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.

Hey WSM, I have a question! The American and British versions of WSM 2021 had different interviews and behind the scenes, any possibility you can release this as extra content? I mean as a fan, when I first watch the show I just want to see the lifts and the results, but later is nice to see the athletes opinions on each event, how they handle them and what went wrong. I hope you guys can do it, love how much this channel evolved last 3 years!!

@gotzvonunentberlichingen1452 2 года назад

Totally agree, though I do hope to see more of the heavy Castle Stones at Giant’s Live. The sport has progressed so much, most athletes can pick up all five of the light set in under 25s. Athletes beating each other by tenths of seconds should be reserved for yokes or farmers walks.

I don't think strongman is becoming crossfit. I just think there are only so many ways to test the human body without certain disciplines overlapping a bit.

@MrSnakekaplan 2 года назад

Not really, people don't want 5 deadlift events, they just want static to be in the MIX. The 'casuals' favourite at moment is mostly Kieliszkowski, who is probably the most competitive man for moving events.

@bdegrds 2 года назад

Whoever thinks this are nubie kids who don't know the history of strongman. CrossFit is a spoof of weightlifting essentially. They take popular forms of lifting then water then down so the 99% can relate to it, genius marketing. Can't do a chinup then do a kip up. You know that rowing machine every body uses, it's now an event etc... Then on top of that take a fook ton of ped's to compete in this watered down strongman/Olympic lifting event, and the CrossFit Olympic lifting technique even at the competitive level is a horror Show. CrossFit caters to the direction society is going, instead of the cream rising to the top and sacrificing everything to succeed there is now a Sport that anyone with no gifted ability can compete in and feel like they really are the special snowflake they need to believe they are.

@anton6795 2 года назад

I mostly agree with this but not a 100%, I mean Terry says himself that he needed to change his body to adapt to the competition, then we have to ask why did the competition change? I think all know that the competition changed when Kaz won three times in a row and he wasn't even invited, and everyone know that O.D Wilson got robed by a ridiculous event. I think we need to bare in mind that this competition is for our entertainment and they try to do everything so that the competition feels alive. It's not about who is the strongest really.

@goonersquadpyongyang 2 года назад

Strongman is CrossFit if Crossfit actually involved lifted heavy with proper form. So, in other words, not CrossFit.

@cameronhutchison4610 2 года назад

Brian and Tom both said to train for WSM2021 then needed to train lighter to be good. So I think the problem is less about WHAT events and more about the weight of the events. Not that they have to be just drastically heavier, but for things like medleys and carry’s to up it a bit to make it a bit less about speed and a bit more about strength. Guys shouldn’t be saying that they are now training lighter to be good at worlds strongest man. Not a great sign.

@finestjellybeansrawlol9486 2 года назад

The problem is the top guys are so good that if you slow them down the lower down guys are gonna be fucked and get hurt or 0. Like with say the Rogue Invitational DB medley - most of the field got like less than half the DBs but Novikov barely struggled. Could they do a medley which makes Tom struggle? Yeah, but then of the 25 guys like half would get hurt or not complete it and that's not what they want.

@cameronhutchison4610 2 года назад

@@finestjellybeansrawlol9486 thanks for the response, I totally see that point. I think for some events they could keep them the same but I think there are for sure some events they could make heavier and even meet in the middle. Take for example a medley: they could start with normal implements and have a real heavy one or two at the end. Then all the guys get at least most of the way and can still get points based on time, but then it also separates the guys who really are strongest in that event from those that aren’t. I don’t wanna see a max for everything, but something where multiple implements are done can separate stronger guys from weaker and still allow everyone to complete a big portion . Like a fingles fingers, log ladder, deadlift ladder, and medleys that get heavier (like I previously said).

I think it's harder for you cause your a heavyweight, so obviously you'd be more inclined to lifting heavy weights than endurance and cardio. For a smaller guy, CrossFit would probably be easier, especially with the bodyweight exercises that it has, like pull ups and hand stands

@MrSnakekaplan 2 года назад

A little bit dishonest here, nobody is complaining that there are moving events, they are complaining that the static events are been deleted (seemingly to favour the current favourites). Complaining that there are ONLY moving events is not a complaint against moving events.... 'ONLY' is the key word. Nobody is saying it should be all static, they just want the static to stay part of the mix.

@finestjellybeansrawlol9486 2 года назад

How have they been deleted? There's just as many as always. The last WSM final had log, DL, keg toss and stones. That's 4/6 static events. The heats were also 3/5 static events. This claim that there's no static events left is nonsense

@MrSnakekaplan 2 года назад

@@finestjellybeansrawlol9486 The quote is "been deleted". I'm illustrating what the complaints are more accurately than this people of the video want to acknowledge (or realise since they probably only heard about the complaints during the interview). I suspect you will find a large majority of viewers watch the finals only (nothing wrong with casual fans). You are obviously CORRECT in that there are still a lot of static events, however i think you will find the big 3 from powerlifting are the ones that people get most excited for. This is partly due to crowd favourites like Eddie Hall saying 'the deadlift is the most true test of strength' or 'who can pick up the most from the floor to their hips is the strongest in the world, end of story', i'm paraphrasing from the 2019 arnold classic where Eddie Hall was commentating. Sigmarsson famously stated "there is no reason to be alive if you can't do deadlift" which i think Hafthor has tattooed if i remember correctly. Can't really be angry at the fans who have become accustomed to these types of events.

@finestjellybeansrawlol9486 2 года назад

@@MrSnakekaplan Rght but as I've pointed out those events are still there. When did the finals last not have a deadlift? The last one had a DL for reps and a log for max, the one before had a DL for max and a log ladder. The complaints are completely inaccurate when they are that events that are still there have "been deleted" (not sure why you tried to correct me on that when I literally used the same words?)

I don't "know this" because your argument is nonsensical as fuck and you change it every comment. You've gone from "there's no static events", to "there's less static events" to "an upcoming comp doesn't have a DL".
