Inside My Home Country, Latvia. Legs With Aivars Smaukstelis - Strength Unknown, Baltics Pt1
Спорт
Welcome to the Baltics! This episode we take a personal dive into my home country of Latvia. We’ll be training legs with Aivars Smaukstelis (Latvias Strongest Man). Getting our minds blown by the marriage of food and nature. And hopefully find some peace in a changing world. Let’s explore Latvia.

I’m from Pakistan and I had my holiday in Latvia for 2 weeks there is unmatched beauty here ❤
The voice over segue at 2:06 into Aivars saying "This is my stretching" was comedy gold. Right up there with JF saying "Abs is not a thing of power. It just mean you not eat enough" when asked why strongmen don't have abs showing.

I quite like Tom's one, Abs don't win comps, bellies do 😆
Mad respect for Aivars and the people of the Baltic. 💪🏼💪🏼

Yes but "this is my stretching" was unintentional comedic gold
"Renars was a mysterious man, focused on his work. A serious craftsman of culinary experiences" Sick noir voiceover - Max Payne:ish. Goosebumps! 👏

Thank you. Renars
This is like strongman Anthony Bourdain. I love it. Great production. You guys should talk to some tv networks . This has mass appeal. Great job!

It's more accessible on KZread than om tv. Don't need tv production nowadays.
The production on this is so good. Great job Martins + Romark!
I love this series and Martins is my favorite strongman. But the moments where we got to see him be funny and joke around were the best. I feel like the narration might be a little too serious. IMO, Martins should leverage his comedic ability more and then this series will really take off.

I think it's just great! There is enough strongmen around providing us with adolescent antics!
Brilliant content, Mārtiņ! Greetings from a fellow Latvian. It's been a pleasure to follow your journey for a while now. I wish you great success going forward, no doubt you'll smash your goals. On a side note, It's a shame that Latvian media aren't reporting on your achievements... IMHO, more people deserve to know more about your journey and title wins!

your country has produced great athletes! I would come here one day
This is cool man. I have Latvian ancestry and I love seeing things about the motherland.
Every single video from you seems like a well produced, high production value movie. Not sure who does your video formats and edits them but whoever it is, is legit!

my gym here in Germany has the same brand of plates Aivar's has, so seeing you guys warming up with 3 reds on each side while I was over the moon when I squatted with my first red felt even crazier than usual

Kind of the same with the leg press, watching them do 5+ reps at my 1 rep max like it was nothing...then adding a big man on top of that for more 9 more is ridiculous
These are not 'youtube videos' this is a mini-series master class with interesting hosts and amazing camera work. Just wow.
I love this series. You guys are doing a great job! It's got a little bit of everything - lifting, food, history, culture, people - wonderful to see a different view of the world!
It was awesome to see y’all having a good time at your home, and huge love for Aivars, I hope he has a good time at the Shaw Classic
Love this so much!! Great work! 🐉
These are so fun to watch you guys. Thanks for taking the rest of us on these adventures with you : )
These videos are awesome- genuinely so enjoyable to watch!
I LOVE this series guys! keep it up!
Holy shit man. This reminds me of Anthony Bourdain. I absolutely love the cultural aspect, and getting to know the other strongman. The quality is right there with anything I would watch on netflix.
I love your journey man I rewatch old stuff all the time and it’s amazing to see your growth from afar. Thanks for taking us with you. I’ll watch these for years.
This style of your videos is great, keep up the good work! Thanks Romark and Martins
This format is awesome, I can't imagine all the work put on ! Thanks a lot !

MARTINS!!!! Good job keep this series going -excellent!
Love this!!!! You guys are doing a great job and very much looking forward to more content like this, safe travels!!!!
Amazing episode. Your videos are getting better and better. Love you guys.
Really well produced, and I'm glad you're sharing with all of us the time spent back home. As an Italian who moved to Latvia 5 years ago, I am constantly fascinated by this beautiful country and its people's connection to nature. Looking forward to the next episodes! P.S. Hereford is (by popular opinion) the best butcher in Riga! To the point that even restaurants mark their steaks as "Hereford steaks", as a high quality mark.
Superb job Romark and Martins! 👏👏👏
Awesome work! Proud of you both. This series looks like you have a full production team. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Love to see ya’ll evolving.
Expected a training vlog but instead got an intimate and riveting showcase. Really excited for this series
