@Marcus Bailey Yeah lift 500kg, win one major show and self proclaim strongest man to ever live. When this here is the real strongest. Winning 8x Arnold Classic, like 16x Lithuania's strongest, 4x WSM, 2x IFSA and still fucking going. Having the log record for over 20 years which has been hotly contested. Eddie complained about Thor, aiming for Eddie's record, but Eddie only training for the deadlift record and not competitions for a time period to get the record is somehow fine? Eddie then only trained specifically to beat Big Z's record and failed, while Big Z was beating his own record almost every year while not even training specifically for it. Big Z was a great deadlifter himself, 527kg Hummer Deadlift, holds the record I believe so if Big Z wanted to give up winning shows and only train deadlift, he would be more than capable of beating Eddie but he isn't like Eddie who turned up to most shows only to come and break records and then leaves halfway through and makes an excuse to always leave so that the self proclaimed Strongest Man to ever live doesn't hurt his fragile ego and he gives himself and his fans a reason to never win another show. Big Z in Arnold Classic in 2017 at 40 years old with an injury, this is at fucking 40 years old, like 10 years after his prime while Eddie in his prime called himself the Strongest Man ever to live that exact year after only winning WSM once, not ESM, not Arnold Classic and the only major show his entire career and not even in dominant fashion, and after self proclaiming deadlift as the most impressive lift only because he had the record in it, and his stupid fans buy into it like deadlift is the only event in Strongman. Real classy. Only people more delusional than Eddie are his fans.
@@olderthanyoucali8512 Eddie owns the world record in the axle lift (a shoulder power lift) at 476 lbs (216kg). He has some super strength in those shoulders! Big Z is the champ, but Eddie was making a name for himself regarding shoulder strength!

Best log presser of all time! Get a 235 or 240kg press and it will probably stand for decades. I think the record will go soon though sadly. Iron Bibby and Eddie are after it. To be over 40 and still this good is amazing! Joints must be screaming. Age is just a number. Congrats Big Z!
I'd say that Eddie Hall in his prime was the only comparable strongman to Big Z in shoulder strength! Big Z still #1, but on a good day Eddie can press well!
I'm his prime if the craze was there of lifting 500kgs, den Big Z would hv done it in a strong man competation, he did 524 hummer tire deadlift without breaking a sweat, no one is as strong as him simply all tym greatest strongman no question at all...
One big reason I love Z is because he is insanely strong but also remains humble. Not saying Eddie isn't a nice dude too, but he definitely has a bit of an inflated ego and can come off pretty cocky
MitchPete this was 2017 Manchester just because he has a deadlift wr and axle by 1kg don’t make him the strongest ever z has a 286 bench Eddie has 285 in comp z has 15kg heavier log has a better squat look at what Eddie really did in 2016/17 won 1 major comp worlds & two world records lost to thor whilst thor suffered a stroke in Europe’s fact Eddie dropped out of more comps than he won in his career how can you say a man that does that is the strongest ever
indeed, Eddie Hall never won a European Strongest Man title, great athlete but non so versatile and fast and resilient, and even not always the greatest static strength
Big Z is the GOAT. Especially on pressing and squats. Man was untouchable throughout his prime, which lasted longer than any strongman ever. Truly one of a kind. That shoulder was basically a launchpad for weights However, I still believe for a fact that 2017 Eddie is the strongest human being to ever walk the planet earth, statically at least. Nobody, not even Big Z comes close to his versatility in all static lifts. Yeah, this particular event looked off for Eddie that day (which is weird cause his shoulders are just another launchpad of its own). But it doesn't mean Eddie was far off Big Z, even at this point of their career. Just a bad day, and for which he would more than compensate later. Eddie would actually go on to break Big Z's both world records of Axle and Log press in his peak. This event definitely taught Eddie some lessons from the GOAT on how to deliver it at the right moment
@@abhijithanilkumar4959 Not really, they are fairly equal on most lifts all things considered. The biggest difference I notice is Z makes it look easy and Eddy usually collapses like he's about to die. th-cam.com/video/3qv1oHZhfEU/w-d-xo.html

Here i fixed it for you xD
If I'm not mistaken Z is pretty underpowered here from an injury and still made this look easy. Strongest guy who ever walked the planet right there.
He was injured throughout his career (mostly). I went to the same gym with him (I was a kid back then) xD
serious neck injury that left him unable to overhead press for like a year plus he was 42-43 years old and only 7 months back into training
You didn't watch till the end, he says he is happy with this result after very serious injury
Antarctic Vortex I agree.
Eddie had a very bad hip injury there
Big Z is simply the greatest. His longevity and victories over the years are unrivalled.
