mateuz mogging the stone was probably the strongest i've seen in contrast with all other competitors. nobody else could even budge the stone to shoulder. wild. lucy and thor had so much more in the tank with the deadlift but didn't even need to use it. angelica was SO impressive, but whoever watched America Strongest live knew what she was capable of. Mitch is just unstoppable, good luck to any competitor moving forward.
Way I see it, it's basically his stone now. 😂
@@Outland9000 Just rename it the Mateusz stone. He earned it.
Big Z's austrian oak might be an even bigger mogging
There were many more cases where he dominated the events in major competitions, straight out of my head I remember pulling the bizarre sled (where trey Mitchell got injured) where he was the only guy to actually finish, pulling some strange implement up a long ramp, running in farmers walk in giants live, one-motioning the log in Arnold's Santa Monica, or even throwing the stone last year. And lifting the stone 4times while few guys got any points there, at Arnold's (3 years ago? Time goes fast..). For sure not a full list..
I agree with all of those statements except Lucy. She was amazing, but it looked like she was basically at her max with the 666 lift. She had to dig deep for that one.
My favourite moment was Jardine walking the monster dumbell 5 feet back to the crash pad, whilst having it fully locked out. Insane strength and etiquette! So happy she won
And then walking it back to drop it 😂
Yeah I wanted to send her a message on Twitter about how awesome she was but apparently she doesn't have one. Maybe she'll see it here, who knows.
She's definitely my new favourite. Amazing, and all smiles!
And she didn’t even have to lol
@@yourgameisstupid
I loved watching her compete. I found her youtube channel. strongwoman_gelly
Inez hitting her face on the frame was horrible to see on the stream. What a beast for carrying on regardless 💪
Yeah very nasty indeed.hope she healing fast.
The view on the stream was horrendous. I heard the impact from the distance I was sat with all the background noise behind me. Inez is one seriously tough woman to power through that.
@mrsshahlaei451 oh god 😭 absolutely. I'm glad they dimmed straight away too. Really respect her for powering on. She must have been in so much pain and could hardly breathe!
@@mrsshahlaei451 For her to power thru that was insane! such a strength feat!
And that stone to shoulder event after.. Having to bump a huge stone to her shoulder with her swollen face taking some hits over and over 😬
Mateusz lifting that stone was crazy, mitch repping that axle like a madman, and of course thors easy easy 1006 deadlift. What a crazy show!
It was great to see both of them back in good form. Thor is still a bit off where he was with pressing power. Martins was a bit of a disappointment. Not sure if that was just too much time off between comps or something else.
Mateusz never failed a rep on the stone. And the last rep, the stone was 180degrees rotated around the vertical axis. He did not even blink an eye. Amazing
I was most impressed by Mateusz, who threw a huge boulder on his shoulder three times. I've watched it several times and I can't help but admire it. This is true pure power.
He was good and even made improvements on his deadlift.
Mateusz having shouldered the stone more than all other athletes combined is an awesome stat!
Worth Mentioning:
- Bobby Thompson does one 961 Deadlift and leaves like a Bad ass.
- Thor breaks his PR in the frame carry with 8.4s and gets Mateusz on what used to be his event.
- Hard fought battle between Thor, Mateusz and Tom for second place in the Dinnie´s.
- Mateusz and Tom Equaled former record in the 181Kg Apollon Wheel´s using Push Press.
When Mateusz started the stone run. I had my parents watching as well and my dad saying " no one is picking up that stone" its 400lbs... then came Mateusz with the flex to prove him wrong 😂😂 sad that my dad didnt believe in his own country mans strength 😅😢
8:30 that's actually a crazy stat for him. Wow
And i dont think he was at the arnolds in 2022 when Martins and I believe Oleksi both shouldered it.
Just went and re-watched the 2022 stone to shoulder Martins did 2 reps and Oleksi and Bobby both did 1. Mateusz is an absolute beast!
I went to '22 hoping to see Mateusz but he couldn't go, and when Martins got 2 reps, as good as that was, all I was thinking was "this is bs Mateusz would have 5 here" lmaoo
Loved Liz’s stat on Mateusz’s stone to shoulder
Saaaaame! Such an awesome statistic.
It really puts into perspective how dominant he is in this event! Especially considering he didn’t compete in 2022 when they had the stone to shoulder, so his rep count could’ve been even higher.
It's even better when you remember the fact that he was absent in 2022 during his recovery and that the event was still part of the competition that year. Wikipedia says that 4 of the 10 total reps were done during that comp.
So, even with a year off, STILL way ahead.
Agreed, that was a wild stat
It's a Sergueï Bubka level of domination ^^
Thor and his casual 1006 lbs deadlift 😂 love this guy !!
That stone to shoulder stat is wild. Imagine lifting more than the whole field combined
Mitchell Hooper stopping to look at the crowd when he's about to win the stone carry is the best.
The stone event takes a pure brute strength to accomplish so to me, it showed without a doubt that Mateusz was the strongest man on that stage that night.
Sure, his deadlift is behind but his ability to exert strength and power on objects not meant to be lifted will likely be unmatched for decades. The man truly is one of a kind in that regard.
The way I consider it is his unmatched ability to put power through a huge range of motion. Other peeps might be stronger on individual, very structured lifts, but if you want something awkward moved Mateusz is the guy to do it.
The guts for Inez to complete the next day A true strong woman
the most surprising performance to me was thor beating his personal record in the frame carry very convincingly. He didnt show a lot of training regarding it, but seeing that made me think that he can truly come back to 100%, if not even exceed it, which is crazy to think about. the guy isnt human
I thought he would be past his prime, but I've reconsidered.
If he gets his overhead strength back up there he'll be back for real!
@@77slate true, and then again: if someone can have a very big pec muscle tear 10 months ago, then restart training very light only a few months afterwards and then bring his overhead from 0 to a 400lbs axle within a few months, I have no doubts it will be 440 lbs in another few months of training and be back at 100% soon enough to win or place top 3 in them again
@@allylilith5605 absolutely, he's phenomenal in gaining strength, just a bit more time for the overhead and staying injury free he's going to be very very hard to beat, he's fitter now than ever too.
I would assume it’s probably harder to get the pressing power back vs deadlift. I doubt he touched those implements for years when he was doing the boxing and powerlifting. Was great to see him back.
While not the biggest lift, the visual of Hannah Linzey's deadlift with blood pouring out of her nose looked amazing.
Love a gutsy nosebleed deadlift
Sending Inez love and healing. That was a nasty injury. Kudos to her for continuing ❤
Watching Jardine on that stone to shoulder at the end was wild
Agreed. Loved the whole show, but damn she was crazy impressive!
Not only was she incredible, she was obviously having so much fun with it! Such a joy to watch ❤
Inez is my hero. Mark Henry's funny comment about the # for the women record lift was gold.
Hooper was absolute beast this event but Mateusz and Jardine stole the show no doubt !
Think Hooper with the axel was probably the highlight for me. That was crazy good clock management and raw power.
Inez and Angelica both jumped up my personal favs list from this performance.
I was expecting to see a mention of Victoria Long's injury, but I do think it was a tasteful decision to not include it here. Better to save a list like this for successes and feats. Get well, Victoria!
That face plant was brutal, but she's a beast! The women's events are becoming better and better each year. When will WSM create a WSW competition?
You'd think by now it would be by them wouldn't you. I think OSG counts as the WSM doesn't it?
@@Gndlf_TheOrange Yeah osg is worlds for the ladies and weightclass athletes!
WSW at OSG doesn't compare to WSM tho, would be great to have a proper WSW show soon
@lenisemicolon I agree. Be great if they had a dedicated show like the men do.
Inez was the warrior in this competition. Still managed to place 5th with a smashed face. Thats a testament to her true strength. I can only imagine how painful her face must’ve felt from all that exertion. Really freakin bummed about Victoria. I was excited to see her again. Sucks that it also turned out to be her final comp
Mateusz's stone lift did it for me. That statistic you provided Loz is astonishing. Odd Haugen coming up afterwards saying that "It's called the Mateusz Stone" sealed it.
I feel like you could argue that mateusz is the king of stones. He's the best when it comes awkward stones. And his fastest time on the lighter set of atlas stones isn't far off the WR Tom set a few years ago
Imo he is. He's incredibly good at atlas stones too. Remember his WUS run with one bicep torn.
If I had to pick 1, won't happen, every event was fantastic. But a shout out to Inez, the strength and mental fortitude to keep going was amazing.
ive been watching strongman for years now. and all of those things where impressive but to me seeing how thor came back, and lifted that up like it was 100 kg is insane to me.
the other thing is its crazy how matheuz has not won yet. he has had so many event wins. he really improved on deadlift. so i'm stoked for future competitions
Mat with that stone 🪨 to shoulder is just SUCH a flex 💪🏼 a pleasure to watch every time..
Mateusz at the end
Middle weight woman Pressing the Cicus DB x 2
And the female Donnie stones were the most impressive
the face full of emotion as mateusz lifts the stone for the final time had me worried he was retiring straight after. The bittersweet sensation of being so capable and so much stronger but also just not quite good enough at all the events which sets him back, a story we all know, a weight that must bear heavily in his mind. I'm glad he hasn't retired. I hope he can get some more moggings and outstanding performances in the future and maybe some titles too. Would love a rep event on squats for the arnold as that seems to be where he has the biggest chance to make it. Or maybe some WSM crazy events that happen to suit him. Mateusz deserves a big international win. Polska Gurom.
and also mitch hooper has truly brought a new era to strongman which is impressive
The foot speed on all those people running up the ramp is insane!!
Mark Henry in the background on AJ's stone to shoulder is hilarious. Watches her lift that shit so easily and just throws his arm up like "this ain't real"
When Mark Henry is shocked by your strength, you know you're doing well.
It's insane that was only Thor's 2nd attempt... a 3rd attempt would have likely broken the record, but he was smart to save his energy for the rest of the competition.
The amount of athletes rocking Evolution Athletics belts is cool to see. Brian Shaw knows what he's doing. 🤙
Mateusz is one of the greatetst!! I love this guy! This Stone looked so unreal on his shoulder..amazing.
He is one of the greatest not to win WSM
Watched, had no expectations for the women, was mightily impressed
Thor was really sending a message making that 1000 look like a penultimate warm up lift
Strongmen are a different breed, amazing.
#12 moment when uncle Loz picked up that massive dumbell back stage 👊
For me the womens show was truely special. Sam's bumbell was incredible to watch, and the stone to shoulder from Angelica Jardine as a relatively new athlete was incredible.
If Mateusz can just get his deadlift up there... he'll score so much higher! There's got to be a way.
I keep feeling like he should be spending every waking moment with a deadlift specialist coach, talking to that psychologist Eddie was seeing before he did his 500kg lift lol
Such a great show! Setting a new World Record is great. Setting a World Record and making it look easy is amazing! But setting a World Record with a smile on your face is epic!! Loved it!
7:40 Mark Henry's reaction to Angelica's stone to shoulder was priceless. That was my reaction to everything she did that weekend. Incredible athlete
Hooper is an other-worldly athlete and his performances in the timber carry, axle press and dinnies' proved that he's one of the next Greats of the sport.
Sam Belliveau's lift with a dumbbell heavier than her is astonishing.
But Mateusz has my heart with that triple stone lift and bicep pose.
Damn man, she didn't look like she hit it hard enough to do all that damage. Props to her for finishing
Imagine what Mateusz will be capable of if he brings up his deadlift. He’ll become unstoppable.
highly doubt at this point at least not to a lvl where he is competitive at this lvl of competition
A fab show. Live stream was excellent . Shame about all the injuries.
my lord what a show. heros legends! waow!
The bicep pose with the stone was just awesome and good to see a rare show of emotion from Mateusz
Mateusz! WOOHOO POWER
Hooper is a perfect athlete. Not only does he know what exactly he can and cant do, he also knows what the other guys can do and cant do. So he builds the perfect strategy for every comp. And thanks to his different sports experiences in the past he has mastered so many movement patterns which I think makes him technically superior and makes him adapt to any task more efficiently than others.
Mitch getting Arnold up and then not lifting the stone was pretty memorable as well. He's a machine, so it was great that he'd already won the event or it would have been much worse :-)
Sam getting reps with the WR👏👏👏 She thinks 100 kg is a possibility
Sam is just ridiculously good at the circus dumbbell
Yes it’s her Superpower 👍@@SchwarzeskabelGWP
I loved seeing Marks face watching all the athletes that was my favourite part of these clips
This competition was epic! Hooper's performance was unbelievable, you must be VERY proud as his coach, Loz! The Dinnie Stones world record with the side look, and the axle press 5 times for another world record, plus the frame so close to beating Kieliszkowski's best time EVER, was just ridiculous. And then Jardine came to her first professional competition ever and got the gold? And then Kieliszkowski with the stone to shoulder was just unbelievable. And how about Thor's deadlift, coming out of retirement after his injury? Even my girl watched with me and I think she started to understand better why I love this sport so much. It was very exciting! Thanks for your videos, Loz and Liz! Your channel has brought me closer to the strongman community, and recently motivated me to start lifting weights to get stronger too! With love, from Brasil! Stay strong! ❤💪
Mateusz on the stone was one of the greatest feats of strength I've ever seen. Thor's deadlift was incredible.
Loved Dr. Bills amazing commentary.
mateuz and thor are back. what a weekend for strongmen!!!!!
3:15 me carrying the groceries home.
Angellica slowly and menacingly walking from stone to stone, only to then shoulder it multiple times, was bone chilling.
Not sure if this is correct place to ask but will there be streaming for Arnolds UK like the main Arnold Classic in Columbus?
It’s frustrating Kieliszkowski just can’t get a break & win something major like the Arnold which is currently the pinnacle of Strongman because his deadlift is such a weak event for him compared to other lifters like Thompson or Hooper.
In fairness he could've won the deadlift this year and still couldn't have won the show based on the final standings.
@@Adam-gn5kh True, but it wasn’t the case last year or many other years
@janoycresva276 True, just unfortunate for him. The best to never win a major title though, well unless you consider when he won WUS in 2019. That was considered a major title for a few years.
@@Adam-gn5kh But that’s sad, to only have 1 title that’s not even considered anymore & not able to win anything else but always coming second simply because your deadlift is so low is awful. If he could just get his deadlift up to a consistent & comfortable 970 lbs, he & Mitchell Hooper would be the next Big Z & Brian Shaw of strongman.
Mateusz stone to shoulder was definitely the highlight of the whole show!
Great moments indeed. SUper Hooper is an absolute freak of an individual. Good to see Thor back and Mateusz, hope he stays injury free.
Thor is holding back on the deadlift
He won so why bother pushing further
Deffo. 1006 was _smooooth!_
Good. This gives him breathing room to focus on his pressing strength and grip.
It's not holding back when you can win the show with a warmup lol why do more
Uncle Loz, am I misremembering or did Big Z did 5 reps with a heavier axle in 2011 ASC in 90 seconds?
You are correct. He did 188kg for 5. Big X is the goat for a reason 🔥💪🏽
Definitely some protection needed on that frame for next time, it could have been so much worse. I agree her coach should have pulled her out, not worth the risk of carrying on. Sam was a monster and come on Mateusz 👍👏👏
Where can I watch more strongman competitions? I discovered this channel yesterday and didn't know I cared about strongman, until yesterday! 😂 I just want everybody to lift, I don't care about a favorite. Altough 'i'm biased for Thor and Moose for personal reasons, lol..
What an amazing weekend and great showing for #teamloz
I hope they alter the rules in such a way that its power and strength first. Olympic snatch and split jerks are not impressive at these weights when the guys next door snatch and grab 580 lbs. Brains do beat strength. But this is a strength competition, no need for rolling pullups.
10:50 Mark Henry lifting that stone with him.
Mateusz proving he is the stone king, Sam's 2x84kg dumbbell press and a wild Angelica Jardine appearing out of fucking nowhere. Absolutely crazy show.
The Moose is loose! 💪🇨🇦💪
7:32 this woman just picked me up and put me on her shoulder for reps. insane.
Really enjoyed the whole show, just amazing talent in depth, cant wait for the British Arnolds.
2:22 OUCH! It looked like she`d already hit it once already but this one musta hurt! The state of her afterwards was shocking.
Maxime Boudreault stood out for having the worst luck. First guy out on the first event, got injured on his first attempt at lifting it and had to drop out.
Did Inez break something? That looks like broken bone levels of swelling.
She gets the badass award for finishing the comp in that condition.
Soft tissue damage. She will be at the Arnold UK. Already back in the gym
i second that, crazy lifts!
Mateusz finally seeming to be back to form..........and Hafthor proving once again that he can get his body back to massive and powerful quicker than anyone I have ever heard of. This is now, I believe, the 3rd time he has shrunk down and then exploded back to monster size in a way that doesn't even seem possible.
most impressive feat, is michael coopers spine during those axle cleans
I don't follow strongwomen that much, so I was really surprised to see Jardine dominate the stones just as much as Mateusz.
Everyone was surprised since it's her first pro comp lol
these guys are beasts!
Matz is the one highlight. Awesome.
Hoop is a once in a lifetime athlete, I hope he sticks around for several years
I think Mitch is sort of the new Marius P. Not really excelling in any one event in particular or setting world records in every event, but an overall strong guy.
Thor will pull 505 or more this year
I would still love to see Mitch attempt more squat cleans or in case of the axle perhaps hang squat cleans. I am sure we are far away from what he is actually capable of.
They still let Alec Pagan near the female competitors?!
If only mateuz could address his static strength he would be unstoppable
Great effort by Moose on the axle, but it wasn't a world record. Big Z did 408 for 5 in 2011.
Mateuz just monstering the stone medley has no comparison for mine. To me split Jerk has no place in strongman for pressing, we might as well allow Sumo deadlift in the max deadlift.
6:00 whenever theres a draw for 1st place or world record i'd like to see all the competitors
Angelica Jardine is an absolute beast she’s gonna be winning a lot more competitions in my opinion
So good to see Mateusz back in the game!!! One of the best
Mitchell Hooper is such a fucking beast.
My Highlights: Lucy's Deadlift, Thor's Deadlift, Mateusz' Stonelift/Stone-to-shoulder and of course Super Hooper's Axle Press (look at that 5th lift 😱)!
Controversial opinion (maybe): T-Rex needs to learn how to dial back the intensity. I understand the adrenaline and drive, getting up for a big lift, etc., but being over amped consistently costs him points. The best of the best figure out how to get up for it, but stay in control and use good technique. Big fan - I just want to see Evan reach his potential.
