Fuck you man

there`s a negative association with number 6 in Lithuania. For prejudiced people anyway...

movement2contact just like 13 in the US huh?

quangfps well, no... 13 is 13 in LT too =] Being 6th is supposedly a pushover... I even googled it, but Lithuanian interwebz being so limited (3kk population equates to like 0 online content...), some people say it came from prison culture... So again- Soviet times... Anyway, FUCK prejudice and GO Žydrūnas!!

movement2contact Yes it's a small country, not even 3kk pop. now it's like 2.5 because many people are emigrating :)

Big MC ever... No.

Cherryfarmboy60 yeah, people just get stronger and stronger over time

Well he said that his favorite number is "8", so basically whole tournament was just a formality.

All the strongmen are nice

lol i feel like im watching a horror movie at the part he talks about his injuries.

quangfps Bad luck two very famous Lithuanians, because they are both called Big Z.

Bruce Wayne well this is clearly the real Big Z. The other dude is just taller not stronger or even heavier lol.

quangfps He is a famous pro basketball player and I think he was called that first, not the point though, two famous Lithuanians, both called Big Z, it's not like we have that many famous people.

+Lennyblink182 Indeed, Zydrunas kicks every other strong man's ass yet he is humble and down to earth, which in my book makes him an even more impressive strong man legend.

+Obiarshi but tbf let's not take it away from the American brian Shaw. In terms of his character he comes off as a great guy.

ofcourse he is on steroids. Do you also believe in santa claus? Being a pro strongman is impossible without taking steroids.

true

Takashi He is taking steroids, allmof the worlds top athletes are, stop living in a fairytale

I don't believe any man currently on the earth is the strongest man to ever live. But I will say this. It depends on what you consider strength. Strength is subjective to the sport. As far as squat benching and deadlifting. There are people in powerlifting at way lighter body weights than big z who can put up more on those 3 lifts than him. As far as big z"s overhead strength goes I would say he is probably Definetly the strongest. His overhead pressing strength is very impressive.

+Taylor Bass Agreed. But unfortunately, there was an overhead log lift championship in Lithuania last weekend, which Big Z was the host and didn't compete. I think he is retiring... and now the lights would probably go to Brian Shaw in the strongman scene.

Taylor Bass there is nobody in powerlifting who could have totalled more than Big Z at the time you posted this comment. He could have put up a 2500+ raw total if he wanted to. Zydrunas is the strongest man to ever live, no matter how you choose to define strength.

Big Z has the highest static strength of all time for sure.

@@TB473 There are people in powerlifting at way lighter body weights than big z who can put up more on those 3 lifts than him.? :D wow tell me a man lift more than 450 squat 286 bench 450 deadlift 228 log 215 axle and way lighter body weight than big z

Nah, Brian Shaw will kick his ass like he did last year

Reyman499 lol

why?

Nemo Nobody Because they are the statues of the occupants (liberators for Russians)...

movement2contact oh fuck you please,youd prefer German nazis occupating you in 1941-1945?should have fought better, dont see finland occupied by soviets.

drarara1 you`re joking, right...? Or just 12 years old?

pretty sure stalin killed more people than hitler. but whos counting right

UnleashedTraining101 Of course it means more. There is much more spots at the WSM, making it easier to qualify

Indeed Pritchet is an amazing puller but to some extent you have to be lucky to find the balance. There is no way yo tell until you start.

+dieseliscool1 ...and he proved this few days ago.

+Robert Brennan hes a one punch man XD

+ARC __LTU__ Hes the new One punch man or just the new Satama :D

probably just underestimates his intake. 500g of protein have over 2000 already and that wouldn't really give him any energy for training.

Brian is nearly 3/4 of a foot taller and Oberst is talking out of his arse

Oberst does not consume 18000-20000.. i've seen the video too, but you can't believe everything you see/read

Brian is 6 foot 8, while Zydrunas is 6 foot 3, so the heigth difference is actually not even half a foot

Oberst drinks 50 pints of Guinness with each meal.

No, Magnusson is going to be in the Arnold.

sorry its coleman not coe

Ruhl used up to 300 grams. I use 60 g and I can do nice trainings.

Emilios Powerballer Probably error in translation cos he's speaking in Lithuanian ?

Metabolism

Quality of the protein. Z probably eats mostly real protein...steak, chicken and fish. If you're drinking shakes the protein isn't always accurate. Especially if it's a proprietary blend...those brands you might be getting as little as 5 grams or less of protein when it claims you're getting 30. Supplements aren't regulated so they can get away with it. Just eat real food if you want to grow.

The only one who can match him is eddie hall.

+Viktor E not even close...

Ege Çağan Yeah he eats probably between 8000 and 10000 calories

Spoiler alert: he uses growth hormones, testosterones or something, some combination of the sort.

***** because "Zh" is totally Ž in English... =3

+movement2contact It always feels like a cheese grater to my ear when they do the contests and the announcers continually fuck it up... It's disrespectful to the greatest strongman of our time.

What a cuntish thing to say.

Joe McKeown Of course it is look at Pudzianowski he was like 145kg at his tops and theres many more, but most of strongman guys eat tones of food to gain power and dont care about lean muscle....or cardio

Hafthor Bjornnson is over 400 pounds and still rocks a 6-pack

+teanshin "...dont care about cardio..." well for starters 'cardio' consists of low intensity long duration which is useless in all endeavors except more cardio. triathletes are only proficient in triathlon. fitness doesnt carry over to any other activity. Conditioning on the other hand carries over to many activities. Do you think a 300 - 400 pound guy could carry an extremely heavy object over any distance without conditioning? ! No. Any body can run but to lift a heavy object and walk with it or even multiple heavy objects and run with them like strongmen do takes conditioning and a strong efficient heart. I never do cardio. i walk 8 - 9km each day and lift 3 times a week and have a resting hr of 56bpm. im only 176lb but can walk with 260lb.

jaxx Yeah, but he is 6'8 or something like that, Big Z is just 6'3

:-))))))

Yeah maybe it has something to do with his metabolism

CLEVEN11 3x the average metabolism doesn't seem that plausible.

loggie24 ofc.. some people are just build in different ways.. ever saw a fat somalian ? somalians for example dont have that much fat cells because they were never able to build them up because of the hunger-issues in their country. Thats why its harder for them to keep fat. Ofc thats just a example and ofc there are fat somalians in this world. I have very good genetics too.. I can eat ALOT without gaining much fat, because I have very good metabolism.. unforonately that also means that I have to EAT ALOT if I wanne gain weight. A guy like Zydrunas doesn't have to eat alot and still keeps the fat ressources better. (which is basically energy that you need when you workout for example). My body doesn't even builds them up that fast, even if I would eat alot of fat. Or another example is the rapper Big Pun who basically die'd because his metabolism kept so much fat that he wasn't able to use all this energy which was leading to having extreme overweight, even tho' he didnt even ate that much. Alot of people have that problem, because their bodies aren't build for this modern world where you can get that much food.

loggie24 Samoan people are a very good example too. You barely see any of them who aren't big.

I think they cut out the part when he's stretching.

eat dog shit loser!

The Butcher's Right Overhand Because he is a Strongman and not a Bodybuilder
