Genetics.

But bigz did that record in the middle of competition. Other strongmans are concentration particular on log. If bid z woukd have training for log alone, he would have pressed 240kg.
@B Dean they both have to be put in a league of their own either one could have been 6 time WSM if it wasnt for the other. Greatest Riviera ever in strongman.
@B Dean Zydrunas has a massive edge in longevity though and also an edge in their head to heads if I'm not mistaken (at WSM and the Arnold Classic combined it's 8-5 in favour of Z).
Big Z when born.... I'm very happy. First bottle.... I'm very happy. First words..... I'm very happy. First steps..... I'm very happy. 216kg on the Log.... I'm very happy. 💪🤣😂🤣😂
Big Z used to break records on his way to the podium. He didn't need any separate contests with one event built around him and his personal performance, including or not including other athletes. He focused on winning IFSA, WSM and the Arnold's, but the world records he set was just a positive side effect of his road to another win. Fun fact: from 2002 to 2016 he was never pushed from the podium in any top notch competition he participated. Unfortunately, many fans prefer records over wins. But keep in mind that records meant to be broken, but victories stay forever.
@@Chrontard Haha not sure I'd go quite that far buddy 😂 since Z really was just an insane log presser, like Thor for example could rep deadlifts Z couldn't do for a single. Z was unbelievably gifted at pressing and when he took to the stage and repped 205kg four times is surely one of the greatest feats of strength ever.
I think they just want to question the athletes after lifting heavy too quickly. It's hard to talk breathing heavy after lifting big weights. Check out his TH-cam channel. His English is not bad at all!
well your head after hitting a max is kind of a blank space no matter what. Now imagine it's not just a PR but a WR at the same time. No deep analysis to be expected right after the lift
Radzikowski was a beast in log! Always a step behind Z.. if not Z, Radzik would get so much more recognition. It's a bit like with Dominique Wilkins and MJ xD
@@getstrongby4038 just a giant dude who could leap on the first floor. Was the 2nd best scorer in the NBA for a few seasons but few people heard of him - exactly like with Radzik and Big Z..

I used to be just like these guys..I use to squat 700lbs BP over 600 with no spotter...10yrs ago I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis Now I cant even open a loaf of bread on my own..damn why me..
you've been dealt a harsh hand, but I'm proud of you for diving so deep into strength and hitting those numbers, you're a different kind of strong now, and I'm sure you've already proven yourself!
porque no esta Eddy Hall ?? es el único que puede disputar el Titulo con Big Z - Why is Eddy Hall not here? He is the only one who can dispute the Title with Big Z
Why is Big Z so good at Log Pressing?
@@IxxI911 He is very Heippy
He uses castleberry methods and techniques still he never be stronger than brad hahaha
@@IxxI911 U said so 😂😂😂
Simple. Because he is better than Eddie.

Hard to believe this was 9 years ago. Can’t wait to see live Strongman again in the UK! 💪🏽
We can’t either!
01:54 let's go LOZ!

So glad the vytalas said such great things about you, you deserved it
I'm with Phil Pfister. I don't think we'll ever see another one like Z, when it comes to pressing.
Big Z you broke every single record in history right now, what do you feel?
Big Z : "I am very happy!"
1x Fortissimus, 2x IFSA, 3x Europe’s, 4x WSM, 8x Arnold’s Champion. Zydrunas is strongman.
Finally, a video that doesn’t have Eddie as the centerpiece
i'm a diehard Brian Shaw fan, but I won't argue with anyone who says Zydrunas is the greatest of all time.
@B Dean they both have to be put in a league of their own either one could have been 6 time WSM if it wasnt for the other. Greatest Riviera ever in strongman.

And victories get money
@@quangpham6373 records too nowadays...
He get records and victories, he gets it all, Big Z is the greatest for surr
And in later years (2014-2016) he lifted 205 kg for reps at the Arnold's. The Greatest of All Time, and it's not even close!
Lmao makes me laugh how even now they make the log 195kg because nobody can rep the 205 log. Z was in a world of his own when it came to the log.
@@AA-tq7dm thats embarassing :D

He's so humble man...I love this guy
Worlds Happiest Man
00:23 perfect answer from Big Z!
as always
Big Z has the best responses to questions! I wish they'd ask him simpler ones, though, as there seems to be quite the language barrier for him.

'BIG Z' Savickas he is a giant!
They have used the Islandic flag for Italy 😄
Saw it too lol
Eddie only got 160kg😳😳 . He did improve a bit I guess
I AM VERY HAPPY
Big z taught everyone else how to do this lift. He is the GOAT for this event.
You know how old this is when you see how SMALL? Eddie Hall is.

Without a doubt he’s the greatest of all time
Genius
But bigz did that record in the middle of competition. Other strongmans are concentration particular on log. If big z trained for log event alone, he would have pressed 240kg.
Big Z is the strongest man to ever walk the 🌎
Too strong love from india
Good to see Zydrunas was Very Happy
Eddie was baby, and drinking milk on these times.
His records might get beaten but Big Z will remain the greatest log presser and the greatest strongman
I used to be just like these guys..I use to squat 700lbs BP over 600 with no spotter...10yrs ago I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis

*_GREAT 👏👏👏_*
can we just say that scotlands strongest man is incredibly stereotypically scottish
What's the diameter of this log?
Get big z back to Wsm this year!!
Big Z Is The Best Strongman Ever
Man, Eddie is so skinny!
You should try doing the navy seal test since your strong yk
Days
👌👌👌👌
Is that an 8 inch log or am I stupid?
Such a small diameter. Makes it harder
It was very heavy weight 😆No shit 🤣🤣🤣
GOAT
