    Mateusz is working on his deadlift, really hope he gets his win.

      If he could just hit 1000lbs he would have titles by now

      @a-a-rondavis9438 6 місяців тому +1

      Lol, I doubt he will to the extent of PR's. He simply won't train or push the squat/deadlift to the point where it's viable for competition. He does however, have a disadvantaged build with a long torso and shorter arms. That will affect you just as much as not having optimal training. People like JF Caron, Mark Felix, Shaw, Thor, and even Eddie Hall were built for the deadlift (he has a 6'8" wingspan at 6'2").

      @oceanbanana4341 not even. Bobby Thompson and Mitch Hooper are the top pullers now and neither got to 1000 at the last arnold.
      He probably would do it with 920-930.
      He's won all events in a strongman comp TWICE, took almost last place on a deadlift, and lost the comp.

      In one of his latest videos, Mateusz said that he is working on his deadlift because he knows that’s is weakness. If he can get his DL up to 440kg that would be great.

    I went the last ten years but I think I’m gonna take this upcoming year off. I paid for premium seats last year but every time you went to the bathroom someone from the nosebleeds stole your seat. It’s cool that the strongman have their own area now but you can’t see the rest of the expo. There’s no easy way to leave and come back you have to wait in line each time to re-enter. Meh I’ll go to the Shaw classic instead.

    Interested on how Thor will show up. Obviously, he knows what it takes to win. I doubt he would show up if he did not think he could win. Can’t wait to watch it. Such a Great Lineup. I think Evan Singleton has a great chance of winning. I am biased though. He’s now my favorite American strongman lol. Mitch Hooper, though to me is the favorite.

      Bobby is easily the most overrated strongman that isn't Graham Hicks.
      He has a very good deadlift and log press...and the rest is mediocre to awful.
      However, in the Arnold, that's 18-20 points and good enough for a 5th place finish even if he zeroes everything else.
