But I doubt that more than 0.01% of the internet users know about Eddie vs Hafthor rivalry. Heck I'll even bet there are more people who know Hafthor as the Mountain than as the strongman athlete. It's like Crossfit, people know it's about doing crazy athletic stuff and some clips are somewhat viral, but not that many people actually care about the sport much less who are competing in it.

      Not really, they still struggle to do basic yardwork because lifting a tool or digging uses the other half of their muscles that they never specifically worked out. That's the difference between bodybuilding and strength. I've got more core strength than most even though I don't go to the gym because of my hobbies.

    So cool you did a video on strongman! I love your videos.
    I know your content is primarily humor but there's a lot of factual information in here and as one of the best middleweight competitors to ever do it (myself, winning 6 National championships), I will say not standardizing or sharing the stone dimensions is a really interesting idea with one fault, it would disadvantaging those that do not have the prior knowledge of the dimensions, the information would almost definitely be leaked to an athlete or two and give an even worse discrepancy in advantage to those one or two individuals.
    Keep doing what you do, I love your stuff! If you wanted to do a weight class edition of this there is a ton of humor you could incorporate. I'd be happy to help you with that.
    Best wishes,
    Zack McCarley

    Mariusz Pudzianowski. A dozen or so years of starts. A sports phenomenon. Repeatability of successes over the years, over a decade. Something unbelievable! Every week we sat down, as if we were in a soap opera, to watch this competition. A sociological phenomenon! How many things could be attributed to him during this career? That you can clearly win in life without any compromises. That he is a reliable and solid man, a messenger of great news and great hope. He started as a crisis idol who was to lead us as an ambassador of a wonderful civilizational leap to Europe. A social phenomenon. After all, thanks to these transmissions, we lived a vicarious life. He was a source of great collective joy.

    Pudzianowski is actually the goat. He won for the first time straight out of jail, he was in jail for assaulting a mafia boss, he got into the mafia cirle by accident and was too good of a person to be any use for them so they just let him go. Absolute legend

    • @TheJa12346
      @TheJa12346 Рік тому +1

      A story I heard from him on some fitness expo once was that he got to know some mafia people, which he didn't know about at the time, and they wanted him to get money from some guy that owed them like 2k. He went to the guy and after going into his house and meeting him he knew that no matter what he'd do to this guy he wouldn't have the money but he noticed a car outside. After talking for a bit the guy told him that the car doesn't run but he'd be willing to sell it to pay off the debt. Mariusz then diagnosed the car for a bit, went to buy a new battery and some other bits (for his own money lol) and then got the car running and sold it for the guy. After a whole day he came back with the money to the mafia guys and they were wondering how tf he got money from him, cause they just wanted Mariusz to beat him up for not having it, and what took him the whole day. He told them the whole story and they just sighed and told him. Bro, you're too good for this, get the fuck. And he only later found out they were associated with the mafia. I don't remember how the jail story went but it was some movie shit too lmao
