maybe the reason he's so good at the other events is because his deadlift is so weak. with certain individuals strength potential can sometimes be maxed out in certain areas at the expense of other areas

If hafþor completely comes back from his Pec-tear he will be on the Throne again.

​@@Technique-kj2bp If I remeber rightly, he had some lower back issues in the past which affected his deadlift. I don't think it's due to him being overly developed in any other events as such. He has still deadlifted over 400kg, which would be considered elite level in any other context. If he could just get up to a consistent 440kg he would probably not be dropping so many points in that event.

Amen😢

@@1milliondogs yeah I've heard about his back issues but I still have a feeling if he improved his deadlift we'd see other areas of his game take a hit as a result. I imagine he knows it as well and that's why he's not made any attempt to improve his deadlift by any significant amount for years

he owns those stones.

​@@Kingslayer_auno that Set belonged to rougue im pretty sure.

@@hgbbccchcccvvb8226Rogue has become Rouge? Anyway they should give them to him. He loves that stone.

@@Kingslayer_auDefo

@@hgbbccchcccvvb8226 The Tombstone is Odd Haugens Tombstone =)

The dominance!

Tom did. Hooper didnt have to because he already beat the polish boy.

​@@hgbbccchcccvvb8226 He didn't have to but he tried and couldn't get it

No tom did not, he only got first 2 what, also mitch tried his best to lift the last one but failed

@@hgbbccchcccvvb8226 Hooper is clearly better , 10 points above Mateusz , but calling him "boy " is rude

@@hgbbccchcccvvb8226didn’t hooper fail like 3 attempts on the last stone lmao

26:52 here it is

@@azes6209 My man 🤝forgot to change timestamp from my other comment, changed it now ty!

caught that too Odd is the best

Me too, I think he deserves one. Im always excited to see him perform

Nie mógł...chyba jest zakaz ingerowania w trakcie

But Mitch Hooper had Arnold stand up to come watch him lift the stone just to end up not lifting the stone.

@@Bear_Feces lol that was cringe

@@Bear_Feces Mitch asked him to come up.. then failed lol Biggest cringe moment ever

@@flesz_ Mega-cringe. Like Mitch is an awesome athlete, but his hubris definitely got the better of him in that moment. That's why I like Mateusz, just seems like a super humble and calm guy.

@@Bear_Feces It's not hubris when you're almost 12 points ahead of second place and won back to back Arnold's as a rookie. Even if Mateusz won the elephant bar deadlift he'd still be second place. Humble and calm doesn't mean much when Mitch has accomplished more as a strongman in 2 years than Mateusz has in his entire strongman career.

True that, he's a flog lol... not to mention he incline chest pressed the stone... and it was accepted.. meanwhile the strong athletes were actually trying to lift overhead.

... So?

Okay Timmy

Not Pride id say, hes just having a good time

Nope.. it's Mariusz

It was different era, numbers went up since Pudzian days. Kieliszkowski is much stronger @@prasannjitkumar780

that can be said about literally any champion. Shaw only started winning when Savickas was getting older, THor won when Shaw started to decline etc. While the fact is Hooper is the most dominant champion this sport ever saw.

​@dtosmanm4743 exactly! Mitch hooper comes and is starting to dominate and I don't even feel like he's trying. That's when you know he's legit

Hooper just broke the 180kg apollos axel and dinnie stone record and was awfully close to breaking the timber carry world record if he didn't break it, in this comp alone.

@@sadiqulkadir7507it’s up to the other guys to raise their game

@mark4lev I don't think it's physically possible for anyone on stage right now, mateusz if he raises his deadlift would be great, cant ever count thor out of course and only Tom can challenge on his best day. Mitch is nowhere near his peak he's not even 30 I'm sure

And here I thought he looked like the 2nd strongest man by 11.5pts.

what

Even with double points, he would have still ended up 2nd

Knew there was a tricep tear but didn't know all that, thanks for commenting. That puts everything even more into perspective. If he stays injury free and gets his deadlift up to par, he would be in a whole different league. Dude's already such a monster though, all the respect.

Nah i think that was a nose bleed

Pudzianowski nawet jak już wygrał. I tak lubił potwierdzić swoją dominację i wygrać ostatnia konkurencję, nawet gdy nie musiał.

Rob was very good

Travelling the world for months on end instead of training like every else. What did he expect?

@@joebot9309 yep your right, i certainly believe in people doing what they love and taking different opportunities.. but you have to understand that comes with compromises.. he looked so frustrated it looked like he was expecting a lot more which like u pointed out, was that really ever going to happen? U can't have your cake and eat it! As the saying goes! 😂 It was always like oberst , he would always come in to events expecting to do amazing but he never seems to take his fitness and health seriously.. so he would do one decent lift totally gas out or get injured (I'll be honest it got so bad with him I kinda got annoyed that they kept letting him compete over competitors that took things a lot more serious) Now Martin's I don't think is bad like that, but, he likes his flights of fancy and when you're competing at this level the cracks will start to show.
