Once again two great men - Thor and Eddie - undoubtedly showed their class. But which performance impressed you more here - Hafthor or Eddie? Thor is so tall that to press a 213kg log is really extraordinary, but was Eddie's jumps an error? Could the Beast have added the Log to Deadlift and Axle?

It's the same thing that Big Z and Bill Kazmaier did back in their day. Either you are a great shoulder presser or you aren't. Those guys didn't compromise. It was 95%+ shoulders as the lift is intended to be.
very true… Thats what he said privately after… the moment and bravado got in the way of his game plan and he never normally did that. He was kicking himself for that.
@Dean Florey Then we got Novikov winning WSM a year after going pro at age 24. Brian is amazing, but I think he’s 2nd all-time compared to Z’s 4 WSM titles, 2 IFSA titles, and 8 Arnolds. Zydrunas also wasn’t allowed to compete in WSM during his affiliation with IFSA. I love the pure brute strength needed to win the ASC, and Zydrunas has won exactly half of the titles they’ve given out
I believe in his Prime, Big Z had no one to push him even more for the log record. If there was, he'd have done more. Now we have Hicks, Biby, and Luke who can maybe break the record soon 🔥
And we got Big Z training hard again. Excited to see what him and the guys can get on the max log at the Shaw Classic in 2 weeks. He looks like he’s good for at least 200kg right now. If Z keeps it up he may be able to increase his own record within the next couple years, fingers crossed
Big Z ws all shoulders, no leg drive. If he had good technique it would have been 230-235 easily. Anyone that can do a proper split jerk with a log will get 240+.
Eddie absolutely would have made it. He had the power to lock it out (arguably more raw shoulder power than Z even in Z’s prime) it’s just that with the ankle he couldn’t stabilize it. And at the time they couldn’t reattempt the record a few weeks later like they have been doing with records set at home. Big Z I feel is the better log presser as his technique is much more efficient. But Eddie Hall certainly has stronger overhead power. Shows it nearly every time he lifts a log or axle, and that Kazmaier like no leg drive pure raw power press is just wow! I have no doubt whatsoever that if Eddie had another shot a few weeks later when his ankle was in better shape that record would have been his. (And if anyone doubts that just go look at Eddies world record axle press...he strict pressed it and made it look easy! He had at least another 10kg in him that day. I don’t think anyone had stronger shoulders than a prime Eddie Hall)
@@tordro1177 Nope. If he could, he would. In his book he said he has an injury that doesn't allow him to effectively use leg drive, but for lighter rep-based events he used it a little (WSM 2017 viking press you can see a little bit of it)
I’d say Zydrunas will be in the ball park of 200-210kg at the Shaw Classic. He hit a 195kg log 5 weeks ago to win Static Monsters. If he keeps up the training he’s been doing then next year could be a big year for him
In my opinion the log press world record, not the deadlift, is the real "white whale". SO MANY PEOPLE have failed at 230KG. Zydrunas's record has stood for quite a long while, and before that it was almost a one man party with him upping his own record anyway. Whoever finally breaks the 230KG barrier is gonna be badass :)
The fact that Eddie hall couldn’t even get it when he was the single strongest man statically on the planet shows just how incredibly strong big Z was in his prime
Man, Eddie had 230kg for sure. That damned ankle is what got him. He almost got it on the second rep too! He just must've messed up the first one. Such a shame.

@@goldilox811 Good thing you pointed that out because there is a HUGE difference. No way Z would have ever come close on a wooden log. Especially since Z broke his own record for 12 years consecutively & still holds the all time record.
@@goldilox811 You realise Z pressed 205kg for 4 reps on a wooden log at the Arnold? Possibly could've gone even further. Not too crazy to think he could match 228kg on the same day he did that.
Before i dint know Eddie and i watched wsm cause of Thor i use to think who is that Eddie why Commentators keeps talking about him and then i started following him closely and now he and Shaw are my fav wsm 😇😇😇
My best log press is currently 145kg, going to get 150kg soon which I thought was good going but this is on another level and very few will ever reach this.
"He had some shoulder problems last couple of years" I believe the "shoulder problems" were the completely destroyed upper pec after Z try on the 700kg bale tote yoke at the ASC, can anyone confirm?
230 was there for Eddie that night. I genuinely believe the problem with him at this stage was more just getting the oxygen to his brain.. to complete a more drawn out rep.. the reality is if a heavy single lasted more than 5/6 seconds a 200kg Eddie would pass out
Peek Eddie was statically the strongest guy in history in my opinion. Wsm 2017 he wins squat, deadlift and Viking press against an absolutely stacked lineup. Beast!
Eddie had the right tactics. He was gonna do 220 KG to warm up to the WR at 230. But Bibby screwed it up for both of them by jumping to it and insisting on trying without the bridge. Eddie is very smart, but sometimes you just get screwed.
@Liam Gade I agree that it is sad that guys like Eddi and Thor retired and now boxing but it's not fair to any athlete to say that somebody COULD have been better. Nothing is surtain until it is done.

Maybe he could have break his records a couple of more times, or even get the log wr or another big international title. But I don't know, he was probably one of the statically strongest ever, but he always seemed so gassed after some events. Basically anything that wasn't an event for reps brought him to his knees, like the 2015 log press or two man deadlift record. He accomplished great things on the sport and stayed a good 3 years at peak strength on it, I don't think he retired too early, he gave almost every thing he got I would say, probably 99% of his maximum strength.
he would be dead from the roid abuse he had to make from 2016 to 2017 to each his peak. He looked like a dead man walking for a year and a half straight

Mind you, eddie and iron biby are STRICT pressing that practically. They are hardly using their legs and that is freakish how strong they are.
That’s how they feel most comfortable doing it. You think they wouldn’t use their legs if they felt stronger doing it?

Eddie dropping that log looked like a pissed off baby ditching a toy in protest after being told it's bed time!
💀
He does😂
I'd imagine he was mad at himself
I thought the same. He looked a small child
Eddie in his prime was something else
One of the best to ever do it
Eddie should have stuck to his plan and gone 220g, to big a jump from 213kg to 230kg
very true… Thats what he said privately after… the moment and bravado got in the way of his game plan and he never normally did that. He was kicking himself for that.
Big Z, The Best of all time.
He really is the greatest!

@Dean Florey It's really hard to decide which one of them is better. They both are superhumans. Absolute legends.
Now you can see how strong Big Z is 👍
I like how Eddie drops the 213kg log, like "Aight, done it, I'm out"

1:16 you can hear levan saginashvili yelling
i had always wondered why does eddie never use much of a legs drive when doing overhead events.... maybe it would have helped him push the 230 Kg
Pride, i think
I think mobility/stability. If he had that mastered then who knows what he could’ve done.
He said somewhere his knees were basically unusable
Eddie said legs were for squatting and walking, not pressing
@@tordro1177 Nope. If he could, he would. In his book he said he has an injury that doesn't allow him to effectively use leg drive, but for lighter rep-based events he used it a little (WSM 2017 viking press you can see a little bit of it)
