Luke my wife and I were at the competition and met you at the hotel. You were beyond kind and such a gentleman. You have our upmost respect and appreciation. Take care and we wish you and Tom the best. STAY SPICY 🌶!!!
Really sad to hear that you have trolls calling you useless... So sorry for this Luke. Ive been following your channel for years, very inspirational! Keep up the great work and ignore the ignorant Trolls!
@back-door barista don't think it was Thor, it was Matt Rhodes who likes spread so much crap about athletes, he gave abuse to Shane Flowers being injured, Shane had absolute balls to carry on despite an injury, so Pa took it upon himself for the lols to meme Matt Rhodes 😆
Part of the issue I think is his shortcomings in moving events and his grip. At a Giants live that’s 2 of the 5 events where he is sitting at the bottom. Depending on the line up and how the show is going that could be quite a challenge to fight back from
Sure he does. He is a static beast, but isn’t as good with grip or moving events. He doesn’t put himself out there so he isn’t as popular. The strongman community knows and recognizes him for what he is.
Yeah, you don't want to get on his bad side. You are Luke Stoltman. It is the morning of Day 1 of the Shaw Classic. You are going through the breakfast serving. You have just taken the last serving of Nutella. Behind you in the queue, you are confronted by a great hulking Lithuanian with an expressionless face. The last thing you can remember is these four words echoing through the dining hall: "I am very angry."
You are awesome at what you do and you owe no one a apology.you and your brother inspire a lot of people.thank you for what you do for the strongman sport.
As someone who knows what it's like to train for strength based events, it's mind blowing how many times these guys compete because peak performance is really hard to maintain. Luke, you're an absolute legend man, screw the trolls and may you and Tom have all the best in your future! stay spicy lads 😎🌶🌶🌶
This video really embodies everything about you that has made me such a huge fan. Your enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and unwavering support of your fellow competitors really shows what strongman is about. You're an incredible man and an incredible athlete. Can't wait to see you at WSM next year!
Anyone who gives you and Tom any grief for this weekend will never compare to the caliber of humans that you two are. The comments they leave speak to their character. I am happy that you both have such a dedicated focus on WSM and you take the time to enjoy life when you aren't in prep for it.
Luke, you’re an inspiration to so many people, the world over. You’re one of the most overtly nice and positive athletes in strongman. The way you support Tom and stand between him and the haters speaks volumes about your humanity. It’s a shame you injured your shoulder. Take your time, listen to the medical team, do your rehab, and heal up quickly. Strongman needs Luke Stoltman.
I'm gonna copy paste something that I posted on one of Big Loz's channel, if you think that makes me a hater, i am not, thats just my honest opinion and i actually like seeing you guys compete and do well. (If you want to read this wall of text anyway lol) What kinda annoys me the most about the stoltman situation isn't even that they pulled out, which i kind of expect from them if it isn't WSM, but the way they handle the criticism. Nowadays every critcism is waved off as "haters" and they start to insult/make fun of everyone criticising them. And yes some people gone to far and attackted the Stoltman on a personal level (like some here) but at least 80% of the comments were justfied criticism written in a respectfull way. It's just bad Sport to go into a Competiton unprepared (which they both were), then come with some excuse why they have to pull out (or like the one time were Tom was at least honest Arnolrds UK) and taking a spot away from an Athletes who would have loved to take this opportunity. We saw how happy Bobby Thompson was when Mateusz pulled out before the ASC so he got the chance to compete. If it's for the Fans he could still come as a special guest, hanging out with the atheletes and fans, making some youtube content. No Fan actually gained something from him competing there, he should have come as a special guest.
Sorry but you're right and I refused anybody label me a hater because I feel something is wrong I love the stoltzman's I've been a fan for a long time! But I think they're both starting to get a little fat headed. And one more thing I think too damn much time is spent focusing on Tom and not enough focusing on Luke! Now why would that be? gee I wonder why?
I said the same thing at Big Loz. Getting tired of athletes showing up, not having trained, not in the right headspace, then pulling out because of injury (which often occurs because of lack of preparation) or just simply don't compete seriously. No one is asking all athletes to show up at every event, but the ones you go to, you need to put in the effort.
I agree with what you are saying. Also just because you told someone ahead of time doesn’t justify it. And saying you won’t be at 100% and you won’t try at all is not the same thing. Every comp guys get injured, like all of them. They all will come away with some injury, it is part of the sport. I get keeping care of your body but be prepared and just decline invitation if you know this a head of time. Don’t put in on Brain that he didn’t turn down the WSM and his brother. Of course for a show runner it makes the most sense to have that on your ticket but I do think some should be up to the athletes to turn down and offer alternatives. This isn’t hate. I love the Stoltmans but want more from them. Being a leader comes with a price and responsibility.
@@TradeWise1000 I would have liked to see him compete too. But, the reality of the situation is an injury put a stop to it. He could have tried to continue and made an injury even worse. That, my friend, would be stupid. His body and abilities are his bread and butter. To needlessly put that at unnecessary risk would be an very unwise decision. Press on through with this competition, suffer a bigger, more serious injury which could necessitate missing an untold number of comps and maybe call for surgery? Luke didn't get to where he is by making bad choices. Luke, Tom, nor any other competitor owes me anything. They don't owe you anything either, regardless of how priceless you think your support is.
Great you honoured the invite, Great for Brian to have such a massive athlete attend his event. I love the camaraderie that comes with this sport, you are human, you cannot be 100% all the time, onwards to the next one!!! Great Job mate..
Don’t listen to anyone man you went out there and put on the best show you could. The crowd there gave you the best reception possible when we were told you weren’t able to continue, those are the true fans. The ones that understand. You’re a real one staying out and meeting and taking pictures with all the fans. It was awesome being able to meet you man. Hope you have a speedy recovery and safe trip home. 💪🏼💪🏼
Never apologise Luke none of you are machines we all love watching strong man and having you and Tom in it only makes it better . Stay spicey guy's and good luck with the family
Appreciate you and your brother. I battle w depression and anxiety. Hearing your brother talk about his anxiety hopefully will shed some light on something a lot of people dismiss. Your humble personality is something else others should strive for
I agree with the guy at the 20 minute mark -- I am not a lifter, just a fan. Luke is an inspiration for all he has done for his brother. I share the videos of Tom with many of my friends who have children with autism. God bless the Stoltman clan.
Nothing to apologise for Luke. I hope the shoulder heals up well. Thanks for always putting a smile on my face every video. I love all the 🌶 Stoltman crew. Best of luck and big love from Morocco
I’m happy you were here Luke, but the health and well-being of you and Tom is what’s important… Plus I watch your channel because of Brian and Eddy Hall and because of you and Tom I now watch Kushi as well… I wish all of you the best and hope you guys are able to get the recovery you need to be 100%… I’m a Native American from USA South Dakota and I fully support you and Tom… I deal with severe depression and anxiety so I know part of what Tom goes through… I also see how strong he is to overcome everything he does…
you know what - you ARE competing at your BEST... you're supporting everyone there, cheering everyone on after taking your own health first, you're building on to your relationships no matter who 'out performs' you, your showing us ALL that you are humble and caring and true. THAT is your best.... THAT is why you're loved, cheered, admired, and why you inspire. The events are JUST path of the course - you could be up on one and down on 9 but you are still be in a position that these idiots can't even begin to understand. One day I'd love to simply be in front of you and explain how much your videos mean to me, shake your hand and smile.
The negative comments are the ones that stick the most. They say it takes 100 positive comments to counteract 1 negative one. I'll add to the positivity - you are the fkin man Luke! You and Tom as a team are inspirational as you both share your weaknesses with your hearts on your sleeve. You guys bring humanity to the sport and are better overall thanks to the strongest brothers in the world!
Your supporters will always outweigh the haters lads. Keep doing what you are doing and there will always be people there to support you. Unfortunate on the injury but better to stop than risk making it worse
Some people are never satisfied I swear. Only thing I was mad about with the whole comp was I wasn't there to buy you a beer man. You and Tom are incredible and I don't care what shape y'all are in and you're still the biggest motivation for my own strongman goals 🍻💪
You did amazing Luke, and it’s sad that Tom couldn’t make it but it’s better to recover and there’s always next year, you both are amazing guys, love you both! Keep killing the game!💕 have a speedy recovery!
Years ago at a funeral I heard a person in the viewing line say to the mother. I know what you're going through. It immediately hit me. I have no idea what they're going through. People ought to think before they mouth off about what's going on. Heal up Luke. Hope all is well when you return home.
Proud of you man. Keep your head up and ignore the negative crap. You both are very genuine and inspirational. Given me a lot of inspiration. I’ve been watching for years and never commented.
Anyone who says anything negative doesn’t know your history. You are a legend in the sport of strongman and nothing they say will change that. It’s easy for someone to sit at home and try to spread hate because they don’t know what it takes to do what you do. You take care of yourself and your loved ones and everything else will work itself out. Be safe and feel better! 👍
First of all devastated about the injury for Luke. But how awesome was it to see the old Luke have some fun before a contest mixed with the experience he is one of the masters now. Don’t care what titles he has or has not got. The man is class and is a legacy for sure. 38 yrs old and still a top athlete in his sport. And lastly big Tom is also a bloody legend I know a few people with autism I don’t begin to know what they go through but I see them go through it. TOUGH AS
Love you guys to see what time has done with no excuses ever ,he has battled through so much more mentally than anyone giving him shit , if they only knew what it takes him to compete. Now if he was an athlete without limits he wouldn't be as strong as he is now his limits make him stronger as he fights to break them and break them he does. Your brother ship is true love true strength if the people talking shit only knew and felt that kind of love and support
The amount of comradery between strongman is so freaking awesome. Drama might bring viewers for short term but seeing the amount of love and respect these guys have for each other creates a long term family amongst the athletes and their fans.
Much respect to you for what you do. No need to risk greater injury or permanent damage. Get healthy and comeback strong and ready. You and Tom are two of the best.
Glad you made it out even if you’re not in top form. It was such a fun weekend! I really appreciate how much you interact with the fans and always have a positive attitude. Thanks for the entertainment and best wishes on a quick recovery.
Just want to say that you were very smart for pulling out rather than risk further injury, never listen to negative comments about you or your brother only Idiots say that stuff. Know that I am a great fan of yours and your brother Tom, I wish you both a fast recovery and will always be rooting for you and Tom
glad to see everyone coming together throughout the event . Hopefully everyone heals up quickly and thank you for not cutting the national anthem short. Hope to see you guys at the Shaw Classic in 2023 .
You both are great. I appreciate getting to meet you Luke at the Shaw Classic. Once I’m done with the building show in Fife, I’ll be sure to swing by your gym!
Yea man don't follow the haters. You know your loved. Was awesome seeing you compete as always. Take time to heal up and slay this competition next year!
Wow. I think that’s the first time I’ve seen Luke worked up like that on a vid. I think this comp is one of those scenarios where you two were clearly damned if u do but damned if u don’t. I’m all for you two focusing on kids. We need the next generation of world class strongmen (or women!). Twins would be awesome. Worlds strongest twins 😎
anyone that comes out slagging off any athlete in any sport because of unforeseen circumstances is just disgusting, we are human, we get injuries and thats life. it was sad to hear the bad luck tom had, really hope hes ok, its great to finally see a stoltman at the shaw classic, ok it didnt go well but awesome to see you there luke. and i think its time brian came to scotland and spent a few days training with you guys, no doubt eddie would find his way there too, i look forward to the next event mate, stay spicy
Ignor the haters and the trolls dude what you and Tom have achieved together is properly inspiring and those little bottom feeders have done nothing. Stay strong 💪
Luke, buddy you and I are the same age. I had a bad flu for 1 week and I lost a ton of gains and strength, that was just recently. You doing all of this at your age and getting an injury, I understand completely. Keep doing you buddy, you inspire me with your hard work and dedication. Keep it up man, ignore the trolls and haters.
Take care of yourself Luke. Both you and Tom have nothing to apologize for. Anyone who does not understand an injury has not competed in any sport seriously and can just STEP OFF. Nuff said. I look forward to seeing you and Tom competing in the future. Kudos to Brian for putting on a great show.
Luke we all get injured or feel under the weather from time to time and there is a lot of pressure on all of us. You are a brilliant ambassador for sport, Scotland and real men don’t ever let the idiots in the world get you down. Your a brilliant sportsman and human being and that is all that matters. To hell with the idiots if they had anything about them they would have a go at WSM.
Luke pay no attention to the haters . You and Tom are absolutely epic legenda and two of the coolest strong men there have ever been . Keep going what your doing and I hope your shoulder heals up fast and strong 💪💪💪
You’re awesome Luke. Cannot freaking wait to see you and your brother there next year 100%. You still made so many people happy by being able to see you in person. Especially that fan who made her own shirt. That was awesome
Oh man you are not useless at all if anything you are in inspiration to a lot of the guys in the oil fields and construction workers that they don’t have to work those jobs. And you allow us to see your life and for that I thank you. You guys are all great and your body is your tool and if the tool doesn’t work then it doesn’t work simple as that. Rest up and make some spicy videos
Trolls are Trolls fella , they live under bridges and pick there own noses because they have nothing better to do . Keep doing you Luke we will always stand behind you and cheer you on .
Luke...ur spot on. The trolls that say Tom is nothing...obviously have no idea what they're talking about. 2 consecutive WSMs. So few people in history have ever done that. And when it comes to you, you're right. You can't be 100% every day or every competition. Again, they don't know what they're talking about. I'm glad u spoke out. Lets me tell you that the good is better than the bad. You guys are awesome. As for the haters...yeah, haters...hate on them...buy lots of their merch and hate on it too! :) Those of us who love you guys think you're not only top athletes, but 2 of the finest examples of gentlemen in the world. Keep being yourself. And, give Tom a big hug from me. One of these days, I'll get out to an event to say hi. Slainthe!
Hey Luuuuuke!!!! I was at the Shaw Classic and it was great to see you! I was the one yelling "Keep it Spicy!" I flew out from Massachusetts on the East Coast of USA! I was so bummed for you, glad it was nothing serious. Also I watched your brothers video and that was also unfortunate. Things happen and that's ok, no need to stress. I hope to meet the both of you at some point. I did not want to bother you , so I sat back and watched your other fans mob you lol Rest up and come back Spicy!
Luke just casually sitting in a 5 deg tub like he's on the beach. Luke, we appreciate the explanation, but it wasn't needed. The haters are just born to hate. Looking forward to next year big man. All the best to you and Tom.
You and those other strongmen are the BEST in the world. But you’re human, you have good and bad day and everything in between. Forget the haters and trolls, thank you and all strongmen for being a role model for all of us. You two personally have helped me through my mental and physical recovery. I’ve never been healthier because in part because of the Worlds strongest brothers! I got to stop by your gym when I came to Scotland. I wasn’t able to train there or meet you men but someday soon I hope to stand next to true giants!
Hey luke and Tom take no notice of idiots trolling remember the more successful you get the more jealous people pop out their little heads ...please know 99.9 % of us love what you do ....really enjoy all your content and the honest insight you give to us in what it really takes to be a strongman ...Big respect to you both keep smiling guys and keep doing what your doing 👍👍👍
Carry on with the honesty and truth about what it is to be strongmen, mentally and physically. You put it right, family first, business and what everyone else expects of you. Glad to see you enjoying your time there and the camaraderie of the sport. Blessings to you and yours.
Never apologize for how you perform in competition. Your fans enjoy watching your channel for you guys. Win or lose, it doesn’t matter. I know I’ll keep watching you guys even when it’s time to retire from the sport. You guys always make me life and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for all of you. Stay Spicy 🌶😃
The big difference for me is that you had spoken with Brian and made him aware that you were not ready, not primed but would come anyway. We weren't privvy to that and now that we are it changes everything. If people can't accept that Brian knew you could pull out, then there is no issue. And rightly said those trolling Tom don't deserve a thing, because that was completely beyond anyone's control. Although it did allow for a guess the weight on a bench press which was pretty cool tbh.
Success brings hate Luke ....you and Tom have changed the game of Strongman in a positive way weather people want to like that or not, injuries and LIFE happens the true supporters of the Stoltmans will stand by you and Tom if your up or down ....dont sweat the trolls , they are there because you guys are doing a great job . you and Kushi just be Happy and enjoy life and each other and now go make those world strongest little babies ...from a fan her in California We support you no matter what.
One of the things that always strikes me in strongman is how supportive the athletes are of one another, they all seem like buddies who just so happen to be really really strong 😂 obviously they switch it on for competition but it comes across as a gentleman’s sport in many ways.
Luke my wife and I were at the competition and met you at the hotel. You were beyond kind and such a gentleman. You have our upmost respect and appreciation. Take care and we wish you and Tom the best.
STAY SPICY 🌶!!!
Really sad to hear that you have trolls calling you useless... So sorry for this Luke. Ive been following your channel for years, very inspirational! Keep up the great work and ignore the ignorant Trolls!
trolls sitting in their bedrooms at mummy's house doing fuck all wth their lives!
Think he can handle them.
End of the day those trolls would struggle to bench what Luke was trying to toss feet in the air haha
It’s great to see the bond that these athletes have with one another. I can’t think of another sport where they all get along so much in competition.
That’s why it’s my favourite sport.
Thor tried to spoil that vibe but thankfully didn't suceed
@@probablecausetocheckhard-drive Yeah, icelanders usually perfer to only get along with their cousins
@back-door barista don't think it was Thor, it was Matt Rhodes who likes spread so much crap about athletes, he gave abuse to Shane Flowers being injured, Shane had absolute balls to carry on despite an injury, so Pa took it upon himself for the lols to meme Matt Rhodes 😆
Trey does not get enough credit for how strong he is.
he failed at Arnolds. but sure hea great
@@martinnilsson5295 He got 7th and beat Tom, so don't hate.
He’s starting to get that credit LOL I was very surprised he Beat Brian in stones.
Part of the issue I think is his shortcomings in moving events and his grip. At a Giants live that’s 2 of the 5 events where he is sitting at the bottom. Depending on the line up and how the show is going that could be quite a challenge to fight back from

Yeah, you don't want to get on his bad side.
You are Luke Stoltman. It is the morning of Day 1 of the Shaw Classic.

Behind you in the queue, you are confronted by a great hulking Lithuanian with an expressionless face.

You are awesome at what you do and you owe no one a apology.you and your brother inspire a lot of people.thank you for what you do for the strongman sport.
“Go crawl under the rock where you came from.” Get em, Luke.
Stay safe. Stay spicy. Safe and speedy recovery ❤️🩹

Honestly all I can think about is the caption on the Insta regarding this - “The Stoltman pullout game is strong!” 🤣.
Some people are never satisfied I swear. Only thing I was mad about with the whole comp was I wasn't there to buy you a beer man. You and Tom are incredible and I don't care what shape y'all are in and you're still the biggest motivation for my own strongman goals 🍻💪
Like ur Mrs ay pal
Brian is such a cool and down to earth guy. I really hope the shaw classic becomes just as big as the Arnold classic. He deserves it
You did amazing Luke, and it’s sad that Tom couldn’t make it but it’s better to recover and there’s always next year, you both are amazing guys, love you both! Keep killing the game!💕 have a speedy recovery!
Years ago at a funeral I heard a person in the viewing line say to the mother. I know what you're going through. It immediately hit me. I have no idea what they're going through. People ought to think before they mouth off about what's going on. Heal up Luke. Hope all is well when you return home.
Thanks for putting this out there on what wasn't your best day. Appreciate the honesty.
Proud of you man. Keep your head up and ignore the negative crap. You both are very genuine and inspirational. Given me a lot of inspiration.
I’ve been watching for years and never commented.
Win lose or draw you and Tom will always be legends in my eyes and two massive inspirations
Tom's good sportsmanship really shows!
Really awesome to meet Luke and Kushi this past weekend. Super genuine and nice people. Really awesome
Anyone who says anything negative doesn’t know your history. You are a legend in the sport of strongman and nothing they say will change that. It’s easy for someone to sit at home and try to spread hate because they don’t know what it takes to do what you do. You take care of yourself and your loved ones and everything else will work itself out. Be safe and feel better! 👍
First of all devastated about the injury for Luke. But how awesome was it to see the old Luke have some fun before a contest mixed with the experience he is one of the masters now. Don’t care what titles he has or has not got. The man is class and is a legacy for sure. 38 yrs old and still a top athlete in his sport. And lastly big Tom is also a bloody legend I know a few people with autism I don’t begin to know what they go through but I see them go through it. TOUGH AS
Love you guys to see what time has done with no excuses ever ,he has battled through so much more mentally than anyone giving him shit , if they only knew what it takes him to compete. Now if he was an athlete without limits he wouldn't be as strong as he is now his limits make him stronger as he fights to break them and break them he does. Your brother ship is true love true strength if the people talking shit only knew and felt that kind of love and support
You have ABSOLUTELY nothing to apologize for! Much love to you and your brother!
We who follow you and Tom will always have your back Luke. You are both world class competitors and even better people. 🤙🤙🌶🌶🌶🌶
The amount of comradery between strongman is so freaking awesome. Drama might bring viewers for short term but seeing the amount of love and respect these guys have for each other creates a long term family amongst the athletes and their fans.
Bad luck Luke, get well soon. All the best to you and Tom, great to see the reaction to you guys from the fans, Chin up and onto the next one......
Much respect to you for what you do. No need to risk greater injury or permanent damage. Get healthy and comeback strong and ready. You and Tom are two of the best.
team stoltman all the way , nobody stopping you guys
Just a big
Glad you made it out even if you’re not in top form. It was such a fun weekend! I really appreciate how much you interact with the fans and always have a positive attitude. Thanks for the entertainment and best wishes on a quick recovery.
The stoltman brothers' pull out game is super strong for the shaw classic.
Hope your shoulder is better! Always fun to see y’all compete.
Just want to say that you were very smart for pulling out rather than risk further injury, never listen to negative comments about you or your brother only Idiots say that stuff. Know that I am a great fan of yours and your brother Tom, I wish you both a fast recovery and will always be rooting for you and Tom
glad to see everyone coming together throughout the event . Hopefully everyone heals up quickly and thank you for not cutting the national anthem short. Hope to see you guys at the Shaw Classic in 2023 .
You both are great. I appreciate getting to meet you Luke at the Shaw Classic. Once I’m done with the building show in Fife, I’ll be sure to swing by your gym!
The national anthem befor the comp is a really nice touch !
Your a beast!!! Love watching you and your brother compete.
Saw you at the show Thanks for spending a lot of time with the fans!
Yea man don't follow the haters. You know your loved. Was awesome seeing you compete as always. Take time to heal up and slay this competition next year!
Wow. I think that’s the first time I’ve seen Luke worked up like that on a vid. I think this comp is one of those scenarios where you two were clearly damned if u do but damned if u don’t.
I’m all for you two focusing on kids. We need the next generation of world class strongmen (or women!). Twins would be awesome. Worlds strongest twins 😎
anyone that comes out slagging off any athlete in any sport because of unforeseen circumstances is just disgusting, we are human, we get injuries and thats life. it was sad to hear the bad luck tom had, really hope hes ok, its great to finally see a stoltman at the shaw classic, ok it didnt go well but awesome to see you there luke. and i think its time brian came to scotland and spent a few days training with you guys, no doubt eddie would find his way there too, i look forward to the next event mate, stay spicy
Ignor the haters and the trolls dude what you and Tom have achieved together is properly inspiring and those little bottom feeders have done nothing. Stay strong 💪
Luke please don't ever listen to the negativity you are a great person and a beast of a strong man! 💪
Luke, buddy you and I are the same age. I had a bad flu for 1 week and I lost a ton of gains and strength, that was just recently. You doing all of this at your age and getting an injury, I understand completely. Keep doing you buddy, you inspire me with your hard work and dedication. Keep it up man, ignore the trolls and haters.
tom you and luke are fantastic, wish the best to the both of you`s
Reddit is a cesspit, no truer words have ever been spoken
Much respect to you and your brother for what you do 💪
Take care of yourself Luke. Both you and Tom have nothing to apologize for. Anyone who does not understand an injury has not competed in any sport seriously and can just STEP OFF. Nuff said. I look forward to seeing you and Tom competing in the future. Kudos to Brian for putting on a great show.
Lmao the way Z was standing there was omnious the comment Luke made, was perfect 😂
Your the man Luke, you and your brother!!! Keep up the good work. You guys are amazing!!!
Luke we all get injured or feel under the weather from time to time and there is a lot of pressure on all of us. You are a brilliant ambassador for sport, Scotland and real men don’t ever let the idiots in the world get you down. Your a brilliant sportsman and human being and that is all that matters. To hell with the idiots if they had anything about them they would have a go at WSM.
Stay strong Tom and Luke we get it, when you ready you ready! Toughest sport on the planet.
Take care Luke . Hope Glasgow goes well for you and Tom and you are both fully fit, recovered etc.
Luke pay no attention to the haters . You and Tom are absolutely epic legenda and two of the coolest strong men there have ever been . Keep going what your doing and I hope your shoulder heals up fast and strong 💪💪💪
You’re awesome Luke. Cannot freaking wait to see you and your brother there next year 100%. You still made so many people happy by being able to see you in person. Especially that fan who made her own shirt. That was awesome
ada boy. Head up. You brothers are inspirations. Keep up the good work. Great content. Heal up fast.
Oh man you are not useless at all if anything you are in inspiration to a lot of the guys in the oil fields and construction workers that they don’t have to work those jobs. And you allow us to see your life and for that I thank you. You guys are all great and your body is your tool and if the tool doesn’t work then it doesn’t work simple as that. Rest up and make some spicy videos
Trolls are Trolls fella , they live under bridges and pick there own noses because they have nothing better to do . Keep doing you Luke we will always stand behind you and cheer you on .
Luke...ur spot on. The trolls that say Tom is nothing...obviously have no idea what they're talking about. 2 consecutive WSMs. So few people in history have ever done that. And when it comes to you, you're right. You can't be 100% every day or every competition. Again, they don't know what they're talking about. I'm glad u spoke out. Lets me tell you that the good is better than the bad. You guys are awesome. As for the haters...yeah, haters...hate on them...buy lots of their merch and hate on it too! :) Those of us who love you guys think you're not only top athletes, but 2 of the finest examples of gentlemen in the world. Keep being yourself. And, give Tom a big hug from me. One of these days, I'll get out to an event to say hi. Slainthe!
Luke has got to be the friendliest athlete I've ever seen. Also seemed like he was functioning at 50% during the Shaw classic. Hope ur good boss
Hey Luuuuuke!!!! I was at the Shaw Classic and it was great to see you! I was the one yelling "Keep it Spicy!" I flew out from Massachusetts on the East Coast of USA! I was so bummed for you, glad it was nothing serious. Also I watched your brothers video and that was also unfortunate. Things happen and that's ok, no need to stress. I hope to meet the both of you at some point. I did not want to bother you , so I sat back and watched your other fans mob you lol Rest up and come back Spicy!
I’m British and I personally think these stoltman brothers are the best thing to happen to strongman in a long time
Well spoken Luke,you and Tom are great for the sport of Strongman.
Never apologize for doin your best you guys are great keep up the good work brother and stay safe
Its really nice when shaw ask you do you want another attempt
Luke just casually sitting in a 5 deg tub like he's on the beach. Luke, we appreciate the explanation, but it wasn't needed. The haters are just born to hate. Looking forward to next year big man. All the best to you and Tom.
You and those other strongmen are the BEST in the world. But you’re human, you have good and bad day and everything in between. Forget the haters and trolls, thank you and all strongmen for being a role model for all of us. You two personally have helped me through my mental and physical recovery. I’ve never been healthier because in part because of the Worlds strongest brothers! I got to stop by your gym when I came to Scotland. I wasn’t able to train there or meet you men but someday soon I hope to stand next to true giants!
Hey luke and Tom take no notice of idiots trolling remember the more successful you get the more jealous people pop out their little heads ...please know 99.9 % of us love what you do ....really enjoy all your content and the honest insight you give to us in what it really takes to be a strongman ...Big respect to you both keep smiling guys and keep doing what your doing 👍👍👍
Carry on with the honesty and truth about what it is to be strongmen, mentally and physically. You put it right, family first, business and what everyone else expects of you. Glad to see you enjoying your time there and the camaraderie of the sport. Blessings to you and yours.
thoughts are with you for your injury. you and Tom don't need to apologise for anything! You guys give it everything. thank you. Big Love. X
Never apologize for how you perform in competition. Your fans enjoy watching your channel for you guys. Win or lose, it doesn’t matter. I know I’ll keep watching you guys even when it’s time to retire from the sport. You guys always make me life and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for all of you. Stay Spicy 🌶😃
The big difference for me is that you had spoken with Brian and made him aware that you were not ready, not primed but would come anyway. We weren't privvy to that and now that we are it changes everything. If people can't accept that Brian knew you could pull out, then there is no issue. And rightly said those trolling Tom don't deserve a thing, because that was completely beyond anyone's control. Although it did allow for a guess the weight on a bench press which was pretty cool tbh.
Success brings hate Luke ....you and Tom have changed the game of Strongman in a positive way weather people want to like that or not, injuries and LIFE happens the true supporters of the Stoltmans will stand by you and Tom if your up or down ....dont sweat the trolls , they are there because you guys are doing a great job . you and Kushi just be Happy and enjoy life and each other and now go make those world strongest little babies ...from a fan her in California We support you no matter what.
Love the channel mate , i hope you recover quickly !!! keep well and enjoy your trip
Love you guys, and the humanity you both represent.
Luke I’m really impressed by you. What a real gentleman you are.. such a stand up guy
We love you and Tom, don't give another thought to the haters... They'll be there no matter what.
One of the things that always strikes me in strongman is how supportive the athletes are of one another, they all seem like buddies who just so happen to be really really strong 😂 obviously they switch it on for competition but it comes across as a gentleman’s sport in many ways.
