Definite contender for the overall powerlifting total if he focused on the sport

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

He has the potential, as you say just needs to focus on it.

@metalrocks999 3 года назад

Love seeing the under 6 foot guys doing well at heavyweight.

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

Hi, I hope he gives it another shot this year

@juliodominguez4750 3 года назад

Absolutely

@mikesbbody 3 года назад

He's such a quiet, humble, Guy I hope he does more Powerlifting I hope his first final at WSM will boost his confidence he's still dangerous at any Strongman event.

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

Hey mike, would be nice to see him grab a major title

@simondean5227 3 года назад

He's a very solid pro strongman, but I can't help but think he has more potential as a powerlifter, just based on his frame.

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

Hi Simon, given his stature you could be right.

@nickcustodi592 3 года назад

I love these videos because their rate of development is always so intriguing to me. They all usually have premium muscle building/strength genetics from the get go- and then they just fucking mutate at some stage and the sky’s the limit from there

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

Thanks Nick, appreciated

@lucascheidegger1625 3 года назад

Graham is static power and well rounded strongman athlete. Legend

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

Absolutely agree

@juliodominguez4750 3 года назад

1.78 and 163 kgs....imagine how many years of sacrifice behind that. Really amazing!!!!

@seangentri8878 3 года назад

Same total as Thor but 40 extra pounds in bench and he missed his final lifts. What a beast.

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

Absolutely, just doesn't seem to get as much attention as other strongmen

@seangentri8878 3 года назад

@@StrengthUniverse .....it’s because of all the casuals fanboying Eddie and Thor lol.

@TheJoker-yz8dv 3 года назад

@@seangentri8878 True, but you could say the same about Thor, missed his final deadlift and squat (controversially) and has 44 pounds on Graham's deadlift.

@seangentri8878 3 года назад

@@TheJoker-yz8dv ....Of course Thor has a higher deadlift than Graham. That’s common knowledge. The fact that Graham outperforms Thor at bench, log, and most upper body and overhead disciplines at a much lighter body weight is what is impressive here. Additionally Graham’s squats looked better in my opinion and he was pushing the same weight.

@AA-tq7dm 3 года назад

@@seangentri8878 In fairness both are WSM winners and in Thor's case a bunch of other major titles. Hicks is an absolute beast and a great guy but surely we can appreciate all.

Hey Ollie, thanks for your support as always. Glad you enjoyed it!

@braveheart8517 3 года назад

He is very good 👏💪👍👍🏵

@ellistomago3369 3 года назад

They should have given him that second lift in the bench press. He got it all the way up under his own power.

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

I thought it was a good lift as the weight didn't drop, it was just slower to move on one side. harsh

Hicksey is a static beast!

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

Yes, definitely, I think he's very close to Eddie on Static strength.

@TotalWarChronicles 3 года назад

One of the strongest static monsters left in the game! Wish there more were of the likes of him, with eddie, hafthor and big z gone he is the only one left i feel like:(

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

It does seem like that, some competitions seem to go us on dynamic events too much.

@GammaO12 2 года назад

While I largely agree, Shaw, JF Caron and Iron Bibby are still incredible static strength athletes.

@bagaskarahadjarputra6070 2 года назад

Aside from Eddie Hall, I think Graham Hicks is also another static monster that I much more appreciate since he proves the under 6 ft guy could compete in such a monster size comps

@tmc3301 3 года назад

Awesome work today brother. I didn’t realize that 2020 WSM was the first time he made the finals out of the qualifiers. It’s a shame he was injured though. He is a great athlete.

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

Hey, thank you. He's had some bad luck over the years and I think his height hasn't helped but he's definitely one of the best statically.

@lucascheidegger1625 3 года назад

@seanoconnor1188 3 года назад

Great video as always, I believe Graham can become a static monster just like Hall if kept injury free. I'd love to see a comparison between the Open WSM Oleksii Novikov versus the u105kg WSM Anthony Fuhrman.

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

Thanks Sean, The comparison maybe possible, I'll have to see how many comparative events I can find

@seanoconnor1188 3 года назад

@@StrengthUniverse your best bet for any videos on Fuhrman would be on the official strongman games yt. They post the world games there.

@garywoolford2039 2 года назад

Can you do another video because he hit 440kg for 2 reps in 1 of his latest video

@DreJr 2 года назад

"Because of weakness on his left side he fails the lift." I'm confused by that. In powerlifting the bar has to be parallel to the floor the entire lift? Or was there something else which happened I missed?

@losvatos6714 3 года назад

Really possible if he keeps the pace with this speed, that we may see the next Eddie Hall (possible even stronger because of his shorter limbs).

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

Just needs to add a few Kg to Squat and improve his grip strength.

@losvatos6714 3 года назад

@@StrengthUniverse thank you for the reply, and yes I agree!

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

He may have a few years yet, many powerlifters hit there best numbers in their late 30's

@Brandon-qd2lb 3 года назад

Still feels like he has one more notch he needs to hit to hang with with the best out there. He's close but still has a little more to go. Is it the moving events that's holding him back? Reminds me of smaller Eddie but I think Eddie was a little faster in the moving events.

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

He was very good dynamically earlier. I think his speed has suffered as he has bulked up.

@Stv_creates 2 года назад

No doubt in my mind that hicks has the potential for an atwr at shw .

@Runeman40055 3 года назад

I don’t understand . He seems much better suited to powerlifting than strongman. Why does he not transition to powerlifting ?

sets 220kg EU log record ; doesnt even celebrate LOL

@user-my2se7sn3s 3 года назад

I'm a fan of Hicks and I luv watching Strongman but that aside as a powerlifter myself I compete in powerlifting where we get drug tested and I'm totally against steraroid users competing in powerlifting as powerlifting should be pure and natural but I'm not taking anything away of what strongmen do the training the food intake but different sports strongmen don't get drug tested and when people compete in my sport that's drug tested and they're on the gear I have no respect for that

@StrengthUniverse 3 года назад

Hi S, I appreciate what you are saying but Powerlifting has numerous tested and non-tested federations so I don't think it's an issue although I am sure there are plenty of guys that cheat, use PED's, come off a cycle a week or two before the contest so they can pass the test.
