Savickas #1. He did that 228 in terrible conditions. He was suppose to do it with Arnold as a witness and Arnold was late for more than 45 mins. There is interview where Savickas says he warmed once, twice, third time .... still no Arnold. And when austrian finally arrived Žydrūnas just went for the weight.
And it took 6+ years for Iron Bibby to add +1 and later +2 kg to that record.
Facts 🔥🔥🔥💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Yes, that interview is gold. He was not even focused In world records in his prime
Yeh never seen anything quite like that, it was easy too insane shoulder power
controversial take: strongman rules - get that log above your head, get it locked out. strict press, push press, split jerk... none of that matters. as long as you can show complete control fully locked out, good lift.
Agreed. It's all valid as long as you are following the rules of the event at that time.
Honestly least controversial. Theres a reason most PL federations don't have the strict press anymore. Nightmare to judge
Not a controversial take just explained the rules 😂
@@spokeen6249 man that's the joke lol. basically a snarky remark for the loud few complaining about split jerks
I’m old enough to remember when excessive knee bend would disqualify a strong man shoulder press.
I don’t think I’ve seen Mitch do a single shoulder press that would have been allowed in competition in the 90’s
Mitch, I have to say, I love how objectivly you can talk about the difference between "strongest shoulders" and "best log lifter/best axle presser" even though you hold the world record in the axle. You don't get carried away, you know your strengths just as well as your weeknesses and can talk objectivly about this matter without getting emotional. Hats off to you, keep that attitude!
Also, I think splitjerk counts, this is Strongman. In Germany we say "oben ist oben" (if it's up it's up)
Just as a good ambassador as Brian. So keep it up Mitch
Getting shinned by a log is crazy
Ironically, right after he talked about "safely giving an attempt". lol
Tore my ACL last year doing a log press. 3 weeks ago I knocked myself out on a log press. Still my favorite lift 😂
Your axle record is valid because the parameters are to get the weight over your head. You did just that.
mitch youv fast become my favourite strength channel. so down to earth, so informative. respect for keeping so grounded
I still think Big Z is the strongest in overhead ever. He never took time to specifically train for axle or log only. It was just part of his regular work with other events. Where Biby and Eddie both would specifically only train for months for those single lifts.
Yeah but eddie stricted pressed them
Id love to see Lasha do just one strongman competition after he retires from weightlifting for fun. The potential there is insane. He'll no doubt wanna stop lifting so much and get healthier once he does retire, as most competitive strength athletes do, but one can dream.
Anyway, Id like to see some variety in world records like strict press vs using leg drive, etc. but I can see why itd open up a small can of worms. Still, watching anyone strict press 200+ kilos is probably one of if not my favorite feats of strength.
Im a bodybuilder with no strength at all but I find myself coming to your videos because of the knowledge and format you bring to the fitness content.
As an intermediate / advanced overhead presser the last part of the video where you go over the accessories in detail has some tremendously useful insights.
Eddie. Dude strict pressed that with basically no leg drive. Insane.
Big Z Did The Same Tired
@@DavidVirtanenThey are both the goats of shoulder pressing
Yes it is, but this is the point, how you do it? It doesn't matter, the point is to do it point A to point B. You don't get more points because leg drive was absent for an example.
@@DavidVirtanen he didn't do it strict
@@ciavagliastrongman The premise of this video is Strongest Shoulders in History. Thus, Eddie. Moving point A to B is irrelevant to this discussion which is why Mitchell excluded himself from strongest shoulders in this very video even though he has the axle record. (Because he didn’t strict press it, he cleaned it.)
Love the educational tips in these types of videos. Always clear and straight to the point 👌
The thing with big Z is that he did all his lifts in a comp, hardly ever as a first event. And he only ever did as much as he needed to to win. I'm pretty sure he could rival Eddie.
Most definitely. Probably beats Eddie on log
@@wanderer_otiProbably? He definitely did. He could've definitely done more than 228kg log if he'd chased the record the way Eddie and Biby did.
@@wanderer_oti he does because Eddie didn't have the record. Z did for the whole of Eddie's career and some
@@Adam-bw6djPrime Big Z Would Have Lifted 300Kg
@@DavidVirtanennah that's too much
I really like this form of video. You're killin' it in the TH-cam game
Another one of those videos where Mitch reminds us all that big don't mean dumb, loving the content man keep it up!
Great idea with the incline log press, I'm gonna try that. Really informative video Mitchell, Good luck with your next competition. Cheers bro
Loved your post on Loz&Liz vid “ Who Can Stop Mitch Hooper”😂😂👑🦀
Great video thank you. You axle world record was incredible to watch. I like the technical and strategic aspect of strongman, not only the raw power.
I really appreciate this video helped me get stronger log by doing incline and tricep extensions
Learnt something about the lateral raises at the end Mitch, thanks!
I got a like from Mitchell once and it permanently added 20 pounds to my max deadlift
I love this guys videos, started implementing his training recommendations and seeing great results. As for what should be allowed i say all 3 styles as long as you lock it properly.
love the formatting of this video, hope to see more like it
Mitch your #5 Axle press is way off lol
Top 12 goes
1. You 218 Kg
2. Biby 217 Kg
3.Eddie 216 Kg
4. Big Z 215 Kg
5. Tom Stoltman 210 Kg (How did you forget this you guys tied at wsm 😆)
6. Thor 206 kg
7-8. Brian and Big Loz! 205 kg
9-12. Lucas Hatton, Pavlo, Belsak and Rob Kearney 200 Kg
0:57 what about viper press? That’s probably the most impressive way
Radzakowski has done 217.5, Kieliszkowski has done 214, Bobby has done 217, Your Top 5 has a lot of guys missing.
I was thinking the same thing.
only radzikowski's lift off 217.5 would be on the list since he would be the new Nmr.5. Im glad that people only get one entry, if not it would only be biby and Z.
@@leonordin9196 I am telling that his no. 5 isn't even top 10 log lift in history :)
Go smash it, moose you got this bro
Love the information Mitch. And I appreciate how you break things down and relate it to competition. I myself only have a bachelors in exercise science/ kinesiology. But I really do love how simple you make it. Or I should say explain it. Keep up the amazing work. Any news on the tattoo potential.
Eddie had very strong shoulders and strict pressed almost everything.
Great rep PR, solid stuff!
Repeating lkxs. Making the comparison between static shoulder, split and push press is helpful to quiet the haters maybe. Also, combining helpful facts and tips with your workouts is a nice structure for your vids! Keep em coming!
Have fun at the DL party!
I think Its up to the people running/reffing the competition to allow for split/push press. the split is obviously going to get the heaviest but alot of athletes dont train it. To see more strongmen implement the jerk would look awesome tho and then we'll see massive jumps in the WR. Strict press is more impressive but it tends to have the same people winning it every time, not like that alr happens for other events, but the log press could be more competitive.
Within reason I think allowing anything as long as you get to lockout and are stable would be the best for viewers
Great instruction, well communicated. One of your best 👍. Thanks.
I think you missed Krzysztof Radzikowski on the best log pressers list. He really was the only to push Big Z during his era.
I'm surprised you put Pavlo above Tom for the axle press. I'd argue Tom is the better axle presser of the two with the 210kg axle at Worlds this year, along with his Apollon Wheels pressing.
Finally, a new one from you!
I like your wholesomeness I just subscribed
Your the man Mitch! Loving all of the content!
Krzysztof Radzikowski should be Nr.5, he did a 217.5kg Log lift.
I really enjoyed this video Mitchell, thanks
Big Moose ! Good onya bro. Love your work .
Awesome workout and great explanations of the excercises
Krzysztof Radzikowski pressed 217,5kg on comp
Polska 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱❤️❤️❤️
I think Bobby also did something like that. It feels like Mitch forgot/missed some guys in those rankings.
Radzikowski has done a 217kg log, and Loz has done a 205kg axle
You forgot Radzikovski - 217.5kg log back in 2016
Production value on this was good 👍🏾
Wrong on the top 5 axle presses, top 4 with mitch biby eddie big z is correct, but pavlo on 200 is not number 5, after big z 215 is tom stoltman 210, mikhail koklayev 208, hafthor 206, big loz 205 brian shaw 205
was just gonna comment this that tom did 210kg at wsm this year aswell
Came here to say this, I also believe Belsak is above it
@@hunterroseborough9744 belsak did 200kg then failed 216 in 2017 when eddie did 216 wr
Mark Henry has to be in the conversation. He did the apollon wheel with a slight push press 3 times that looked like the bar was empty. He could have done that 7-8 times easily if he had more time and he cleaned it up to his neck without resting it on his stomach or his belt like most other strongmen do. Plus he was doing a lot of traveling for WWE and probably wasn’t even training specifically for strongman.
@@keithdefreitas3399That weight has been done my like 10 different guys for more reps than Mark, The Power clean was the most impressive part of Mark's lift not the pressing.
One of the most impressive appolon press in history is Savickas at 2010 Arnolds. 208kg for two easy reps strickt press.
I had the pleasure of training with Bobby when he was in college. He trained at my dad's gym in Moncton NB. Biggest and strongest guy intnhe gym by far but he was also the nicest
In any OHP type movement approaching ones own bodyweight, how do you prevent your spine from simply buckling under the load? Every time I try this with heavy load it feels like I'm going to snap like a stick. When your hands are overhead it seems to require a different kind if bracing than the usual deadlift & squat kind of bracing
There he is! The man! The Mitch! The legend!
Hey Mitch, anyway of posting some good warm-ups and stretching for squats?
I’ve been getting some pain on the left hip, and I’m pretty sure it’s not from stretching properly …
Anyway, love your content !
Wood logs also have less rotational inertia because there mass is distributed throughout the diameter and metal logs have all their mass all the way out to the edge. Makes i harder to roll as you clean them.
Best intro😮 looking forward to this😂
Don't sell yourself short. I've seen you put up some big lifts on competition day over the past year. You go to another level on comp day. I look forward to that log battle. What stance your aloud to use should be dictated in the rules of the show. If there are no rules about it only being a strict press, then athletes should use what they feel gives them the best chance to make the lift.
If people want a strict shoulder-power event, then promoters need figure out some way to make a seated shoulder press machine look interesting. Good Luck, Brian!
Love your ethos dude.
Outflow the slit jerk in the log either strict press or push press. This is the way.
I still wanna see the A to B parameters apply across the board. Yeah you can sumo deadlift but you gotta then shuffle your feet together at the end.
hahaha that would be a sight
Always Enjoy your content
Eddie's 216 kg strict looks so freaking effortless. Damn, dude. 😵 That said, I think all three forms should be allowed. Love your channel, Mitch.
Eddie is number 3. He was never pushed to the max
Point A to B, I agree
I’m all for the just move it A to B. Let competitors do what they chose
A few hours too late! Damn. I went in for my first log day of a comp prep and watched a bunch of log videos to get hyped up. Oh well, next week will be that much better! #LHBK
Sup Moose. Love the workout videos, especially before training. I’m no biomechanics expert but have you looked at “Lu Raises” as an alternative to lateral raises?
Zydrunas is a legend. Think he, Eddie, and Biby can all be made serious arguments for. But Biby is the one that has more the tank to prove himself to be the GOAT, so I'd put him up for first.
They should either be counted as different lifts or leg drive should be restricted. I don't think the split-jerk should be in the same category as not using leg drive
Eddie has the best technique, and unparallel shoulder strenght.
Fair breakdown!!
I would out rule split jerk for strongman.
Push and Stric press are both a good symbol of strenght, where split jerking is a good symbol for strenght with a lot of technique.
So both push an strict represent strongman the best.
these three variations are easy enough to split up, but fans can always do that themselves if they care about that. I think it makes sense to allow any of the techniques at competitions
I don't have an issue with the split jerk, but I could see them outlawing it eventually.
As long as it is not called the "strict press axle lift" or the "no jerk allowed axle lift", you legitimately hold the log lift world record.
I think it could be interesting to have a competition of strict press overhead, both axle and log once a year to find the strongest shoulders. With that goal in mind, it might as well be without the clean. You pick the weight off a stand/rack at shoulder height and press it to lockout, get the "down/good lift" signal and either put it back in the rack or to the floor.
I do not think, it should be specified in the existing Strongman competitions, whether or not you can push press or jerk. The heaviest clean and over head lockout wins.
There are far too many deadlift variations to keep track of, no need to complicate the axle and log too.
Train hard, stay safe!
Zydrunas is just unhuman. I wish I could have seen him compete in his prime. But I love Iron Biby! He is my present fave.
Zydrunas had weird strength. Damn near robotic.
@@Thulgore Agreed. It's magical to watch his old videos
Love push press. It feels the most functional. They should all be allowed, but their own records would be cool
Let’s not forget when Eddie was going for the WR log press he was less than 1cm from lockout but he had a broken ankle.
I can strict-press just 80kg, yet still torn my rotator cuff tendon doing so earlier this year. I had surgery to repair it only last week and am currently in the slow/painful recovery stage. 😢 It now boggles my mind how strong men don't get injured more often
There is also a viper press with Mateusz excelling in it
The reason I prefer watching strongman over other strength sports is that for the most part a competitor can use any means necessary to move weight from A to B. The weight is what matters, technique is just an interesting side note.
I personally don't care how the athlete (or a lifting partner at the gym) chooses to press. If the weight starts in the same position and ends in the same position, I'm pretty well cool with it. If you did more than me using a more efficient technique? Good on you! I should probably either learn that technique, or come up with an even more efficient one. Either way, until I can do more, I think I have to take my hat off to you; congratulate you; and admit you're the winner.
That being said, I also recognize that they are different lifts. I think of it similar to conventional deadlifting vs sumo. And unlike a lot of people in our community, I don't label sumo as "cheating." Nor do I make fun of people who do it. I simply recognize them as different lifts. I'm a conventional lifter, but I'm not going to heckle the kid at the gym next to me for doing sumo. And as far as the suggestions go that it's "cheating" are concerned, I'll just say this: "I'm a conventional guy, but I tried sumo on a few occasions, and I couldn't come anywhere close to the same amount I could with conventional." And since I lift less doing sumo than I do conventional, it makes it difficult for me to argue that it's "cheating."
Not cheating... just different. And if I worked on that lift more, surely I would get better at it. Just like if you concentrate on strict pressing, you'll get better at strict pressing. If you practice push pressing, you'll get better at push pressing. And yes, spoiler alert, if you practice split jerking, you're going to get better at split jerking.
So where do I really land on this?
Well, again to my mind, they are different lifts. But not enough for ME to PERSONALLY complain if someone bests me using a different technique. I just congratulate them and move on. Similarly, I believe you have to defer to the rules of the competition. In a PERFECT world, I guess I would like to see competitions that split these things up... sumo only competitions... conventional only competitions... strict press only... push press only... split jerk only... etc. But if the rules of the contest say that it's open and you can use any of the available techniques and register a passing lift, then accept it; deal with it; and train accordingly. i.e. Instead of complaining that you're competitor beat you with a split jerk, TRAIN UP YOUR SPLIT JERK!
sumo should only count if people wiggle their feet into a conventional stance afterwards, so it actually ends on the same position, as you said
1:20 don't forget about the viper press
It would be interesting to see who can max the most in the Z press that Zydrunas invented, where you sit on the floor with legs in front of you so it's all upper body, it's a great accessory pressing exercise to build extra shoulder power
Agree peak Eddie Hall was freakishly strong , 216kg on the axle press looked way to easy 😮
due to the amount of competitions, I would say maybe one of them does a "strict press" event vs overhead in writing with no leg drive or anything, I do feel like the grind of just pressing is exciting to watch, but i'd say strongman need more technique in general anyways, it is exciting too and frankly.... it might be healthier.
Would love to see Hooper and Hall workout session !!
Yes. All styles must have different records
Eddie was pressing 200lb dumbbells overhead for reps while casually chatting in the gym .... Insane pure strength.
Haven't watched yet but my best for the top 5 would definitely include Iron Bibby, Eddie Hall and Zydrunas Savickas.
On an episode of The Strongest Men In History, Eddie momentarily held 500lbs overhead with 1 arm fully extended on a bar!! His static strength was absolutely absurd!
Best overhead lifts of Zydrunas at the Log - 228*1, 227*1, 205*4, 205*4, 200*4.
at the Axle - 215*1, 208*2 (in 20 seconds), 188*5, 208*4 (Only Cleans).
He's The Greatest Overheads lifter.
Try a Swiss bar for triceps accessory.
I think maybe log should be strict/push press and axle should include the jerk, as axle is more of a technical lift.
It also makes them completely different events, not ‘just’ overhead with different implements
I think the split jerk/push press/strict press all have their own events where they fit in. Anything free standing should just be point A to B, maybe some "don't rest it on your head" rule aswell.
Anything on a pivot or with a safety needs additional rules to avoid looking ridiculous. A really unstable safety press removes the need for to much judging and I would prefer a viking press to have the handles so high that you cant dip down and push press. Forcing technique through the nature of the implement rather than rules.
strenght is a skill, so if we are looking for the strongest axle press, i think is fair we dont discriminate a specific kind of technique based on it requiring a higher skill than others. I think that is whats strongman is be about, lifting the heaviest weights in any way you can
I think that strickt an split should be 2 diffrent lifts from a record stand point as for comp i think thats up to them on what rukes they want to use but it should be clear
Agreed eddies static strength was outta this wolrd
I know you're reviewing log and axle, but there are some weightlifters that have done some amazing push presses, like Dmitry Klokov's 225 kg push press while weighting around 100kg there is a video about it with some legit AF background song!
th-cam.com/video/oNbvdLoj_tA/w-d-xo.html
Point A to point B no other parameters can you do it or can you not? Thats my answer
