Seriously the industry could not have gotten any luckier than landing this guy as the new face of the sport. It's not just about ridiculous static strength, which the guy has in spades to begin with, but a real solid educated background in the science of the sport. He mentions mobility often. He talks about health and longevity. I rarely see a humble brag lift video from this guy. You're more likely to get a clip of him sweeping up or streching and everybody's eating it up because he seems like a genuine down to earth dude

@@mange6164 they don't hate each other, but Brian made a remark when Martins was a rookie about him not being strong enough to compete at WSM and it's fueled Martins ever since. I don't think they will always have this rivalry but it's basically Eddie vs Brian all over again. I doubt Brian had any real Ill intent behind his comment towards Martins cause he seems like a big cuddly bear now but back in the day he wasn't always so nice. I remember him being really rude to me and other fans in Colorado Springs one time, but this was when Brian was still early on in his career and he had a big ego cause he was dominating the strongman world at the time. Now not so much, I've met him a few times and he's a nice guy, I think it was one of those things where winning wsm was in his head and his ego was inflated but being dethroned by the likes of The Beast and Thor kinda brought him back to earth

I am from Latvia too! Martins is a good guy! Bless you all in 2020!

Emotional stuff! So proud of Martins! Matteusz is coming for him, and Thor will be back stronger than ever next year... Not to mention Shaw and a whole host of the new generation of strongman... It will be a great fight!

Well deserved Martins. I watched as many of your training sessions as you would post, you worked so hard for it. And now no one can ever take the title of "worlds strongest man champion" away from you.

Loved it thanks for the motivation! MARTINS!!!!!

This shit is awesome af! esp. the end where he talks about all the struggles and perceiving through them welcoming the challenge also its hard not to almost joy cry when you see his emotional reaction after getting the W! My favorite Strongman is now King Dragon "Martins Licis"

Glad this man won! What a Pure Hearted Warrior.

Martins really got what he deserves, after all the hard work and effort.... Well done and congratulations🎊🎉🥳💪💪💪

I have been watching strongman since I was a boy at 3 years old flipping through the tv in 1996 looking for cartoons and one day I found wsm on at like 4 in the morning while I was wiping boogers on the couch. It changed my life when I saw these men racing each other trying to best the last guys lift. The sense of competition and comradery opened up a huge perspective in my mind! Great to see the dedicated and the disciplined rise to the top! Love it

This man is a hero

I'm so happy for this guy.

I think Martins is a lot stronger than when he wins 2019. Hopefully WSM 2022 is in his hand once again.

Martin's is such a cool guy. I love his attitude and his willingness to help others and be such a humble man and gentle giant. Coolest strongman ever and a guy I can say is a great role model.

My motivation has leveled up to ultra instinct just from watching this.

Truly inspiring story!!

Very glad he got the sbd sponsorship he is a great ambassador for the sport

MARTIIIINSSS! ✊

Martins set the bar for strength, athleticism and conditioning. It’s a new age for strength athletes.

You are a top class. Smart and strong.

Super...super impressive what you did Martins!! Enjoying your youtube channel aswell..

Great job Martin. I was always watching you just behind the top guys, now you are the top guy. Congrats!

pound for pound, he is one of the most impressive strongmen I have ever seen

I just realized this man is a real life shonen protagonist

i never thought martin licis would win but he did it

Poor Martins literally broke his body winning 2019 WSM. I followed his whole training camp. I hope he recovers and does it again.

Geez that was emotional

Awesome

That was great video and good ending music ty

Born searching for the riddle of steel 💪🏼💪🏼🔥🔥🔥👍🏼

MARTINIIIIISSSS!!!

Absolutely love martins. He deserved every bit of the victory. Next year will be crazy tho. Thor, Shaw, kieleskowski, whole lotta strength in those 3 names

Martins ! ✊

This makes me want to get as strong as I can, not for me but hopefully it would show my dad to take his health serious again.

Will go down as one of the greats. Not the biggest guy but so strong and everything he does is just beautiful to watch

Very inspiring

MARTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS!!!

god bless you bra you awsome

Martins got me back into strongman

Well done sir

Man, I just realised that the yellow ring on the second stone almost caused some serious trouble, like what happened to Shivlyakov later on Wembley.

MARTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS!!!

Guy is strong as hell not surprised he won

You're going down.....down in history!

The Martiiiins after pulling the tractor was as cool as Rockys Adriaaaaaan.

MARTINS!!!

To me Martin is the most amazing WSM ever , humble , great showman and amazing athlete I don't know why I see him breaking the all time number of wins of WSM and the great thing u have 2 athletes pushing him to do so Thor and Mariuz which are amazing athletes as well and amazing humans

Martins!

So, 2022. If Licis and Mateus are back, Stoltman bro's, Shaw, Novikov... good god, what acomp!!

Looks Soo freaking strong

Quality bloke

I'm surprised Martins mentioned self doubt I always thought he was very confident and rightfully so and...His Mother is a Gorgeous Woman I guess that's where he gets his good looks from ;-) I think he will go on to win multiple times.

When the 2019 WSM was and I was wondering who won the competition, I wasn't really following the sport or even the event, I just followed some things on social media. I was thinking it would probably be Halfthor who would be the winner, and when I saw the result and heard "Martins Licis, WSM" my first and only thought was "who the fuck is that guy?" I had never heard of you before, now he is one of my favorites in the sport, humble, funny, and very technnical and smart, and of course strong.
