      Your recovery process was an inspiration to me and reminded me just how long it took for me to heal my right leg after tearing the sciatic nerve 17 years ago. I tore it again last July. The leg will be back in a couple more months, but my left shoulder probably 6 to 12 months!
      *I'm sure I could have gotten the leg back in 2-4 months since the July tear, but it took me a long time to get my head back into it.*

    Strength unknown embodies my favorite description of strongman. The sport isn't about winning, as much as it feels like a war on gravity, where every inch is to be celebrated. Winning is nice, but the biggest enemy is how heavy the obstacles, not the competitor next to you

    This man’s humility makes this channel what it is. Even when he spoke about being afraid and nervous.
    “Fear and nervousness always hit me hard when I compete…those feelings are nothing but energy to be turned to the task at hand…I am here to inspire. I am here to be strong. I am strength.”

    Geeeeeeez these videos, i love em so much, I always feel I should book a ticket right after one of them it's finished. The passion, I love it. I can see you are very excited like a kid in a toy store and that gets me very excited too.
    Keep it up man, I hope one day you will find a good reason to film something in Italy too.
    Thank you so much for sharing all of this.

    I have loved watching this series, the respect and the joy, the beautiful scenery and food but mostly the beautiful people and culture. Thank you Martins and Romark for bringing us along!

    Great series.
    Also laughed at how the guy you went up against got told off by the main judge for having his hand on your back on that heaviest stone, that athlete just did not want you to get hurt, such respect from him, he knew you were new to the movement.

      @ross23233 Рік тому

      The guy tried to patronize him Martins (treat in a way that is apparently kind or helpful but that betrays a feeling of superiority.) But Martins showed him that is much superior/stronger than him, and than the entire Basque country!

      @@ross23233 You clearly have no good interpretation of basic social skills. The other athlete basically risked his own competition in order to see Martins succeed, there was nothing patronizing about the whole scène, just a beautiful moment!
