This is why I love strongman so much more than bodybuilding, there's just so much more camraderie, and positive vibes amongst the athletes. Gentle giants, for sure.
Thanks for sharing Nick. It’s important that the athlete’s have each other’s back and that the fans have the athlete’s backs. As a fan I’ve enjoyed the sneak peaks, but I don’t want them to come at the expense of anyone’s contract or pay day.
The contractual terms shouldn't exist in the first place. Imagine top level football players having to hide how their matches went throughout the year... The covid thing wasn't sent to Julian (World's Strongest Fan) directly either apparently which I believe because it was on Reddit before it was on WSF posted by someone else. Anyway, we all know WSM is a tv show primarily, not a sporting event lol
Nick I totally agree that some things Julian does are not ok but I gotta say as a fan I like being updated on the results and I am still watching the whole competition when it comes out. PS: Julian actually isn't monitized (you can see in a resent post on TH-cam) so he made just a few bucks last month. That's what he said.
@@WorldsStrongestFan dude you're all over the comments covering your ass lmao.. If it wasn't that serious you wouldn't be replying for literally hours.. You keep coming back here to say something 😂😂😂😂 now you bring up nicks wife for no reason like you did with Terry and loz.. Just stfu
Glad to hear someone finally say you don't have to be 200kg to win. Too many casual fans thinking you have to be a monster and focusing on the deadlift. There's more to strongmen then deadlifts. You want deadlifts? Watch powerlifting instead.
Nick, really cool how you carry yourself. Even though I'm 29, I highly respect you and try to learn from Champs like you. Wish nothing but the best for you, and your family. Same for everyone else who reads this.
I’m glad you got to be there. It was great to see you compete, from what we’ve seen so far. I can’t wait to see the whole show. You’re an inspiration to everyone especially, us over 50 guys.
My first time watching a Nick Best youtube video, great down to earth content and insight, and Nick always came across as someone who's just a good fun dude to have in your life. Subscribed!
I am glad that u were able take part. That is so so wrong of one of the strongmen 2 actually do that. Do hope he gets rimmed a new one. Best man won, but as fella Scot was actually hoping one or both of the stoltman brothers got up there.
I was so happy to see you get your invite Nick! It was also heartwarming to see you be the father figure for those newer athletes that seemed to be stressing out. Huge achievement to have 10 wsm participations!
Gota say, seeing you mentor and help the guys like you did was truly honourable man. Also you're support for the guys was awesome. It's obvious to most fans how you've been competing in the WSM scene for so long. Your stem cell video was awesome too by the way.
Thanks for sharing the inside information Nick. I never knew there was such cameradery amoughts the strongman. Another reason to love the sport so much. Hope too see you compete again next hear and make the heats. Cheers all the best mate.
Congratulations on your 10th WSM! I think Oberst's beard and bare feet caused the false positives. Did they lower the bar height for the keg toss this year?
Hey nick, great video man! Idk if you were aware but Aaron Page passed recently due to covid. I was hoping for a few words in the video, I wish his family well. Heartbreaking to lose a strongman!
As good as it was give them royal shit for not live streaming it. TV deals and contracts aside it is beyond silly in this day and age to not live stream an event like that.
I think pretty much every fan agrees with this. Haven't met one that said otherwise. Even Big Loz mentioned that when he was competing, he didn't notice it, but now being a fan and having to wait for results made him see what fans go through every year.
Youve been a Great Example to me since I saw the silver dollar squat. I had been a fan of some of the newer strongmen because of Martins or Brians youtube channels. That was Inspiring, for me to push myself. But the Brotherhood, and Comraderie was great.
Good morning Nick. Sorry to hear all the negative, and not so savory actions. Money, and social media does influence people to do things they normally would not do. I sent many hours watching all the updates from many different sources, and it seemed to be a frenzy of who posted updates first. Big Loz was by far the most professional source on this subject. Have a great weekend all. Now go encourage somebody today. Much Love.
Just found this channel through Brian's channel, which I've been watching for a few years. May I say that, you do really well when you are speaking ad lib, from your heart. I look forward to watching your channel grow as time goes on. Great content!
Good to see you there Nick, specially with out a good prep for the show. It is easy to see how much you love the sport and enjoyed the time there! Congrats on tenth WSM
Love you Big Nick!!!! Thank You for everything and for keeping us posted brother!!! Yes, definitely agree with you on the whole Scumbag thing too. Just not cool..... At All!!!!!
Big fan, Nick, and think it's awesome you got your tenth WSM! The thing I've loved about Strongman is all the guys like you and Brian that are true sports and not unethical egomaniacs. So to hear someone broke ranks is very disappointing. They'll have a lot of apologizing to do for sure. Here's hoping you get 11.
Same, I was gutted for Luke Stoltman too. He, Tom, and Brian made up my top 3. I'm not so sure with Brian anymore, but maybe both Stoltmans can make podium next year.
The sport of Strongman needs an operating board where all competitions fall under and that board puts forth the rules and regulations for the sport. Similar to the NBA, NCAA, MLB, etc. I think Brian Shaw mention the need for one on a video he made though that was awhile ago.
I really enjoyed seeing you coaching the young guys coming into the finals, and thank you for going out with little to no real notice and compete for us as fans for a 10th time. I’ve always loved watching you compete and the positive energy you bring to the shows you have competed at. The leaks are pretty despicable. One of the things that has really let me down as a fan of the sport is the lack of sportsmanship in the last couple of years from a few people in particular. (Mainly Thor, which is unfortunate because he has always been a fantastic competitor at WSM since his 2011 debut) This is another mar on the camaraderie that has always been a part of Strongman and should be dealt with severely. We don’t need that. Even 1988 with Kaz saying Jon Páll was a paper champion, by the end of the contest they were praising one another. (Great year, too)
Colin need to step up his game. He is 20 years behind the times. Really weak game for working with the strongest men in the world. Loz, his wife, and Julian did an amazing job thanks to supportive athletes.
@@xprettylightsx What was the issue with the screenshot? Why was it getting leaked such a big deal? And if there was some cringey / scummy behaviour done it probably was @World's Strongest Fan, who is just accumulating enemies at this point.
Nick. You seem like such a great guy on tv and the tube. And, you are really knowledgeable about stuff at WSM. I asked Loz a few questions about WSM, and I want to see what you might say. What in your opinion is the minimum static strength this year to make the finals? What other minimums do we need? What one event could change this years outcome if things went differently? How could one of the top six win overall without winning a single event? Can Mateus beat Novikov? Ok. Thanks.
I actually find it disrespectul that Nick doesn't have more subscribers. He truly is a great guy and I wish him all the best!
I'm still surprised that a sport based around human strength, something most people want to be good at, isn't one of the most popular sports.
Yeah seriously, if there was a strongman stock to buy, I’m dumping some $ in for long term
I learned more about what happened at WSM this year in the first two minutes of this video than the rest of youtube. subscribed.
Lol! Right!!!!!!!
Big loz covered the whole deal day by day
Stoltman brothers? Big Loz? Worlds strongest fan?
You don't subscribe to my channel then?!
Guys I watched all of your channel this bloke must have been on the moon 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing💯💯
Nick, you are best strong men 💯
Good to hear that
Nick - thank you for a straight-forward and honest take, as always. No unnecessary hype, no muss, no fuss - just a hard-working man's opinion.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing！

Thanks Nick, you're the best. 💪
No pun intended lol
@@oof-by1lz yes 😂
Yes he is...... He might be the oldest of the wsm. He's still top of the best. In mine and others Opinion on this page best is the best of wsm!
Nick, you are truly a champion of the sport. Thanks for bringing this to light.
Congrats on 10 WSM competitions Nick! Thanks for an awesome recap and insight on WSM as a whole, keep on doing the best 👏🏻
Amazing!
Congratulations on the 10 WSM club. There are so many guys who only make the show for a couple years and then can't qualify anymore
would love to hear more stories of strongman like this. No BS and straight to the point :) Thanks Nick, always been a fan
Strongest!
Nick is the best.

Which video is his stem cell video?
Nick, it was great to see you in the competition.
You are world's strongest man of history
Guys like you represent athletes better than anyone else, well done
This is why everyone loves you man. Your a legand but a good man first
Thanks for all the insight! Always great to see you compete especially in WSM. Got to support the locals!
Great commentary, thank you!
Legend
Dude im a huge fan. I actually won one of your contest. Im upset I didn't even know you had a youtube channel
Thanks for sharing the inside information Nick. I never knew there was such cameradery amoughts the strongman. Another reason to love the sport so much. Hope too see you compete again next hear and make the heats. Cheers all the best mate.
Nick just watched the show on history channel man. Your a good man and a hell of a competitor much love from Canada cheers bud
Congratulations on your 10th WSM! I think Oberst's beard and bare feet caused the false positives.
Did they lower the bar height for the keg toss this year?
The Stone Cold of Strongman! ✊🏼
Great talk and content!👍💪
Dunno how I managed to miss this channel before. Subscribed now.

Didn’t even know Nick had a youtube channel! Subscribed right away, informative and honest video, thanks Nick
Thanks for the update Nick. It's evident when you talk about the sport how much it (and the other athletes) mean to you.
Your a class act Nick.
it was great to see each competitor cheering on others. Good performances help grow the sport.
You should have millions of subs right now! You are the best Nick best!
way to stick through the thick. 10 years deep is amazing boss. huge motivation for me

At least people in the U.S and UK get to watch on TV, I have to wait until someone rips it to TH-cam

Man imagine getting to wsm after this chaotic year and then getting sent home because of a potential false positive COVID test
It's a shame but its understandable that they can't risk it
From Brians account seems like they did a whole bunch of test's if they had a positive, so i'm guessing it was more than one test.
That would be the ultimate kick in the nuts
Hey Nick!!! Awesome freakin job for earning your 10th appearence at World Strongest Man!!!! This is legend stuff right there !!!
Love the channel nick

Nick Best is a class act..... love his attitude, mental acuity, and he is one stout mutha👍
Mr. Best, Great video. I enjoy watching you guys. You definitely inspire me!
Nick you are a great strongman and I love that you are a Fortniter! Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the inside info.
That's awesome Mr. Best!glad you had such a great time.Thanks for sharing.
Good video Mr Best :) Its to bad we don't see more videos about strongman and what goes on behind the scenes.
sure wished Shaw would have gotten his 5th but the men that got on the podium deserved it. great vid Nick
Same, I was gutted for Luke Stoltman too. He, Tom, and Brian made up my top 3. I'm not so sure with Brian anymore, but maybe both Stoltmans can make podium next year.
Same
but he got it?
@@turolretar His fifth wsm title, not fifth place. Lol
@Dean Florey Absolutely. I don't think anyone could deny that.
The sport of Strongman needs an operating board where all competitions fall under and that board puts forth the rules and regulations for the sport. Similar to the NBA, NCAA, MLB, etc. I think Brian Shaw mention the need for one on a video he made though that was awhile ago.
All of the examples you put bring in billions in revenue a year. Unfortunately strongman doesn’t . Yet.
Just noticed the Louis-Philippe Jean cutout in the background, wrestling the Fortissimus stone I guess? Big props! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I really enjoyed seeing you coaching the young guys coming into the finals, and thank you for going out with little to no real notice and compete for us as fans for a 10th time.

You're an inspiration, Nick! God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving!
Good man Nick, a true champion
Hey Nick! Good to see you're also on TH-cam! Big fan of you and the boys.
Hi Nick, good to see you joining that elite club of 10WSM appearances. What was you referring to with you and Terry?
Colin need to step up his game. He is 20 years behind the times. Really weak game for working with the strongest men in the world. Loz, his wife, and Julian did an amazing job thanks to supportive athletes.
