I wish they didn't. It could be one of those mythical lifts where only the exceptional can do. Imagine after 50 years of the comp and the log has only been lifted by 5 people or so. would be epic

Zydrunas is a living legend.

It's my birthday today Uncle Loz. Turned 32 and couldnt ask for a better gift from ya about my favorite strongman.

Big Z has been one of the strongest men in the world for decades now, crazy consistency.

Big Z is a living legend! Great video.

Big z what a great strongman, he won so many titles, and still going strong.

Nobody has dominated the sport of strongman for as long as big z did. The most impressive performances of him is from the Arnold classic a true strength event which actually tests your static strength. And big z won it 8× . Truly impressive

Great video Team Loz! There’s almost too many incredible Big Z moments to chose from, but I’d probably go with the Austrian oak for reps too. Excellent series.

Big Z an INCREDIBLE athlete... Big Loz an incredible entertainer/historian/storyteller!

A legend who deserves far more recognition

The fact that you stayed close to big Z in many events and beat him in some, you are a Legend Big Loz

Just unbelievable to see this kind of power and strength, especially on log press. Thank you Big Loz for putting on this content. I really appreciate your channel.👍👍

He’s a living legend

It's just getting harder to be dominant and that's why I can't see it. Even 4-5+ years back, things are changing rapidly.

I'm the same age as Big Z so have been a huge fan for a long time. I hope he keeps doing his thing for years to come, but even if he retires tomorrow he'll always be one of, if not THE greatest of all time.

Auto watch.. Great content as usual

He literally does every competition, he just recently did the Shaw Classic and he was fantastic!

That's why I called him the big z, humble intelligent smart, massive power and strong (zero wekness point) ogre A monster strength endurance agility unbelievable strength god give him

One of my all time favorite strongmen and people...

I googled Big Z in went to his Wikipedia Geez! 😯 he’s dominated so many strongman competitions around the world. Truly big z is the most dominate strongman to ever live. His strongman accomplishments speaks volume. The Goat!

Thanks mate that was a awesome video!!!👍👍💪

I love Big Z

Met big Z and watched him attempt a 230kg log. Huge guy and chugged along like an old boat in the arena, but you were in aw of the man. A true legend of the sport.

my personal best moment was the keg toss at europes in 2013. An event I've always loved to watch, and the only time I've been there to see it live. Big Z just breezed through it and left the crowd stunned. Was great to see :)

I don't remember the year but it was at the Arnold Classic and the one arm dumbbell press I think had just been introduced the year prior and when it was Zydrunas' turn he just smoked I think 9 reps with 200 lbs the first ones went up so easily with no leg drive whatsoever and best thing was that in the audience was Arnold himself and he just stood there shocked with jaw on the floor (as was basically everyone) what an awesome moment that was.

Thanks for the list. Really happy that I witnessed in person, his performance of the oak lift at the 2016 Arnold Classic. I knew it was special

Lawrence himself had some outstanding moments

In this year's 2020 WSM, Big Z told Martin's that he warms up in the event as the show is going on. Total bad ass!

This was a great trip down memory lane. Love the music choices too. Perfect.

Wow the 80 meter farmers walk. That’s like,(in American football 🏈), scoring a touchdown on a kick return from the 13 yard line with a defensive lineman in each hand. Insane!

Frankly I just want more from Z! Find more lists and stuff to feature Big Z! What a god this man is!

When it comes to most sports, theres always a debate about who is the greatest of all time however when it comes to strongman, Zydrunas is the greatest without question.

Great video. Zydrunas, best of all time. Very motivating.

I remember seeing Zydrunas' swag on the way out to the Austrian oak. Just total murder death kill on his face as he strutted out to it.
