@@kibskibs498 Very true. Old man strength is a result of learning motor skills as you age and your brain becoming more efficient at using what it has best.
God bless them, but it is kind of funny to always hear the UK commentators go on and on about Terry Hollands and his potential and then he's constantly blowing it haha
Terry was able to tangle with the top 10 strongest men in the world for over a decade, that deserves a lot of respect even though he's never won it. Tbh if he ever got his head right and his life outside the competition wasn't frequently a mess leading up to the comp, he could've won a year. He just could never get his shit together sadly. I don't think we ever saw his best
Maybe because we suck at these events and we need to make fun of those who actually can do them? So sad to see this kind of comment here in YT. Terry was pro strongman in his era!!! maybe not so much anymore! Still strong and proud!!!
@@beardedbjorn5520 Shame Brian Shaw never learned this either after his attack on Z after he lost the 2016 Arnold classic. Lmao people talk about Thor like he's the only one🤦♂️
Well none pf the other events maybe other than truck pull require a lot of grip strength, and putting it at the end would just be unkind to the competitors because they’d be so worn out and fatigued by then
@@marknesham1949 Stop being so overdramatic. The only people who dislike him are Eddie and his fans. He did an interview with Big Loz who called him a good friend and only said good things. He's done collabs with Licis, Larry Wheels, the Stoltman brothers ect and won every competition in strongman since. Mateusz has said positive things about him in the past. That drama has now enabled him to make millions in a boxing match and improve his platform. He has a newborn son and has now retired, lost a huge amount of weight and become healthier and have more time for his family. Yeah he's really lost out mate 👌😂😂
@@AA-tq7dm I'm not a particular fan of Eddie, I just think Thors behaviour at 2017 and 2018 WSM was absolutely pathetic, and not becoming of someone at his level - I generally like Thors chill attitude and fellow Scandinavian heritage more, but that just sort of tarnished it a bit. Though at the end of the day the drama just seems ridiculous.
2011 Brian Shaw reminds me of that one cousin you have that wears an XXXL Affliction t shirt despite being a medium at best. Very intimidating presence.
hahaha only the brits could genuinely believe Terry Hollands could win this... just as funny as when the americans believed the US could win the World Cup hahaha
seeing these guys makes me think what their ancestors were like in wars before modern weapons. Could you imagine having to face one of these guys on the field with only a sword and shield?
I think Jenkins could've won this final had he not been injured. Won the first two events. A top 5 puller in this lineup, easily the second best log lifter here after Big Z and incredibly quick for stones. Who knows but think he was definitely in with a chance.
Pretty good? He still holds the drug-tested world records for raw squat and raw total (www.powerliftingwatch.com/records/raw/world). And he won the Arnold Strongman at 2002, with only a few months of preparation. He was top tier.
man the production quality back in 2011 was really crappy. they cant even keep the cameras on the athletes. cant wait for 2017 wsm. from what ive seen it should be great
Just occurred to me but these lads should totally give MMA a go! I mean with training and skill + the immense strength they posses they would be wicked!
Uhhh, yeahh Pudzianowski would be not challenhe for them? Just like in 2002 and 2003 when he dominated their asses so hard that he didnt even need to compete in the last event cause his advantage was like 14 points?
No Poland, Bulgaria, Russia, Japan, China etc. I saw many good strongman there. What do you think, would America let russia participate? The answer is NO! :)
Pure strength and a TON of training to get the proper lifting techniques down. Their has been a few in history slip up and hurt themselves pretty badly but for the most part they just know really good form and concentrate on their lifting.
Dude Savickas pressing that log is unbelievable. His presses are so clean. Brute strength.
might have put him behind on stones though still a good performance
Pound stone use to be good at log press
Big Z is a true legend!
@Dean Bennett really interesting take. Hadn't looked at things like that
Brian Shaw has an amazing personality besides being mega-man. There is humbleness in him. What a champion !
Thor sure has come a long way
Peter D. Some of this strength just comes with age. old man strength... genetics can’t carry you that far
He was 22 and looked so old, incredible...
@@CosmosZeroX he looked older than he looks now lol
CosmosZeroX ye steroids age you
@@kibskibs498 Very true. Old man strength is a result of learning motor skills as you age and your brain becoming more efficient at using what it has best.
Big Z is one badass fucking man
rest in peace jenkins, say what you will about him guys, but may his soul live on, he was a sight to be seen in the wsm scene.
😔
it is unreal how strong these guys are
You can see Zydrunas blinking to not pass out after that WR dead lift. That guy is a beast!
@@cofishfinder7269 it doesn't help but when you see someone do it, you know they gonna pass out
And he did it in the fucking rain. What a man.
Brian Shaw is such a great person as well as one of the best strongmen ever. Great ambassador for the sport.
Savickas is a fucking BEAST
God bless them, but it is kind of funny to always hear the UK commentators go on and on about Terry Hollands and his potential and then he's constantly blowing it haha
they talk the same talk about thor year after year and he is good just like terry, but doesn't have the edge.. at least yet
merces47letifer cause he fuckin sucks
Terry was a great strongman. He just wasn't good enough to beat Mariusz, Z, or Shaw. 3 of the greatest this sport has ever seen.
Terry was able to tangle with the top 10 strongest men in the world for over a decade, that deserves a lot of respect even though he's never won it.

Dude I can’t believe the WSM was soooo close to my hometown. If only I could’ve appreciated Strongman sports in middle school
You could of but you were to busy jerking it. Lmao !!
Sad seeing Mike Jenkins here.the guy would surely have won this comp within a couple of years. RIP.
Big Z and Brian Shaw, 2 of the best ever, and they were direct competitors for years! Amazing 👏
Strongest men with big hearts.. they're all such kind guys to one another true champions all of them.
"Terry Hollands disappointed after tearing his hands to shreds" 😂😂😂
I’d love to merely be “disappointed” if that happened to me.
I like how these guys are world class athletes and still so down to earth.
It’s crazy seeing Thor here vs 2018
he's like only 22 years old here though...
Sad that he didn't learn the most valuable lessons from his older competitors.
@@frankcastle1216 whats that? Genuine question
@@jeremybonilla2028 keeping yourself humble.
@@beardedbjorn5520 Shame Brian Shaw never learned this either after his attack on Z after he lost the 2016 Arnold classic. Lmao people talk about Thor like he's the only one🤦♂️
bill kazmeier came in at the end and won it.
I heard him yelling in the background when Big Z lifted the WR deadlift “c’mon champ!”
WSM be like yes let’s have all the competitors shred off all the skin on their palms on the 1st event, that’ll prove who’s the strongest 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Well none pf the other events maybe other than truck pull require a lot of grip strength, and putting it at the end would just be unkind to the competitors because they’d be so worn out and fatigued by then
What is your point
@@trulyadmirable7982 the deadlift requires a little grip
F U yea but they use straps so its minimal
I hate frame carry it usually tears away skin from hand
I'm sure Jenkins would smashed some titles..so sorry for the man..RIP
？what？he passed away？
@@zcl18 yes I’m 2013
Is it me or does Shahlaei look like Fester from the Adams family?
True - he generally just looks like an absolute goblin! But a powerful one xD
remember its not how you start its how you finnish
It's the motto of Jouko Ahola and Janne Virtanen
RIP Jenkins :'(
34:53 damn watch Z lift that log, his feet literally don’t move, such a monster.
Just imagine Eddie Hall walking in to that deadlift event, being the same shape he was in around 2016-2017 and speed lifting like 450
FreakyFox yep... as time goes on we keep getting better... If 2011 Eddie walked in there they would’ve laughed him out of there
@@wq198mnr And now Thor is about go go over 500... mad
@A.A.Ron Davis lool
This men are much cooler than this Mr Universe-guys!
I must say that when I hear these guys speak I am impressed by their intelligence, sportsmanship and humbleness.
Got to be there to see all this in person. Watching these beasts do what they did.....truly phenomenal!
2.25 lbs = 1 kg youre welcome
is this the 'mountain's first wsm….man he came a long way.
Yep and ruined his whole career in just one competition.
Not his career.
His reputation.
Thor sure has come a long way

Mr. Kazmaier really did a splendid job of commentary here.
Anyone here in 2021?
I miss the old school WSM 😫
Big Z is my favorite! He's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO strong
That would make a kick ass offensive line!
you would need jon kolb from the 1979 wsm, he played for the steelers!
I can feel the pressure here!
This was awesome, great job!
my back hurts already just because of watching
Rip Mike Jenkins
Shame he needed to quit the competition, he was so damn good at the events... RIP
DaanV9 no he died in 2013
And his body was barely cold before his widow married Shaw
Interesting to notice the improvement Hafthor and Bryan did till now.
2011 Brian Shaw reminds me of that one cousin you have that wears an XXXL Affliction t shirt despite being a medium at best. Very intimidating presence.
Shaw having advantage of his height in the last tournament
But is WSM champ 2011
Totally agree.
hahaha only the brits could genuinely believe Terry Hollands could win this... just as funny as when the americans believed the US could win the World Cup hahaha
Well he did become 3rd.
US normally wins the world cup though.
Kirk Meyers the fuck are you on
Terry -> retired
Nooo. Even Americans don’t think we’ll win the World Cup
2:03 guy speaks another language ha ha
seeing these guys makes me think what their ancestors were like in wars before modern weapons. Could you imagine having to face one of these guys on the field with only a sword and shield?
Terry's performance is good.
4:25 yeah merica! thought we ate burgers and fries but no. :)
Bill is awesome Great commentary
Terry Hollands always disappoints in WSM
Hold, my dude can beer this, do me
Zyvackus is stronger. Shaw is quicker
@RJ They all take crazy amounts of roids
@@SamJohnsonAZ no, steroids are allowed in open strongman competitions.
@@SamJohnsonAZ They absolutely take steroids. They test for recreational drugs at WSM, but not PED's.
I love watching uncle loz perform
honestly all there is to say about these guys is that they are awesome!
this show is just fcuking awesome.... muhahahahah
This guy should've played Bane not Tom Hardy
I think Jenkins could've won this final had he not been injured. Won the first two events. A top 5 puller in this lineup, easily the second best log lifter here after Big Z and incredibly quick for stones. Who knows but think he was definitely in with a chance.
Imagine if these guys played football
America is gettin' some... TONIGHT!
- Carl Brutananadilewski
hell yes
Bill kazmaier is Show's Father??? faces are very similar
The beginning of a legendary career
I just don't like the stones.. height is just such a big advantage, it bothers me
same goes for dead lift though huge advantage for the sqatter man
mario liugi mariuz wasnt that tall if I remember he used to crush stones
The atlas stones should always be the last event
WHy can't they wear some kind of hand wraps so they don't shred their hands? I"m confused on that
You can't re rap your hands in a speed course
Oh...so the wraps fell off?
+Heather Rios Yes. The best they can do is wrap it and then chalk it. After that...well..yeah
These guys aren't bodybuilders, they're powerlifters/strongmen. Lol.
Terry Hollands, the perennial favorite.
These dudes are mastadons. 6'9, 419 lbs holy shit!
Actually it's 463 lbs
Log press, from the ground all the way up, best test of strength there is... and who won it? yeah Big Z, the strongest there is
But everybody can get it up to their shoulders, so the first part doesn't really test anybody.
mario liugi umm no Mario beat him countless times as well as Brian
Mario only beat Savickas in rep events, not max events
@@TheFirstAmendment Countless lmao. I'm pretty sure we could easily count and Z has also beat Shaw and Mariusz a bunch of times too.
watching the deadlifts makes my back hurt. actually all my joints start to hurt furiously just by watching this xD
Obviously your opinion of strength differs from actual strength.
Poundstone and Shaw. Deadlift didn't lock out.
ZYDRUNAS ZAVICKAS STRONGEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED
agreed
I wonder what mariusz pudzianowski's heart rate would have looked like. The man never got tired.
Giving the glory to God....well done Brian!
39:42 denied
NOT TRYING TO PUT DOWN TERRY BUT HE ALWAYS QUITS A FEW FEET BEFORE THE WIN. HHAHAHABA
MEXICO!
lol mexico sucks u guys eat dorritos and shit your pants
He's mentally weak. Always turned up unnecessarily fat.He smokes as well.never gonna win with that lack of discipline
2012 Worlds Strongest Man Finals on StrengthcrewTV's TH-cam Channel!
imagine these guys fighting each other
You’re not gonna have to wait too much longer for that
Ok where is Mark Henry?
***** He totally could be on the run like 10 years ago.
Pretty good? He still holds the drug-tested world records for raw squat and raw total (www.powerliftingwatch.com/records/raw/world). And he won the Arnold Strongman at 2002, with only a few months of preparation. He was top tier.
RCADDICTS He has never won this title
man the production quality back in 2011 was really crappy. they cant even keep the cameras on the athletes. cant wait for 2017 wsm. from what ive seen it should be great
Just occurred to me but these lads should totally give MMA a go! I mean with training and skill + the immense strength they posses they would be wicked!
Most of these guys are monsters but there actualy verry nice guys just like alot of big pro bobybuilders or big pro wrestlers.
20 year olds looking like theyre 40
Most of these guys are in their 30's, some in their 40's.
no pudziankowski no challeng
Pudziankowski would be no challenge for Savickas or Shaw.
Kaarel Vomm dude Pudzianowski beat Big Z like 2 or 3 times and Z only once and he beat Shaw in team competition one time
Paul Blackman
Ur a rookie do ur homework on BIG Z BEFORE U OPEN UR MOUTH!!!!!
Uhhh, yeahh
Pudzianowski would be not challenhe for them? Just like in 2002 and 2003 when he dominated their asses so hard that he didnt even need to compete in the last event cause his advantage was like 14 points?
Barlog Shaw was still playing basketball back then....
Mad respect ✊ for Brian Shaw the “Gigantor”
It's absolutely nuts Thor was able to compete with these guys when he was like twenty one years old
No Poland, Bulgaria, Russia, Japan, China etc. I saw many good strongman there. What do you think, would America let russia participate? The answer is NO! :)
chuck norris is better
Chuck Norris could slam dunk those stone´s while firing a Machinegun, because he is Chuck Norris, credit to those guy´s though, they are superstrong..
AMAZING 💪💪💪💪💪💪💯💥💯 💯💯
Those guys' arms are as big around as her head is
I know right! I got here from a 'Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover' video xDD
Pure strength and a TON of training to get the proper lifting techniques down. Their has been a few in history slip up and hurt themselves pretty badly but for the most part they just know really good form and concentrate on their lifting.
He was a Powerlifter at one point. Very strong guy, comparable to some of these men for sure.
love how thors male pattern baldness got better with age :D
These guys would be unstoppable if they played rugby or American Football
they do stuff like pulling trucks and lifting tyres, it just goes to show how much power there are in machines
different sport man, i enjoy both
I strained my back just by watching that 440 deadlift..
Yeah you do
for sure!
Brian u simply all around rock .
Number1,nmbr2,nmbr3,nmbr4,nmbr5, And a Prehistorian Human.
The winner is The Prehistorian Human!
