Created in 1977, The World's Strongest Man™ has become the premier event in strength athletics. For over 30 years, the strongest men on the planet have come together in a series of unique and amazing tests of strength to determine The World's Strongest Man. The competition has travelled to stunning and varied locations such as Zambia, Iceland, Mauritius, Malaysia, Morocco, China and the USA.
For over three decades The World's Strongest Man has tested the limits of human strength, power, and endurance. The best strongmen on the planet and the most demanding challenges including Fingal's Fingers, Truck Pull, Dead Lift, Giant Farmers Walk, Plane Pull and the Atlas Stones have made the event a highlight in the TV calendar and the show a family favourite with a worldwide audience of over 220 million people.

Well sure he won; anyone who has been bombarded with gamma radiation has an advantage.
And people say steroids is cheating.
I thought I'd see this comment, and it didnt disapoint😂👍

RaozSkillz I didn’t even read what you typed but you’ve convinced me
RaozSkillz dude how old are you???
damn elite bodybuilders back in the day, they were aesthetic AND strong.
Blakk Lining those weren’t bodybuilders. Those were strong men. 2 totally different competitions
@@DopeBoysofAtlanta you're an absolute idiot I can see two very famous bodybuilders in this video.
John Ward why is your response so hostile . Your surely wouldn’t have that response if this happened in person calling somebody an idiot . Maybe they made an honest mistake ? Dam relax
@@priley817 He was disrespecting two classic professional bodybuilders that didn't train as powerlifters or strongmen, they trained for mass and shape. This was extremely rude of him to say and undermined how strong Lou Ferrigno actually was when he didn't even take something like this seriously.
@@DopeBoysofAtlanta ....There were 3 well known bodybuilders from that era in the contest....
1) Mike Dayton
2) Franco Columbu
3) Lou Ferrigno

😂😂
Lou speaks to the bar
Don’t make me angry......you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.
Talk about unintentional hilarity. The blonde guy was the funniest.
Jake Whitney haha how the hell did he not poop....
Jake Whitney That's pro wrestler and Olympic weightlifting record holder Ken Patera.
*_DON'T FORGET MCDONALD'S SPOKESMAN_*@@Tsuruta1
@@wauliepalnuts6134 Maybe he should have thrown a boulder through the bar like he did that window.
He looks like Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds. Resemblance is uncanny.
Just wanna say RIP Franco Columbu, you've always been an inspiration to me growing up and still are. I hope that your still pumping Iron in the after life man.
A classic for sure. Back in the old school days when bodybuilders were also powerlifters and strongman. Arnold, Columbo, Ferrigno
Well he sure af ain't reading your comment 👎
I read his book, "Coming on Strong," when I was 12 or 13. He really inspired me. RIP.
Damn 2 years ago
There is no exercise in heaven.
Lou Ferrigno looks like a monster. He killed it
DEFINITELY AWESOME MUSCLES ALL OVER LOUFERRIGNO'S PHYSICALY PHISQUE JUST BULGING ALL OVER HIS HOT 🔥 🥵 PHYSICALY PHISQUE JUST LIKE HERCULES 👍 👌 💪 😋 😀 😄 👍 👌 💪 😋 😀 😄!ABSOLUTELY MASCULINE 💯%! 😄 😉 😆 😜 👏 ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨!
After all he’s the Incredible Hulk
ABSOLUTELY HE WERE PERFECT TO PLAY THE INCREDIBLE HULK!!! 70S LEGEND LOU FERRIGNO
@@stephenclenton3122 No CGI needed to make this man into the Hulk.
@@christopherjohnson2171 nah man that's bullshit, Hulk is like 9 feet tall and strong enough to punch an asteroid back into space... CGI was necessary to bring the real Hulk in movies
ha !..Franco Columbus using the bar between his head as if it was a nutcracker lol
pretty impressive that Franco is half Ferrigno's size, but able is comparable in strength.
Franco was enormously strong especially for his bodyweight. Mike Dayton also did some crazy stuff like break baseball bats and " hang" himself. He was very strong.
He lost this event, but overall stronger than Lou I'd say. And Lou was obviously very strong.
@@bar8665 Definitely stronger all-around than Ferrigno in the powerlifts. Lou's long arms and width probably gave him a leverage advantage here.
BIG LOU ALSO WON THE CAR LIFT EVENT IN 1977 WORLDS STRONGEST MAN COMPETITION!
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 yeah and franco's short limbs gave him the advantage in the powerlifts
The italiano power
Lou and Franco Columbo
Roman soldier blood
I remember watching this first WSM competition when I was twenty. The bar bend was particularly enjoyable because Bruce Wilhelm never missed an opportunity to disrespect the bodybuilders and seeing him finish last to little 180 pound Franco with Lou coming in first was great.
Indeed it was. Lardass Wilhelm owes American Weightlifting an apology, as there's no telling how many prospective weightlifters went in the direction of bodybuilding due to his stupid-ass comments. (He redeemed himself a little with an article he did a couple of years ago, but it doesn't undo the harm he did back then.)
How old u now sir
@@महात्माआंधी He was born in 1957
yeah, Wilhelm was a mouthy jerk. This event was supremely awkward for him 🤣
@महात्मा आंधी Wow. Basic math. 20 years old in 1977. Means he was born in 1957. So I'd say he's 66 years old in 2023. Why ask such a childish question?
I watched this live on TV 40 years ago. Holy fuck!
Lou was a BIG dude back in the day. Still in phenomenal shape today given his age.
Lou Ferrigno looks like that Incredible Hulk guy
Ahhh nobody gets sarcasm
R/woosh
Sam Sneads ghost. Lol
Yeah....and Ken Patera looks like that wrestling guy....What was his name?
What? He looks nothing like Mark Ruffalo.....
Big Lou is awesome. Also, it's very impressive that Franco is so much smaller than these guys but did better than most. He was strong in all the lifts and categories as well.
Until the fridge race.
the real Italian stallion big Lou
Lou and Franco... pure Italian strength ❤️❤️ siete grandi 🥰
So true! The monsters of their day but of different heights! 👍👍
I was waiting for Lou to say he got really angry...
You wouldn't like me when I'm Ang Lee.
Prolus- Brilliant!
Bring these kind of events back!
today's bodybuilders would pop like a pregnant zit. 💥
Remember watching this when I was a kid 👍
The great Franco Columbu is a muscular powerhouse!
Tiny dude and stronger than most of these bigger guys.
I hate when people use this term incorrectly. He was never underrated. You may mean forgotten this this age..
Francofan great midget
He might have been a great bodybuilder but he had a fxckd up attitude man..
Ferrigno beat him
Lou was one of THE greatest bodybuilders of all time!!!
HUUUUUUUGE neck muscles!!!
The greatest. 6ft5 and 330lbs plus of lean muscle at his peak. 350lbs prior lean
@@maxsavage3998 I doubt he was anywhere near 330 on stage
I am 62 and remember those competitions, SUCKS getting old
then just get young again, don't be such a slouch
Ahh, just keep punching Apollo.
Lou was strong af
yo mama as fuck bro
+yo mama ... and also funny. I like his answer :)
Why do you think he played the hulk lol
Sterostrong
@@functionalcontractions1469 You clearly don't know how steroids work. Steroids are more for building muscle rather than strength. Roids cause your muscles to synthesize more protein, and there's more to strength than muscle protein accretion. Stop being an ignorant hater.
Imagine if Aliens were watching this from space...
They’d be like” just quietly pass by, we don’t wanna mess with these weirdos’’ hahah
😂
😂
they would understand
They would be scared of Lou ferrigno
He truly is a real HULK!
Franco and Lou are absolute beasts !
The real Incredible Hulk!
That was absolutely incredible! The raw force was real🤘
Lou was a monster back then
Lou Ferrigno is a very impressive human being!!
Franco Colombu was one of the Terminators in the future scene when he's dreaming.
It says he busted up his leg during this competition
I've always loved Ferrigno...Since 1976! We love You Lou!
RIP Franco The Iron Game has lost a brother
Time when bodybuilders were considered as strongest. Now definitions changed.
Now its whoever has the most sponsors 😂
Now its, who is the fat cow with the pot belly?
Now is steroid bodybuilder decade
@@drl4391 steroid effect
@@YTCRUSHVIRALIA Oldschool Bodybuilders uses Steroids too, but nowadays Bodybuilders overuse it and combine it with HGH which made their internal organ getting bigger too, thats why they're looks pregnant and shit, thats why i miss these old bodybuilders, they're straight looks like greek god lol
back then-when bodybuilders where strongman- amazing!!
Didn't have to be as ripped, where now you hit the stage at death's door.
Great to see to see that Mr Olympia competitors could not just compete in WSM back in the day but also win individuals events in the competition. The pregnant Olympia competitors of the past decade can barely walk so you can't even imagine them competing in any other sporting event like WSM
Lou's the best! There is only one man who is stronger: HULK ;)
Not one of the strongest guys at all. Great BB'er
When it was fun to watch WSM.
When strongman had good events
What's interesting is that Bruce Wilhelm kept saying the bodybuilders were weak ( as compared to the weightlifters like himself) but Louie and Franco really did well in certain events and Mike Dayton I believe won the wrist roll. Had Franco not injured himself in the refrigerator race he could have placed quite well against his vastly heavier opponents.
THE 70'S SHOULD BE FROZEN IN TIME FOREVER
Clocky the fuck???
jay w why?
Yes, I would be happy to be frozen in 1977 also as I was in my prime back then at 22 years old.
You're right. No global fucked up messes back then.
Nah the 80's should.
Dame franco was strong ! Considering the size differences between him and Loui
I think I saw Lou turn green xD
I remember watching that! It was on CBS Sport Spectacular in the 70s.
Lou's an absolute beast! Arnie could not do that! Love Ferrigno such a nice guy spoke to him a few times.
Arnie was strong too he won a power lift competitions. His not a noob lol
wow that Ferrigno dude made so much effort that he stated becoming a bit green 0:50
Now we just have vids of Brian Shaw eating 20k calories a day and sitting in a cold tub...
This event alone is better than the CrossFit strongman events of today where it favors the tallest heaviest guys
My dad actually bought weights from this guy gym in Brooklyn, back in the day and I used to have this green ez curl bar that he made it was awesome made my arms huge and then my dad sold it 1 day at a garage sale cause he didn't know I used it, I'm still bummed out about that, I looked online and never found a ez curl bar as good as that 1
They should bring back this event. It's so cool and classic.
Damn, Franco was incredibly strong!
Steroid strong
@@actionfigurescollectionssu7854 and naturally strong as well
@@StretchPlum Well he was a Natural athlete but he became steroid strong later when he became a bodybuilder
@@actionfigurescollectionssu7854 Very true
@@StretchPlum Arnold was never a natural Athlete he was a weak wimp when he was a kid he started to use steroids at the age of 15 years old when he use them he became big and strong and muscular he looked like he was 30 years old, when he was 14 years old he was a skinny weak wimp, Franco was a natural strong Athlete when he was a boxer Champion that’s why he is stronger then Schwarzenegger.
I remember watching this event with my dad. Was very impressed!
"Franco Columbu taken it out of his mouth this time" 0:44 what a line hahaha Franco a true legend
Lou did it perfectly in his first Hulkout with the wrench! 😁
I'd like to see how people like Brian Shaw would bend this bar. It probably wouldn't be about how far they bend it, but how many bars they can bend completely in the time limit lol.
Eddie hall has done this but he used his legs for leverage
Old bodybuilders, condition, strength, running, boxing etc etc - todays bodybuilder goes 2 feet flex, breath heavy.... Old ones i would call sportsmans
0:12 Francos first pull was unreal. Blew all of them away.
Yeah, Franco would've won if it weren't for Lou being 6'5" and having ridiculous arm span.
Being massive sure helps, but Lou Ferrigno has something to prove. An extra motivation. He just "has to win".
Admiring.
Time goes by...
Lou Ferrigno and Franco Columbu? Man i'd love to see todays Bodybuilders participate in todays Strongman competitions.
Lou's delt just so incredibly thick.
Hell yeah brotha
Lou puts meaning to "Ill bend you like a bar"
Hulk Wins! ! ! ! ! !
👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🤢💪💪🏋️♂️
Thanks For Sharing These Videos 📹 About LouFerrigno As Himself!
it was impressive how they were both bodybuilders and strongest man, you don't see that nowadays
It's not because modern bodybuilders are weak, though. It's because people have begun to get more and more educated and focused in certain disciplines. None of these guys would stand a ghost of a chance against modern strongmen like Brian Shaw or Thor, although that doesn't at all take away from how impressive they were all the same.
@@JackgarPrime true
Because no need for bodybuilders do that. Focus in bodybuilding is enough
They need to bring sports like this back--and celebrity boxing.
"Hulk beat Terminator"...
odiemodie1 when?
@@being.official7346 in the future?
Lou told that bar, Bar don't make me angry, You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.!
Franco was never the same after he broke his leg carrying that fridge on his back...severe nerve damage.Stupid needless injury.
what year did that happen? i am very interested in that story?
Lord Inquisitor Ninoslav 78 or 79
I see his strength far surpassed the limit of his body... It was 1977... The joint... the bones... couldn't stand the weight which his muscle can handle well. If he had had just a little bigger body frame, things would have been very different...
He was a strongman after all... I bet he would still do it again even he had the chance. Nevermind the injury: The doctors said he would never lift weight again, he joined bodybuilding and proved them wrong.
Hồng Nguyệt Hồ Ngọc He said in later interview that it wasnt the weight of refrigerator ( 275-300ibs) it was the distribution and a mistep..he routinely squatted 500+ lbs.Your therory is a valid one, just not in the case.
There was a pothole....
Italian Power on display in this event!💪🏋️👌🇺🇲🇮🇹
Big Lou!! Not bad for guys supposedly just lifting for looks lol. Guys like him and Franco (who was extremely impressive as by far the smallest guy there; P4P top athlete) really trained hard with very low tech and early-days scientific data on supplements, nutrition, etc.... yes there are always 'roids but today even the local juicer has faaaar more varieties of legal, illegal, safe/unsafe ways to support development and keep it. There's also far more ways to stay healthy with that development. Those two were just beasts even before the steroids.
Kal El Before you assume shit you don't know, do research. Not all of them were doing steroids.
I'm proudly related to lou ferrigno
Humans at their finest.
Love this era where the frontier between bodybuilding and strength sport was thin.
I would have won!
i agree yes you would have won
hahaha i bet yiu would
+Mariusz Pudzianowski agreed
+Mariusz Pudzianowski no doubt. stay healthy.

against the hulk ? in your dreams
Pound for pound Franco was amazing
True hulk
👍💪🤢
I Don'T know how I came here , but I Love this video
Meanwhile Arnold was bending the maid,😂🤣🤣😂
Amazing strength.
Lou wins the barbend but that's Franco in the thumbnail!
LOU FERRIGNO is the real HULK not animation 💪
The time, when the bodybuilders were stronger than anybody else :)
*Interviewer:* "What was the key to that? You where grunting and groaning..."
*Lou:* _"I'm always angry."_
ferigno was genetically blessed.
Kal El When they competed they didn't use steroids. They got tested for them.
Genetically blessed witg life radiation and tested on by goda

Thanks for sharing this video, never imagined seeing Lou Ferrigno and Ken Patera in one video, wow
We only need Hogan now, Ferrigno vs Hogan, --- winner gets to call himself The Hulk !!👍💪🤢
Too much partying with ric flair for patera. He'd have been a lot stronger a few years earlier.
This was before his wrestling days I think.
I’ll never cease to be amazed that Franco won two Olympias and Louie never got one.
One Italian American was taller, younger and a serious contender...
...the other was short enough to make the Austrian Oak look even bigger - and his best friend!
Given Arnie's involvement in the IFBB I am not surprised the superior bodybuilder did not win in this case.
When bodybuilder were actually strong and practical, I dont seen not even bodybuilder competing in strongman, they would get thrashed on strength terms
Marius and Larry Wheels.
Well I bet ronnie Coleman in his prime would have been a beast in these old school strength competitions
@Ronny Sterling Modern day bodybuilders are stronger then they were back then, see the clips of Ronnie Coleman lifting heavy. Modern day strongmen are way stronger than any bodybuilders, because they train completely for strenght.
@@linushforsberg8385 Franco Columbo was not just into body building but power lifting as well. So he trained for strength as well as muscle building. And besides, modern day body builders aren't necessarily stronger than the body builders of this time period. It depends on the individual and what other type of weight training they do.
Franco was the best rest in peace
Ferrigno in Italian is pronounced "Ferinio" where the "o" has the same sound of the "o" in "top", the "G" is silent.
its pronounced ferino.
*****
That's american style, Ferrigno is an Italian second name, and it's pronounced differently in Italian. the "GNO" in Italian is equivalent to the "NIO" with a slight bit more nosey sound.
non è vero in italia diciamo Ferrigno
In Italian it may be pronounced that way, but in America you're annoying...
Sto spiegando la pronuncia in usando parole equivalente in Inglese, non è possibile diversamente spiegare il suono "gn" in inglese.
I remember being in high school watching this strong man trying to get big like these guys!
wtf is franco doing... trying to wrap the bar around his face.
Arny can do it around his Arnold
Bruh I read this comment while he had it around his head and started dying lmao
Looks like he's trying to put himself in a neck crank
He was trying to SHOCK DA MUSCLE
*yeah next level is wrap with jaws lol* 😂😂😂
this looks so funny and hilaros lol, could be from a buds spencer movie, but its real love it )
I thought this was comedy. This was too funny. Even funnier than bud spencer movies.
yeeer, and the guy with long blond hairs, made it real comedy )
