I heard a rumour that they're bringing back the sausage hold to the Arnold's and inviting Gav Bilton.

unfortunately tire flips are quite prevalent in smaller scale shows, as they're quite easy to source and set up

show me someone in a small scale show actually getting injured from it. In my experience its mostly a problem for heavyweights were tendons dont keep up with strenght.

​@Penguonen UKs Strongest Man, which is run by Ultimate Strongman. First event was tire flip and athlete done in his bicep

I think we've found the event list for the Big Loz Classic....

I thought O.D. Wilson was going to have a heart attack chopping that log, Kaz nearly killed him when he pushed Magnus's barrell over the edge of the bridge. That sack race medely was ridiculous !

That was so dumb of sm event. Poor OD

I cannot believe Liz agreed to have the gravel shovel in this list! I always thought it was her favorite and she was gonna have it in the Big Loz and Liz Strongman Extravaganza. I feel lied to, I don’t know what’s real anymore.

As much as so many of the older events should never see the light of day again, I still think it would be cool, maybe for the 50th edition of WSM, to do a repeat of the events from the very first competition. All either modified to be both heavier and safer, or in the case of the more ridiculous things like bar bending, replaced with an event that is thematically similar and uses the same muscle groups.

I don't think it'd be good for the 50th edition but I think it'd be cool to see some top strongman do the competition the same as it was or as close as possible but it should just be a fun thing. Would be a cool episode of The Strongest Man in History if it ever gets brought back

Not a competition proper, but a sort of exhibition event. This more relaxed approach should curb some of the injury risk from the events.

1 vs 1 events are super fun, i think they be amazing specially for tiebreks. examples: mass wresling, tug of war)

As you now know Loz, Megaman moved his shoulder inside his hand into a break arm position, which when combined with having a ref who didn't have a clue how to spot dangerous position led to that horrific break. It's such a bad position that we banned novices from doing it and would stop the match if it moved into the break arm position. But for armwars, it was anything goes as everyone knows what they're doing (Frode Haugland is a master of pulling from that position)

Definitely. If they do have to do these kind of events, everyone involved should be trained properly.

That 1990 brick run... OD was ROBBED, ROBBED I TELLS YA! 😡

Deadlift hold...

I absolutely love your lists! Oh, and great news, I'm finally no longer working Sundays, so I can catch the lives again!

Norse Hammer's ain't no problem for the KING!

I loved the log chop. I'd love to see it again. Love the kind of exaggerated real life stuff. Strongman needs more of it in my opinion

How about a practical farm show approach? In the 1920's, my grandfather in the Ukraine was said to be able to lift a cow on his back. A calf was born and he decided that he would lift the animal every day. As the calf grew bigger, he got stronger. In the end, when the animal grew to be full grown he could still lift her up! You could call it the Kurpita lift in his honor.

It’s a lovely family story but a full grown cow weighs 600-1000kg so it’s very unlikely

The tire flip ended Gary Taylor's career in 1997 when it came crashing back down on his legs, as it did on Mark Philippi around the same time.

More top 10's please, these types of strongman videos that have some history with them are my favorite

Bring back a sausage hold. I’m sure Gav would excel at this

Strongman in the 80s and 90s was a wild time 😂

Really fun video! You guys should do more of these retrospectives. There's no shortage of wild stuff and crazy personalities in strongman, especially back in the 70s/80s.

Fantastic as always

Loved this video! Thought we would see the Tug of War for sure. Not sure if it was used more than once at WSM but the year I saw Kaz and Capes do it there were actual edits in their match because it took so long!

I loved the video, so funny. I also agreed with all of your choices. I enjoy your videos and am always happy when the notifications pop up that there’s a new one. They’re fun to watch, the humour is wonderful and the content never disappoints. Thanks ❤

I love the shoutout to Timbersports @10:15, who definitely would smoke the strongmen at that log chop (probably about 30 seconds to chop through that). I showed this exact 1989 Log Chop video to some of my other Timbersports friends and they were horrified 😂

As soon as I saw the title, my first thought was tyre flip. Unless I get to a pro level and one of the big shows has it, I will actively avoid any comp with a tyre flip

Love these type of videos¡

Wrestling should most definitely be done more

I knew the brick running thing was going to be there Surprised by the tyre flip

I want to see the Bavarian lift again. That one was fun.

Noo, the bodyweight hang is great! More of it!!

That Hanging Event would be ok !! Good fun to watch and Awesome old school grip strength 💪

Loz: 1. Duck walk. 2. Duck walk. 3. Duck walk.

Arm wrestling, I fully agree on. Whilst long-term, Nathan Jones' injury might've turned out to be a blessing since he's done fairly well in acting, from the little that was seen of him until that arm break, I think he could've won a world title. He was like a proto-Hafthor almost. Gravel shovel and brick run were stupid too, fully agree. Also agree - certainly at anything remotely claiming to be serious, the primary-school-sports-day should never be a strong-man event. Unless it's just for fun, then absolutely. What about the wrist-roll? I feel like a good strength test, but I'm not sure how visually impressive it was, and tore a lot of hands to hell. - That said, personally, I'd like to see it again, even if just in a throw-back competition. Barrel/keg overhead is another visually impressive one that was always fun - though I do get that it's maybe not so good since different body types allow for better lock-out than others and so it's not the fairest. One thought with murder-ball. What about the globe thing, but just having to push it along a distance for time?

Howdy, rogue events video soon? Great video

Nice to remember some “fun” events.

The Duck Walk needs one thing: it should be mandatory to play the Yakety Sax during the whole event. Possibly by a live band.

Has there ever been a max weight loading medley? Different sizes, weights and distances from the platform. Could make for a brilliant watch

Big Loz is a 🏆 champ. Always great videos

One of the best natural strongman just tore his achilles doing tire flips. You can see his father at 2:18 Fekete László.

The event that needs to come back the most is the wind push Also more natural stones(loading, pressing to shoulder doesn’t matter) and atlas stones less important

A medley with farmers, frame, finish with power stairs. Would be cool. Of farmers/frame into yoke is always good. Arm over arm pulls. Block press medley. Big Z stimming in the background of a sandbag load.

Get rid of the stone off and use murder ball to get into the final

Love these videos and the whole history of strongman

We have lots more planned for 2024 👍🏽

as a fan I 100% agree with Loz on the duck walk, it makes everyone look bloody stupid! I also personally don't want 30KG front hold to be in competition, make it heavier! we've seen graham hicks make 40KG look comfy!

I slightly disagree about the gravel shovel, it’s quite tangible to the working man. It would need a bit of thinking about to make it “right” in a comp though

For me I'm highly on the edge of the about the wind walk event. The one where they held up a plastic (i think) panel and walked it against a jet engine wind. I don't even remember where or when it is from (probably wsm?) On the one hand it looked absolutely stupid. On the other hand if they made some sort of pushing apparatus on the rails so that it is more stable I absolutely would not mind seeing it again. Also that #1 spot must've been the birth of crossfit. And honestly would absolutely love some of the current strongmen try it, would be funny

The Hurricane from The Manfred Hoberl Classic! It was a 50kg plexiglass shield and I wouldn't mind trying that one myself :D

This was a fun one.

For an event I would love to see make a comeback, I want the car flip back lol It looks goofy, crazy, and is a spectacle. Obviously similar issue with the tire flip as far as potential injury, but at least it looks like a true feat of strength where the tires never look quite as heavy as they are.

I would like to add the Leg Press and Standing Bench Press.....quite stupid.

Every event can become one we should never see if its to light and just becomes a part of another crossfit. Tire flip is awesome

I flipped a 517 lbs tire 41 times.

Yea arm wrestling should be like a separate event within a strongman event like what Brian did at the recent Shaw Classic where 2 actual arm wrestlers was pulling. Easy to get injured for sure

Along the same lines as a tire flip, the car flip should be banished forever, so dangerous. They did it several times at WSM and it seemed like someone got hurt almost every time.

Tire flip and stones without tacky - biceps killers extra ordinaire 😞

I liked the event where they would throw a block over a rising wall. you didnt have to worry about speed or energy getting sapped by the last keg

I’d love to see you vs Shaw in a AW Supermatch. I know you have more experience but it seems Brian has dipped his toe in AW as well.

@user-kn1uj2tp6r

Brian would win just based on his already ridiculous genes for armwrestling alone.

I never liked the stone press or the block press. Always makes me nervous and someone always drops the stone on their head. The Arnolds in 2020, i think did this but they were able to press it away from them so it wasn't over head. Then Giants Live did it straight overhead and dudes were dropping it on their head.

I would have liked to see eddie and thor put the boxing gloves away and settle their differences with good old fashioned murderball

What about the wind screen event

Ladder fight / Pole push needs to go permanently. Couldn't agree more with removing tire flip.

Tire flip tore a bicep today at Sweden's Strongest Man. Big Loz proven right

What about the stone throw at the arnolds?

One event that always concerns me is the power stairs. If the handle was to break off an implement, or the strongman just lost his grip, he'd go flying backwards down the stairs which would likely be a disastrous injury.

What about the rucksack medley

I would have bet, that Liz will choose the atlas stones as honourable mention 😀

I can't remember what it's called but from a man v man standpoint i like the log with a rope handle at each end and try n push yer opponent out of the circle and tug of war. I'm a huge fan of stone events. Stone medley is one of my all-time favorite events 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘

I could do without seeing static holds ever again

love u 2

I thought that when i first saw it 29 years ago that murderball was like something out of Gladiators. Also like you said barbending was a circus strongman stunt.

I would love to see more unconventional medleys like the yoke to log at rogue

wow 1 really deserved that spot. It is hillarious though. Its something that would be funny outside of competition after a few drinks.

If you pronate your hands you wont tear your biceps on the tire flip. Its an easy adjustment.

I want a competition that has ONLY these events 😎

Ultimate Strongman's "bull ring" could do with being on this list imo

The hammers should have hit one of those fairground bell things instead of crash mats.

👏👏👏

stone to shoulder i think is way better than regular stones

Totally agree on the tireflip! Its a biceps killer and its just dumb people continue to do it. The whole thing that the bicepestear is a right of passage is just toxic and dumb.

I hate duck walk with a passion too! You should do a Loz & Liz sports day with the strongman and make sure the sports day race is in it 🤣

I've been able to see a few more of Nathan Jones' strongman competitions, and man, he had huge potential. Will always be one of the big 'what if?'s in my mind. (ditto for his fellow strongman-turned-pro wrestler Adam Scherr/Braun Strowman, actually!)

Conan's circle, specifically when Hugo Girard made his comeback and was DOMINATING the competition and then his legs gave out while he was walking with a heavy conan's circle and they buckled under the weight and got crushed and essentially ended his strongman career.

I'm surprised you didn't mention dead hangs... Update: it wasn't until the very end.

There will be a tire flip in Sweden's Strongest Man this Saturday. (Live on the Tyngre youtube channel)

One out of ten competitors tore a bicep. The guy who was in the lead after the first event. It looked to me like he was in too much of a hurry.

Justice for the tyre flip

couple more to add -- throwing big size kegs, tug of war, fridge carry (poor franko lol) --- but what i would like to see more of is -- hurceles hold ( i know, can be boring but as maybe a tie breaker or smaller comp its still the only hold event thats visually still impressive looking) - more natural stones being used, block pressing, shield carry and just more kegs or kettle bells rather than bloody sandbags,, sick of seeing sandbags in comps -- great for training but seeing guys throw sandbags just dosnt look visually impressive or entertaining for me

As soon as I saw the title I was like there has to be a duck walk on this list. I'm glad Loz put it as his honorable mention.

F**k a duck walk! 🤣 massive hate for them too, Loz haha

So... sounds like SAUSAGE HOLD has a shot!

Disagree about removing tire flips!

We have to see what time Mark Felix could get on the hanging plunge

Legend has it, he’s still on his first training session to this day.

This will be a hot take, but I think static hold events are the worst. Front/side holds, Hercules hold, frame hold, whatever. I'm decent at the grip holds, but they're so boring to watch

Nice to see Strongman Tiddlywinks was not on that list 😉

Sandbag steeple chase

I completely disagree on the log chop it should be in all comps! lol

😊

When strongman is eventually recognised as a sport rather than entertainment then “silly” events will be no more.

Great video guys! But i disagree on the tireflip. Tireflip is one of the classics, and can't be taken away from the sport. At Norways Strongest 2021, 3guys tore their bicep. And that from farmers, yoke, and sandbag. Not tireflip. Injuries suck, But thats the sport🤷‍♂️ and i kinda like duckwalk🦆

yeah yeah, wake me up when we get Atlas Stone dodgeball

I was so sure we were going to see duck walk in here 🤣😅😜

To be fair, strongman for me is a circus sport. That’s way it caught my attention in the first place. Would definitely want to see more entertaining events like this.
