Created in 1977, The World's Strongest Man™ has become the premier event in strength athletics. For over 30 years, the strongest men on the planet have come together in a series of unique and amazing tests of strength to determine The World's Strongest Man. The competition has travelled to stunning and varied locations such as Zambia, Iceland, Mauritius, Malaysia, Morocco, China and the USA.
For over three decades The World's Strongest Man has tested the limits of human strength, power, and endurance. The best strongmen on the planet and the most demanding challenges including Fingal's Fingers, Truck Pull, Dead Lift, Giant Farmers Walk, Plane Pull and the Atlas Stones have made the event a highlight in the TV calendar and the show a family favourite with a worldwide audience of over 220 million people.

Franco is a fuckn legend dude had numbers that just shit on people who out weighed him by so much
But weight is contributed to height. You can be a lot muscular but be short and significantly weigh less.
@@tikiortaka he was strong. At 84kg he deadlifted 340kg
@@rainkaido8607 I know.
Yeah, Franco's lower center-of-gravity definitely helped him in a lot of ways. Unfortunately, he was behind on points at the beginning of the refrigerator run, and he ran too fast to compensate, and that's when he suffered that terrible injury to his left leg.
@@Scorch1028 Yes I agree Scorch!
Man.. I'm waiting for Lou turning green while bending those bars🤣🤣🤣
It's interesting how many of these early World's Strongest Man competitors were either: 1) celebrities already, or 2) would become famous. Franco Columbu, Lou Ferrigno, and Olympian/pro wrestler Ken Patera were all at this event. These days, the World's Strongest Man competitors generally are not known outside of the sport and/or they do not transition into other lucrative areas when they retire from the sport, unlike the guys from the early days.
Not to knock on any of these guys but I think that's due to two things. No one really trained for strongman at this point, so the field was much wider and anyone who could be considered a strong man and had some profile to him was participating and two, pre-Kazmier, well known people measuring their strength against each other brought in the numbers big time at a time when the event needed supporters the most.
Old is gold.💪🏻
Franco going hardcore with his teeth.
Good ol concurrent activation potentiation...gritting the teeth when doing something very strenuous...
Awesome to see names I've heard from current strongmen!
Much respect for Ken Patera, an incredibly strong man.
His overhead behind the neck pressing is out of this world.
Would love to see this event to make a comeback
No, it's a bit gimmicky
Ken Patera looked like he was giving birth standing up.
@@turinturambar8622 Its a real show of strength though. The bars could be shorter. But then hardly anyone could bend them.
1:33 the lighting makes it look like Lou is turning green, the man was really meant to be the hulk.
This
Your comment is one of the best I've read on TH-cam, lol
Franco has unbelievable power for his size! he is competing with very big guys.
Did you see how quick Franco bent it? I mean, its steel rod and he bends it rubber.
Poteva fare meglio.
Franco is pound to pound strongest man in history
Possibly. You also have to consider that the 132-lb. Bruce Lee could hold a barbell loaded with 130 lbs. out in front of him for 20 seconds before dropping it. Pound-for-Pound, no one else has been able to hold that percentage of their body weight out in front of them for that long.
No it's samsom
@@Scorch1028 bruce lee fake
Why does everyone keep saying this?
Franco is Italian beast of muscle & strength!💪🇮🇹
1:26 Lou Ferrigno looked like the Hulk in this!
Man imagine Eddie Hall in this
Poor steel
Edfdie Hall was a fat
@@arvinvalencia7922 yea n he lift 10x kaz
@@bobmartin8933 Kaz is stronger outside of the deadlift.
@@doublem1975x squat log press axle frame carry farmers walk?
imagine being 5'6 and former 250 lbs, compressed down to 187 lbs bending that 5/8ths inch/2 foot long rebar like a piece of rubber. i'd give Lou Ferrigno a run for the money. while holdeing both ends of the rebar in one hand as i flex my type of pure strength
The hulk bent metal... In other news water is wet.. haha 😂
Love 💟 from india jharkhand jamshedpur jugsalai chaprahiya
Lou stepped off the sound strange and showed them boys what he had.
This is what can happen if you give it 110%.
1:03 He reminds me a Green monster who smahses everything.
For over 40 years it should be in the description.
Franco just 2 inches off the Hulk hes the real winner
hulk
The bar benders. What a show.
Great hair Ken Petera!
Ken Patera said he hated bleaching his hair. He had to do it for his pro wrestling character. After he was released from prison, he no longer had to have the blonde hair, and he went from playing a heel to a baby face.
Hulk win👍
Supreme power
The Hulk won!
Franco, cool. Mike Dayton too.
Hulk
He's strong but he's not as strong as the Incredible Hulk.
Franco stronger than Lou pound 4 pound!💪🇮🇹🇺🇲
I knew lou would own this
Anyone know where to find the specs for the bars
I might be trippin, But it sounds looks like they had a voice actor(s) making grunting noises and did a voice over to make it look better for tv? Lol. Maybe not idk it jus seemed to sound the same way as some old westerns and movies I’ve watched lol
Maaaan, some of these old events were out there!
I saw this. I was 16.
Changed Resolution from 480p to 1080p.
Me to Resolution: Am I a joke to you!?
This is like a scène from Jiskefet 😂
ITS COLUMBO, forward it to 1:29 and listen to the announcer, then again at 2:51
You can’t fake this.
ARNOLD SAY THAT::FRANCO IS THE MOST POWERFULL MAN I HAVE EVER SEE .....
Franco ColumbO
Always known as Columbo during his hey day. Then out of nowhere his name changes to Columbu. Mandela affect ?
Arnold wasn't a weightlifter like these guys
Sensacional 👏🏻 kkk
Lou won it he also won thr car dead lift
at least he didn't hurt his knee.
Lou won it.
Yo was that Lou
The winner is Incredible hulk
World strongest man don't pump iron to look strong on the outside.
Ouch my teeth neck and head damnnn
Terrible for neck vertebrae
Hulk wins
Golden Era Strongmen… 🤔
Четкая реклама бодибилдинга. И обман один в поле не воин
Nothing great about him, both him and Arnold where munching the Dianabol (steroid) like they where kids with M&Ms
It's funny to realize that back then they were light years away from the current level today's competitors have.
They didn't train professionly for Strongmen yet. And the sport was in its infancy
This is such a primitive event
But nice to watch
Primitive brings out more man strength bar bend is show of upper body power!😉😯🏋️♀️💪
🤓
Blonde just couldn’t do it 😤
Yeah Sammy Hagar should have stuck with singing in Van Halen.
Pure s . m = F
Белобрысый кудряжка белая🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ken Patera would have won if Bobby the Brain were there with him.
Europeans come up with the best constipation cures.
Not fair rode was a little big for franco he is strongest
Wtf lol...
Super man is the strongest.
if the could use their head and jaw, could they use their ass? I bet even I at 150lb could bend that bar if I could use my ass lol. seriously. you can get the bar under your glutes and just shrug the shoulders and the bar will bend. it would be easier than bending it over your knee
Today I learned Lou Ferrigno ain’t shit.
That's a silly competition
Some people want to be strong. How strong are you?
