Terry Hollands losing the weight and then staying pretty lean while going into the WSM2020 in better shape than the last ten or so years is the most impressive.

Terry Hollands's transformation to a bodybuilder and back is historic. Also, his perseverance to stay in the sport and do whatever it takes to stay fired up is only matched by the likes of Big Z. To grow older, and slimmer but stronger is unheard of in the world of strongman

Big Z is not only still competing but still winning shows too!!

I can really relate Rob to myself, was madly committed to lifting weights few years ago and now I run almost every day. No longer have massive arms and broad chest, almost skinny but really enjoyed my runs, love the running community. Most importantly, do what makes you a better person.

The transformation of Rob Dixon shocked me. What a difference from his strongman days. Would of never imagined him as a ultra runner and always prayed for him to win when I was a kid.

Terry Hollands..... I once pulled up to a set of traffic lights in sidcup in the UK. As I stopped it went dark and confused, I turned to look outside in order to figure out what had happened and saw that it was not a large cloud, or some sort of new construction by the road side but Terry Hollands gigantic frame blocking the light as he was sat on a wall next to the lights where I was now parked waiting for the lights to change...... fair enough, it was a lowered sports car, but he literally block out the sun he was that huge...... I did wind down the window to say hello and tell him I was a fan and his a really nice to. What a transformation.

Terry all day long. For years I have told training partners that my genetics will not allow me to be ripped and used Terry as an example and he goes and does that, not on at all. Terry appears to have a different character these days, he seems happy now. I would like to see more of Terry on social media to build his profile and not have his Mrs dominate his page. Not hating I just want to see more Terry. I believe yourself and Liz have the perfect ballance on your page and she compliments the page so well.

All are amazing. Terry is my personal favourite

Terry hollands by far the best body transformation from strongman to bodybuilding got to give credit on that , plus loving all the content on your channel this channel is on the rise .

its amazing t see these big guys transform to almost natural terry looks amazing and looks better as he gets older, im 55 soon and in gym blah...im an ex pro athlete and these guys have inspired me tio go further as they re all my age group. all of you men are inspiration to all men...thanks guys and keep up the work, the men of the world are watching... one love

Terry's transformation is best, strong men contestants always have the potential in them for transformation as they work out with different goals.

Great video love it with great info about strong men in eddy going to win i hope :)

World-class athletes with world-class self-discipline! Awesome transformations! Imagine if Terry had hit a vacuum pose and that pic next to his earlier one!

Something about the Terry Holland’s part, maybe the combination of the photos, music and voiceover, it gave me goosebumps! I hope Terry wouldn’t mind me saying that while still an incredible athlete, he was very overweight and unhealthy looking in 2015. Those demons and unhealthy choices are really hard to overcome, and for him to go as far as stepping into a bodybuilding stage really is very impressive. Another excellent video Loz and Liz. By far my favourite channel.

Terry is literally one of my hero's.

Uncle Loz giving me bedtime stories again : )

It's amazing how strong as human beings they can lift so much and the amount of records that's been broken.Its only going to get better and the guys bigger and stronger.

Amazed by Rob Dixon's achievements. Respect to him for raising money for charity. I remember Mal Kay (a British strongman from the same era) having the ambition to run a marathon. I wonder if that ever happened. Another great video Loz!

Terrys transformation was absolutely insane.

terry hollans wow , the best transformation

Good shit loz

Respect for all of them from me.

Terry does look really good shredded.

They all are impressive. The dietary discipline and exercise is not easy to do. Commend them all for being able to stay with it.

Terry for sure

There are people who make incredible transformations, lose a tonne of weight and still talk about stubborn areas they just can’t change. Like around the abdomen and love handles. Can’t imagine what commitment and discipline Terry had. And he’s still one of the worlds best strongmen as well.

These are soooo wild. I knew about some of these but some I didn’t.

Terry hollands is by far the most impressive overall.

Terry definitely takes the win. Amazing transformation.

whaaaaaaaat? They all blew my mind damn

amazing... shocking wow...

Without a doubt Terry is my biggest inspiration. 💪💪

I honestly think that rob dixon's change is crazy

All of them , but terry holdas and magnson is shocked transformation but others i can imagine

When are you going to get on the bodybuilding stage, Loz?

Holland by far! What an amazing achievement👍🏻

Terry for me especially as he has kept and built on his strength but dixon is a great example of changing your diorection and motivations and going from one awesome thing to another: the human body is amazingly responsive to change.
