The evolution of strongman from hairy blokes in the 70s and 80s to now strength athletes who are perfecting squats, deadlifts etc. is amazing to see. Strongman events are one of my favourite competitions to watch now. Helps to have personalities like Martiiinnnnnssss involved too.
Yes, it’s a lot more interesting than powerlifting and Olympic lifting, where they do the same lifts again and again. More fun to watch. More fun to do.
Great walk-through of overhead working up to a contest, including correlation of phases (power, strength, speed, hypertrophy) to movement (strict press, partials, full range, rep counts, etc). Thanks for this!
That was fantastic info you’ve put out there Mr Licis. (Compared with what’s out there) It will help stacks of people. But you are the worlds strongest man. 💪🏼👊🏻
Ok this is spectacular! I’m just going to go ahead and ask for your core workout could you tell us what you do for core, many want to know. I really do appreciate your honest and extremely informative stance on warmups and ligament and joint strength and power, wish I knew it when I was 16! Smart! Mobility is so important! Great work!
If you are not motivated enough to start benching your matress, pressing bags of flour tied to a broomstick and deadlifting the couch, you are not motivated enough.
Secret hacks..I know the strongmen want to be nice to fans but it's totally ok to tell us to just lift more and work harder haha Mateusz said it best "I just lift heavier weights more." 😂😂😂
Hard to argue with a WSM winner but behind the neck presses are one of the quickest ways to land yourself with a shoulder impingement or worse. Take it from me, it is painful and shuts down pressing training completely
Sounds like you already had shoulder issues and this provoked it. BTN presses are amazing, but only if you've got the mobility to execute them properly.
Fabian K That being true, Martins stil has great technique and strength, and everything he says in the video is solid advice and would benefit 99,9% of lifters. Don’t discount people because one or two people are better than them. In this case it still makes Martins one of the top five pressers in the world.
Martin's is considerably smaller and lighter then Mateusz so therefore his overhead pressing is arguably better then Mateusz if power to weight ratio is included
Its tips to dominate overhead press. It doesn't say "The best presser giving tips to dominate OHP". Let's not forget Martins would still dominate 99.9% of all strongmen in the world. You don't need to be the best to have a plethora of knowledge!
@@yusufonepiece I think that we have a different understanding of the term "dominate". For me, that means that you are not one of the best, but THE best and no one can beat you
Considering all top strongmen use steroids, steroids dont explain why he is dominating the events. Steroids dont just make you WSM, they eat, train and recover harder and better than anyone else. Dont belittle what they are doing, too many people think they could be just like them if they used steroids
Martins: *Writes a treaty on overhead press*
Zydrunas: I wake up, lift. Repeat. End of lesson.

Did you just call Kazmaier and Sigmarsson hairy blokes?
@@lieutenantdanslegs4328 Kaz is pretty fuzzy now m8
Please keep this stuff coming. This kind of gold coming from the WSM is priceless.

What an excellent video. Thank you
These videos are a goldmine... and I’m so annoyed I can’t do any of these with gyms closed!
You are bulking up for knowledge now😊
If you are not motivated enough to start benching your matress, pressing bags of flour tied to a broomstick and deadlifting the couch, you are not motivated enough.
You should add the world strongest man in the title 😁
Wow so much knowledge
That's some high quality info right there!
Clear explanation even for us begginers
Great content. Would be interesting to know what kind of core/ab work Martins do.
My thoughts exactly. Show us the core work please.
Watch his youtube channel. He does a load of mobility work, pull ups, yoke carries etc
Can you demonstrate. Please.

I started pressing and my back was bending , wonky torso ,
Completely off-topic, but he should grow long hair. Viking look is waiting for you to embrace it!
He had that in the oast. Go and look at John gura channel he has old videos of martins
Oberst and Eddie walk in, lift, and leave.

So.. why he doesn't dominate in overhead events?
He does pretty well. If you wanna be the best then being good in all events is better than dominating one event
Dominate the overhead events? Mateusz dominated the pressing events at WSM last year and the Arnold's this year

@@QueenToKingOfSpades I'm not arguing about that he is not good, but they can't talk about dominating when Mateusz is crushing the opposition

This fool will never win anything without a good rotator warm up - he has been warned!
Stay positive, it goes a long way...
Let me guess? steroids?
Scott Carlson That goes without saying, but everyone is on them so training techniques are more important

You don't understand this sport very much huh
Why don't you just try some steroids then you can be WSM?
