I found a web article once that said the boxer Floyd Mayweather will NEVER eat food that has been microwaved. Of course, he has a personal chef who makes all his meals fresh. The point is, that some believe that microwaving food destroys all the nutritional value that may have been there, so you're literally eating "dead" food.

I'm Hawaiian and Japanese and I have to tell you guys that I really appreciate how much respect you have shown to my cultures and I love through tales of strength you have highlighted some of the most badass parts of both. 🙏💪

It continues to surprise me how stone is the link that unites man around the world between unconnected populations. An inert element and at the same time so linked to life. Hawaiians are a very strong race, both women and men. They have an admirable constitution. As always, greetings from Basque lands.

YES! Good to see you fellas back at it! Big thanks to Romark for all he does. Production, camera work, research etc. Unsung hero. Edit: I posted this comment before I watched the video and saw Romark just be totally fucking awesome for 20 mins. So, gents, we getting a show out of this or what? There's a weird strengthy Bordain shaped hole for people who give a shit and want to talk to people. Food was his vehicle, strength can be yours. Really it's about meeting people and talking and sharing. You guys get that.

Martins isn't the most poetic man that's ever lived, but his passion and respect are second to none. The man adores and respects the heck out of every people and culture. That's what makes this series so good!

Hope you visit Samoa one day! Would be cool to see you visit the Olympic lifting team!

Man. I love Hawaii and Polynesia so much. Such beautiful places. I love places where everyone contributes to maintaining the natural environment.

Thank you so much for the showcase of the unknown strength of my people! 🤙 As my Kupuna kane always told me "ikaika e like me na mauna a me ka hoomaha ole e like me na ale" "Be as strong as the mountains and restless as the waves"

Wow I wasn't expecting more strength unknown lol, sick

Martins and Romark, Both of you never cease to amaze me not just in your feats of strength and determination, which are otherworldly on their own, but in your ceaseless ability to be amazing ambassadors of not only strength and sport, but of humanity. You relate to people of all nationalities with an openness and peace that I think really exemplifies the best attributes of us all. In almost every video in this series, I reluctantly find myself moved to tears by people from every corner of the planet setting and achieving goals of strength and watching the triumph and elation on their face. It makes me strive for my own sense of accomplishment and stokes my desire to achieve something for myself. Thank you so very much for your tireless dedication. I truly hope the right people see this and enable you to make these episodes longer and even more immersive.

This series is beautiful. Really showing the amazing cultures around the world.

This strength series have been an absolute banger. Beautiful footage, filled with culture and knowledge. Thats A+ content, guys 💪 🙏

Such a beautiful episode. Thank your martins, romark, the whole crew, as well as alll of those willing to share their culture so openly

Just found your channel, this Strength Unknown content is amazing and so well produced, narrated, edited, and educational. Very different from other Strongman content I've seen before. Love it!

Love this channel!

Yes! I just sat down with dinner and saw you posted this. Great content Martins and crew, thanks for making it! :)

Thoroughly enjoyed all of this series, great work fellas.

Love Martins, Romark and the team! You guys are absolutely killing it! This content could easily be on the history channel or Netflix. I can't come up with enough words to explain how awesome this channel is. Great work Martins, Romark and the team! You all knock it out of the park every single time. Just banger after banger.

These videos are brilliant. Please continue to produce them.

Keep up the great content Martins 💪

Y’all have something special here, thank you for your hard work.

These are so powerful showing off lost traditions of lifting is so cool keep it up. Just amazing.

The Pacific islanders are strong, many of the world's strongest powerlifters, strongmen, weightlifters, rugby players, throwers and sumo wrestlers hail from these tiny island nations. Also nice to catch glimpses of world record holding powerlifters Stacia Cambra competing in the woman's events.

I don't think that is true. Yes they are defnitely one of the strongest people on the planet, just naturally strong but unfornately they are under represented in sports like powerlifting, olympic lifting, strongmen. They usually seem to go for rugby. Name 1 known pacific islander in the top 10 or even 20 strongman, powerlifting, or olympic lifting. As for sumo and throwing, i am not familiar with that.

@@elafzal5866 Last year, Isaac Silva of Hawaii competed in the Sub Master Division at the WABDL Championships, taking home the State, National and World title for this division for the official Raw bench press. Being a fan of University of Hawaii Football, one of my idols as a kid was Joe Onosai who went on to play for the Dallas Cowboys and would later qualify for the World's Strongest Man competition four times and reached the finals twice in 1994 (7th place) and 1995 (9th place). Onosai has official USPF drug tested bests of 843.2 pound squat, 711 pound deadlift and a 628 pound bench. As far as female competitors, in 2022, Hawaiian Bradina Anae set the all-time drug tested female record for the squat, bench-press and deadlift. Closer to home, a friend of the family who recently passed away, Francis Silva, who was born in Western Samoa and raised in Hawaii, had official USPF drug tested bests of 804.7 pound squat, 655.8 pound deadlift and 579 pound bench-press. Not bad for a tiny state like Hawaii, where this video was filmed.

Amazing. You guys just keep getting better at these productions! Good luck at The Arnolds Martins!

Absolutely love these videos!!

Awesome events! I love how old traditions are being kept alive. Martins, keep 'em coming! I'm looking forward to the next one.

Thank you for being such an interesting athlete. It is inevitable fans want to get to know you outside of your strongman performances. Unlike some other competitors, I have no regrets clicking your content.

What a great video thank you all involved in the making of this event and video yet another spotlight on traditional strength games 🇦🇺🙏🏻🎅🏼

Very well done as always, thanks!! This really relaxes after 12h work day :)

Jauks video, paldies Mārtiņ.

Amazing series!

The best thing about these ancient strength sports is that most people who still do them are purely natural. As a European it is so annoying to see EVERYBODY is at least on trt and other roids these days. Love to see other strong pure naturals who deadlift 300kg and honour the culture of their forebears

Thank you for bringing a glimpse of, indeed, “this remarkable place.” I’m not from there. However, I consider Hawaii my true home. Whenever I can, I’m there. It’s been 2 years. A month from tomorrow, I’ll be there. Bliss. Soul, mind and heart cleansing. Be kind. Always.

Another great one. Thanks.

I bet the after-party for this event would have been beautiful. I can just imagine the banquet laid out, the voices of many nations joined in harmony, the dancing and laughter. Good stuff.

This is absolutely the best and most underrated series on the whole internet.

more than anything i love how these videos give us a glimpse into different cultures around the globe. Hawaiian culture looks so rich and different to what i‘m familiar with. Also, i love this kind of content where different team members are in different locations :)

This is gonna be so good!
