I 100% agree there should be strict standards in strongman

Id say yes standards for each event. But not standards that all shows must follow. As lomg as each show makes the rules and standards clear for that particular show event.

yes. but also no. there should be some guidelines. but a big charm of the sport is that it's not regulated more than necessary.

@@jacobsvetich8735 great explanation. The Shaw Classic does really well with all of that information and planning, though some believe it’s a bit too thorough

Uncle Nic's great, kind of missed him from the days he was a regular on Brian Alsruhe's channel

Agreed that the world records should have standards. Neither of Biby's lifts for example should have counted, neither should Tamara's at the Arnold's.

I’m so pumped I’m going to my first WSM ever. I’m a fan of all of them, but Brian is my favorite. I think Evan Singleton will be the dark horse. As long he stays injury free

I hope Evan will be able to put on a show. As a fight fan, I love his antics 😂

@@alanrastelli yeah I’m a huge fight fan too so I’m always cheering on for Evan. He is looking really good in training. He just has bad WSM luck with getting sick or injured. I hope it’s behind him.

@@youtubeconnollyfamily he just needs a power rack to bang his head against before each event and he'll be fine XD Honestly, i hope the best for him

Remember when that keg landed on Brian Shaw's shoulder and vaporized? Haha. Anyway, Bobby is awesome, a powerhouse..numb feet and all.

I want to see more of Nicolai! As someone who wants to get into strongman it's nice to be able to see guys in my weight class.

Mayers looks like a "light" version of Bobby xD

That misload made me a Nikolai fan. I keep showing that video to people when they're think my 45kg press is impressive. Because we weigh about the same.

Bobby's looking really good, Laz has worked wonders with him to keep that top-level static strength while dropping his weight and getting him fitter

21:56 Only Brian Shaw !!

Bobby 2.0 is a force to be reckoned with.

Nicolai Myers is a funny dude, get him on the channel more

Always had a feeling Bobby could be a WSM winner, dude looks in great shape

This was alot of fun to watch. Thanks guys!

That moment with Loz and Anthony Furman still cracks me up. He's mid way through a meltdown when Loz without looking says "he needs to compose himself now". Anthony seems to take that as a message to pick the mic back up and get on with the show 😂

This was a fun video Liz, very easy going and great insight into how well Bobby is doing. Myers is fun to watch as well. Got to see him compete at OSG and that was just a blast! Thanks for the vid!

Bob's keg toss run looked great, not sure how much practice he's had if any, but he looks like a natural, the trajectory is perfect.

Nightmare looking a new man !! Fast & powerful !! Podium threat for sure !! Go Bobby

Bobby is a Virginia guy. I definitely pay attention to him. I do believe Uncle Loz has made a change in Bobby. And that's awesome.

This was a great episode.

Keep the vids coming Loz!!

Great comp. Well done Andrew. Bobby looks fit

Real enjoyed this episode

Bobby is s just an awesome strong man. He just has that crazy power.

I've often wondered why Bobby always looks so stiff when he's pressing. The toe thing makes perfect sense. Glad to see he's slimmed down. Should be a great showing at World's.

With all of the deserved respect for the guys at Clash, it’s so incredible how good they are but also clear how much better the professionals are - wauw! Strongman is getting to such a high level!

It would be great to see Bobby in the podium.

i love you guys❤❤❤

Bobby throwing the kegs is the difference between a heavyweight vs a lighter Strongman like in the contest. So many of the contestants struggled with the 50kg kegs.

The amount of epic beardage in this video is truly astonishing

Dude has great traps and shoulders

Out of curiosity, in competition, do the athletes have to wait for a down signal before the dumbbell comes down from overhead? Or does there just have to be a full pause at the top of the rep?

You have to have it locked out, judge needs to view it as stable then gives down command. Some judges will want it stable for longer than others but there is no rule on a specific time.

Bobby looks ready to slay

i have a Metal toe does not hold me back from anything but you cant control the arch in your foot you cant make your toe move towards yours heel

He is going to podium very soon..

The judging in strongman is a mess tbh. I like magnus a lot but he and others are very inconsistent

That’s amazing that training disabled athletes can benefit your athletes that do not compete in disabled contests.

@3:20 that's what she said

Loz's traps could barter a peace treaty between Ukraine and Russia

Is Thompson Left handed? Whoo

Jesus, Bobby has abs at his size. That's scary

I feel like crap today tried 300 log fail butt did 355 last week for a dub don't make sense

I wonder what it would be like to be coached by Loz in person. You must have so much more effort in you to do better.

Is he really just training the one arm? Or just on camera? That seems like a major problem for muscle imbalances.

@steveunderwood8145

It’s not really training one arm per se. He’s practising a strongman event (circus dumbbell) and most strongmen are only co-ordinated enough to do the event with their dominant arm. I’m sure Bobby trains both arms and shoulders equally, but here is just practising the movement, which is throwing up and catching the weight at the top.
