The Arnold Strongman Classic is held in Ohio and Ohio has a plethora of wind farms especially from Columbus all the way to Michigan. Wind energy is so popular up there you can see residential homes equipped with mini versions of those big ones in the background. As for the pillars I guess they're there for interpretation.
5:08 And from Bulgaria, Dimitar Savatinov Mark: "one of my favorites" Mark: "I choose favorites" *Dimitar walks by not acknowledging Mark* *Mark dies inside* Mark: "Good job big man"
So mutherfucken true... CT: "History is being made right. You & only you can lift this shit. I command you to pick it up not once but as many times as you can. Whooo..." That's what CT would sound like. What a legend...
Be realistic. That would not be fair to any of the competitors or the fans. Brad is on another level. It's why they don't have sprinters race cars in the Olympics. It would ruin it and of course the car would win. These are very strong men, but still human. Brad is something else. And Brad has a confirmed 1,900lb axle press under competition.
The fact that Mark Henry actually cleaned this bar, with a proper clean, not the hitch/strongman style, makes his feat even more incredible. And three full clean and press reps in 2 minutes on top of that. Crazy.
The Commentator is Mark Henry he won the first Arnold strongman back in 2002. First guy to lift the Apollon Wheels when it was resurrected as an event in 2002. ua-cam.com/video/ouVZzJ9TH1M/v-deo.htmlm40s Also introduced as in the first event too ua-cam.com/video/AohPS_wvPMg/v-deo.htmlm2s
"First from Estonia ... sorry Slovenia ... Rauno Heinla" "Belsak walks out."I legitimately fell off my chair when I heard that the first time, still laughing. how can you nit recognize a guy after literally announcing his name all day for two days?

The commentators are so dull and low energy that it makes strong man seem unprofessional and cheap.Get some better commentators that are higher energy and know what they are doing.

This would be the only event where he could be good at. Other than that BIG Z is now pretty much behind his best and his injuries are holding him back and will not let him win his 5th WSM. Age is something you cannot stop and i guess Z knows that as well. Last year WSM showed it perfectly where he ended up on 6th or 7th position?
If Mateusz Kieliskowski can stay relatively injury free, he can definitely become the next Pudzianowski. I wonder if he feels any pressure from that since they're both from Poland or if he's tired of being compared to him.
My dad and I watch WSM every Christmas. We noticed him in the 2016 event and were impressed with his performance despite his young age. Typically it's guys in their late 20s to mid 30s that win these sorts of events because that's when a person's strength hits its peak. Assuming he stays injury-free like you said, I'd say he'll be a legit contender in 3-5 years. It's impressive he's competitive despite being only 24.
If he can get his deadlift up he will clean house with the competition! He came on 2nd at the 2018 by a few points and he only did 3 lifts on the car deadlift with the winners getting 12. Imagine if he had a relative deadlift. I dont understand how his deadlift can be among the weakest of all the competitors yet he still takes 2nd place overall.
On September 13, 1949 American weightlifter John Davis lifted the original barbell. He competed in the 198 pound weight class and was a two time Olympic champion. He was also a twelve time U. S. champion.
Its too bad Arnold wouldn't commentate this... The guys they chose are really bad, the random small talk and facts they put out there is just annoying. And yes, Brian Shaw, just amazing. Makes alot of this stuff look easy.
I'm 38 years old, I start to train this two weeks ago with 60 kilograms of weight. In 2 maximum 4 years I am going to play train and dance with this weight.
do your reserach,..mark henry was in his time king of the axle...he set a record for some time...he lifted 180kg at that time it nobody does...and he lifted it like a paper bag
those eye rollin and twitching is from eating way too much food, i forgot how it's called but it's a condition...and yeah i agree, he doesn't look very healthy...
He literally looks like he has pushed his body to the absolute limit, it cannot get any bigger or hold anymore weight. He is at severe risk looks like.
Don't worry, he's got that jesuscross around his neck and he allways prays before a lift. He's def gonna make every other strongman look like a speck right?
More compensation is needed for these events. 1st place isn't bad but the other guys need more to make this more worthwhile and fairly reward the insane amount of effort that goes into these feats
Thor is in another league these days. He has come so far with his static strength it's crazy. He genuinely is stronger than Brian Shaw these days and Brian knows it. Thor WILL WIN the WSM this year, guaranteed.
Thor deserved it. I was hoping for my man Brian Shaw but I have seen Thor place second so many times its good for him to finally take first. Good show.
First announcer: “Please give ‘em all the energy you can give ‘em.” I don’t know, should we clap? 🤣 Second announcer: “Estonia.. Slovenia, sorry.” 😱 The he conks the other guy with his flag pole. 🤣 If this is how it starts out!! Wowzer, who hired these guys, who coordinated this? Wasn’t Arnold himself lol
Actually that's incorrect. He was awarded 3.5 points for this event, tied with Brian Shaw according to the official standings. He did lock out, but wasn't able to hold it.
Thank you Rogue Fitness for providing this video, very much appreciated! Always a pleasure to watch these fantastic athletes. What happened to Eddie Hall? I expected to see him here.... Brian Shaw: American Legend. Hafthor Bjornsson: Icelandic Legend. The strength that these men possess is extraordinary. Anyone who has been around and worked with truly STRONG men, will appreciate how powerful these men really are. That some athletes don't make great commentators, who would nit pick over that? Not anyone who is watching for the right reason, after all, it's not like anyone watching this video is paying to see it...... Mark Henry is a great American Strong Man.
To be fair, he was wrong in what principal he used as well. Centripetal force is what draws a moving mass in given its bound to a center point, while centrifugal force is the reactive force given Newtons third law. What makes the event hard is the tangental force which applies a torque given the mass moment of inertia exerted by the rotating weights. Hes also a shit commentator
Eddie Hall is not interested in this anymore he said he is now retairing from strongman maybe he will be on WSM but i guess he is now too busy with his bussiness. I think he choosed well cause now it's Thor who is the strongest and he will rule the WSM as well.
I don't think that thor was robbed. 15th rep was not clean and he knows that. But you got the point last year WSM was clearly made for Eddie Hall 3 out of 6 events were those which he is best in = deadlift, Squat, and pushpress (viking press). He is great static strongman but when it comes to movement he is very average and with that said tyre flip 6th, plane pull 3rd and atlas stones 4th ... but overall he did deserve it. But in my eyes Thor would have win last year WSM if he didn't had his disease ( half paralized face) he just could not breathe smoothly and that was his handicap and still ended up on 2nd. Brian also had some issues with his hamstring i guess but i think reason why he ended up on 3rd was that he is now also a father and that's something that is holding him little bit back i think.

Tomas Sikora , you are correct .. Thor was behind Eddie by just 1 point whereas Brain was 2 points behind Thor ..
You do realise the ref' for the Viking press at WSM was Magnus Ver Magnusson. Also to insinuate that the events were tailored to suit Eddie specifically is retarded on so many levels. If your the strongest it shouldn't matter what the events are, they had tyre flip and plane pull and the Viking press was for reps not max all of which are typically *not* Eddies best events one of which he won anyway with time to spare. By your thinking that would mean any comp with a loading race or throwing event is tailored for Thor? Don't be a tool and just accept that Edd has two world records and the 2017 WSM title fair and square.
Mark Henry explained the axel is 400 pounds...how much did the "wheels" or plates weight /each? Amazing what a difference where the weight is put makes. So many smaller guys out there able to clean/press 400 pounds but using the usual weightlifting bar/plates.
It's 400 pounds including the wheels. What makes it so much harder than 400 lbs in weightlifting is that the wheels don't rotate, and the bar is thick as hell.
What should we put in the background?
"Roman columns and windmills"
Umm...Okay, sure...
😂😂
Hahahahahahah didnt even notice wtf😂😂

Yeah, the background is a bit annoying

And from Bulgaria, Dimitar Savatinov
Mark: "one of my favorites"
Mark: "I choose favorites"
*Dimitar walks by not acknowledging Mark*
*Mark dies inside*
Mark: "Good job big man"
He probably doesn't speak enough English to understand, and only some of the competitors shook hands with the commentators
Mark: now! from Chicago Italy! Mariusz Kazmaier! I mean Zydrunas Sigmarsson!! *Jerry Pritchett walks out confused as hell*
jon pall belsak hahah
Ha!!
This comment just made my day thanks !!!
This comment will get me trough 2020
Fuckn hilarious
Shaw and Thor are so much stronger and bigger than anyone else...
they are from other planet
Shame the beast wasn't there. He'd win it
They're actually less stronger than the others if they do their own body weight they will never win for sure
Bigger doesn't always mean stronger. The young Polish guy is smaller and makes them look weak.
That is just so insane
31:30 for Brian Shaw, 35:15 for Hafthor
You the real mvp
That’s really what we came for
Thx bro
You the fucking GOAT
Thanks bro
if CT Fletcher was commentating everybody would have set world records

That's what CT would sound like. What a legend...
Maaaan, he would be so good at this!
Wheres Brad Castleberry... I heard he was the strongest man from the Past , Present and even Future.
Same thing i heard lol
To busy lifting fake weights
@@Firstilly LOL!

To busy booming baby
Arnold is literally living his live by just taking a selfie or a video while Brian and Hafthor doing the deadlift
Props to Brian Shaw for congratulating Hafthor Bjornsson after being edged out by him. That shows real character.
Brian is class thru and thru
Thor and Brian Shaw are on another level than these other guys
They are the tallest and biggest of all thats the secret
@@ivanpavlov2458 being tall is not always positiv cause you have to move the weight a longer way
Иван Павлов ask Eddie hall that
@@priley817 eddie sucks are events which being tall is an advantage lol he just simply can't compete with people almost 7 feet tall.
Jacob Dickerson Brian got a torn bicep
Excellent athletes. Terrible commentators
This is a sport where even the guy in last place should still be looked at with amazement.
11:32 You can see what Dimitar is thinking.....because his brain is on the outside!
haha i thought the same thing, it's like his head muscles follow his brain shape lmao
Hahahah
Imagine how he must feel reading such things ...
these videos by rogue are amazing quality
One of the best Arnold Strongman contests I ever saw.
Anyone notice that THOR nearly got hit in the head with the flag pole at the beginning lol 4:10
I noticed 🤣🤣🤣
Hhahaha
Thanks for pointing that out, too funny man.
Dodged that shit like thug life 😂
Lovely Jubbly Ultra instinct
The fact that Mark Henry actually cleaned this bar, with a proper clean, not the hitch/strongman style, makes his feat even more incredible. And three full clean and press reps in 2 minutes on top of that. Crazy.
Mark did 166 kgs. This was 181 kgs. It’s still super impressive of Mark but I want to point out it’s not an exact comparison.
The commentators do not know the atheletes and their names. That ist weak.
yeah it's a shame for such a contest...
for real they should've gone over them beforehand or maybe gotten a commentator from europe, especially when most of the athletes aren't american
Didn’t he make one mistake he’s a fuckin human yeah shut up mister perfect
The Commentator is Mark Henry he won the first Arnold strongman back in 2002.

Corn holio. name of the. theme song
Such an amazing event ! The heart and soul these men have is something special ! Something i live for ! Congratulations guys !!
The production value is amazing.
Dimitars head looks like a ball sack on a very cold day!
He looks so fucking old for 37, don't you think? I mean, 37.... He looks fucking ancient.
That's actually his brain. He actually has an IQ of over 200 and is rumored to be able to use telekinesis to aid in his lifts.
milnusthegnome Looks more like 57
GH is the cause of the external brain look apparently.
Yep.
This gave me a THORGASM!!
"Such a close conzipisun.. constipation... compestaion.." - Mark Henryyyyyy :-D
Hahah exactly
He can't even speak his own language... worst announcer ever.
You should timestamp
"First from Estonia ... sorry Slovenia ... Rauno Heinla" "Belsak walks out."I legitimately fell off my chair when I heard that the first time, still laughing. how can you nit recognize a guy after literally announcing his name all day for two days?
Lmao these guys are a riot. Its like they're suppossed to be like this.
That shit's funny.
rauno is finnish first name and since estonians and finns are related not suprised he got messed up
@@hydraliskin But it wasn't Rauno that walked out, it was Matjaz Belsak lol.
@@hydraliskin, doesn't make sense, there was no finn, the other guy was from Slovenia.
I know these names are hard for english speakers but the host is not even fucking trying to pronounce them right.

I thought he was pretty high energy the other guy was boring. He was bad XD made a bunch of mistakes but he was excited at least XD
What do you want? This isnt the most exiting sport to watch if you are not into it. Its not like fucking soccer teamplay. Get a grip man.
psssh.
Favorite event. Bring this back
Other than the Deadlift, I have been waiting for this.
“He’s using chalk to improve his grip.”
For the uneducated fans
Damm Thor is getting strong af.
Brians about to have his hands full at these competitions. I do miss big z though.
Damn, those guys are awesome.
Only if we could see Big Z in this event!
This would be the only event where he could be good at. Other than that BIG Z is now pretty much behind his best and his injuries are holding him back and will not let him win his 5th WSM. Age is something you cannot stop and i guess Z knows that as well. Last year WSM showed it perfectly where he ended up on 6th or 7th position?
Last years WSM he was still rehabilitating from injuries. This year shows where he really is at when fully recovered and hopefully 100% injury free.
Love watching Big Z OPH, friggin mutant.
Mukul Batra in asc 2010 he strict pressed 208 kg... 460lb i guess... Two times.
Big Z lost over 100 pounds in his overhead lift since his injury. He's NOWHERE near what he was in strength in 2015.
If Mateusz Kieliskowski can stay relatively injury free, he can definitely become the next Pudzianowski. I wonder if he feels any pressure from that since they're both from Poland or if he's tired of being compared to him.

yeah his movements seem pretty fluid and he wasn't stressing or stiff. I think he definitely has room to grow still
If he can get his deadlift up he will clean house with the competition! He came on 2nd at the 2018 by a few points and he only did 3 lifts on the car deadlift with the winners getting 12. Imagine if he had a relative deadlift. I dont understand how his deadlift can be among the weakest of all the competitors yet he still takes 2nd place overall.
So glad Arnold is there representing.. that man is walking inspiration.
Congrats, Thor.
"Such a close convosa- s- close convo- close competition" ~ Mark Henry
Really impressed with the Estonian, he's actually really strong for his size and weight.
You’d be even more impressed now, recently broke the masters deadlift record with a 476kg lift
@@dantethunderstone2118 It always makes me laugh how much Rauno seems to have aged in 5 years lol. Somehow he only gets stronger.
On September 13, 1949 American weightlifter John Davis lifted
the original barbell. He competed in the 198 pound weight class
and was a two time Olympic champion. He was also a twelve
time U. S. champion.
Since testosterone was synthesized and known about in medical/bodybuilding circles in the late 30s I think the first two were much more impressive.
Awesome !!! What a power
Thor is a monster , well done man .... oh wow .
Why windmills. Why Marc Henry.

man these episodes of each event on youtube r better than some of the top movies ,,,
I am so glad he won, now onto the WSM
Hafthor!

Magnus though
Sitting there...
Got nerves of steeeeel

by the way .....does anyone knows the fantastic powerful music ?
Did Thor’s 4th rep count as a jerk or clean?
he locked it out overhead before tossing the axle at Magnus Ver Magnusson lol
so yes its a full rep overhead, not just a clean
Actually that's incorrect. He was awarded 3.5 points for this event, tied with Brian Shaw according to the official standings. He did lock out, but wasn't able to hold it.
