👍🏵
One of the strongest static monsters left in the game! Wish there more were of the likes of him, with eddie, hafthor and big z gone he is the only one left i feel like:(
It does seem like that, some competitions seem to go us on dynamic events too much.
While I largely agree, Shaw, JF Caron and Iron Bibby are still incredible static strength athletes.
Aside from Eddie Hall, I think Graham Hicks is also another static monster that I much more appreciate since he proves the under 6 ft guy could compete in such a monster size comps
Hicksey is a static beast!
Yes, definitely, I think he's very close to Eddie on Static strength.
They should have given him that second lift in the bench press. He got it all the way up under his own power.
I thought it was a good lift as the weight didn't drop, it was just slower to move on one side. harsh
I like the background music you used
Thanks Sam👍
Awesome work today brother. I didn’t realize that 2020 WSM was the first time he made the finals out of the qualifiers. It’s a shame he was injured though. He is a great athlete.
Hey, thank you. He's had some bad luck over the years and I think his height hasn't helped but he's definitely one of the best statically.
Very interesting video 💪
Thank you 🙌
Thanks sir for that Research
Thanks you, much appreciated 👍
Oh my God, he looked so good!
Not sure how to answer that LOL
Great video as always, I believe Graham can become a static monster just like Hall if kept injury free. I'd love to see a comparison between the Open WSM Oleksii Novikov versus the u105kg WSM Anthony Fuhrman.
Thanks Sean, The comparison maybe possible, I'll have to see how many comparative events I can find
@@StrengthUniverse your best bet for any videos on Fuhrman would be on the official strongman games yt. They post the world games there.
Muito forte em força estática
How strong? YES.
Hi Sage, thank you 👍
good
Thanks👍
🦁💪🦁💪🦁💪🦁💪🦁
Thanks Gassan👍
I think he is able to break the Logliftrecord. By the way: he has his own UA-cam channel.
He does now, not when I made this video
Can you do another video because he hit 440kg for 2 reps in 1 of his latest video
Really possible if he keeps the pace with this speed, that we may see the next Eddie Hall (possible even stronger because of his shorter limbs).
Just needs to add a few Kg to Squat and improve his grip strength.
@@StrengthUniverse thank you for the reply, and yes I agree!
He may have a few years yet, many powerlifters hit there best numbers in their late 30's
"Because of weakness on his left side he fails the lift." I'm confused by that. In powerlifting the bar has to be parallel to the floor the entire lift? Or was there something else which happened I missed?
Still feels like he has one more notch he needs to hit to hang with with the best out there. He's close but still has a little more to go. Is it the moving events that's holding him back? Reminds me of smaller Eddie but I think Eddie was a little faster in the moving events.
He was very good dynamically earlier. I think his speed has suffered as he has bulked up.
No doubt in my mind that hicks has the potential for an atwr at shw .
sets 220kg EU log record ; doesnt even celebrate LOL
I think he wanted the WR
I don’t understand . He seems much better suited to powerlifting than strongman. Why does he not transition to powerlifting ?
He's just not that interested in it
I'm a fan of Hicks and I luv watching Strongman but that aside as a powerlifter myself I compete in powerlifting where we get drug tested and I'm totally against steraroid users competing in powerlifting as powerlifting should be pure and natural but I'm not taking anything away of what strongmen do the training the food intake but different sports strongmen don't get drug tested and when people compete in my sport that's drug tested and they're on the gear I have no respect for that
Hi S, I appreciate what you are saying but Powerlifting has numerous tested and non-tested federations so I don't think it's an issue although I am sure there are plenty of guys that cheat, use PED's, come off a cycle a week or two before the contest so they can pass the test.
@@StrengthUniverse fair point we're kinda at a point in all sports who is natural it's rife
"Lanacshire" 🤣
