My mum watched your channel and loved u guys from day one as you are both handsome because she likes muscles she passed away yesterday She commented a lot and brought merchandise too
If Tom's struggling with these last training sessions why not stop uploading videos until the end of WSM all together? Cut down on the stimulus. Prioritise being on that WSM podium as brothers above a couple of TH-cam videos. Make your training sessions private, less pressure, provide yourselves a safe environment to work. Don't make it any harder than it already is. Above all, best of luck!!
I would agree. As much as I enjoy the training videos I think for this last block the videos at training are just a distraction. Film a few videos on the rest or recovery days and leave the training days private and stress free. Rooting for the lads. 🌶️
@@Haffa14 I hear where you're coming from but training doesn't need to exactly replicate competition... competition will always be more demanding which is why people deload and also save some extra energy/gears/focus for those big competition days...
We love you Tom! It's wise not to burn out the Central Nervous System. Mentzer and Yates would be proud of you for listening to your body, and resting.
Luke, for your stone sleeve problem, get a can of spray tacky and spray it on your forearms before you put the sleeves and tape on. The spray tack closes your pores off so you dont sweat through those areas as much and really helps with the sleeve staying tightly in place. I’ve used this method for a few years and compete in some pretty hot weather and have not had a problem with slipping. Also, not sure if you have this in the UK but ive found that the Gorilla Glue brand duct tape has the best sticking power to ensure a snug fit.
I was up Inverness and invergordon a couple of weeks back and good to see banners and posters of your pair. Scottish pride and the hospitality is amazing! Cheers from Nottingham England and all the best for WSM Lads 💪🏻
Inverness is the best ity in UK. I been going up there for 25 years since I found out how good it is. But keep it low.. Don't tell too many people 😁 otherwise they will spoil it
@@mikerobs1 Certain parts are nice but there's some horrible areas of inverness - source I spent most weekends on my life there as it was the closest city to me growing up in Thurso
As much as we love all the collaborations you guys do, maybe there's just been too much going on so close to WSM? Being able to follow your training and progress is an absolute privilege, but I'd hate for your TH-cam commitments to hamper either of your chances in competition. Managing stress is such an important factor in your training and recovery - maybe toning things back on the video/collab side of things ahead of a big comp might help keep both your heads that little bit clearer. I appreciate there might be an income element that's not so easy to work around, but I'm sure the real fans would understand if you guys took a bit of a backseat from YT in the run up to a big comp. All that said, keep smashing the sessions, look after yourselves and each other, and all the very best for WSM; really rooting for both of you! 🏴🏴🏴
but it worked out so well for Shaw. I mean look at all the stuff he's won since becoming friends with Eddie and doing TV and so much on youtube and all the collabs and....oh wait, he hasn't won or podiumed in 3 yrs.
@@jetmech9287 Shaw had a very bad hamstring that has kept him from being near the top in the deadlift. That said the stoltmans haven’t been doing the traveling Shaw did and it seems their training is on point.
Very brave of you guys to show the ups and downs of training, the physical and mental battles you have to go through. You are a real inspiration to a huge number of people.
@@leegoodman5214 yeah hopefully he places good but I’m also a realist which is why I’m not saying Brian is going to win again imo top 3 will be novikov, Tom and then maybe bish, Caron or hixy
If Luke gets better events in the group stages then he's a shoe in for the final. If he makes the final, he has to be a contender for a podium spot. No one would deserve it more either.
Great video. Not having tom at the end probably didn't help Luke. Being so use to pushing against Tom. I hope Tom gets the rest he needs. Stay safe and strong.
I know it means nothing to me personally, but i get a bit worried seeing Tom dipping a training session so close to the comp. But, like Luke points out, it might be better for Tom if he’s been so busy and is mentally tired.the weights these boys are moving could easily cause injuries if your concentration is not 100%. Lukes definitely got a lot faster on the medley, since the last time.Huge difference.
Mate if you've got nothing in the tank it's time to walk away from the session. Pushing through that could lead to injury etc. One training session doesn't win you much (in the grand scheme of things) but it can lose you everything.
Jason Prendergast Aye, he certainly did😎 Himself and Luke put in amazing performances, so maybe dipping training sessions should be a part of their prep all the time🤣
Luke my opinion , i think you have the strongest shoulders at WSM , prove me right big man , log a breeze mate , loading medley top one or two , thoughts now are you will finish top three , Tom has got get it back on track , but you have to help him without affecting your chance of podium its a hard one to call x
I think Luke might surprise some people this year at WSM. He is looking good. I hope Tom doesn't get lost on his way to Worlds lol. Just giving you a hard time Tom, I know you will smash it this year. I don't care who wins but I wanna see a Stoltman 2021 WSM winner lets go!!
WOW LUKE! YOU'RE A BEAST! I'm so proud of your hard work. YOU MOTIVATE ME TO HIT THE GYM HARDER. No one deserves to win WSM 🏆 more than you. Hey, I'm praying for you too that God keeps you from injury. Hey Tom will be alright. Since you're training full-time it's been harder on Tom to adjust completely. He's not accustomed to be challenged quite so hard. Plus he's still young. He'll come around fine. KEEP UP THE HARD WORK LUKE AND TOM - FUTURE WSM 🏆 🏆 WINNERS.
I can see that big tom gets stressed sometimes but you will push threw big man..your brothers got your back.its time for you 2 guys to get back in the gym just the two of yous and get the head down for worlds 💪💪💪 I'm rooting for you 2 ..co moan lads do it for Scotland...and big tommy we want to hear more of your facts ..lol stay positive big man and you to luke...peace ...
Im no strong man and this is just a observation, but when doing Fingals Fingers is there a rule that you can only push till the finger reaches 90Degrees? I feel if you push through the 90Degrees you will shave some time off as it looks like theres a slight pause before the finger falls. keep up the great content!
in the comp there will most likely be 5 fingers to be flipped, on the first 4 your time is best used to move to the next one once it reaches the tipping point. for the last one it would make sense to push it through the fall aswell though and I wouldnt know of a rule which disallows this
@@allylilith5605 thanks for the reply, makes total sense! As one is falling then get to the next. Guess also depends on how the finish is determined as if its soon as the 5th hits the ground its worth rugby tackling it down to the ground🤣
Hey Stoltman Bros you guys are doing phenomenal. Don’t let having a bad day hold you down. Also Luke still pressed 215 kg over head only 13 kg under the WR. Not to mention he currently owns the British log record with 221 kg. He also put 200 kg overhead for a double on a bad day. Holy crap that’s insane. And Tom I mean we know that he is King of the Stones. So keep going Stoltman Brothers I hope this encourages you awesome men, and I support you guys as best as I can.
amazing guys, just fucking AMAZING , podium for both of you is 120% sure . The world strongest brothers are going to be the world strongest man!❤🔥🔥🏴🏅👑
It's the worst feeling when you're mentally maxed out.. happens to everyone. I can relate to Tom on this one, if I have too many things coming in from too many directions I just can't focus on one of them... everything fights for the same attention and then that's it.. nothing gets done, it's like an invisible, immovable object. Luke looks in great shape.. for me these two are most powerful when they are clicking at the same time and just focussing on the next lift. I agree with all the other people who have said we'd rather not hear from you for a couple of weeks leading up to WSM if it means the prep is better for the comp. We all have your backs though.. Stoltmans for the top 2 spots this year... wan the boys.
Luke is such an asset for Tom. During training he tells him what he needs to hear, not what he wants to hear. If Tom’s mind is right on the day he can be worlds strongest man 💪🏻
See, believe, achieve, boys let's get stuck right into this w.s.m. no messing about, we are very proud of what you guys are doing. Amazing work to you both 🏴🏴🏴
I’m pulling for bryan shaw and robert oberst but these brothers are a favorite of mine also,Tom is going to be a force and i can see him and luke getting to the podium this year..all the strondmen are extremely likeable and it’s hard to pull for one guy..good luck brother’s!!
Love it lads smashing the numbers on a bad day. When the adrenaline is pumping in comp mode you lads are smashing the worlds.said it before you and tom are going to win it joint points
If you are going to wear those gloves in the contest I would recommend wearing them every single day from now until then for at least a few hours a day. Gloves are a lot different and usually much better once broken in.
I hope you get through to the finals, Luke (and Tom too). Last year was kinda upsetting (and for you even more) that you didn't make it. Remember to ice down and keep your flame burning bright thinking of giving it your everything. Don't push too hard on the log in the next weeks.
Excellent and education content, as always. I'll second (third, forth, whatever) the sentiments that training and mental prep is the most important thing. I've heard Tom comment in the past about all the obligations are distracting for him. Your fans will be here supporting you if you decided to focus on training and put a hold on the vids closer to big contests. The most important updates we want to see are both your health and you both standing on that podium (in that order)!
Man I hope Tom is okay. Seemed kinda not himself. Great job Luke keep up the great work the both of you need to be there as competitors and for each other. God bless from the states.
2:21 Luke brings a 396lb log up from his lap to his shoulders with such force that it lifts off of his chest for a split second before it settles and he presses it. So powerful, and apparently I don't even lift..😭
Overheating is something that will crush everyone training. Palmer cooling has shown to increase performance. Check Andrew Huberman for some incredible information about temperature and how it affects the body.
it's been said in older videos that Tom is Autistic so he has other issues that other wont such as if it's a bad it's more like a really bad day an just needs to clear his mind. my older brother is autistic so I've seen it first hand.
People get burnt out mate, sometimes skipping a training session not only rests and strengthens the body but rejuvenates the mind or at the very least doesn't make you start to dislike what you're doing
Nothing wrong with calling it on a training session if you are mentally or physically not feeling right. I've tried to push through in the past and it's resulted in injuries that I never came back from 100%. If you need to bail though, it's better not to leave you training partner and coach hanging. ;)
Everybody gets negative emotions and some setbacks here and there and for a professional athlete it can be hard to accept that something didn't go as planned. But this is where a great athlete like Luke seperate himself from most other people, he has the ability to "fail" a primary goal but proceed's to do one hell of a 215 after. Yeah I'm counting that one as a massive success because it flew up, there is no way he didn't have 220kg in him there. Now imagine at the competition where the adrenaline is 10 times higher and you obviously go much much harder at the biggest competition of the year. I got extremely high hopes for the Stoltman's this year and I think other athletes are definately watching this and having some frightnig thoughts.
Looking good guys ... like you said every event has to be like the last event..... going in with that mindset puts points on the board you want it that bad every second counts.... do that and no matter what the outcome you had no excuses just 100 percent put in youre a winner right there... you can do it guys 1 and 2 podium don't care which lol big love ❤🙏🙌👍
I believe right now, watching everyone else's videos and stuff, that Luke could be the strongest man in the world overall. If he shows up at 100% at WSM, not Tom nor Novikov will stop Luke from putting the Highland Oak on top of the world.
I really don't know. Obviously no hate intended, but his deadlift just isn't at the same level as many of the other competitors. That event is holding him back from winning WSM.
@@KillianDefaoite I would normally agree, but he has gotten better to the point where He would not finish last. Knowing that and seeing him, I could see him placing in general better than most others.
Love the long videos so good to watch the passion the lads have to be the best and motivate each other. Also can't wait to buy my Stoltman hoodie to complete my tracksuir
I so totally adore you boiis 😌😌😌💜. You are ever so lovely, awesome, and inspiring. I am thankful, also, for you in my life/awareness. Lately I've been dealing with having to heal and sort out physical issues, not fully knowing how to even do so successfully, it involves my organs and basically everything has been affected. I used to have seemingly infinite stamina/endurance, and now my fitness is basically 0%. My joints, lower back, etc have been in extreme pain so I was not training for a while. I do still want to move forward while I hopefully heal - i've been trying to train again to some extent, and being unable to even come close to what I used to do, vs what I know I'd otherwise be able to do if not for pain, imbalances, and blockages, is something I'm trying to not let get to me emotionally, psychologically etc but it's been hard. Like, I have all this muscle and had so much ability and I can't even use my body in certain basic ways now, and it really really sucks. Esp because I'm generally the kind of person who feels like I can and want to do ALL OF THE THINGS. I don't take "limitation" well at all, regardless of why it's seems to be a thing.. The things Luke said in this video were super helpful. And I feel kind of comforted that even you guys don't always hit your mark, but it's a matter of doing what you gotta do, do your best and carry on as appropriate, etc.. so yeah thanks for sharing your journey 💜💜💜 Also I would LOVE to date night with yall lolol LOTR is my jam. I even watched all the hours of extra footage, behind the scenes - everything on the DVDs, I am so in love with that whole world :p Also, seeing return of the king at the cinema was incredible.. the nerd-energy in the atmosphere was so gloriously strong, people dressed up as characters from the movie.. it took over the whole cinema, the place was crawling with us weirdoes and the regular civilians were notably SO confused lol. it made my heart so happy 🤣🤣 Anyways again thanks so much for being so epic and awesome and showing up as you do. You are magical and I totally appreciate the f. out of you 😌
I can see Luke being on the podium this time round.
Luke has the mentality to win WSM. He has the strength and fitness needed.
I don't think he'll win but he sure as fuck will push the other guys in the top 10 to their absolute limits
I'm hoping for Luke to cause an upset and win this year, his strategy at WUS was legit and he's only getting stronger and stronger
If he makes the final, max log first event, He has an event win in him.
@@anthonyproffitt5341 he's got a great

Bruh everyone's been shouting Tom's name. But the real MVP is Luke. His head is in it 100% and looking beastly!
Lukes head is in the game right now for sure. Working on his aggression has helped alot by the looks of it
Super saiyin!!
2:39 Level Up sound
He always seemed to be nursing Tom a bit, and now he should just focus on his own training.
It’s good to see your off days too. Luke always has a good attitude through it all.

If you are going to wear those gloves in the contest I would recommend wearing them every single day from now until then for at least a few hours a day. Gloves are a lot different and usually much better once broken in.
Too true
Come on Tom! Focus on the goal, put in the hard work with your big bro and WSM title will be yours. You have what it takes!
Never saw Luke so motivated. After seeing that iam pretty sure he will be very good at WSM2021
It's time for the Stoltman brothers to appear on that podium together, whatever the rankings, and make WSM history!
I love the aggression, it helps fuel you on the bigger lifts. Keep it up stoltmans 💪🏻💪🏻
I hope you get through to the finals, Luke (and Tom too). Last year was kinda upsetting (and for you even more) that you didn't make it. Remember to ice down and keep your flame burning bright thinking of giving it your everything. Don't push too hard on the log in the next weeks.
Big hugg to Tommie❤️
Excellent and education content, as always. I'll second (third, forth, whatever) the sentiments that training and mental prep is the most important thing. I've heard Tom comment in the past about all the obligations are distracting for him. Your fans will be here supporting you if you decided to focus on training and put a hold on the vids closer to big contests. The most important updates we want to see are both your health and you both standing on that podium (in that order)!
Man I hope Tom is okay. Seemed kinda not himself. Great job Luke keep up the great work the both of you need to be there as competitors and for each other. God bless from the states.
You guys are doing so great!! Luke smashed it in this video! Rooting for you in WSM!!!❤🌶❤🌶❤
2:21 Luke brings a 396lb log up from his lap to his shoulders with such force that it lifts off of his chest for a split second before it settles and he presses it. So powerful, and apparently I don't even lift..😭
Yes Luke we enjoy it!!👍👊💪💪
Yall is awesome!
Need to see the worlds strongest brothers on that podium together. Smashing it guys!
Good stuff guys. Thanks
Overheating is something that will crush everyone training. Palmer cooling has shown to increase performance. Check Andrew Huberman for some incredible information about temperature and how it affects the body.
Hope toms alright he’s seems to be a bit not there mentally
it's been said in older videos that Tom is Autistic so he has other issues that other wont such as if it's a bad it's more like a really bad day an just needs to clear his mind. my older brother is autistic so I've seen it first hand.
People get burnt out mate, sometimes skipping a training session not only rests and strengthens the body but rejuvenates the mind or at the very least doesn't make you start to dislike what you're doing
@@mitch4211 100% mate. Training is there to help you perform well, not beat you into the ground
Nothing wrong with calling it on a training session if you are mentally or physically not feeling right. I've tried to push through in the past and it's resulted in injuries that I never came back from 100%. If you need to bail though, it's better not to leave you training partner and coach hanging. ;)
Fairplay tom at taking a time out! We all need it now and then. Smashed the 2nd sesh luke fairplay! Enjoying the vidoes chaps
Everybody gets negative emotions and some setbacks here and there and for a professional athlete it can be hard to accept that something didn't go as planned. But this is where a great athlete like Luke seperate himself from most other people, he has the ability to "fail" a primary goal but proceed's to do one hell of a 215 after. Yeah I'm counting that one as a massive success because it flew up, there is no way he didn't have 220kg in him there.
Now imagine at the competition where the adrenaline is 10 times higher and you obviously go much much harder at the biggest competition of the year.
I got extremely high hopes for the Stoltman's this year and I think other athletes are definately watching this and having some frightnig thoughts.
Spot on growling from Luke.
Nice training lads ,but dans mullet !! Took the video to another level of viewing pleasure, thanks boys and good luck at the 🌎🌎
Can't wait for date night.
You should make it a drive in cinema night and run a competition for fans to come and join you
I hope that you the Stoltman Brothers shows the World that you are going for the bigt win
Toms not inly letting himself down, hes letting luke down also, their a team man, gotta stick it good or bad. Well done luke 🤙🏼
nearly there boys, keep focused on the prize its there for you both. keep her lit
2 top blokes love the vids keep on being spicy and we all be cheering you on at worlds just go in and smash the lot of them wimps me badgers
I hope you all put Robert to shame in the log press at worlds! Good luck guys, I believe you have what it takes to make a run at the title
Luke needs to win this and be the ultimate influence for his lil bro...
200kg for an attempted triple is just crazy to think about..when he went for the 3rd rep my head almost blew off
Sometimes the best thing you can do is tap out for the day. If you're head's not in it fully there's no sense risking injury.
Got to show little brother who is the best good luck for the worlds
Luke will win WSM this year, looks unreal
Its 105 here is Sacramento today. Train for extreme heat my brothers
You fucking launched that 215kg though, taking that extra second to get balance and youre golden. lets go boys
Looking good guys ... like you said every event has to be like the last event..... going in with that mindset puts points on the board you want it that bad every second counts.... do that and no matter what the outcome you had no excuses just 100 percent put in youre a winner right there... you can do it guys 1 and 2 podium don't care which lol big love ❤🙏🙌👍
Great attitude from Luke that 💪
Keep that attitude going luke love the the way your attacking the reps you and dan work great together 💪lets go stoltman
WSM 2021
I believe right now, watching everyone else's videos and stuff, that Luke could be the strongest man in the world overall. If he shows up at 100% at WSM, not Tom nor Novikov will stop Luke from putting the Highland Oak on top of the world.
I really don't know. Obviously no hate intended, but his deadlift just isn't at the same level as many of the other competitors. That event is holding him back from winning WSM.
@@KillianDefaoite I would normally agree, but he has gotten better to the point where He would not finish last. Knowing that and seeing him, I could see him placing in general better than most others.
Brian Shaw is stronger than both Stoltmans combined.
That was obvious sarcasm if you didn't know.
You don’t train for your best days, you train for your worst.
You look knackered Luke. Training hard, bet your looking forward to a rest before worlds. I really hope you can make the podium
Gonna try and replicate the front hold with lbs instead of kgs. Wish me luck!
Top three finish this year Luke.
Love the long videos so good to watch the passion the lads have to be the best and motivate each other. Also can't wait to buy my Stoltman hoodie to complete my tracksuir
Cmon Tommy boy make an old Scott happy you and Luke 1&2 W S M I know you have it in ya!!!
I so totally adore you boiis 😌😌😌💜. You are ever so lovely, awesome, and inspiring.
I am thankful, also, for you in my life/awareness. Lately I've been dealing with having to heal and sort out physical issues, not fully knowing how to even do so successfully, it involves my organs and basically everything has been affected. I used to have seemingly infinite stamina/endurance, and now my fitness is basically 0%. My joints, lower back, etc have been in extreme pain so I was not training for a while. I do still want to move forward while I hopefully heal - i've been trying to train again to some extent, and being unable to even come close to what I used to do, vs what I know I'd otherwise be able to do if not for pain, imbalances, and blockages, is something I'm trying to not let get to me emotionally, psychologically etc but it's been hard. Like, I have all this muscle and had so much ability and I can't even use my body in certain basic ways now, and it really really sucks. Esp because I'm generally the kind of person who feels like I can and want to do ALL OF THE THINGS. I don't take "limitation" well at all, regardless of why it's seems to be a thing..
The things Luke said in this video were super helpful. And I feel kind of comforted that even you guys don't always hit your mark, but it's a matter of doing what you gotta do, do your best and carry on as appropriate, etc.. so yeah thanks for sharing your journey 💜💜💜
Also I would LOVE to date night with yall lolol LOTR is my jam. I even watched all the hours of extra footage, behind the scenes - everything on the DVDs, I am so in love with that whole world :p
Also, seeing return of the king at the cinema was incredible.. the nerd-energy in the atmosphere was so gloriously strong, people dressed up as characters from the movie.. it took over the whole cinema, the place was crawling with us weirdoes and the regular civilians were notably SO confused lol. it made my heart so happy 🤣🤣
Anyways again thanks so much for being so epic and awesome and showing up as you do. You are magical and I totally appreciate the f. out of you 😌
LUKE IS THE MAN, STAY STRONG!!! 👍👍💪
I would defo join
Awesome workout. Make that look easy.
