Happy Holidays everyone!
W bag L sponsor tho just look at the criticism factor gets
Romarks D1ck was on full display during stonelift
I found a web article once that said the boxer Floyd Mayweather will NEVER eat food that has been microwaved. Of course, he has a personal chef who makes all his meals fresh.
The point is, that some believe that microwaving food destroys all the nutritional value that may have been there, so you're literally eating "dead" food.
I'm Hawaiian and Japanese and I have to tell you guys that I really appreciate how much respect you have shown to my cultures and I love through tales of strength you have highlighted some of the most badass parts of both. 🙏💪
You nerfed your genetics bro. Japanese are like 5ft tall and Polynesians are like 7. Should've mixed Polynesian with Icelandic or Senegal or something
@@Matt-jc2ml I don't think people make kids to experiment with genetics 😂 But height is only one parameter, it helps with some things, it does not with some others. It would all be up to the person what they want to be and to do, if the height helps or hinders.
@@Leitosssssss Hawaiian and Senegalese could be hw champion of the world. Nobody is taking his lunch money
@@Matt-jc2ml Senegalese wrestlers are definitely top tier. lol. We should see a senegal vs Japan vs Hawaii wrestling match.
@@Leitosssssss IT IS THE VERY REASON WHY WE HAVE DEFORMED LOOKING INCELS TODAY WHO CANT SCORE. IF only people gave a second critical thought in what comes in choosing their partner we wouldn't have such a high percentage of lonely men rejected from society. Anyone who actually makes it out of the pond I hope they read my comment to not make their parent's mistake.
tldr : incels are the product of men thinking with their penises
It continues to surprise me how stone is the link that unites man around the world between unconnected populations. An inert element and at the same time so linked to life.
Hawaiians are a very strong race, both women and men. They have an admirable constitution.
As always, greetings from Basque lands.
Not just stone but also wrestling. So many cultures have their own form of wrestling.
@@baddestgamerr
No, in Basque culture we do not have any type of wrestling. However, stone lifting and other types of rural sports, yes.
@@QuehuevohtengoMore cultures have wrestling than stonelifting
@@salj.5459 lifting stones were exercises for some wrestlers to have strong grip
@@grimkaripa0830 Yes of course, but less cultures have stonelifting as its own competitive sport compared to wrestling. Also, back in the day I'm sure many wrestlers got the strength they needed just from doing general labor
YES! Good to see you fellas back at it! Big thanks to Romark for all he does. Production, camera work, research etc. Unsung hero.
Edit: I posted this comment before I watched the video and saw Romark just be totally fucking awesome for 20 mins. So, gents, we getting a show out of this or what? There's a weird strengthy Bordain shaped hole for people who give a shit and want to talk to people. Food was his vehicle, strength can be yours. Really it's about meeting people and talking and sharing. You guys get that.
Thank you for the kind words my friend. I tried my best!
Yes yes a million times yes!! Bourdain paved the road and many other amazing content creators are now driving it❤
@@romarkweiss1795 Dude, you crushed it as always. But it was extra fun seeing you just making it all work. So much kudos (no shade to Martins btw :P )
Romark is quickly transitioning from unsung hero to sung hero, and he goddamn deserves it.
It’s in the works!
You should do a episode on Fiji/Tonga/Samoa about their rugby culture those boys epitomise our sport and are some of the very best
Those 3 islands total populations may be a million? But they produce some of the best athletes in rugby. Kids of Samoan n Tongan decent in America have a 60 percent higher chance to make the NFL compared to other races.
@@dirkdiggler8794 genetically they are perfect for contact sports like rugby and NFL. Very gifted athletes for sure
@@dirkdiggler8794 amazing isn’t it, certain small genetic pools produce incredible athletes! Tonga, Samoa and Fiji like you said with rugby and NFL then the likes of Iceland with just straight power/strength athletes. Interesting stuff
Production value of this show far exceeds that of what gets produced on TV now! I'm happy to see more personalities developed! Romark popping off!!
You are doing good work, Martins.
Him&Romark are doing great* work lol yes
I think this is one of the best narrated shows ever. You have a future with that as well
Martins isn't the most poetic man that's ever lived, but his passion and respect are second to none. The man adores and respects the heck out of every people and culture.
That's what makes this series so good!
Thank you so much for the showcase of the unknown strength of my people! 🤙
As my Kupuna kane always told me
"ikaika e like me na mauna a me ka hoomaha ole e like me na ale"
"Be as strong as the mountains and restless as the waves"
Man. I love Hawaii and Polynesia so much. Such beautiful places. I love places where everyone contributes to maintaining the natural environment.
Wow I wasn't expecting more strength unknown lol, sick
Hope you visit Samoa one day! Would be cool to see you visit the Olympic lifting team!
Martins and Romark, Both of you never cease to amaze me not just in your feats of strength and determination, which are otherworldly on their own, but in your ceaseless ability to be amazing ambassadors of not only strength and sport, but of humanity. You relate to people of all nationalities with an openness and peace that I think really exemplifies the best attributes of us all. In almost every video in this series, I reluctantly find myself moved to tears by people from every corner of the planet setting and achieving goals of strength and watching the triumph and elation on their face. It makes me strive for my own sense of accomplishment and stokes my desire to achieve something for myself. Thank you so very much for your tireless dedication. I truly hope the right people see this and enable you to make these episodes longer and even more immersive.
Love this comment ❤❤
This strength series have been an absolute banger. Beautiful footage, filled with culture and knowledge. Thats A+ content, guys 💪 🙏
Brother, I never thought you would ever come to the Islands and show the world our games. Thank you and all the best in the future 🤙🤙
More to come!
This series is beautiful. Really showing the amazing cultures around the world.
Martins is a world class narrator! Great video!
The Pacific islanders are strong, many of the world's strongest powerlifters, strongmen, weightlifters, rugby players, throwers and sumo wrestlers hail from these tiny island nations.
Also nice to catch glimpses of world record holding powerlifters Stacia Cambra competing in the woman's events.
I don't think that is true. Yes they are defnitely one of the strongest people on the planet, just naturally strong but unfornately they are under represented in sports like powerlifting, olympic lifting, strongmen. They usually seem to go for rugby. Name 1 known pacific islander in the top 10 or even 20 strongman, powerlifting, or olympic lifting. As for sumo and throwing, i am not familiar with that.
@@elafzal5866 Eddie Williams, Rongo Keane, Jezza Uepa, Odell Manuel
Just to name a few there are many more: Tsiode Febrose, Karlina Tongatea, Bessie O'brian, Bradina Anae, Dina Hakeai, Jewel Tasi, Natalie Laalaai, Derek Boyer, and of course in Sumo from Haiwii and American Samoa 2 Yokozuna and 1 Ozeki (1st and second higest ranks). Konishki, Musashimaru and Akibono.@@mulletdude9833
@@elafzal5866I think what he's saying is that there are proportionately a lot of strong athletes from these areas for how few of them are in sports, which I believe is true.
@@elafzal5866 Last year, Isaac Silva of Hawaii competed in the Sub Master Division at the WABDL Championships, taking home the State, National and World title for this division for the official Raw bench press. Being a fan of University of Hawaii Football, one of my idols as a kid was Joe Onosai who went on to play for the Dallas Cowboys and would later qualify for the World's Strongest Man competition four times and reached the finals twice in 1994 (7th place) and 1995 (9th place). Onosai has official USPF drug tested bests of 843.2 pound squat, 711 pound deadlift and a 628 pound bench. As far as female competitors, in 2022, Hawaiian Bradina Anae set the all-time drug tested female record for the squat, bench-press and deadlift. Closer to home, a friend of the family who recently passed away, Francis Silva, who was born in Western Samoa and raised in Hawaii, had official USPF drug tested bests of 804.7 pound squat, 655.8 pound deadlift and 579 pound bench-press. Not bad for a tiny state like Hawaii, where this video was filmed.
Yes! I just sat down with dinner and saw you posted this. Great content Martins and crew, thanks for making it! :)
Just found your channel, this Strength Unknown content is amazing and so well produced, narrated, edited, and educational.
Very different from other Strongman content I've seen before.
Love it!
Love Martins, Romark and the team!
You guys are absolutely killing it!
This content could easily be on the history channel or Netflix.
I can't come up with enough words to explain how awesome this channel is.
Great work Martins, Romark and the team!
You all knock it out of the park every single time.
Just banger after banger.
Such a beautiful episode. Thank your martins, romark, the whole crew, as well as alll of those willing to share their culture so openly
Thoroughly enjoyed all of this series, great work fellas.
Keep up the great content Martins 💪
Amazing. You guys just keep getting better at these productions! Good luck at The Arnolds Martins!
Y’all have something special here, thank you for your hard work.
Love this channel!
These videos are brilliant. Please continue to produce them.
great journalism with no like pandering or spectacle. this is good work and deserves more subs
These are so powerful showing off lost traditions of lifting is so cool keep it up. Just amazing.
Big cheers to Romark!!
I just wanted to say your documentaries are wonderful. You choose such interesting subjects and the camerawork and presentation is exemplary.
Well done. I honestly can’t think of anyone doing better stuff on the site at the moment. Please keep up the amazing work ❤️
Awesome events! I love how old traditions are being kept alive. Martins, keep 'em coming! I'm looking forward to the next one.
If you wanna see a really heavy ass stone, come to Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii and try to flip the Naha Stone.
I love this series. Keep up the great work team!
Love the content guys! As being part japanese and kanaka maoli, tahitian and maori these last few episodes have hit home for me.
I love delves into culture like this. Testing ourselves and pushing ourselves to new heights is truly the most human thing.
This is absolutely the best and most underrated series on the whole internet.
What an amazing video. I've never even heard of this competition. Great job Romark that was some incredible footage and editing.
This series is fantastic!!! You've become the Anthony Bourdain of the strength world. Can't wait for a new episode.
As usual, production values that would make a major producer jealous. You bois are bloody incredible. Martins and Romark just constantly killing it!
Absolutely love these videos!!
That tree climbing is unbelievable!
A thing of beauty 💜 Thank you again for a great episode 🤩
Awesome! I suggested this on another video you did so I’m stoked to see it covered! Right on and thanks for covering it in the epic way you guys have been doing 🔥🔥🔥
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Strength Unknown series! Go deeper into these cultures please They are all awesome!
Thats it! My day has been made seeing a new strength unknown episode!!! hats off, all have been great !
What a great video thank you all involved in the making of this event and video yet another spotlight on traditional strength games 🇦🇺🙏🏻🎅🏼
Thank you for being such an interesting athlete. It is inevitable fans want to get to know you outside of your strongman performances. Unlike some other competitors, I have no regrets clicking your content.
More than anything I want to see Martins getting involved and trying all these things!
❤❤❤ another great video - I loved this ❤❤❤
Please keep them coming!
This channel fulfills a need I didn't know I have.
This was filmed and made on the whole really well. Thank you!
Thank you for bringing a glimpse of, indeed, “this remarkable place.” I’m not from there. However, I consider Hawaii my true home. Whenever I can, I’m there. It’s been 2 years. A month from tomorrow, I’ll be there. Bliss. Soul, mind and heart cleansing. Be kind. Always.
You do some majestic content. The beauty of these people are breathtaking.
The best thing about these ancient strength sports is that most people who still do them are purely natural. As a European it is so annoying to see EVERYBODY is at least on trt and other roids these days. Love to see other strong pure naturals who deadlift 300kg and honour the culture of their forebears
Thanks for visiting, boss. Come back anytime. CHEEEEE HOOOOOOOO
more than anything i love how these videos give us a glimpse into different cultures around the globe.
Hawaiian culture looks so rich and different to what i‘m familiar with.
Also, i love this kind of content where different team members are in different locations :)
Another great one! 👏🏻👏🏻
Very well done as always, thanks!! This really relaxes after 12h work day :)
As a Kiwi it was great to hear some reo maori on this channel. Loving this Strength Unknown series!
On a global scale.. noone cares about dead languages
This must be on Discovery or on the History chanel. The content quality, the narration and even the voice of Martins are amazing
Thank you Martins and Romark for another amazing video in this remarkable series you guys have put together! Can’t wait for the next video!! ❤️ ☮️
I bet the after-party for this event would have been beautiful. I can just imagine the banquet laid out, the voices of many nations joined in harmony, the dancing and laughter. Good stuff.
This strength series is amazing 🙌🏻, love seeing all the different cultures of nations, both in feats strength, community, spirituality etc.. Also some badass strong women in this vid which is always awesome to see, keep up the great content man 🤙🏻
Amazing series!
That was really AWESOME! I really want to try the stone to shoulder!

What a great video. Thank you! I'd love to try my hand lifting their stones.
That is some really awesome culture rich games. Damn good to see this awesome content you two are sharing with the rest of us.
fantastic Martin! huge fan of this.. we need this type of docu series for sure. My only request would be that if possible could you use a Gyro stabilizing mount (please...) cause the handheld has to much movement and it kinda makes you dizzy.. Thats all, please continue to take us in the world of strength in a way that only you could! Thank you so much to the entire team..Huge fan.
🎉🎉🎉thank you
Dude this intro is sooooo goooood!!!
You guys rock!
Very moving , Respect .
Awesome video
