I'm gonna keep saying it in every forum I can: Get rid of the stone off. Have a 12 man final. Top two athletes in each heat advance, then top scoring third place athletes across all heats also advance. Stone off is too weighted in favor of some people and allows them to slack in the rest of the heats. It would also allow another, different event to take that spot in the heats and make things more interesting.

I agree that I prefer a stone carry as a standalone event, but I like to see frame/farmers with non-standard equipment. Arnold's frame on the ramp is exciting. Brian bringing wheelbarrows back in a medley is fun to me. Having location themed equipment is usually fun too. Myrtle Beach could have you carry crab traps.

I watch for the athletes and competition, I'm actually not that bothered about what implements they use for each event. Maybe just me?

Take the stone off out and athletes try harder at the other heat events then. Stone off only for tie breaks

I sadly feel like world’s is letting itself get overtaken by the other comps like the Shaw Classic and the Arnolds. The lack of a quality way to watch it, the secrecy, and the repetitiveness of the events really is making it feel like a 2nd tier competition, and they have no one to blame but themselves

WSM don't really concern themselves with hardcore fans. Their business model is to sell the TV rights around the world for the non SM fans who just watch once a year such as at Xmas in the UK. We may not like it not being live streamed but that's not what the organisers want. For anyone who says it's getting left behind, ask Mitch which title has changed his life the most and ask a few non SM fans and most will only have heard of WSM not the Arnold's, not Rogue etc.

Ай бұрын

@@ManofLowMoralFiber, well that’s because the Arnold is right at the start of the season and you have guys like Tom Stoltman coming in completely out of shape. The only comparable event both shows had were the Austrian Oak and the log press. Brian’s logs were heavier and made out of steel, so that probably was harder than at the Arnold’s. Last years Shaw Classic had more events that pushed the athletes to their absolute brink like leg press for reps, while the Arnold has events where some athletes just get a no lift and leave the event no more fatigued than they already were, not to mention that the Shaw Classic has more events. So it’s probably a tougher competition overall. It’s heavier, it tests more strength components, it’s longer and it’s more draining.

I was competing at the same comp in Sweden ameture categorie, u90(Viktor) and u105 Swedish deadlift records also broken what a way to start the season and a great first experience. The gym went WILD when Viktor got that log

Heat events a bit unimaginative imo, carry could have something a bit more unique than a sandbag, and I'm not understanding this recent obsession with the stone carry, car walk is cool. WSM yet again proving they don't care about the fans regarding the stone off. The keg for height and axel are great picks, the log has become a bit of a repetitive event in comps too, so happy they went with an axel this year, so looking forward to those, conans we saw last year but it did mix up the points so that could be interesting. 2 DL events I'd swop one out for something else, an arm over arm would have been good considering there is no pull this year. Maybe just me but I'm not feeling the hype for this year's WSM.

Moose will win again with Tom pushing the hardest. Lots of great guys right now, but if those 2 are healthy? It will take a great performance to top them Of course there are always surprises, but I'm fairly confident these will be the top guys

Usually I don't like variety medley's but as a tie breaker instead of stone off they should do a variety medley Then the tie breaker isn't so biased OR they keep heats the same but do them as a separate competition earlier in the year

I hope this message finds you both well. Much love to you both and all who take a second to read this. You guys be careful out there 🤙🤙

Kaos have been great. Livestream👍👍

Hello from Texas! Love the content. You guys really are the SportsCenter of Strongman.

Wsm love the max overhead. 21 log 22 flintstone 23 dumbbell 24 axel

About damn time!

Big Loz and Liz helding WSM hype together. You guys are ghe world's strongest

Agree with loz 100% about the stone carries! Heavy frame/heavy farmers walk is the way to go!

and Uncle Loz has FINALLY uploaded the video, I was already afraid the two of you are sick!

On the Webster stones, I feel like WSM has been a misleading name for years - it's not heavy enough to crown the strongest man, it's the World's Best Strongman contest (which personally, I prefer). For that, it's a great event. To determine who is purely the strongest, the Arnolds, Rogue or however we abbreviate Brian's one are all better anyway, so I'm glad WSM isn't trying to just do the same thing. With that perspective, I like these events. They're not just "how much can you lift" at all, they're a bit weirder, it's not a powerlifting contest, it's very "strongman" and, for me, that's great. Stone-off is still stupid though. 100% agree on all the thoughts on that one. It's an event for TV though, so if it genuinely gets all the reality TV viewers watching, perhaps their ad revenue is worth it I guess.

I’m a decently big dude, I think I should get one of the WSM slots. Not because I can do any of the lifts, but, you know, for reference

Gonna be a good one!

It's no longer the WSM. It's the fittest man. Thankfully, we have The Shaw Classic and The Arnold's to see who the strongest truly is.

Eyyy thanks Loz 🏆

as a long time fan , i dotn like the direction they are going. things like sandbags id prefer one heavier bag, i wanna see who is strongest not who has most endurance, or balance or anything else

Happy for Viktor for the loglift record, I remember that he was so close back in November 2023.

Deadlift tires for reps? gonna bounce

Completely agree with what you said about the stone off as an event. Looking forward to following the results for WSM though. I can see this being a close comp between Tom and Mitchell. I know Mitchell is your trainee Loz, but im going to be rooting for Tom 😂

Heat events are nothing to write home about , finals are pretty cool. Hooper will walk through these in the heat, come into the finals fresh and win. I'm hoping Tom can prove me wrong, and Evan can calm down and maximise his potential rather then showing up like someone put a back to front flexfit on a 1000lb bomb

Your idea of all athletes going side by side would be ideal for the Rogue Invitational. They already have a bunch of lanes painted for the CrossFit stuff. Give them all a farmers set or shield sandbag. Or maybe an old school wheelbarrow with an engine over the front wheels, it would be carnage

I think tthis is toms title this year. These events are amazing for him

Whaaaaat? I never thought I'd see the day.

The stone turn off. Have some power stairs or fingers as a last event in heats.

Early predictions - Mitch wins 4 events while Tom wins 2 events. Mitch, of course, wins. If Tom wants to win, he'll have to defeat Mitch at Max Axle and Loading Medley (Frame into Yoke). Tom had won the latter in '21 but won't be easy with Mitch, although not impossible.

I reckon the stone off isn't going anywhere as long as both Stoltmans are competing.

WSM should invite Thor if they haven't already, he won't accept, but I think it shows class and good faith on their part, a way to say "hey we know things have been bad but let's move past it, you're still a champion and you earned the right to be here"

The stone is particularly bad in the heats due to how it drains the athletes going into the finals... I mean look at Brian last year

since wsm20 we don't get the full show and heats on youtube anymore.. so my interest decreases

Totally agree with you about the stone off. Get rid of it and only use it for a tie-breaker or if they like the event, everyone compete. Top two overall, after the whole comp, go through. ❤

Nice bideo

I think your take on the stone carry is spot-on. It is a cool event with history, but it just is too awkward and too special which simply takes away from a pure strength standpoint.

I wonder what the plan was for worlds strongest man invites if all 3 podium spots at Europe’s were to be taken by guys not already invited since only 2 spots would be open had martins and MK stayed in. Could’ve been awkward

They need to revamp the wsm

Predictions!!

Pretty good array of events, but you should have seen me physically deflate when you guys confirmed the stone off. I knew it would be there, but the confirmation really almost kills my enthusiasm which is crazy because I love WSM. It's a sure fire way to screw anyone who isn't Tom Stoltman of any chance to podium and has cost us as fans so many opportunities to see better finals. We missed out on the opportunity to see Martins and Oleksii go head to head in 2019. We missed out on a last decent final for Big Tel, and Brian Shaw. Not to mention the people who have been injured in an event virtually no one likes or supports. A lot of times those people injured were in the 3rd spot anyway and down on points. See Obie when he tore his arm for absolutely no reason. Not to mention seeing people go through that were several points down on their heats 2nd place competitor. It's a bullshit event. As for late additions to WSM, Ab Wolders wasn't even supposed to compete in 1989, was pulled from the crowd and he ended up on the podium. Granted the sport and nature of the competition has changed over the years but we've had some great guys come in late and give us a solid performance. Sometimes it makes fans have even more support for them in the future. I know Nick Best has been a last minute guy and granted it didn't go as well for him but it was great to see. I don't think athletes should necessarily shy away from an opportunity to compete at Worlds even if it's not under the most favorable conditions.

love u 2

with these events be on the lookout for crowder. He can win his group if he’s not with Hooper.

Also unofficially released in Mitch’s video 😂

First year since 2007 that we won't see or talk about Brian Shaw in Qualifying or Finals!

Loz, you mention about the viking press being faced out so that worlds can film the athletes faces. But for who? They don't live stream it and here in Aus we don't get it on the TV 6 months later. Their KZread page rarely has full events. Again, the "premier" event? Haha
