The way he walks around, or as Liz says, "floats", always cracks me up. It's a perfect description. For a man as heavy as him, it's a weird walk that shouldn't be intimidating but it is.

Always a pleasure to see the legend Big Z

Give it ups for Auntie Liz for all the Videos

4 reps on 205kg that's one of the reasons Big Z is the G.O.A.T. Bobby not 100% but of to a good start in day one, hope he gets top 3 .

Huge credit to Loz, Shaw, Magnus, and Big Z for becoming key pieces in growing the sport after their retirement from competition.

Phenomenal first day of competition all around. Tomorrow’s events are going to be a blast too! Mitch and Andrea are looking fantastic! Thank you for sharing all of the competition and behind the scenes footage with everyone.

Met Big Z yesterday as he was just wandering. He's a lovely guy. I was starstruck 😂

Z tossing the 205kg oak for 4 is still like top 3 coolest strongman strongman moments.

It was so funny watching everyone arriving today for all the different shows at the NEC today. So you have all the craft ladies, come for their shows, the parents, with their children for the Dyslexia and neurodiversity show, the photographers, arriving with their cameras for the Photography and Video show, and a huge amount of people of various sizes, arriving for the Arnolds.

Big Z the GOAT............and yet still under rated. =P

Well done both of you. Thank you.

Thank you both! Was there in person and both the ladies and gents put on an awesome show👏 Well done to Loz on commentary Can we see Andrea and Mitch winning the Arnold’s uk 😊

Inez looking much better

2:17 I love he is rocking that Man Stache

The stream is much better than I anticipated. There is someone who is doing camera work, we can hear the commentary. A bit bummer the show is show is too soon after Ohio AC, athletes are battered or withdrawn, but it's still enjoyable, especially because it's free. Also, I'm glad Z was refereeing, Mitch is fully aware of his technique that tricks most of the judges to give him premature down calls. So far so good. As for Oskar - he posted on his IG that he has some injury on the quad so the log didn't go to the plan. As far as I remember, he was fully capeable to rep lighter log. It's a bummer for him, because he is much better athlete than currently it's visible by his performance and both Arnold's, I hope he can do well in 2nd day. His farmer's were pretty impressive though.

Big Z's little giggle at 15:55 😂

Please make sure Rauno is ready for the deadlift. We all want to see him beat Thor and Mitch. That would make the event for me.

I am absolutely amazed at your speed of content uploads and the quality. Thank you for keeping us updated.❤

Big Z is right in regards to Mitch's log, but he's definitely improved his shoulder flexibility, great pressing Mitch!

Big Z is the best to ever do it!

Your commentary was top notched 👌 Great day 1!

Loved this BTS!!

He is very happy

Appreciate all the videos you two have been knocking out this week! Quick turn around

awesome video. Big Z is the best "I am very happy"

Big Z the GOAT

I love the Big Z, Edit and we all love the big Loz, thanks Loz for your coverage.

Awesome channel all ways a good watch, keep up the good work 💪👍🤙

Big loz is the ric from pawn stars geeking out over heavy heavy weights

Good job guys keep up the good work

Was that the first time I've heard Big Z laugh?! Good to see

I want to see a full convo/podcast with big Loz, Big Z and Mitch! Would be beyond great!

To be the coach of the top 2 men's athletes and top women's athlete for day 1 must feel pretty special!

Awesomeness! All around

i love you guys❤❤❤

Thanks Loz

Mitchell hooper really is the excellence of execution, he manages his time so well and just achieves what he needs to do like a machine.

Mitch is a phenom the man never stops .

gotta give it to the women they rly put it all out there

Super👍

seeing Big Loz vid = instant like

💪🏻

Big Z ❤

I'm very heppy!

BIG Z Certification :D Then we probably need a Thor or Eddie Deadlift Certification

Thanks for all the info for this show. You guys carry the comp

The man doing the most for the entire strength athletics community also has the two best athletes. Go figure. It's almost if what you put in is what you get out.

Big Z seems such a cool guy and what a legend

I love big z dude....

Good God, why on earth Big Z always looks the same as he was in 2004 ... the GOAT is just not strong but a freakin vampire!

Very good day 1. I was super happy when i got up this morning and saw that i can go back and watch the full comp. Bed late lol. Loz, what was up w that person at the end not understanding the farmers rule? Seemed to be a bit agro. I found the rules quite easy to understand. Anywho, thanks loz and liz for this bts.

Liz on that Super Creatine

Women pressed 125 kg is 275 pounds and the men at 195 kg is 429 pounds. Mind blowing what the women are doing, more than average men can deadlift.

Are you still holding the position that there's more strongman fans in the UK? The crowd sizes between the Columbus and UK Arnold were very different

Big Z is obviously strict because he was an absolute perfectionist when competing. If i remember correctly he was an OK presser. 😂💪

Was there anymore said about hoopers farmers carry?

@Gorjiba

Ай бұрын

What about it? It was exactly by the rules that they explained 10 times during the women’s comp and another 5 times during the men’s. One drop between the lines for each length. Dropping it past the line does not count as a drop.

"Not front hold" xD

I think it was Thor's dad and he was arguing that Hooper dropped the implement twice so the last part of his walk shouldn't have counted. But guess he didn't realize you're allowed one drop for each length, rather than the whole walk.

He does, likely due to his background in long distance running. He seems to have the best conditioning of the open weight guys.

It blows that Mateusz Kieliszkowski isn’t competing. It would have been more entertaining
