This was really well done. You managed to be very entertaining without being at all insensitive. I would honestly happily sit and watch you two reviewing any old strongman show. Something like Pure strength with both on you on voiceover instead would be hilarious.

@@Todzil Yeah I snapped my radius+ulna years ago and it was healed in 4 weeks. Took another few weeks after the cast came off to develop the forearm muscle back, but apart from that I had zero issues. Lifted weights on it with no bother for years. It hurt like hell, but of all the things you could break those two bones are probably some of the least serious. I imagine a femur or tib/fib break would be horrendous.
Imagine having someone like lizz so supportive yet still genuinely caring for lozz is well being #strongmangoals
I just wanted to comment and say I absolutely love how knowledgeable your wife is about strong man and how invested she seems. A lot of people I'm sure think it's a given, but the passion you both have for the sport and each other is inspiring. Great video, thank you both for the content.
10 minutes in and finding this weirdly enjoyable. Not the injuries obviously but it’s fun seeing events I’ve never even heard of before, and watching your reactions is pretty funny. Liz put this list together and she’s still hiding behind her hands 😂

In Australia Nathan Jones is known as the colossus of boggo road. In his early days he spent time in boggo road jail in Brisbane and he famously ripped the door off his cell in a rage. It’s crazy how strong he was
Both of you crack me up. Thank you for not just a great video, but for making me laugh .
I’d love to see an episode dedicated to the “cursed” 1998 WSM. It seems like a very dark page in history for all involved.
I really appreciate the quality content Loz, your genuine unbiased passion shows in each video, and having a loving, supportive wife that's a big fan of the sport makes the content all that much better.

Thanks Loz for your advice in may 2020, to point me in the right direction for my recovery. ;-) ;-) ;-) cheers from Austria, Franz
Damn you have a beautiful wife Loz!
Liz putting Loz in the list 3 times probably hurt a little more than the actual injuries.

@@IosifStalinsendsyoutoGulag I had two hairline fractures on L5. It was diagnosed incorrectly as a prolapsed disc. They stretched me in physio to relieve pressure on the disc and this pulled the bone apart along one of the weaknesses. They messed around for another 6 months doing MRI scans, CT scans, blood tests, etc. Eventually, I rolled over in bed, there was a cracking noise and it broke along the other fracture. The vertebra collapsed trapping the nerves to my legs and has I had to have emergency surgery to save them, but was still paralysed for about a week. Took about a year to recover. Though it is very painful all the time and I have OxyContin 24/7. Still doing the lifting though. Just got to be very careful.

Even more unfair if you are an athlete and struggle with a sedentary lifestyle. A tip for you though. There is a new treatment out of Australia called cognitive physiotherapy that can give you an active life back, but it is very hardcore and a lot of pain in the short-medium term for a benefit in the long term all the best mate👍
Fairplay for not being shy showing all these bad injuries and doing it in such a good way glad that they all was ok afther so big respect to them and for liz to find them out and for you loz seeing the ones of yaself and still haveing the balls and madness too get bk into strongman properly again really cant wait too see how strong and in shape you can get into and all the thousands of people that will inspire to train in what ever level they can and want to keep up the hardwork in the gym and the channel as your a Midlands man and not to far from where i live so always gotta support your own town peeps big up from bidzy westmids wosta!!🏋️♂️💪👍👌
Wow great video. As much as I’ve loved strongmen contest. Been watching since the 80s . I never thought about the injuries the one that always stayed in my mind was the Franco Colombo with the fridge. My favorite growing up was Magnus Van Magnason. Thanks for great commentary you two are great together. You’ve got a new sub
Anyone else scroll down to the comments before watching to prepare for the worst ones?
Absolutely superb content, Loz.
I think I'm in love with Liz BC of her knowledge of strongman 😂😂
Great video guys! Not nearly as scary as I thought it would be thankfully.
You two are lovely, thanks for the video! This is a good reminder for all of us to train safe and smart!
I hadn't seen the wheelbarrow, Norse hammer and the Yoke injurie Have seen Magnus armbreak match so many times still... it's close to home My cousin broke his upper arm in a bar armwrestling friend game. He is okay now!!
Holy smoke that Lat injury in slo-mo...
I just watched this right before my workout. Thanks Liz!
Loz would make a damn good strength sports commentator. So many athletes move on to sports commentating and even go on to commentate sports they never have competed in. I could see him do strongman all the way to bodybuilding and powerlifting. So well informed and always respectful.

It's mad, I've been thinking about your 446 recently Loz, and whether I should ever mention it in your video comments, or if it's a taboo subject. But that 446 was going up mate, if u hadn't got that injury, that was definitely going up. & I'd never seen that side angle!, Brutal. That one and the Achilles when you're just lying there under the yoke, I remember looking at the TV thinking, I hope he's ok, I empathized with on both occasions man. Anyway all mended now. Another great video mate. Also started on the GSN pot of golds, thanks for putting those in your day in the life video, it's a quick and easy way to get your calorie & protein quota in for the day.
U guys are fantastic together. Thanks for sharing.
I was waiting for Franco Columbo
You are the most humble an down to earth strongman ever 👍🏻
I appreciate that you announce what the injury is going to be so I can decide whether I dare to watch
Awesome chemistry on screen. Great video
Thank you so much both for this unique video and specifically Liz 👌 Although i wished you included Janashia tricep tear i think 2018 WSM
Very well put together video 👏
Whats up guys! I follow you guys (and pretty much every strongman on youtube) and I just wanted to say Liz is such a nice addition! You're blessed brother!
So when Liz makes lists, this is what we end up with? Either way, very interesting! I’ve seen most of them. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful being, beautiful couple, beautiful channel ❤️ and, moreover, dear Huge Sha, your voice is mere soul and warm
I remember Franco Columbu breaking his leg on the fridge carry. I remember him lying on the gurney saying "I'm a chiropractor myself, it's dislocated not broken" 🤣
I threw up a little in my mouth watching that Atlas stone falling on that Canadian strongman. That was really grim! I wanna thank you for backing up this list with video clips. I know it is not always possible, but it can be, for me at least, hard to imagine or visualize what you are taking about. The knowledge from 'The Artist Formerly Known As Auntie Liz' who is somewhat morbid it would seem is just ... wauw! It is truly out of this world. Thank you for another great although horrible video. EDIT: Btw, didn't know Liz could speak Danish. The commentator literally said the second before she said it that it was two former World Strongest Man winners that was competing in that lorry loading with tires :D

I remember the arm wrestling one and Nathan Jones acting far too arrogant, he had that coming tbf. Still brutal though.
The arm wrestling is legendary
I really appreciated the time and effort you both put into videos. I feel as if a lot of people dont understand that even the strongest can get hurt and not enough emphasis gets put into safety education, especially watching WSM events where safety is an afterthought.
Poor Mark Phillipi. Seems like every time I saw him compete I saw him brutally hurt.
Holy cow I was tense throughout that entire vid. Proper car crash vid don't wanna watch. Can't look away 😬 Respect to all the competitors and hopefully they are all fine

This is hard to watch. I have a lot of old sporting injuries, and seeing someone get hurt brings it all flooding back.
Came here for Nathan Jones
My heart was pounding through the whole video. Was on edge, especially when she was telling you to listen to it snap 😬
I watched your vlogs of the 2019 WSM, & Always remember poor Liz huffing n puffy n grunting as she struggled to push you in your wheelchair around Orlando (I believe) airport. Franco's was the first strongman injury of them all. He was born bow legged I believe (certainly had bow legs throughout his bodybuilding career). I wonder if that attributed to his knee giving out?
LIZ!?!?!?! Now you need you to do a Loz’ best performances video!
I don't remember what year was but there was an Olympic weightlifter doing a snatch and the catch position the right arm dislocated at the elbow and the forearm dropped down into his tricep. And then to add insult to the injury the bar that came down on top of the back of his neck.
Great video, I remember watching some of these live (well .. recorded and transmitted on terrestrial tv)
First I thought of was Mark Philippi, but the worst I've ever HEARD was an athlete (sorry, blanking on the name...thinking possibly Grant Higa?) at a Canada's Strongest Man or North American Open event in the wheelbarrow walk. He simultaneously tore both quads and the blood curdling scream he let out almost made me vomit. My eyes teared up as I felt so bad for him.
Womphh now this is a good video
i was there when you tore your lat, you where in agony yet hours after you still did the meet greets and photos true worrior and a gent.💪💪💪👍👍
This is.. actually fun.
I cringed with every injury that was shown. Its crazy, I can laugh my ass off when a skateboarder injures themselves, but when athletes do it, I always shut my eyes, and sort of do an unconscious wince.
