Talking Strongman with Nick Best 

I like how his title is "Possibly Thanos" hahaha, that's so great.

Nick Best is one of my favourite strongmen of all time, not just for his extraordinary feats of physical strength but the strength of his character as well.

Good call Loz but the role model for Thanos was without a doubt Rich Piana:)

Ha! Possibly Thanos

Requesting Kevin Nee and Arild Haugen 👍🏻

Brian had Thor on his RU-vid channel for a Q&A and there didn’t seem to be any negativity from either of them

loz are you in denial about not wanting to compete? 😉😂 You can still enjoy dancing even if you aren't Micheal Jackson 😂

Another awesome video big Loz!! Do you remember Boris Haroldson? I met him and honestly a great guy and great strongman stories to tell. Would love for you to track him down and interview him. What do you think?

So you're telling me that Nick could always have a beard like that and just chose not to?

Happy that Nick can avoid the 9 to 5 now. May we all be so fortunate one day.

I'm in my 40s, and every time I want to give in to my "old man aches", I think to myself, "F(×# it, Nick Best can leg press a car"

He doesn’t get enough credit . He’d be incredibly impressive even if he was 30 but at 50 years old his numbers are mind blowing . Incredible athlete

Mark Felix and Nick Best are like the gate keeper's of strong man.

I think a great interviewee for this would be Hjalti Árnason (the coach constantly yelling "Kazmierinn!" at Jon Pall in WSM 88), competitive strongman in the 80s and 90s, unfortunately never made WSM finals, he started training with Jon Pall as teenagers, was a mentor to a young Magnus Ver, made the documentary about Jon Pall after he died and is still active in the strongman scene in Iceland and hosting competitions, including the upcoming ISM that will be streamed by Rougue.

41:30 when he talks about Brian and Thor if anyone is here for that.

Loz does it again with the top tier interviews. Always love listening to these!

Great interview guys two gentle giants. I've never been to a WSM event but always wanted to. I bumped into you once Loz a long time ago at Chiquitos in Swindon you never quite appreciate how big you guys really are until you actually stand next to you 😂👍 keep up the good work. Nick very pleased for you not having to work full time brother. Hope to see you in Giants live and other comps very soon. 👍

As a 32 year old whos best deadlift is 300kg, guys like Best, Odd Haugen, Felix, Savickas who keep getting stronger in to their 40''s are super inspirational and a role model. Old man strength all the way

Easing back into benching with 10-rep sets of 120kg...two weeks after elbow surgery. I have no words. Dude’s a beast!

Nick, my kid was shocked at the beard!🤣 Nice to hear you're better.

Awesome stuff. Nick is as great a personality as he is a strength athlete...

I'd love to see Raimonds Bergmanis!

"Possibly" Thanos

Would be terrified to see you on the BJJ mats

This channel get better and better

Nick grew that beard just for this interview

Nick is the boss dude .started lifting in 1984 😶 all the top competitors where born 5 years after that and he is still crushing it!

Imagine if people in general talked to and cared for each other like this, society would be much better.

Awesome interview as always Loz. Can't wait to see maybe Mariusz or Mateusz on. I know their English is more difficult than others but mateusz did well with brain saws video.

Nick best and mark felix are living proof age is just a number, od haugen is just the next level .

Nick is Best.

I briefly met Nick and got a photo with him when he came to Australia's FitEx (now Arnolds) maybe 10-11 years ago. I think Poundstone won the competition (with an injured bicep iirc) but Nick came second and would entertain the crowd and joke around with some of us. Great guy and a total class act!

Imagine someone as strong as nick getting you in a jii jistu hold, HOW would you escape? 😳

This is such a good episode, Loz. It just feels like 2 buddies reminiscing over some of their best experiences. Really good stuff.

I met Nick and Oberst in the UK. As it happens they were doing log at the same time as me. I was in PR territory and they we're warming up 🤣 But, Best and Oberst are true credits to the sport, they're polite, humble and just down to earth people. You should try and get Robert Oberst on!

Nick Best, what a man ! Always liked his attitude. great athlete.

Thanks for having Nick on, he is an inspiration. I keep feeling like I'm on the downhill slope at 45, but with guys like him and Felix... I got no excuses.

I liked Nick Best already, but now I really think he's a stand up guy.

So much wisdom in 50 minutes. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Nick Best just shot up my list of favorite strongmen of all time!

Love the videos Loz, keep them up!

As a young person I absolutely love Nick best. Guy is a huge inspiration. And a freaking beast. Strongest oldest man in the world

Nick ol school he come from a time when u don't ask for nothing. And you work for every thing he what America use to be. I watch the show I think ed had a lot of respect for nick, and I think you could see nick think a lot of ed to. You could see it when he talked about him he doesn't want him hurt. The best part of the show is when you animals forget for a second the world watching and you boys just talking old times. That we're no other talk can compete with you. It make it great. Just like walking in the ol store and listen to the ol timers talking back in the day. I'm 40 I understand them times

Such a great man nick best

First off... took me to 25 minutes in to notice 'Possibly Thanos'. Was glad I'd finished eating when I did or I'd have likely choked on it laughing. Well played Loz. I watched 2010 wsm not too long ago also and gods that was an amazing battle on the sand in the loading race. One of the best one event battles in WSM history maybe. Might be the last one I watched... don't remember seeing a young Thor competing as-yet. On what's said about progress etc... I'd kind of really like to see someone who isn't a high level body-builder or powerlifter starting out, and maybe someone like yourself, or Hafthor sharing their progress on here, or instagram. Also... I feel for anyone who has to roll with Nick in Jiu-jitsu. That said, hoping Nick has some big guys to grapple with for some actual challenge. Technique goes a long way, but if someone can overpower their partner's whole body with one arm, it's redundant. And lastly... on Big Z's log record.... thing is, Z's training to compete again... chances are he'll be the one to beat his own record again.

I think nicks predictions on the fight are going to prove very accurate

Nick's a glass act

The nice guys of strongman both genuine blokes who don’t let their ego get ahead of them.

Nick Best is a LEGEND 💪💪💪💪

You deserve millions of subscriber you are an inspiration big loz and i appreciate your efforts...I wish you reply .... biggest fan

great to hear how much it means to the strongman now that the big arena shows are rolling. the shows are just as important to the fans too, strongman is arguably the most ancient sport on the planet, back in ye olde times (lol) our strongmen would have been the protectors of the tribe, the backbone at harvest time. strongman, its visceral, ancient ingrained in humanity

1000th like gave me a celebratory animation. I feel like this is as special as winning world's strongest or something. 🤣 Good chat, Nick is a cool guy.

Oh yeah. Here we go !!!!!

Next guest wil be either tomy stoltman or polish power mateusz

you cant be mad at Eddie if he was being honest by saying one of the legs didnt move, thats a true friend, and arsehole friend would have left you thnking you lifted it forever when you never did

Big z : i am longevity Nick best : hold my 800lbs deadlift 😂

Nick's quarentine beard is getting crazy.

Nick is a good lad. Always cheered for Nick. It feels like I have been watching you, Nick, Mark and Caron for so long now. Always a staple in the sport. Great embassadors of the sport.

Lmao that title is mint. 2 legends, 2 great humans. Much love guys

binge watched strongest man in history yesterday, fantastic, season 2?

Uncle Loz, what is your next bedtime story? 😴

Very inspiring, the Best strongman, like your attitude, hope you get more titles in the future

Itd be really fun to see you two commentate for thor and Eddie's fight

Gotta order soft shell crab with "no mustard"!!!!!

I like Nick's maturity. I thought he was going to kill Robert Oberst a couple of times. I agree that I hope neither Eddie or Thor get hurt in this fight. I also liked both of your comments about Paul Anderson. I love Paul Anderson! Amazing man.

Nick would be on the list of people to meet and chat seems a genuinely top bloke great interview once again Loz

Battle of the beards. Big Gimli vibes.

Very enjoyable as always. And agree with Nicks assessment on the fight.

I like him even more now, didn’t think that was possible haha

NICK BEST looks exactly like my best friend seriously.

I love Nick, he's one of the more personable strongmen, and you can tell he thinks carefully about everything he does which I have a lot of respect for. Can't wait for the next interview Loz! Good shit

Awesome interview Loz, you keep out doing yourself with these interviews.

What do we (the fans) have to do to get Strongman as financially lucrative as basketball? I don’t want these guys to have to worry about feeding their athletic careers.

Love Nick. Great guy, met him in Scotland at my gym and the dinnie stones. Hope he comes to giants live Scotland.

Nice to hear Loz and Nick talking about slow progression. I was here thinking I should’ve started in my teens because of people a couple years older than me like Tom Stoltman already at Worlds, but hearing 2 of the all time greats say it’s all about slow progression just makes my spark burn a little brighter!

I hope they so another season of the four strong men wives taken over the tests with the men in support.

Would love to see a nick best 2 when his battery isn't dead

Not Possibly, Definitely Thanos💪

a strongman without a beard is not a real strongman

Nick's got the squirrel tail beard goin on. Love it

Imagine if he went full time pro strong man a few years ago honestly think he would of won a wsm by now! Great guy!

Nick is such a great wholesome dude just like you Loz,awesome podcast man!

Big Loz wish you would just let you body heal and come back to WSM

We need a Paul Anderson video Loz 😁

Oh yes we are really progressing now!!

Nick best is so humble man and so strong man, i send for him in his instagram account and i am in medial east in the Arabian Gulf And he answers me he is my idol cuz I started strong man in same his age and i am 40 years old also mark the panther felix also thanks for the the interview with nick best I hope to see mark felix also and we want learn from him

Best Strength 100%

Nick is one cool guy.

Tom Magee

Amazing that Nick doesn’t have to work anymore 🙏🏻💪🏻 Loved watching him on the strongest man in history tv show !! He had chest problems and still tried to finish the race ! Amazing and timeless

I'm trying to start training up for the oldman Masters competitions at 38, but Rogue has been out of stock of everything since the virus hit😥😋. Nick and Mark Felix are definitely super inspirations, I dream of one day having grip strength even remotely close to Mark's.

I knew Nick was a Champion Powerlifter but didn't know his Powerlifting career lasted for so long Nick can still put younger guy's in their place nice Guy always great to see him do so well.

Excellent interview!! Been a fan of Nick Best for a long time. (for fyi Green Mambas are not found in Botswana. Odds are it was a Boomslang or one of the Green Snakes)

Top man nick best and you loz nice one for these uploads interesting stuff sir

Loz, keep talking to these guys and you’ll get hungry... fingers crossed! No sport is better to their fans, or appreciate them more than strongman. They should be rewarded for that.

As ever a great interview, so many name drops for us older strength fans, hope the elbows hold out Nick. Thanks Loz.

Can anybody please tell me at what time does he talks about Brian shaw?

Gotta give Nick props on the beard, it looks awesome. The goatee was very recognisable, but I have to say this is a stronger look.

Just the best of lads on this channel. Top notch with the Big Loz.

Buena entrevista, admiro mucho a los hombres de strongman 💪🧔

Masters in Doncaster Nick 💪🏻👍🏻
