Road to the Arnold - 2020 - Martins Licis / 8k
Спорт
Martins Licis-reigning World’s Strongest Man-is hoping to improve on last year’s runner-up finish in Columbus. Suffice it to say, the 29 year-old Latvian-American is no longer flying under the radar. Back in training, after winning the 2020 Arnold Pro Strongman USA Qualifier, he’s ramping up his workouts and fine-tuning his form in an attempt to take down the 2x defending Arnold Classic champion, Hafthor Bjornnson.
Rogue’s complete live stream of the 2020 Arnold Strongman Classic begins here on Friday, March 6, at 1 PM EST. 10 strongmen will compete in 6 events over 2 days for the title of Arnold Strongman Classic Champion. Rogue’s coverage of the Arnold Classic weekend will include daily episodes of the Rogue Iron Game show featuring guests from the worlds of Strongman, Olympic Lifting, Powerlifting, and CrossFit. We will also be streaming the full 2020 Rogue Record Breakers competition and the IWF Rogue World Challenge.

Gore4ever FulciLives aye you’re right it’s tough to compare but for sake of fairness I think you have to include someone like Bell who is dominating powerlifting at the moment - I don’t think many strongmen could total 1127.5kg in only sleeves, even with a few years of training - probably only Thor, prime Eddie & Z could

@@provocunt8673 Idk. The WSM contest seems to have become more about overall power (strength + speed and mobility) rather than just brute strength as it was in the past. Thor definitely has a huge edge over Martins in strength alone, but I think he's going to have a lot of trouble lugging around his 200kg+ frame.

Martins is similar to Seth Rogen, only much stronger and waaay funnier! What A character indeed!
One of my favorite personalities in strong man. You can tell that this dude is unique and though at the end of the day hes trying to beat everyone else he cares about the sport and his friends in it.
I love the contrast of Martins' size at 3:30. I'm so used to seeing him next to people like Brian Shaw and Thor and they make him look small, but then you see him next to a normal sized person and it sets in that he's actually very large.

Absolute unit!
Thor: I usually need 12-16 weeks to properly peak for a show. Martins: the past few weeks have been hard. I have two weeks to peak. It's doable. Call me naive, but I really believe if competitors never knew the events until the week of the contests, Martins would be undefeated.

Yeah, Martins has a background in a wide variety of sports which makes him probably the most allround of all the strongmen. He might not be the strongest but he's extremely skillful. I really find it fascinating how he always seems to find a way to perform even if his preparation was disrupted.

How do you not like this warmed hearted and multi talented giant.
I love the videos rogue makes about the arnold classic. They're made so well, and the cinematography is outstanding.
Martins has to be one of the most likeable people on the planet! You can't help but to want the best for him.. MARTINS!!!
Man martins seem like a great guy, I'm glad I've been subscribed to his great channel before he became wsm 2019, what I like the most about his videos is how he explains every details about the work he does and the technique and why he needs it.
Great video! It really shows how humble and genuine these guys are especially Martins Licis!!
Holly hell how can I get me one of those paintings
I would've never imagined he was a painter! They're amazing paintings.
Huge fan Martins. Was waiting for your road to the Arnold video. Rooting for you to take it home this year.
Thank you so much for uploading this. Rogue and Martins. 🙏
Definaltey my favourite outside of the brits and the vikings love his outlook on life in general. Keep going Martins!!!!!!
Martins has gotten so big since I first saw him compete, reminds of the journey Brian had taken to reach his ultimate peak. Looking forward to see Martins hit his prime. Good luck big guy
had no idea about the painting. great video, rogue. martins is easily my favorite strongman these days. love his content and his personality. definitely embodies the sport in the best ways
Currently sitting in Amherst Massachusetts watching this. MARTINS!!! ✊
Love this guy. Serious about his business but can keep things reasonably light. Best luck in competition.
The production value on this is amazing!
Not gonna lie got a little emotional watching, a savage beast training but yet so gentle to create masterpieces, with brush strokes..wish you all the best dragon!💪😎🤙👊
Good Luck to Martins! Never met, but seems to be a genuine nice guy and ambassador of the sport!
Awesome video! These vids get me hyped to train! Keep them coming. :)
I am Polish so I am fan of Mateusz but I watching your videos and I wish you to break the world record!!
Martin's is the superhero we all need right now
Love your work bro, good luck in the next show.
Great videos, Rogue. Excellent media team.
MARTINS!!!!
Seeing Martins act serious in a video is terrifying. He looks focused like a laser. Can't wait to see how everybody does. MARTINS!
I love these!
Love the creativity that they have to figure out how to train for the Conan Wheel
A legend training a young king, damn
Hope he does well he’s had it hard this last few months
Martins training techniques are incredible
Mucha energía desde Perú para la competencia de esta semana. Martiiiiiins!
CANT WAIT
Martin! You got this legend.
Fantastic material 👌Rogue take strongman for different levels 👍
I went to the Santa Monica finals and max was killing it. I was shocked he didn’t win but I really wanted to see Martins at Columbus again!
Very cool video man, love it.
I really like Martins, comes up both humble and really nice/friendly despite being an absolute beast ! Great mix between american and latvian/eastern european characters/cultures. WAR THE DRAGON !!!!!
Thanks Rogue
Legendary
These are so well made damn!
Good luck at the Arnold!!! Your fans will be there in spirit despite the damn virus scare.
Martins is so like able. Actually most of the strongmen are.
Now this is a Rogue video, wow.
This man is scary...i don't think hes even close to peaking. His focus on accessories and mobility really make it crazy to imagine where he'll be at in 5 or so years with even more mass. And hes already worlds strongest man.
That was legendary!
When Martins does his Odd Haugen voice he sounds like the Sweedish Chef from the Muppets.
Goosebumps
Mestre Arnold 💪 só mostro 💪
This is a really good Road to the Arnold video. It’s almost as good as Mateusz’s.
All I gotta say is. We love you and baby Yoda lol

I think the best thing you can do is simulate the events that are going to be in the competition in training, basically using the Eddie Hall formula. Martins definitely has an advantage with all the nice gear he's got and how he's approaching his training.
