Would need to be height adjusted? For every inch taller than the optimum height ,you got more work to get to moving height plus balance and safety issues as the things has further to drop when off balance. Thats just to the eye test rather than what any tall athletes have said.

@@petershortland478 If a strongman wants to climb the rankings he needs to be good at everything or atleast not really bad at many things. Bad deadlift is hard in strongman shows these days, not even Mateusz Kieliszkowski could manage that. I still think he is to small, it doesn't work in the long run.
Liz's Behind-The-Scenes with extra event footage thrown in is now my favourite way to watch strongman competitions.

@@brianmcnamara5890 I think the thing to do would be to segment the two safety logs into 5, 6, etc... "segments" and you measure based on which segment you dropped it in rather than trying to worry about fine measurements. Make each segment a meter long or so.

I dont think its a good strongman event. Its more luck based than the other events i feel. Since you need to get lucky especially on balance backwards and front. And having too many back events in one competition could fatigue athletes more. I would rather that being changed to a medley
I’ve been following strongman for about 6 years and I think this is the first time I was hyped for a SCL show. It makes me want to watch more! It’s great to be introduced to newer or less known athletes through this channel 🙏🏻
Looks like a fantastic contest, complete with highly-professional, expert commentary!
I did not expect such a spot on American accent and Martins impression from the soft spoken Scottish Andy 😂 please do more of these!
Behind the scenes? It was the whole competition! This was a great video, I’m happy for everyone that made the podium.
Andy Black was hilarious!! 😂🤣
Thank you for brining this to us. I watched many strongman champions league competitions over the years when they were broadcast on Eurosport. This made me quite nostalgic and a nice change of scene from the arena shows. Great job on the mic Loz. Simple, knowledgeable and respectful. Liz, great footage and interactions with the athletes as always.
Fantastic show, it was mine first live SCL but was better than Giants live. All athletes were brilliant. Had fantastic day out with my son, we get so many great pictures. I'm strongman fan since 1999.
Champions league Strongman was so good.
Hearing Andy talk without a Scottish accent in the intro was glorious!
Thank you Liz. My wife thought (& I agree) that you looked very elegant, even when sitting on the floor filming. Slim Loz did well. A score card of some sort would have been useful. The music was a tad loud for me. Our first ever live show. A great success . Gloucester Quays amazing area. Hope they hold SCL there again.
Aivars absolutely dominated the log, wow
Take my earlier comment back, this was awesome coverage of the event, thanks Loz & Liz 👍🏻
What a great contest. It has made me even more determined to get my long term health issues under control so I can, fingers crossed, attend it next year, if it does return to Gloucester!! Love the behind the scenes vlog as always, looked like a fantastic day. If Aviars was only at 80% the opposition wouldn't have a chance on a non-tired day 😅

Thats your one and only life gone right there.
Such unique events. Every time I see Gav Bilton I think of Danny McBride in Eastbound and Down.
The traps on loz is something else 💪
Aivers and Paul seem in a class of their own here. I read some comments before watching the video and seeing Paul mentioned a lot for his deadlift. A man battling himself to achieve, with no straps too, all raw lifts. I liked the diverse athletes here. It looked a good show. Very organic in apparatus too. Thanks.
Great job Liz with the recording💪 Gav and Andy black are two of my favorite young strongman. I look forward to their future
Looked like a great comp and event. Aivars is truly world-class. One suggestion: would have preferred to see two guys head-to-head in the stones. Not only from a competition and drama perspective but from a time perspective. With 14 guys, the guys going last had to wait a very long time.
Awesome behind the scenes, plus at least they had two pads for dropping the log onto.
All implements look very cool!
Those are such fun shows. Hopefully they'll start streaming them in the US again soon. Paul just keeps getting better and better and Aivars is such a beast. Good to see him back winning SCL's
Having been to quite a few strongman shows, I would much rather watch this sort of footage, than the front on, event only stuff that gets shown on TV Got to say, Liz has turned into a pretty decent camera woman. Always there to get the shots that show the human side of the competitors. Definitely the next best thing to being there. Many thanks to both Loz and liz for keeping us all up to date on the scene.
Love the intro 🤣Big fan of Andy 👏👏👏
Would love to have been able to go to this! I hope they return to Gloucester again!
This shoulder carry log should be included in all Giants / WSM!
Great show very entertaining Good energy
Awesome competition footage! Big thanks for bringing us the footage, love the kit they use and just the energy of the whole competition!
That opener though lol. Close your eyes and that was Martins!!!
Willing my man big Gav so much to get that last stone, an impressive showing regardless. Louis Jack looking bigger and better than ever. Surely a Giants Live invite will be on the cards.

Had a great time at the comp, hope it comes back next year. And it was great to meet you Loz
Looks like it was a great event. I'll definitely have to travel down the M5 next year. Stunning DL from Paul Smith with no straps!! Well done Aivars for the win!!👍👍
Great job on the filming and editing Liz, excellent job by Loz on the commentating, short questions requiring brief replies, as Loz understands after just competing and are out of breath, the last thing you need is some dumb ass questions, ah la a certain Giants Live interviewer!! Thanks for the upload.
That intro with Andy Black doing an American accent was fkn hilarious 😂
These SCL shows are so much better than the indoor Giants live shows. Just a shame they don't have the athletes such as Novikov and stoltman brothers and Hooper competing in them it would be much better. The events look good the log yoke and the big awkward farmers walk looked good I really like the deadlift.. Only a shame that they only had FIVE events again not enough events for a true all-around strongman contest really needs 6 or more.. Paul Smith did so well against the giants. Bloody shame these shows are not longer on TV here in England anymore.

The idea of the SCL is get newer athletes in gives them notice by the big promoters like WSM, that's why Aivors gets an invite regularly, Kelvin and Mika will probably return next year,
So cool to finally see all the giants up close. Paul was a revelation and I really thought he was going to win it. Also great to get a pic and a handshake with you, Loz. My wife was very impressed with the show in general, but specifically when we saw Lucy Underdown in the crowd - that was an unexpected treat!

Such an exciting competition. So many thrilling moments. Great video Liz.
Way to go Aviars! Great competition. Uncle Loz always delivers. What a guy to have announcing and cheering all the way.
This was one hell of a video Liz. Strongman and entertaining personalities. Andy Black is a funny guy.
Lovely coverage, you two. Well done.
Thanks for posting. Me & the Mrs had a great day at the event, the first I'd been to, was awesome to mingle with the strongmen afterwards. I had a chat & selfie with Loz, Aivers, Sean and even Terry Hollands!
BEST . INTRO . EVER 😂 you got to love Andy Black
It was an absolutely amazing day I've been a fan of strongman since I was a little girl so to watch this live was a dream come true for me . I would definitely buy tickets again to watch this event next year .
brilliant show .refreshing
Fantastic event, I would have loved to come to see this show looks an amazing place to hold it too
Great coverage, thanks
A very nice presentation of the competition, you are the best Liz & Loz❤️👍🏻🙏
Great video. I personally prefer the up close comps like this. Will have to get tickets next year
Great performance by Paul but I could not help but laugh when they showed the podium and Paul was still shorter than Gav despite placing higher.
You can see the gulf in class Aivars had. And to think he normally midpacks against the very elite which just goes to show what beasts are at the top of this game!
Damn, I remember seeing Sean O'Hagan compete in my hometown in Finland some years ago. Happy to see he's still competing and aiming higher.
