Strongman/Armwrestling Sherdog Strongman Discussion V2



Revenge of the little guy? I have been seeing recently video of people pulling insane nearly 1000 pound deadlifts with straps or over 900 without straps and these are people who weigh in around 270 lbs. I seen people from powerlifting community who are doing multiple reps with over 800 pounds again while weighing under 300 lbs. I saw a guy who weigh like 220 pick up a 380 lb stone and put it on a platform it looked like he could easily top 400 lbs. Are we seeing the days of insanely heavy competitors coming to an end? I think that health and improved training methods and dieting has helped competitors hit higher targets without needing to eat so much.

I think it's going to be a Balance , guys like Tom Stoltman are always going to be huge but many accounts isn't the the 400 to 440lber that Thore and Brian were in their Primes. Tom Hovers around 370-380 and that 20lbs pound difference doesn't seem to have affected his stattic strength much and he moves extremely well for a Big Man. Then you got the other strongman, novikov, Martins, Mateusz they hover around 275-320.

Marius did a Q&A with a couple of updates thrown in



Translated answers
  • starts strongman training next month.

  • declines every invite he gets, plans Arnold Classic 2023 as his first show

  • thinks he has no use for a sport psychologist, at least not a guy who never competed or wasn't on stage

  • blames wrong approach to training for his injuries. Just now got a team responsible for mobility, regeneration and everything every strongman did for the last 8 years.

  • doesn't plan an MMA career, like every other polish strongman, but if he did, he plans on gaining weight and going all prime Bob Sapp vs Minotauro on his opponents.

Gonna make me feel a little uneasy every time i see him lift something heavy in the future, hopefully he knows his limits now and doesn't do irreparable damage.
 
Tonight shows just how impressive Eddie's 500 was.

An absolute amazing feat of strength.

Pavlo was super impressive! Glad he's living up to his potential. He's the best prospect in Strongman right now imo. He's comically wide. And he was lean too, veins popping out of his arms. Probably the biggest guy right now in terms of straight up overall muscle mass.
And he's still ridiculously fast.
