The yoke should have been lighter as well. It used to be under 800 lb in WSM in the 90s and this is over 900 lb. Glenn Ross likes to make it heavy, too heavy IMO.
Starting naturally your at a disadvantage but peds do speed things up. Deontay wilder only started boxing at 28 and managed to become heavyweight champ with nothing but a strong power hand
I cant undestand why they use that form for the louis lift. Mixed grip, lay on belt while trapecius are sure burning. Why not a correct olimpic lift in 2 fases?
OK then. Put a thinner bar and grip will be better, you will avoid bicep injuries with CORRECT grip and so. I mean, you lift, sit and then squat. You end in a controlled and "relaxed" phase. That "belt hold" with lightning speed hand change looks stupid, and really bad for your back. Well, not yours or mine, so I dont really care
typically no.. steroids are used more for muscle bulking. basically for vanity. Most of what the real high level strongmen do, you really wouldnt ever be able to do if you were on steroids. the 1 exception was Mariusz Pudzianowski. and his performance enhancing drugs actually disqualified one of his WSM chapionships. He should have 6 titles not 5. unlike bodybuilding, these guys are tested for growth supplementation. that even includes testosterone boosters. I know that was a long response, but its easy for people to see those guys and think steroids. Not all are clean, but most are.
+GaviRG1 Both in powerlifting and strongman you are considered a junior until you are past the age of 23, I think it might have something to do with the rules from olympic lifting (but I have no clue), but being 23 you're still young for any type of sport.
I think Tom Stoltman might follow Terry Hollands in the future.
This comment aged well
2x
god they all look 30 already.
boxxer221 all the steroids mate
how old was Matthew McCoy back then? It's strange, he looks really much older, like 35 or 40.
Holy shit! Some of those weight was literally used in WSM in early 2000's, even late 2000's
9:26 he stoped over the bar.😆
Tom Stoltman, wsm now
Deadlifts should have been ligther and from the ground. Great competition.

23:40 : Do not let the glycogen build up in the muscles? Wtf mr commentator?
Bob Troti probably meant lactic acid
How do you qualify for this event?
Guy Kitchener fuckin lift
" The real McCoy" great character mathew great for irish strongman
0:36 185 inches calves= Xdd
Wonder why they did a heavier partial deadlift and not a lighter, conventional deadlift
Poor Ben Thompson with his 6.5-inch calf!
I think he donated them to Matthew McCoy who has 185 inch calves apparently.
@@antonyjennings4644 Sick
185 in calves doubt it lol
It's a Louis Uni (Apollon) axle, not Louis Cyr. Also it's Husafell stone. Anyway, they are really strong for being so young.
It's neither if you listen to Glenn - Lewis Seal, whoever that is.
Oh and what age is the age restriction for junior WSM?
23 years is the max age.
I call bullshit on the 19 inch forearms on Ryan Boreland's stats.
Alex Wolstencroft Probably a typo. Most of the guys are around 20" biceps and 16" forearms. They probably accidentally hit the '9' instead of '6'
Alex Wolstencroft yeah a lit of the measurements seem off to me. some of them only 46 inch chest at 20 stone, rubbish.
I wonder how old the guys were when they started training. My biggest regret is starting at a late age (19..) Tried to make up for it though ahha.
I know how you feel I wish I started at 10 but I started at 15
Starting naturally your at a disadvantage but peds do speed things up. Deontay wilder only started boxing at 28 and managed to become heavyweight champ with nothing but a strong power hand
I started at 14
Brilliant Juniors
ППц, я не могу смотреть как эти ребята делают толчок....

@Oskar Triffitt he's trolling obviously
7.38 John macalesse?
And not a steroid in sight. Hahaha. ;-)

+112358miau Very hard with a thick bar like that. Plus the plates cannot ''roll'' like a normal bar.

That "belt hold" with lightning speed hand change looks stupid, and really bad for your back.
Well, not yours or mine, so I dont really care
+112358miau you've obviously never used an axle...
Never. I dont know what it is. English is not my main language and in google I only find pieces from cars if I search axle
@@112358miau its supposed to be challenging hahah if you make it easier whats the point
do strongmen take steroids or not?
Derp...
SickofHippies serious question

James Hirata can you tell me how they get so strong? is there a techinique or just heavy ass lifting
BIG Bopper
