Arnold Strongman Classic 2024 Training | Apollon's Axle 

It has to be noted that a lot of the guys are keeping things pretty quiet (looking at you Martins and Mateusz). Some guys I assume are focusing more at the Arnold UK that is happening a week after Ohio (Maxime, Oskar). Also take into account that some of the lifts on here are from December, don't judge if some of the lighter weights look heavier. The biggest Hooper lifts are done on a regular bar without the cleaning part so take that into consideration. Who do you have winning this event?

You should do this kind of video with every event at the arnolds. Should be a series that would get pretty good views. A compilation of every athletes best time / reps in each event.

Strongman news and Elder Scrolls Music in background - couldn’ t be better ❤

Toms clean looks so smooth. Awesome technique

i kind of think everyone who's not training on a fixed axle is in for a rude awakening

Tom is so efficient on the clean, I'm picking him, atleast on the axle

you have to appreciate the work Hooper has put in on hisbaxle pressing recently. finally answering the question "what if a top strongman learnt to split jerk" his lifts at 180+ look effortless because of him learning this technique and that will be the difference in this event. he can cruise to 6 or more reps on technique alone and then grind out a couple if he has to, but i think 6 woukd take 1st on this

This will be fun to watch them battle it out 👌

If Evan can get a good few cleans, I think he can do really well in this event. Those presses were just FLYING

Something fascinating looking at these beasts casually throwing my max deadlift overhead haha

Tom is looking amazingly efficient on his lifts. Would have liked to see something at 400 or above. But he was moving with some Savickas efficiency and looked like he had plenty left in the tank. I felt the same with Singleton. Not as efficient, but looked more powerful. I did believe Martins said in his last video he might have to resort to split jerk? Correct me if I am wrong. Martins has said in his videos he has been in a lot of pain too. I don’t know how he will do but all bets are off if he does split jerk. Mateusz looks like the shoulder and tricep power is there but his clean was ugly.

The mixed grip clean looks like a recipe for a bicep tear. But I guess that hasn't been the case historically so I hope it won't be an issue here.

Rumour has it Tom is still axel pressing to this day

This one is tough. I think Tom has the best chances given how good he became at pressing stuff for reps. Still i got to take into sccount the Apollon's whee is more difficult than a regular Axl and only two athletes have done the Apollon's in the past, wich are Thor and Mateusz... The rest, eve though might be doing great in training might find trouble when that thick thing hits their chest. Thor does train in a similar axl to the Apollon's too, so he might cause trouble for the stronger pressers given he knows what he wants to do and how to schive it (wich is 2 reps lol) Hooper and Martins have to be taking serious too given they can split and jerk (wich sould be banned if you ask me) And obviously mateusz and Bobby are just very strong at this event too, so they can contend for numeber 1. Somehow i fear for evan, like his intensity gonna take the worse of him in the Arnold's, that equipment can kick like a horse

Polska górą 🇵🇱🫶Mateusz Kieliszkowski 1

Pretty cool, Martins training with the two best 82kg athletes on the planet

This man is a got dam big man a beast a legend 💪🏼

9:33 a wild Mitchell Harper appears 😅

Mitchell Hooper is looking ridiculously strong! He's poised to win the axle.

Novikov just smashed 400 Kg raw in a competition. I bet ge gets at least 420-430 on the day. If it passes the knees, it's an easy lock out

3:47 witcher 3 music.

I think Tom will win this event

Thor pressing the axle looks like a regular bar

Great video idea, are you going to do all the events?

Mitchell Harper? 😮

Some of those guys struggle with that axle but we will see

Bro this Mitchell Harper guy looks tough

Evan looks good on Axel

to beat the Canadian Moose at the Arnold´s will be not easy for the other´s.

Is it the old school 167kg wheel, that they're using this year? Or is it something new/heavier?

for good log lift and axle results Thor needs a few month more training.

As is was watching it i was wondering why the music is so familiar 😂

And Iron Biby..?!?

He’s WSM AND YOU CALLED HIM “HARPER”!!?!! Seriously???
