Great interview. You let him speak

Kaz pushed himself to the extreme. Everyone wants to be that strong but very few are willing to suffer that much, and that often. You must respect that effort.

i remember watching kaz do the log press on tv as a youngster and just hurl it when he was done. power personified.

You gotta remember Kas did all of this with primitive training knowledge and programming, little to no lifting aids or equipment, basic nutrition and even more basic supplements, no advanced recovery techniques like the guys use today like cryotherapy & oxygen chambers and the bare bones of anabolics (maybe a little test/deca). He would have absolutely DESTROYED the competition today!!

There has been many great strongmen for different reasons but the 3 "strongest man that have ever lived" are Bill Kazmaier, Big Z and Eddie Hall. The 3 most dynamic are probably JPS, Magnus ver Magnusson and Mariusz Brian Shaw is somewhere in between both categories.

I'm sure glad they put the classes in. Gotta two comps the next two months at 181 and 175. I'm 5'7". I could be a chunky 242 which woukd be great for powerlifting but I wouldn't be able to run or grab an Atlas stone around my belly if I was.

Kaz, asked who is the strongest of all times? That’s it’s hard to answer, but I do know that the kaz has bad temperament, he tends to get butt hurt when something doesn’t go his way.I have seen a lot of world strongest man competition. The management can easily stack the events Against you so that Their champion wins. Personality is a must If you want to win under those circumstances and kazmaier is lacking. And that is why sigmarson won so many events. they loved him.

Barbell lifting is not the only judge of strength. The longer taller guys dominate the stones/farmer walk/bigger object lifting. Short arms and legs great for squats and benches. Not great for the bigger oddball objects you need to handle

In my opinion top 3 strongest men ever is big Z, Kaz, and O.D. in that order.

+ChaseVII Kaz was a Herculean Demi-God SAVAGE in his day. Destroying the competition in WSM and in the IPF. Winning World Championships and Breaking World Records. He was Worlds Strongest in 2 SPORTS AT THE SAME TIME! Who else in the history of WSM CAN SAY THAT? Bill Kazmaier could’ve won at least 2 more WSM Titles if the new promoters didn’t keep him from competing. Both of Geof Capes WSM Titles and 1 from Jón Páll Sigmarsson really belong to Bill. Bill Kazmaier was truly a 6X WSM! SQUAT = 800lbsX10 900lbsX3 BENCH = 500lbsX15 600lbsX5 633lbsX3 661lbsX1 INSANE LOL! I LOVE KAZ!........The Real G.O.A.T!

If you watch the 88 WSM, Kaz wasn't allowed to compete after 82 due to the fact that they didn't invite him, and he was past his prime, but anyway he destroyed JP in the pure strength events. The ref called him for not keeping his arms fully extended on one of the static holds, and Kaz claimed he couldn't because his triceps were so massive, and he got DQed from that event, and had a bit of a meltdown. The next day was the overhead cable toss, and he was a record holder in that event, but he had a terrible performance, because he said he wasn't able to sleep much the night before because he was still pissed about being DQed from the other event. Long story short, if things had gone a little different that year he would have won another title, and i think you can make a solid case that Kaz would have won a majority, if not all of the competitions from 83 through 87, if they had allowed him to compete! He was absolutely dominant back then, and way ahead of his time!

Millenials pay attention

At 31mins, Kaz talks about Steroids

Kaz was so great but god he's a bad loser He could have been a great ambassador for strong man but that reason he wasn't invited back to wsm because he was too strong is bs. He was extremely abusive towards the judges and other athletes. Have you seen footage of him speaking with David webster it was disgusting. He's cool calm collected now.. But for f sake jon pall only did powerlifting for a couple of years compared to bill, he only went to powerlifting because he couldn't snatch correctly with his arm in olympic lifting. Ohh pure strength when jon pall was at his most strongest in static strength jon pall... Ohh the events were rigged. All 3 athletes competed in the same events. Who won 8 out of 10 events. Plus wsm is not powerlifting

Garbage he would have dominated

Kaz isn't exactly humble, is he? Just saying.

The last event in 1990 was a run around a quarter mile track with weight on your back. It was ridiculous for a strongman event. OD got screwed. A CrossFit guy would have beat any strongman in that event.

Raw is not raw. These still use belts, sleeves and wraps. Strong men use all sorts of gear. Who cares. They are all strong. Even in gear it's strength and skill.
