    Honestly best interview so far, hes such a sound and down to earth man, maybe its because I'm Irish but he was honest and was open about his struggles. Lalas 👍
    You should think about doing motivational talks in schools I know in donegal we'd listen.

  • @Thulgore
    @Thulgore 4 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    I'd love to hear you talk to these guests about advice towards Kieliszkowski's deadlift, Novikov competing to much, how the hell is Shivlykov still walking let alone competing. lol I love that this is showcasing athletes we rarely hear from but I love to hear their opinions on the current crop as well. I never knew Vytautas spoke english this well until today. Which blows my mind. I have watched a ton of events for a long time. I had no idea. Obviously I hadn't watched enough.
    Edit: (got to what I was asking for, somewhat) Woot! Loved it when I got to you guys talking about other athletes!! Don't get me wrong I love the personal stories too. Somehow, I'm a sucker for the behind the scenes gossip.....which is odd because I fucking hate the Thor vs Eddie stuff.

    @psedokod 4 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Fantastic interview, could listen it for hours more. Lalas was a fantastic strongman and great athlete overall. Without injuries he could of easily take the torch from Savickas and win a few WSM titles. Anybody who follows Arnolds and WSM knows it could be argued Arnolds is harder just due to the sheer amount of weight they use for events. Just saw Savickas starting his own youtube channel which is also fantastic, he improved his english a lot! Anyways great interview and hope to see Lalas again and other strongmen on your channel, keep it coming and much love from Croatia!

  • @philmitchell9413
    @philmitchell9413 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I knew I liked Vytautas but after his reaction to Loz' use of a chiropractor has cemented that feeling.😁
    "It's considered a type of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), which means it's not a conventional medical treatment."
    "Chiropractic is not widely available on the NHS" and that is why it's complete BS.
    Before people jump on me I've tried them for back issues. What actually worked for me was strengthening the muscles and stretching everyday.

At some point, it would be a challenge - not to mention a great service - to put together a compilation of all the suggestions, recommendations, and answers you've all come up with as a group to make strongman competitions better around the world.

    I’ve got to say Loz!! I’ve been watching strongman for 15 years solidly and class myself as someone who knows a hell of a lot when it comes to stats/results/research and pretty much anything that’s on the web. Your series with all these hero strongmen is the best thing on TH-cam! You’ve managed to get these legends on for hours talking about stuff we’ve never heard about. Unbelievable! I can’t wait for Thor. One thing I would say is I love it when you ask the guys what there Max lifts would of been in their prime. Keep up the good work because you’re quickly becoming the most reputable TH-cam channel in strength and fitness. I say fitness because for you to grow you can’t just strictly stay in strongman. Whatever is a huge event that involves big strength we need and respect your opinion! 👌

    half of WSM issues could be solved by just moving the events indoors. would make the sound and lighting way easier for the crew, would keep the events consistent and avoid any weather problems. and then the athletes wouldn't have to be sat in a flooding tent/shipping container for 9 hours.
    I wonder if the prestige of the title will shift more to arnolds or maybe even WUS in the coming years. probably not

    Yeah Strongman was around Christmas time here in California on ESPN, I watched it on December 26th.
    Tv changed in so many ways since the 90’s early 2000’s.
    It’s hard to find the Strongman show on Cable TV now like ESPN
