Fun story: My sister-in-law's father (named Kurt) was Magnus's chiropractor shortly after he injured his biceps tendon. Kurt told Magnus that he did not have to pay for the treatment he received but that Kurt might be able to claim a favor later on. Kurt eventuallt did. He had a hot water heater in the basement that he needed to get up on the first floor. Magnus took an iron pipe, laid the heater down on the basement stairs and pushed it up to the first floor. When he came up, he asked Kurt. "Jeez, this one was heavy. Did you drain it on water?" Kurt responded: "Ehhh, drain it on water? What do you mean?" Lol! Magnus had lifted 120 kg of unnecessary water so it was actually a bit heavy for him too. :D Also, nice of you to upload this on the swedish national day!

Magnus is the best strongman ever! (Then again I'm Swedish so might be biased)

For me Magnus Samuelsson is not only physically strong, he's also a very strong, authentic and honest character, also Svend Karlsen.

Magnus was the original beast

This is a good little series you’ve got going. Good idea.

This is my favorite series for sure! Love these interviews with the legends! As a Swede I was so proud when Magnus won :D

One of the strongest upper-bodies of all time in strength sports and weight lifting. Big fan of Samuelsson

The fact that he's younger than Nick Best and Mark Felix is mindblowing.

Craig Jones yes and they have never been as good. Where as Magnus won a WSM and was a top contender on the podium for many years. Nick best and Felix have never been in the absolute top tier so combined with starting later in life it’s much easier for them to maintain and compete later in life.

You could see the real friendship between the top guys. The fact they all won a world's strongest Man each was very fitting

Props to all nordic and finnic men out there. Not many of us and still we manage to dominate most of the strongmen. Make north Europa strong again

His attitude and when he won it whatever year it was. fucking glorious. The fact that he took more in bench going into a gym than most will ever do glorious

Magnus Samuelsson is in Top-3 of strongest men ever that faced the earth..Only strongmen that closed the CoC#4 ..one of 4 people in the world..

One of my absolute favorites among strongmen for the last 40 years. Down to earth, modest and humble, and with a dynamic strength and agility that I believe at least partly can be traced back to his background as a farmer. Have also become a decent actor in some minor roles in TV series, where much of his real life character also seems to shine through in his roles. To see this massive guy move on to win the swedish version of Dancing with stars was almost surreal: What a great accomplishment. I hope we get to see more of him in the years to come.

Wow mate. Rolling out some legends! 💪🏼😎👍🏽

Loved watching magnus the empitomy of a strong, big, tall larger than life but humble

I remember Magnus when he first completed in WSM. It's inspiring to see him still training, and still in great shape, especially as there's only two years between us. Thanks Loz.

Magnus got pretty heavy with some of them comments, interesting views talking to someone retired and looking back. So chilled and reflective.

Said before and say it again anyone who likes youtube collabs should watch worlds strongest arms its honestly the best strongman training video ever.

My favorite strongman from back in the day.

Just started the video. Thank you so much for these interviews!!

great show again, strongman has been needing something like this for ages.

wow, another legend and another one of my heroes ! thanks Loz, can't wait for part two

Trained with friends at Samulssons strongman barn almost every weekend for a year or so. Magnus and his brother Torbjörn was really great and took time to help. Remeber cold winter mornings, push out the rally Volvos to have space to train. And it seemed almost colder in the barn than outside. The cold iron on for example farmers almost froze into the hands, or ice cold atlas stones in the arms so your whole body turned to ice :-)) Nice memories and fun to hang out with Samuelssons, and very down to earth people. Myself did not get anywhere in strongman, but was tester (tested equipment for example truckpull etc) in many national qualifier for Sweden strongest man to see if it was to light, to heavy etc. And also coach my friends in these competitions. Good times B-)

I was hoping someone would interview Magnus and my wishes came true 👏 can’t wait for part 2

Another great interview with another gentleman of the sport. Keep them coming. Thanks again

Awesome, good to see Magnus after all these years, he was a legend and I really liked watching him years ago.

Great interview with a true legend, by a true legend! 💪

Its great Loz takes time out to remember these Legends ..

Hi Loz, Really enjoyed that video with Magnus and really looking forward to part 2! Thank you for the video. Cheers, Billy

Fantastic work Loz, it is great to be able to hear one of the legends from my early memories of WSM talking about his career, keep it up!

Wow.Great again Loz! not many interviews with Magnus. This was great!

Always liked the way Magnus competed. All out never holding back. Rooted for him because although he was immense he was always an underdog. He always fought like one. Unfortunately he never had the leg or back strength to compete with his contemporaries . Happy when he won one. Being and American there wasnt many too many to root for back then. Glad hes still around and healthy.

Great interview Big Loz !! Magnus is legendary Strongman !!

Love this interview. One of the greats.

Loz you’re my biggest strongman inspiration, and these interviews are absolutely amazing.

Awesome guest and also an awesome interview. Magnus is my favorit all-time strongman so i really enjoyed this. Thanks

Amazing content recently, Loz. Keep it coming.

Great video magnus Samuelson is my favorite strongman as well. Thank you so much for the interview.

Fantastic interview, you 2 have pretty good chemistry. He is also probably the reason to why I got inte lifting, watched world’s strongest arms a number of time and a whole lot of WSM competitions

Awesome interview. Magnus is one of my all time favorite strongman. Maybe next interview the other Magnus :D another one of my all time favorite

Ahhh Laurence, I love these interviews you put together. It’s such an authentic insight and you are a great interviewer. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Great Interview. Magnus Samuelsson was my favorite Strongman growing up also. he is the reason i got into grip training. thanks Big Loz, you were another inspiration for grip training also.

These are great loz keep smashing them out 💪

Magnus was my favourite too. Loved it towards the end of his career and he got on the podium. Had amazing grip strength too

Thank you for all your hard work. You are putting out great content. It is great to hear these interviews. 👍

Fun that you have "The Man" from my country. *Thumbs Up*

Awesome content, quality and insight. Thank you Loz for creating this. Thank you Magnus. You both are the epitome of what a strongman athlete/ gentleman should be.

The one and only Magnus!

Lords of the strong men

This was a pleasure to listen too 😁and thank f**k there’s a part two 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Childhood hero of mine 🇸🇪 Great interview Loz, you are a inspiration to the Strongman community 💪

Brilliant interview!

Thank you for all hearts Poddman dude! Regards from Thailand. Here i live last 11 years! 👍❤🇸🇪🇹🇭

A favourite strongman growing up, another great vid Loz, excellent series 👍

Magnus is a great man. Just as nice in real life. I competed in national strongmans 2002-2009 and he was ref in 3 of them. Allways took his time to to cheer us up.

Keep these coming. Great content

Loz man suddenly you're the #1 strongman/podcast host in the world - where did this come from?? PS please can I be one of many to request an official weekly strongman podcast, the world is screaming for it

I always loved watching magnus growing up.

Magnus is such an awesome guy.

Terrific series! More! I would love to see Kaz and some of the 90s guys too.

Absolute Legend

Kaz Tom McGee and Geoff would be an awesome group to interview together. Talking about the early days of strongman.

Great channel and great video.

2 true legends

Legend of the sport :D

Great job Loz! You is a great host!

Laurence you should make this a podcast and upload it to Spotify, SoundCloud etc.

Good Interview. Magnus Samuelson is one of the Star Strongman.... a true hard worker.

Thank you💕👍

The music at the beginning really grates on me. Apart from that nice one lozza

yesssss Magnus awesome

Bästa Magnus!

This is wonderful! During quarantine I've gone back and watched every single WSM final on KZread. I knew a few of the old well known champions, but wasn't very familiar with the 90's and early 00's. It was a fascinating journey seeing the big names come and go, and they're always such fascinating people. This interview is wonderful, please keep doing these!

Really enjoyed this interview, magnus needs to get a pair of headphones if he will do more appearances online 💪

he was my favourite growing up too!!

Love this, love Magnus 😉

Always one of my favorites

There is always something cool and great about those guys that grew up on a farm and put their work on the farm into strength and sports. The incredible strength base that manual labour, as a child, gives you is not talked about a lot.

Much respect

Brilliant series!! Svend karlsen and Phil pfister next!!

I've heard that back in the days, when Magnus worked as a bouncer he he put his hands under a full grown man's arms and carried him out of the bar with straight arms.

Top three legends for me. Great podcast.

Awesome video again my friend what’s the chances of getting mariusz pudzianowski in the future
