Whenever I hear someone say an olympian is clean, I take it with a pinch of salt. Of course, I don't know, and I'd love to assume innocence, but it's pretty tough to believe. It's sad that this is the case, but disillusionment hits hard. Olympic weightlifting is to blame. Seeing my favourite lifters getting popped over the decades. 😕
I think the important point is that even if Joe is on some sort of PED (which is certainly possible), the fact that he has to be clean during regular testing means that he can’t be as blatantly on gear as pro strongmen. He is likely cleaner than Mitch, even if he isn’t fully clean.
I don't know the specifics of their testing, but some sports don't test for specific drugs, but rather hormonal ratios. This means you can in theory be drugged to the gills, but if your ratios are fine, you'll pass the test. I speak more historically from sports I followed, and I hope improvements are always continuing. That said, some sport are freak sports, and leaving them untested is likely the fair thing to do. Some sports are stock car racing, while others are modified. If Strongman became tested, it would be about who cheats the best, and injury rates would skyrocket due to performance disparity.
@@friceavors My brother im an amateur shot putter from greece...you can't say there are no steroids in track and field..i know athletes that cant even win the nationals in Greece and still are on gear... I've also know that the best guys in greece which the level is pretty low (best right now hits around 19,50m) are on gear too
Depends what they're training for but Lasha snatching 220+kg was pretty amazing even if he is a huge guy pushing 180kg bodyweight, just to see him Chuck 220kg in the air like that was insane
@@friceavors by knowing how to avoid testing... its not rocket science idk how but im sure theres people out there involved with elite athletes who knows how all that stuff works the man back in the 50s who was one of the pioneers on steroids in the soviet union... he said cheating a PED test is like stealing candy from a child... yes he said this in a interview or a video i saw....

So you have Hooper who is juicing and is legitimately one of the strongest men on the planet saying someone maybe stronger than him and you believe said person is clean? 😂😂
@@friceavors this doesn't mean a lot, for example Lance Armstrong passed 260 tests before he got caught, all top top athletes are on PEDs it's why they are top athletes.
Yeaaah Lance was also tested year after year in a tested competition then years later the tech evolved and he got cought..... Most likely same with this guy its Olympics after all, shitty testing is standard. Lasha got away with Winstrol. However this is still massivly impressive. Also dont forget the legend RICKY BRUCH!!!!
It all depends on the definition. Currently the title belongs toi someone who completed a series of competitions demonstrating various aspects of strength and power. It seems like a fair test. The world's best shot putter is the one who throws furthest. The Olympic champion is the one who does it on that particular day. Let's not confuse it with personal opinions, or we end up with the difference between THE truth and MY truth all over again.
just out of curiosity, have any atheletes in your sport ever considered or tried to compete in armwrestling? Brian Shaw recently competed and I think there is a great financial opportunity for guys getting in now considering that athletes in armwrestling tend to compete well into their 60s at a high level.
hey eric, sick video, just got a small question, im a 172cm thrower in both discus and shotput, is there anything I should be doing different in my throws compared to someone above 183cm?
Thank you for watching 🙏🏿 I would look for a Thrower that is similar in size and watch them. Everyone basically does stuff similar, but you have to figure out what works best for you 🙏🏿
@@friceavors really my guy? competing at the elite level to make a living and feed your family where winning is the only thing that matters against other elite athletes striving for the same goal who are on gear, but somehow this guy is natty because of.. ..moral reasons? being tested means absolutely nothing, regardless, i have a bridge to sell you
@friceavors So what? Lance Armstrong only got caught when he himself admitted to it... Also do you know about the Balco scandal? Do you really think that there are only a few countries in the world doing this? And also, do you seriously think that someone who is natural can come close strengthwise to people taking steroids, without him even specifically training for Powerlifting or Strongman? Guess what, the strongmen and powerlifters taking roids have elite genetics as well... Sure, Kovacs as a natural would already be stronger than most people on steroids, but we are not comparing him to the average steroid abuser, we are comparing him to the top of the top steroid users with elite genetics... Absolutely zero chance that he can be up there while being natty Edit: One more thing to consider about Lasha, after he came back from his ban and was now clean according to WADA, he broke the record that he set when he was caught... So essentially, his "natural" strength is supposedly higher than on steroids. Which makes absolutely zero sense, that just shows how bad testing actually is.
Shouldn't the worlds strongest man be the best power lifting total? You add the three best lifts and add them together. Strongman has a lot of stamina. Powerlifting has just strength. Stamina and speed or not as important as pure strength.
I highly doubt that any Olympic athlete can be juicing. The USADA & ITA are the ones testing them. It’s completely random and thorough. It’s not like a seasonal testing regiment either. It’s year round, constantly. He’s not Russian, he’s American (where they take doping BERY seriously). Some humans have insane strength with no steroids or PED’s. I personally know guys (from the local bodybuilding club) that bench 500+ pounds without even taking Tren or Test. Some humans just have extraordinary genetics and work ethic.
Saying height gives an advantage in shotput is like saying it gives an advantage in golf, baseball, disc golf, etc. It's not always the tallest guys throwing/hitting the furthers in these sports.
Wait so ur telling me Joe is 5’11 350!! I thought I was stocky at 255, thats preposterous. A natural winning Worlds Strongest Man would certainly be one of the best accomplishments in history
@@IbrahimAl-Khwarizmi hey sh.t for brains not one Olympic strength sport athlete is natural. They use different compounds, esters, masking agents etc to beat the tests. But you keep being delusional lol As for "weak" yes I am compared to "natural" Olympic strength sport athletes lol. Still have a powerlifting total of 1750lbs, what's yours?
Would Joe Kovacs win world’s strongest man? Perhaps in time but not for some years, there are too many beasts at the top right now for a strongman rookie to take over. Mitch respects Joe a great deal (they just did an overhead press colab) and Joe is clearly gorilla strong and very althletic. However at less then 6’ tall, Joe would be at an extreme disadvantage compared to the behemoths in strongman. Mitch is a literal shrimp at 6’3” and around 350lbs.

@@friceavors I'm not saying they are "drug cheat" because everybody does it. I'm just saying don't even mention if he is natty or not. No one is asking or wondering if he is.

You just look bad if you pretend like we are all dumb. And people pass driving tests and get their licenses but that doesn't mean they know how to drive... a test is just a tool to TRY to filter.
Mitch is such a hater. As soon as he loses the worlds strongest man, he makes a video calling someone who didnt even compete, the strongest man, instead of the REAL strongest man, the guy that beat him to get the title of worlds strongest man. Haterade 😂😂
It's genuinely insulting to our intelligence to sit there with a straight face telling us he's a "clean" athlete just because he hasn't tested positive, while throwing strongmen under the bus. He equals strongmen in general power, so if he did hop on gear, he'd immediately be stronger than them all right? He's just more morally sound than those gear heads is all
I wasn’t throwing strongman under the bus. It is open that you are allowed to use performance enhancing drugs. Maybe Joe is different from all of the other strongman. He has never tested positive
@friceavors You were. The implication was, since there isn't testing, they're as strong as they are because they are free to take steroids. Whereas this guy is as strong as them while being a "clean" athlete. You're taking them down a peg in order to make this guy more impressive. The other implication being that he would be stronger if he took gear.
Lol hes clean cause he is an olypian, cause no one has beat Olympic testing ever. Why bother saying this shit???? Chances are pretty much 100% he has used gear in his life and who cares
@friceavors im not accusing him, purely making the point that clean tests arent worth the paper they are printed on. Lance Armstrong never tested positive test either, howd that turn out. The system is easily circumvented. Personally i believe nothing should be banned, would be the most fair approach of any. Lets see what the absolute peak of human evolution looks like
Hes definitely far far from being the worlds strongest man. And 100% not clean and neither are you. Olympics has been exposed infinity times for being geared UP. But hes pretty strong.
@christian35100 don’t project your inadequacies on other people because you can’t bench more than 200 pounds, so now everyone must be on roids 😂😂 you’ve got to be a troll. Go touch grass

Mitch is such a hater. As soon as he loses the worlds strongest man, he makes a video calling someone who didnt even compete, the strongest man, instead of the REAL strongest man, the guy that beat him to get the title of worlds strongest man. Haterade 😂😂
Sheesh! I didn’t know that 😂
It's genuinely insulting to our intelligence to sit there with a straight face telling us he's a "clean" athlete just because he hasn't tested positive, while throwing strongmen under the bus. He equals strongmen in general power, so if he did hop on gear, he'd immediately be stronger than them all right? He's just more morally sound than those gear heads is all
I wasn’t throwing strongman under the bus. It is open that you are allowed to use performance enhancing drugs. Maybe Joe is different from all of the other strongman. He has never tested positive
@friceavors You were. The implication was, since there isn't testing, they're as strong as they are because they are free to take steroids. Whereas this guy is as strong as them while being a "clean" athlete. You're taking them down a peg in order to make this guy more impressive. The other implication being that he would be stronger if he took gear.
kovacs is as smart as he is strong
He is!!
KOVACS= PAUL ANDERSON 2.0
Who is Paul Anderson?
Pure b s
What’s pure bs?
@@friceavors living in fantasy world
A clean pro athlete 😂😂😂 & then justifies his statement by saying the dude has been drug tested. Poppycock & Fiddlesticks.
He has never failed a drug test!
Lol hes clean cause he is an olypian, cause no one has beat Olympic testing ever. Why bother saying this shit???? Chances are pretty much 100% he has used gear in his life and who cares
He’s never tested positive 🤷🏿♂️
@friceavors im not accusing him, purely making the point that clean tests arent worth the paper they are printed on. Lance Armstrong never tested positive test either, howd that turn out. The system is easily circumvented. Personally i believe nothing should be banned, would be the most fair approach of any. Lets see what the absolute peak of human evolution looks like
Obviously not all time clean, not that anything is wrong with that, but please stop spreading misinformation
He has never tested positive though
Hes definitely far far from being the worlds strongest man. And 100% not clean and neither are you. Olympics has been exposed infinity times for being geared UP. But hes pretty strong.
That’s a bold statement! I could show you my past drug test from this last year!
@christian35100 don’t project your inadequacies on other people because you can’t bench more than 200 pounds, so now everyone must be on roids 😂😂 you’ve got to be a troll. Go touch grass
Makes a video literally on a mf making the video
It’s called UA-cam inception 😭
@friceavors watched ur other vids and u got ur own content my bad lol, thought this was another channel that lets another video play out and they just talk a little about it
"clean" athlete at the moment of testing. No way he's lifetime natural
That’s your opinion, he has never tested positive!
@@friceavors Lance Armstrong as well
@@friceavors impressive either way, natural or enhanced
