I've been a strongman fan for over a decade and I decided it's time to give back to the community and the sport I love.
Lot of strongman videos are on the way. You can expect deep dives into the history of our sport, predictions, reactions and maybe some memes on the side.
If this interests you, like the videos, subscribe for future ones and engage in the discussion in the comments.
The 1983 WSM was held outside USA for first time and was in New Zealand. Bill was invited by David Webster and Dougie Edmunds however he demanded an appearance fee to travel and compete. David ignored his request. He was not banned. In 1985 Bill competed in the first World Muscle power championship (also run by Webster and Edmunds) and was beaten by Capes and JPS. Same in 1987. Bill won the 1988 WMPC though beating Capes and JPS.
I’m actually 63 years old. So I have seen Bill at his best. I really believe that Kaz is THE goat of strength. He won the powerlifting and world strongman at the same time. Give him the gear and modern training he would still dominate.
The greatest strongman ever is z that is big z 1. 8 time arnold classic time champion 2 4 time wrd strongest man 3. Two time ifsa world champion because world' strongest man spilte in 2005
@@thestrongmanhistorian bro think who is stronger I think thor is better in term deadlift squad and bill kazimer is better in bench press over head press but I think thor is much gentices best
The fact that he would still give JF a run for his money at the max squat at the ASC speaks volumes. I’ve read somewhere that he did a 230kg standing overhead press. People weren’t pulling with straps back then and he did 415 kg raw. No suits either. I can’t even imagine how good he would have been if he trained today.
If they would have allowed Kaz to compete in the 5 years that he was banned, he would have won at least one or two more. It was not in his power to overcome the ruling elites
Typing before watching the video... 7 GOATs in my opinion in no particular order: Hafthor, Zydrunas, Brian, Bill, Mariusz, Jon Pall, Magnus Ver. The Strongest Ever is Hafthor. Now let's watch the video...
IMO Greatest of all time = Z Strongest of all time = 2018-2020 Thor Statically Strongest of all time = 2017 Eddie Greatest at WSM = Brian Shaw or Pudz (Pudz had an easier era) Would have been the greatest = Kaz (I think he would have had 6 or more WSM titles) Great video
For those who don't speak freedom units here are some of Bill's Gym lifts 408kg / 900lbs squat for 3 reps 363kg / 800lbs squat for 10 reps 375kg / 825lbs deadlift for 5 reps 227kg / 500lbs bench for 15 reps 203kg / 448lbs seated shoulder press for 3 reps
Its funny that shaw missed a total of 5 titles because of a sandbag mishap earlyin his career and Pudzianowski won his 5th title because his opponent had a mishap on the atlas stones.
