Magnus is a demi-god in disguise. I expected him to do well but once he passed 1 minute 15 seconds I began to suspect that the entire thing was going to be revealed as joke. When the columns fell apart and it became clear that he really had been holding them so long, I was astounded. I've followed this competition since it began with Geoff Capes and in all those years I have never seen anyone as remarkable as Magnus Ver Magnusson. He never had a supremely muscled body, he never had massive size, yet he beat them all with apparent ease. He would have won 5 times but for that simple yet shocking mistake with that replica of the Husafel Stone. The greatest strongman ever!

@@BobPapadopoulos, what? I made only 1 claim - an *opinion* - that Magnus would have easily won the world title a 5th time if he hadn't dropped the Husafel Stone that time. This was something that was televised so that any fan of the championship would have seen it, and the scores were there for all to see, so it's hardly a controversial *opinion* . Yet you referred to an apparent *fact* which is different from an opinion (opinions can be disputed but facts cannot). So don't try to make out I've made "a lot more claims" than you did. We both only made one claim but, as I say, yours was an allegation of a fact, a fact that makes no sense, isn't supported by the records of verified successful feats of strength i.e. Kaz's verified records aren't in a different league to those of others at the top of the sport, and has been refuted in this thread by someone else who argued that Kaz was banned from competitions because of unsportsmanlike behaviour.

Kaz was very amazing at intimidating other competitors in his day. Magnus in his day was notorious for not being intimidated. Love these dudes and I love that this happened. I actually WANT MORE OF THIS. Old men doing strongman challenges is actually amazing for this sport. Everyone I knows of an old man that is strong as hell! It's not a myth. I don't think people understand that in this event what Magnus did is shocking even by strongman standard. No, it was not the record at all, there are pro strongmen today that couldn't beat Magnus in this though. I love that both of these men are still involved. Magnus as a judge is FUCKING perfect!!!

He wasn’t the biggest, but he was the best during many competitions. He displayed a true Viking heart which would make our ancestors proud. Even now, he shows his grit and honors his heritage with an awesome display of strength. One of the greats!

If prime Bill Kazmaier competed today, he would definately be able to win. Only reason he and other athletes of that time didn't overhead press as much or lift as heavy stones as modern athletes is because they didn't do as much dedicated strongman training back then.

they are both legends and i have to say i workout and i wouldn't hold even 3 sec at 33years old so respect and love to both of them!

Nobody expected anything from Magnus and he blew everybody's mind. His performance was incredibly inspirational.

This was amazing to witness. Wow All those nights up late searching 80s and 90s WSM comps! Two hero’s This was emotional to watch. Love Kaz. The will is strong! Even to stand up there. So much pressure. So brave to not back out. Those faces they pulled. I didn’t think I’d ever see that again! Amazing They looked like their younger selves

Knew Kaz was toast as soon as he started. High shoulders, protracted scapulas, and allowing the pillars to pull him apart is no good. Magnus on the other hand had his shoulders down, retracted scapulas, and was pulling the pillars in to him. Good show of understanding and skill on his part.

Magnus had the advantage of having done this event back in his competitive days. I don't think the Hercules Hold had been invented yet in Kaz's time.

Ok... they took 20 kilos off each side, 44 lbs per side out of the lift. YES, it was impressive ! However, if you know grip, or have ever trained it, you know 1¼ lbs... less than 1 kilo can make a HUGE difference. Do not get me wrong still very impressive for both men but if you take 88 lbs off a grip event, that is a huge difference.

@@MrTVx99 I believe that is exactly what I stated. For the present strong man competition they use a certain weight. For these older gentlemen, they remove 20 kilos (44 lbs) 44 lbs in a grip event is HUGE !

I've seen this clip at least 5 times now. One of the most inspiring moments in strength athletics history. When you see the crowd, row after row standing up, is the stuff legends are made of. You'd not have seen better in a scripted Hollywood movie. For any of you who watches soccer, it would be like a retired national hero coming out of retirement at say, 45 yo, going to a World Cup with his national team and scoring 5 goals in the grand final. Crowd would cheer this guy forever in legends. This is exactly what Magnus has done here, he has shown once again why he is a 4x WSM champion and one of Iceland's (and the World's) greatest prouds.

Bill is such a beast! In my humble opinion, he's been able to tap into his rage as a source of motivation better than any other strongman I've seen at least. Such a joy to watch the man work

It’s amazing to watch all of these guys do these feats of strength.

Really felt bad for Bill Kazmaier, I hope he really didn't feel some kind of impact in his mind after this.

It’s good to see two living legends give it one last go at a strong man feat.

Looks like this event was just genuinely a good time all around!

9:27 when you’re in the forrest cutting trees and your chainsaw dies

this right here brought me back to being a teenager..seeing these two inspired me to get into lifting and implement that during sports in high school and training into pro wrestling. kaz did that he went into wcw..man was a fkn beast in the ring compared to the regular wrestlers during that time. absolutely fantastic seeing this gods in the strongman world not only perform this and at this level, but also seeing the magic they still have inside.

Man! Watching this had me more pumped and hyped than the new guys In Wsm. BEASTS!

I watched this in awe, Magnus was the man back in the day, I wasn't old enough to know about Kaz unfortunately

Avoiding injury is almost as important as being strong in this sport. I started watching strongman last year and in every contest I've seen the podium has been affected by an injury.

Truly inspirational, made me emotional

I grew up watching and idolizing Magnus! Bill was the US idol!

This guy even beat mark Felix record of 86 seconds

Both are great champions and true gentleman and sportsmen. Pure class.

"I ONLY WANT TO LOOK STRONG 💪 I DONT WANT TO BE STRONG" WHAT A REAL AND HUMBLING COMMENT FROM BILL!!! YOUR BRAIN 🧠 NEVER FORGETS WHAT YOU USE TO DO! BUT YOUR BODY DOES!

I mean can we just talk about how Magnus at 56 TECHNICALLY broke Mark Felix's world record in the Hercules hold. Mark Felix's time at 160kg was 1 minute 32 Magnus at 56 years old did 1 minutes 41 at 330kg
