Big Z's interview at 50:05 is a great example of how a world's strongest man should carry himself. He hadn't won yet. He was disappointed to have come up short again, but he did not accuse anyone of cheating him. Mental strength is part of it.
I wish WSM would go back to 8 events it seems like a much more well rounded way to test for zero weaknesses and makes for a really full and engaging competition
These years were so much fun. The guys were undeniably strong, but the events frequently seemed to reward strength endurance vs limit strength. It's entertaining, to say the least. We could argue that powerlifting measures pure strength while strongman is a different animal.
51:32 Big thanks to Coke, for sponsoring The Dominator. 😂 This year was massive, almost torture like. It only makes you think about Mariusz being human even on the peak of his career, Svend's viking heart, Magnus's pride, Z's humbleness and the absolute unit Vasil was! Oh yeah, and the wacky haircuts of Raimonds.
When you see Mariusz at the end you clearly know WHY he failed that drug test 😂 Also: You gotta love one of my alltime favs - Svend - for his fighting spirit 🤩💪
@@pauldawson5395I don’t know the whole thing, I could be wrong. But if it was indeed amphetamines or cocaine or any of these so called drugs, he has got to be disqualified.
I had a mustache for 15 years while training...(when I shaved it off,) I lost all my strength ( I also stop training)..... besides the power of the mustache...there is one important factor not mentioned.... marathon runners are highly trained athletes and have achieved a strong mental ability to push the body beyond limits and through extreme pain..... although they are not known for strength...some that have gained weight have the mental tools to achieve strength achievements....I personally went from running marathons at body weight of 135..to 290...and deadlifted 780 lbs , benched 520 for three and then was injured ...then shaved the mustache off and it was all over..😮
To były czasy 💪 miałem 15 lat i oglądałem w telewizji. Mój starszy brat podczas występów w Polsce miał okazję odnieść im ciężar na linię startu. Podczas występów w Zgierzu. Człowiek miał inne aspiracje 👍 a nie jak w dzisiejszych czasach k-pop i inni pseudo chłopcy co piszczą i zachowują się jak baby. Bez obrazy dla kobiet
@@AmericanMuscle93 Thanks for the info. In those days I was reliant on the TV broadcast which never went into those kind of details. What you said would make a lot of sense.
Not only just 6 men in the final, but the qualifying round leading up to it was 11 events. So Svend got injured and we ended up with practically 5 men in the final. The real loser of this was Savickas I believe. If Svend and Hugo was in the final, and in shape, he could've gotten some distance between himself and Vasyl on the Squat Lift, Deadlift, and Safe Press to perhaps gain his first WSM title. Or Svend could've taken his second WSM title because these events really suited him
In 18 years - us fans will finally get to see 2022 competition
☠

31:23 "Not used to overhead lifting" Jaysus they didnt know about Big Z if you're going to make such a statement 😂
Svend is a legit tough dude. He was falling apart physically the whole way through and bulldogged his way through it.
51:32 for anyone looking for that famous scene of Mariusz Pudzianowski
When you see Mariusz at the end you clearly know WHY he failed that drug test 😂
Also: You gotta love one of my alltime favs - Svend - for his fighting spirit 🤩💪
Bro anyone that competes in the open class in strongman uses gear !!! Just so u know EVEN Sven !!!
@@pauldawson5395they use steroids not amphetamines or cocaine. I don’t think anyone should be using cocaine or what we typically think of as drugs
@@simdhaliwal4260 honestly I never said anything about coke or amphetamines ?
@@pauldawson5395That’s why Marius was disqualified from what I have read, and not for taking anabolic steroids.
@@pauldawson5395I don’t know the whole thing, I could be wrong. But if it was indeed amphetamines or cocaine or any of these so called drugs, he has got to be disqualified.
Vasyl as always in top 3. But that time I was proud for my compatriot very much!
Why didnt we see more of Vasyly after this?? Never featured again
Another super stacked line up with a total of 5 WSM winners (including Big Z who wins FIRST in 2009)
The irony of the commentator saying that Big Z is "not used to overhead lifting" :)
Commentator about Big Z " not sure if he is any good at overhead pressing " 😂😂😂 little did he know 😊
When strongmen had jobs! 😁
Strongman and drug tests?! Gotta feel bad for Pudzianowski for being stripped of that 3rd place win.
well, they dont test for PEDs. He got busted for cocaine
If PEDs are allowed, then cocaine should be as well. 😛
@@lukasohlsson4120 some say it was cocaine tainted tren that gave a false negative
Makes 0 sense why they did that.
@@Tom-V They didn't want snivelling guys on "meth" dying in the comp from heart attacks.
They all look like what i would think that Warhammer 40k characters look like
pudzianawski is the only strong man that actually looks like a bodybuilder
1:00 The thumb is on the wrong side of the hand on the trophy.
For me GOAT is one and only Mariusz Podzianowski
Marius cuttin up at the end😂
If vasyl would have continued to compete, I'm pretty sure he would have won at least two more titles.
Василь Вірастюк 🤘🤘🤘🌲🌲🌲🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦😎😎😎🤒👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
19:21 Wrong age for Pudz for 2004? Thought he was around 27 when this was filmed?
Mariusz always the enigma. Every other year he switches from being billed as 6'2 to 5'9 to twenty eight or thirty two.
We will never know.
@@aurelmatthews4164 I heard he was 6'5, 32 stone and and three hundred and eight years old...
Pudzianowski is the quintessential pantomime villain
A strongman who failed drug tests???
Where are Mr Olympia bodybuilders who failed drug tests???
Seriously?? 😂😂😂😂
Please what's the name of the music every time there's the event results

49:51… I don’t like to presume, however I sense he’s quite pleased with the win?..
This was fun.
Pretty interesting in 2023
What the hell happened to Raimund`s haircut?
Art 🚬
Always did this back then, for every contest that year he took the piss with his hair :D
Strongmen
Veddy stronk
10:20
Did Samuelson jump the whistle?
Drugs test ? What a joke
Is it just me or are the arms the wrong way round on the Met-Rx trophy?

Every one off them take roids... Is just stupid that they screwed Marius like that.
i think he popped for coke or meth
not gear
Heikkoja poikia.
Wow, competitors still looked like humans back then. No wonder they lost...
Pudz on 2004 have 27 y old not 30........
Mariusz was even cheating on the car deadlift.
Others too
Vasil ya no quiso competir más.
Mariusz heheh
This one was a stupid set up. Didn't enjoy watching this. Why only 6 in the final???
Yeah, I agree. Anyone know why they changed it up with the round-robin qualifying and only 6 in the final this year?
@@georgec2894 It was because 2004-2005 WSM was kinda broke and almost didnt happen

It probably cost a lot to fly all over the world; I never understood why they did that. Makes more sense to stay in one location in the USA.
Nice thumbnail... WSM continues doing everything to annoy fans.

Creature's 😅
Man, obvious when a dude uses the needle for strength!
Pudzianowski całe życie taki głupi
Big Z looking exactly like Blastoise in this one 🤣
Imo Savickas is like Venusaur, Virastyuk like Blastoise and Pudzianowski like Charizard 😆
@@pfeffer5234 that is accurate af. In the last few months ive been calling big Z the hell knight from DOOM and venusaur both
ВІРАСТЮК МОЛОДЕЦЬ₴!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta see this 2004 WSM and see if I agree with Uncle Liz or Aunt Liz
Вірастюк Чемпіон!🏆
Слава Україні 🇺🇦🔱
