@@avlinrbdig5715 He's norwegian - but you're correct. Faen/fan (Norwegian/Swedish) is basically the same word. I'd place it somewhere between "damn" and "fuck", in terms of profanity level. Damn would be Pokker, fuck would be Helvete. Faen/fan is a middle ground. ...we got a pretty wide range of curse words in Scandinavia. ;)

I love watching the old shows and comparing how the safety and equipment has advanced over the years. Those older dudes are just lucky to have made it through the events without loss to life or limb. It's amazing.

Number 92. - Eddie winning deadlift in WSM2017 by pulling 472kg is top1 on my list. Such weight after that many events. One thing I would add to the list would be 2017 Kieliszkowski's plane pull. He was a new guy, he had little muscle, little experience and won an event which favors heavy guys, even though he was the lightest. Mindblowing.

Loz could you do a video on strongman records that are unbreakable? Mariuz winning by 20 points and Big Z claiming 8 Arnolds would have to be up there.

Mariuz's 5 titles is unlikely to be broken. The last decade has seen the sport grow a lot, and there are many more 'professional' strongmen coming up through the ranks. It's like when Tiger Woods dominated golf and inspired an entire generation of fathers and sons to train from basically birth to become pro golfers. It's so hard to win a major in golf compared to when Tiger first stepped on the scene because of what his legacy inspired. Strongman is so competitive now, and the margins between victory and 4th place are very thin. No chance anyone breaks that 20 point margin, and sustaining success at the highest level for 6 victories is going to be nearly impossible.
Great list. Here are a few others I like: -Brian Shaw max atlas stone WR in 2016(?) with a torn hamstring -Sam Belliveau circus dumbbell WR (beating the openweight WR as a middleweight) -Mateusz Kieliszkowski frame carry WR from the 2022 Arnold -Victoria Long easy 295 kg elephant bar deadlift WR -Hafþór Björnsson weight over bar WR at the 2022 Rogue (even after slimming down) -Inez Carrasquillo and Olga Liashchuk being the only two to finish the sandbag to shoulder medley at WSW 2022 -Asko Karu 482 kg stiff bar deadlift with only standard straps in training -Rhianon Lovelace axle deadlift WR -Rob Kearney on the heavy super yoke in the 2019 WSM heats -Adam Bishop on the axle deadlift for reps at Giants Live (matching Oleksii Novikov for first, but Adam didn’t use a suit) -Rauno Heinla 580 kg silver dollar deadlift -Seven 1,000 lb+ pulls at the 2021 World Deadlift Championships -Andrea Thompson log press feats (WR for max weight and/or 125 kg American Oak for 5 reps)

Kazmaier is a fucking legend. Strongman is far from a big time sport, but his contributions should definitely be recognized in his homeland.
Rhiannon Lovelace 600lb deadlift at only 64kg bodyweight is a pretty 'holy shit' moment

I write to appreciate the amount of work you have done with this video (and all your videos ofc). We dont appreciate it loud enough sometimes. Many thanks for this 🙂🙏
THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING! One of many many times I'll rewatch it
I was surprised Martins blitzing the stones over post at the 2021 Rogue after everyone else struggled with it so hard wasn't on your list. Chloe's lift is one of the best moments on here for sure.
Loz needs more subs keep it up these are gold no better man to commentate, always top notch commentary.
Wow, what a great video, guys!! That must have taken a ton of time and research. A few takeaways...old strongman events were crazy dangerous...Chloe's lift and reaction hit me in the feels...Kaz is definitely the scariest strongman ever
Tom McGee psyching himself up was epic. Also Jouko Ahola winning on his first attempt and at such a light weight compared to the others was a holy s moment.
Best compilation I’ve seen! Awesome work, Loz!!
Watching young Savickas have a atlas stone drop on his stomach at first strongman to being one of the atlas stone champs and lift the Austrian oak. 🎉🎉🎉 Bravo 👏
Mateusz Kieliszkowski placing 4th at the first Rogue Invitational after zeroing one event (almost zeroing two, really) was another amazing one for me.
Missed your videos, great compilation.
Loved the list
Great video. Some amazing and some hilarious moments. That barrel race had me in creases 😂
great finds from some of the older/more obscure shows
Absolutely love this sport, great content.
What an amazing compilation ❤
Great list, some of my favorite moments in Strongman here, no doubt. ... And some of my least. Watching Glenn Ross cry in 2000 when he missed out of the final, and anything Stone Off related. 36 was the one I was waiting for; Pfisters prediction is by far one of my favorite moments as a fan, second only to when Phil started locking out those natural stones in 2006 and I totally knew he was actually going to make good on it. That head to head between JF Caron and Jerry Pritchett. There is no quit in either one of those guys and that's still probably my favorite moment so far from the Shaw Classic. Big Z and Mariusz were absolutely incredible in their day. Along with Brian and the consistency of Thor, they've got to be the best Strongmen ever. You got to give it up to Mitch Hooper on all of his appearances on here too. Absolutely incredible athlete, and crazy determination. A few honorable mentions. Berend Veneberg being the first guy to beat out a returning WSM Champion for his spot in WSM at Strongest Man in the Netherlands 1993. (Great competition too) Jouko Ahola, like Magnus Ver Magnusson also won WSM in his first appearance in 1997. How about Regin Vagadal in 1996? The most famous man in the Faroe Islands, winning his heat having never even seen at least most of the events in the Competition. Lazlo Fekete making the 1999 final, 9 years after he last competed at Worlds in 1990. The gap between appearances beaten only by Travis Ortmayer. (2011-2021) Also worth mentioning though everybody already knows it. Between 2009 - 2016 no one won WSM other than Zydrunas Savickas and Brian Shaw. Lastly, "Stupid Event" 🤣 Got to Give it up to Loz for defeated a peak Thor Bjornsson in the 2016 Europe's Strongest Man.
Jon Paul was such a fucking character!! Fucking awesome list too btw.
All the dancing strongmen and you left the best one out 🤪🤣 Great video, it was very much enjoyed!
Jamie Reeves opening our new shop in 1990 is my best strongman memory. We had him pull a narrow boat which was comically easy for him then he stayed and armwrestled all the kids and a few over zealous adults for the rest of the day. Safe to say nobody got the better of him, although a few of the kids did come close. Everyone had a great time and he seemed like a really decent bloke.
This was awesome 👌 💯 much love from Canada 🇨🇦 Brothers.
What a great video Loz, many thanks.
Great video, really enjoyed watching this
31:33 The Moose making Canada proud, BAYBEE! I was so happy when this happened. An elite athlete, and genuinely good guy.
Great channel Loz! Cheers!
Loved it, some great old footage
Amazing video. Not a single dud. I love some of the deeper picks like JF vs Jerry at the first SC.
So epic!
fantastic mix of pioneers of strength and entertainment, long may strongman be upon us.
When it comes to sheer willpower, nobody beats Shivlyakov.
The best content ❤️
I know Thor broke the record with 501, but there was something unreal about Eddie doing 500 the first time. That era of Eddie Hall was such a monster of determination.
Great to see you back, have missed your videos
As you say in the outro, always awesome content! 👌 💪
I am missing ESM 2016 😉 Beating Thor that year is definetely worth mentioning!
Great list and great video Loz. Thank you! I would put Derek Poundstone from Fortissimus 2008 on the list when he lift the third and final natural stone when no other could. Even Big Z thought he had the win in that competition.
Mitch Hooper is an incredible athlete, he always comes across like it's all no biggy but I saw a tear on his cheek when you had your arm around him Uncle Loz!
Unbelievably dangerous and unsporting behavior by Kaz starting at 3:45. He almost killed his own teammate.
nice video, Uncle Loz! Thank you!

The only venue where power mullets still look par for the day. Great vid. Loved the Kaz segments.
I grew up watching WSM competitions, so this drew me back to childhood memories. I've always admired these guys for the strength and discipline they exhibit physically, but mentally as well to train up to those weights. Just wild to think what a human is capable of during moments of adrenaline.
I understand about the importance of safety, more standardized events, etc., and that's better for the athletes, the older events are so much cooler and more fun to watch. And, man. if events were still so varied and athletic Mariusz could've won 15 years in a row or something. Crazy
Svend -"FAAAAAAK!!!"... probably wins anyway 😂
that was awesome!
OD losing his balance running uphill and appears to throw the barrel over the edge of the bridge, while bumping into the half-wall…. Hysterical!!!! Add in the complete lack of safety for the competitors and the public! I loved this entire collage!
Awesome video.

Love this vid. My top three is Samuelsson breaking Megamans arm, The Dominators performance and Halls 500kg deadlift :)
2:40 that is an amazing bit of commentry
That Kaz train pull, every time I see it my hamstrings and glutes just fire. Always was a motivation at the gym when pulling weight behind you, never got past an SUV, but still lol
Good walk down memory lane. Lot of editing. Well done.
Nothing beats big Z's 4 reps on the Austrian Oak log ❤
Mikhail's deadlift is absolutely LEGENDARY!!! The dedication he put into finishing that lift is truly one of the manliest things I've ever seen
Ripping phone books in half isn't a feet of strength, its a side show trick. I learned to do it at 13 or 14 years old. There is a technique to it that makes it very easy, almost anybody can do it with absolutely no strength training.

Great video. My favourite moment is #99, Zydrunas repping the 205kg log makes me giddy even to this day. The mogging is further increased by the fact that the ASC discontinued the 205kg log after his departure
I really enjoyed this video and I’m grateful for the time you put into editing it, but it went by so fast that I couldn’t really appreciate all of the individual segments. Maybe you can do a series of shorter videos in which you spend a bit more time explaining each highlight. Each video could have a theme: era, event, type of highlight, etc. 😊
This was a great video. Man, I forgot how crazy Kaz was, lmao
great vid
You have great video ideas. You must have the most knowledge of strongman in the world. I hope to see more great content in the future

11:20 26. Fekete László, The best Natural Strong Man!
it was a long time ago now, but there was the Viking press event (where you have to lift a big log about your head for reps) All the competitors had to put their whole bodies into the lift, pushing off with their legs to get the momentum to lift the thing. Then Glen Ross Comes along and lifts it like it wasn't there and get like 5 more reps than anyone else. He was so good at the static events, not so great when you had to run around.
Thank you for making an honest video, without trying to sell me something
kaz was such a character when he competed!

HAHAHAHAHA If I ever use a time machine, I'll go back to when Big Z fell with the atlas stones in his first WSM, and just tell him "look, kiddo, it's going to be ok"
Dude that overloaded dumbbell, i would have just thought man was having an off day, luckly he knew and didn't end up with an injury
