I feel like not having a power belly is a disadvantage.. Literally one of the steps is resting the axel on your belly😂 or as Eddie calls it “your shelf”
@@anthonyproffitt5341 I know Loz has spoken of him. Thats about it. Useally you just see him within other people's videos but isn't focused of his accomplishments
There are many strong men the people know about because they are from more recognized places like the United States or UK and they are amazing strongmen. What they don't see are the men who come from little known places and are just as deserving of a chance to be recognized. However if you ask any of them they will tell you that Big Z is the G.O.A.T. (Sorry Brian & Eddie, my all time favorites along with the Stoltman Brothers) If you haven't had a chance to watch the documentary called Born Strong you should. It gives you an insight on Brian Shaw, Eddie Hall, Hafthor Bjornsson and Big Z. I have followed the world's strongest men for years and I didn't know some of the things that they brought to light in this documentary. I've said this many times on other threads but I'll say it again, the world doesn't truly realize what these men put themselves through and the sacrifices they make with not seeing their families, dedicating their lives to this sport, the pain, the tears, the world records, the financial struggles, the wear and tear on their bodies and so much more. Please go support these men, even if it means doing something as small as subscribing to their channels or ordering a t-shirt because anything helps them. People have this misguided notion that they are all rich and have it made when that is far from the truth. A weekly food bill can be upwards of $1,500-$2,000. They deserve to be recognized with more than just a trophy here and there and an autograph when you run into them. Which they don't mind giving because they are such nice human beings. Ok, rant over lol. Go support your local strongman, my orders lol!! *Edit: Several of these brilliant men have documentaries about their lives. Go check them out, it will give you a better idea of what they go through. You see them at these comps doing magnificent feets of strength but you may not have seen the behind the scenes of what they have came from and where they have fought their hearts out to get to. It will have the biggest of men trying not to cry after you see their fight uphill to get to where they are.*
@@grimnir9274 One is called Born Strong and it's on RU-vid. The Stoltman Brothers documentary is on the Mulligan Brother's channel on RU-vid. I guess to sum it up I have found most of them looking on RU-vid and a lot of them on Netflix.
Exactly. This is a Giants Live record, not the world record. Strongman promotions seem to have always liked to pretended that only their organisation can set world records. Z had done 200 kg axle back in 2007 IFSA World championships and 2 reps of the 208 kg Apollon's Wheels you mention was a rediculous feat of strength, that isn't talked about enough.
