Have to agree on that one. Natural stone to shoulder is the best event for showing feats of strength. Classic, its raw, painful, heavy, technical and glorious in all its might.
Hard to say when Big Z never showed his full pressing or pulling best at his peak. But Eddie was the strongest puller and presser, so it's a strong argument, no pun intended 😎
I agree with @Prime Matt. Big Z is a 🐐 but we have to include Mr. Colorado himself, Brian Shaw. That would be my top 3; Eddie Hall/Big Z and Brian Shaw. In their own right they are all GOATs and have done amazing feats in the strongman world. It's absolutely a pleasure to watch them and others.
@bronchoped1 No, I didn't forget Thor. I do not like Thor. I can admit he has done some pretty good things as a strongman. However, he is the largest whiney man and has been so disrespectful to the other athletes. So, I don't mention him because I don't want to be disrespectful myself. He acts so entitled, it's disgusting 😒
@@GRD211 Strongest single year was Thor in 2018. Brian in 2015 was a beast though but I think his strongest performance was the ASC 2017, he was a beast in that show.
if i was there in the intreview i would answer any question , they confused alot of things wsm 2018 was in the philipines , mateusz viper press was at arnold santa monica '19 , matuesz tore his lat before the rogue invitational '21 his deadlift will never be same , tom did 240 kg at wsm '22 not 239 kg etc , but im not complaining i love these podcasts actually.
When I think strongman, I think lifting some kind of awkward stone overhead is the ultimate test. A deadlift is too technical and just feels like half a lift. I agree with Colin here! No suits, straps or tacky. Bare chested raw strength.
The event to tell us who's the strongest? Picking up and carrying a cannon on your shoulder. haha Y'all remember seeing Shaw lift that thing up and carry it on Strongest Men in History? That's power. Flipping a car over would be a good test. Would actually love to see who else can lift that Millenium dumbell that Shaw can do reps with. He can pinch grip 2x45 plates..and the Denny stone walk was great too.
Gavin “The Bull” Bilton (born 23 October 1988) is a professional strongman from Wales and a two-time winner of the UK's Strongest Man competition. He is one of the all time heaviest strongmen in the world, weighing in at 215 kg (474 lbs) during his peak.
I personally agree with Colin Bryce, I think picking up a natural stone is the best test of strength. Simply because human beings have been doing it for thousands of years since we first walked the earth. Theres nothing more primal
Love this video ! I think Tom is capable but I don’t think he’ll do it. I want to say that he is doing the journey for the youtube. I hope he is serious but rather win WSM.
He really shat the bed with his strongest of all time argument. 1. No one cares about training lifts. 2. Z has the WSM squat record with 15 reps at 329 kg in 2014. 3. Biby's got the Axle record at 217 kg. 4. Thor's got the deadlift record at 501 kg.
Why does everyone seem to forget Z matched the same reps with a heavier weight in 2014? Even on the british broadcast in 2017 they say nobody has matched Eddie yet it literally happened three years earlier. I just don't get it, surely doing the same reps 10kg more is more impressive but apparently not because it's Eddie.
@AdamA2327 I chalk it down to recency bias, fans commonly give greater importance to more recent athletes & performances. The likes of Hall & Thor brought thousands of new eyes to the sport, and it is much harder for them to remember the greatness of older generations of athletes & their performances, than the ones they see in front of them. Trust me, I've been following strongman for a long time and I've seen it happen to every "great". Even unluckier are the athletes, who would still be monsters today but didn't win the biggest titles e.g. Kiri, Badenhorst, Virastyuk, Kokylaev, Poundstone, Wilson etc.
@@AdamA-qc6nc because people didn’t see the full might of Big Z. He rep out others max for reps. Has won deadlift events. Same as Mariusz Pudz who dominated static events. It’s popularity today than then.
@@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw Yes Pudz actually did win a lot of static events although any of the maxes he ever won would be last place or close to it these days. Still a beast for his time though and if he'd competed today with the advancements I think he'd still be a powerhouse. I think he was well conditioned but there were absolute stronger men competing in his time, hence why he wasn't as good as the ASC.
Love these interviews. Would like to see Vytautas Lalas on. Really interesting bloke and massively underrated strongman in his day.
Great suggestion!
Always enjoy listening to Pa. Great podcast. @Giants we would love more episodes like this.
No problem! We have LOADS more lined up for season 2, as always including some big names!
@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN Awesome sauce, thank you. I know others will enjoy them as well.
Pa is always a joy to listen to, a funny guy and he has a lot of knowledge of strongman.
Love the show, love listening while I'm hanging out in the Garage. 💯✌️
Thanks for listening

Thanks for doing these. I look forward to each episode.
Glad you like them! Who do you want us to invite next?
I can’t emphasise enough how much I hope kieliszkowski gets fully fit and back to form
if he stayed inshape and kept training he would have won everything since Haftor
Pa is so funny, such an entertaining guy
Do you agree with Pa's choice of 'Strongest of all-time'?

@bronchoped1 You Thor fangirls are just as bad as Eddie's fanbase🙄
With Colins point of here is an object pick it up. I think the best of all time at that was Derek Pounstone
Great podcast, good to see the passion for strongman from PA too!
Very entertaining and enjoyable and nice to hear Paul Smith’s name mentioned the worlds most underestimated strong man well said.
When will giants live hold another Irish qualifier for someone else to get a chance to get to brits?
Pa's Adam bishop is great too
Luke Stoltman is the best log presser ever.
Apart from iron Bibby, Paul purjol, big z and a few more
Agree with pa about eddie being the strongest man ever.
Eddie was a beast wasn't he, my favourite is Zydrunus his log press was crazy man
I will go with Björnsson 2018-version
@@Smitlors big z is amazing no doubt
In my opinion, all time strongest is Big Z, strongest single year was Brian Shaw 2015. Eddie was a beast in 2016/17 though.

Nah
Anyone know the music they use for the intro? Sounds like a good gym song 👀
GREAT 👏👏👏
An event for Pa where he could blow everyone away would be dick or jeep!
It's never a Jeep. It's never a Jeep.
@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN it is sometimes 😬
We need the Space Cowboy song!!!!

The beast strongest man ever to live fact
I think you needed smaller chairs
That Irish Guy is pretty decent, but not as good as the Limerick Leprechaun, Paul Macguire!

Ok but they're are talking overall. Eddie statically is the strongest man alive!
Pa needs new running 👟 😆
