@Dony Dox You can easily forget about Hall, one WSM title, no Arnolds, one record that was broken in gym and soon to be broken in competition. He might be remembered for his big mouth, but apart from a big deadlift, he has no legacy whatsoever.
@@Hardistul how are you comparing a world record set at a gym with your own personal shit than in a competition?. That world record that bjornsson beat shouldn't even exist because of that reason it wasnt in competition.
@@drewmontoya3838 Does it count as a competition when the competitor (Hall) sets the increments and pauses ? (Benni Magnusson waited some 20 minutes between lifts so Hall could lift when he was ready). And how about the lockout (or rather the lack of). A more severe (read "serious") referee would have kept his hand up until the shaking stopped (hall was shivering as a newborn roe deer). But I guess it's OK because "it was a competition". Also, it was a valid world record when the same Hall beat the 18” deadlift while pulling 2 crates filled with his books (falling of the pile no less) in a cafeteria. Regardless of what Hafthor did in his gym, that record will soon be broken. Ivan Makarov nearly pulled 501 in competition (got stuck bellow the knees), and he said that he will attempt 520 ish when the quarantine lifts, and I am inclined to think he will get at least a 505. Either way, Hall's prediction that his record will stand for decades has fallen flat. All this being said, Hall is a pygmy compared to the likes of Jon Pall, Big Z, Brian Shaw, Mariusz Pudzianowski, Bill Kazmaier or Magnus ver Magnusson.
4 Worlds Strongest Man Titles 8 Arnold Strongman Classic Titles 3 Europe Strongest Man Titles 15 Lithuania's Strongest Man Titles Has held the log lift world record for 14 years Will there ever be a better strongman?
Marius was the most athletic, most agile in speed events. He had the best combination of agility, endurence, and strength. But more emphasis should be put towards overall absolute maximum static strength. After all It is the worlds strongest man. Zydrunas was the man in that respect.
He is the reason I'm starting my strongman career next year.hes always been a big role model and there's just so much he's done he never gives up and works his ass off all the time.mames me proud that I met him too.
He's the best ever so far and let me tell you why: first of all he holds many records which i'm sure will be broken in time but he did it all with consistency and grace. Also he's the most humble and nicest person around unlike some of the other competitors. The overall package makes him number 1. Respect.
@@chais1111 Yeah a real class act when he said the Arnold was fixed after Z beat him in 2016. Yet you dislike Thor because he more or less did the exact same thing lmao.

There is literally no argument for anyone else IMO, no one has been this consistently dominant over so many years, versatile in so many different types of competition, on so many different events both heavy and light, for reps or weight, moving or static, or held so many world records while also being well-rounded enough to win full shows. Brian is a distant second, had a similar career just less successful, and Thor is distant again in third, having all the ability but only at his peak for a few years
3:34 That is the difference. He lifted that like there was no weight in his hands. I've never seen anyone overhead press like Big Z could. Stongest man in history.
Legend And for all true strongman fans he won not 4 but 6 WSM titles (2 IFSA should be counted as well since both Big-Z and Virastyuk bet Pudzianowski in 2004 before moving to this federation + in 2006 Phil Pfister won the title being 6th or smth the year before in IFSA competitions and e.g. Derek Poundstone was 4th in 2007 - so no doubts that league was way stronger)
My favorite lift from him was the tire deadlift and the nod since Shaw went before him and couldn’t budge it then Big Z comes out and makes it seem like 200 strongest ever
@@hazedaddy1037 maan, why u hateful? Just look what we have: Haskethall, history, strongmen, highly rising edonomy, friendly people, human rights, some seacoast. There's alot to be proud of, idk what you mean
In fairness, he had more competition when he competed at WSM (fellow 4x WSM winner Shaw). Plus, he also took breaks from it to get records and titles at other events and powerlifting.
losing against brian shaw and mariusz pudzianowski ain't no shame. being on top of the sport in all federations, constantly being among the top 3 athletes for 15 years in a row, that is not jist respectable, that's legendary.
