Which is the express point of most regulated competitions. To find new innovations in a field. Work smarter not harder. Even strongman which is based in obvious acts of showmanship plays to this.

Probably wasn't and is probably fixed now for sure. I'd bet money at the time it blew everyone's mind that you could even bounce 144kg that high lol.

Ye its not the the rules that need changing its the springy mat

I knew what it was going to be before the vid even started. Legal is a grey area as this is clearly not the intended form but ethically, this is not even close to "in the spirit of being a strongman". I would be embarrassed to pull this.

Yea, it's definitely not in the rules but apparently a grey area. NO ONE was expecting them to bounce that stone like that. NO ONE. Not the people who created this event or the rules for it. And because of that "do not bounce the stone off the mat and catch it" was not included in the guidelines. It even sounds silly considering how much that thing weighs. To me it should never have been accepted but being that it was not specified in writing means they could do it and get away with it. Aside from being incredibly dangerous, half the strength is taken from the lift by not picking it up off the ground. I would imagine this oversight has since been corrected.

Easy rule fix: The stone has to come to rest before attempting the next lift.

Fantastic point you make Sir 😛👍

There were girls!? I’ll have to watch it again now.

I dont het the point of the girls on the first place

Classic strongman. Part of the price.

What's the source of all the Eddie Hall dehydrated jokes?

@@ryan_rakowski He keeps claiming he's not fully hydrated and hence drinks raspberry (I think) juice cause he once saw an article about it doing wonders for one's hydration. He admitted that after a few years he never managed to find the said article or any mention of raspberry juice benefits but kept on doing it.

probably very very dehydrated

But why though. I've seen in MMA too like whats the point

Would you explain that to me? I've scoured his videos and can't find the origin of why all the hydration jokes around Eddie Hall

Tanner Duggan Eddie very often mentions how he’s dehydrated, so people make jokes about how frequently he talks about it

Slow capping and shit one even looked away lmfao

Exactly. Its up to whoever to designed the events to think these things through.

only1aeon brains over brawns

@eagle PHD Because you'd think for a competition everyone should do the same lift, not some of them bouncing the stone off of the rubber pad to make it easier.

@@SicKid210 this is a strongman contest not a smart man contest

Wubsie then what the fuck is the point of competing and having a rule book. If you don’t get proper depth it’s an incomplete rep and therefore shouldn’t can’t.

I feel like it is an exploit. This meaning while not against the rules, pretty cheap. That being said, with money on the line...all bets are off

@@dustinropp yeah that's a good way of putting it.

@@dustinropp But it's legal.

If there is a description of this lift in the rules of this competition and it says eg "the contestant should lift the stone up to his shoulder and then put it down/or repeat"etc, then it could be considered as cheating, since he is bouncing it.

dustin ropp how is it cheap to be better? That’s like blaming the first guy to ever dunk. It’s an exploit anyone could have found but didn’t. Is dunking cheap because it’s easier and has a higher finishing percentage than a deep two? He outplayed the other idiots that didn’t figure it out.

“Stone to shoulder”

Ball was on the floor... gotta rewrite the rules

Vlosh guess you’re right. Jeez what a bummer to the ones that lifted legit. Gonna have to say _stone must come to rest at floor and shoulder before each repetition is successfully completed._

@@Omni-Rage Its contradictory to say the others were "legit" yet to admit this wasn't against the rules. It was all legit. Some people did it the hard way...some were smart enough to go with a new technique. That's called innovation and its happening every day. If they don't like it then they can change the rules.

@@brokenwave6125 That may be so, must be fixed, but it is unfair uses less effort and less time. Each lift should be like the first - pickup stone from resting position to resting position on one shoulder and repeat..

Yeah bro, same. Sadly since his Hip injury hasn't been the same

Especially since he's just 21 here, what a monster

Something was bouncing

Profile pic checks out

@@AndreasNilsson96 you are gay or dont know what simp means

hot woman? all i saw was eddie hall

Right on!

True but what about the guy before him that got 7 reps?

Yeah that's something old people say about their methods. Even though new methods is far better. Nooo we have to do it the old fashioned way, you seem to persist

@@mynameisnobody3931 eddie would have ripped the shit out of that contest if he did the bouncing thing, he may have done past 10 reps. Rules are only fair if everyone knows about what is legal and what is not.

@@camilofuentes7056 you do realize that they have group rules walkthroughs and question sessions with the judges the day before right? I guarantee at least the first guy who bounced would've asked if that technique is allowed and gotten the greenlight to do it. What's more likely is that Eddie and the other lifters deemed it too dangerous considering the two guys bouncing it weren't serious competitors. Sometimes champions sweep the whole comp, but more often than not, a champ is crowned based on who can win one or two events and place top 3 in all the rest, no serious contender for first place is gonna risk a crushed foot for an extra couple reps.

Sure it matters. When you have guy's like Eddie lifting them the fair/legal way. Imagine how many he could have gotten if he didn't have to pick them up from the floor

Hahahha spoken like a true communist. Authority over everything. Logic doesnt matter to U sheeps 😂

@@D9Wx What a mong you are.

@@AJ-xv7oh Yep that is some pro monging

Dannynorw what are a Trump supporter?

probably, but i guess if its not in the rules at the time then way to go lol

It takes creative shit like this for those rules to be made

I believe it was added to rules afterwards.

​@@wileecoyote5749 that would ruin the sport

He has a vagina

Good one.

if the rules state that the stone should touch the ground, it technically is inside those rules

lol do you even watch strongman? Every guy can break the stone off the ground, it’s rolling it up your body and resting on your shoulder that’s the hardest part.

@@CableReadyTechnoSIut asking whether or not I've watch strongman while these comments are on a strongman video, That alone makes your comment already stupid and as far lifting stones go, well the main question is, do u even lift? because bouncing and catching the stone makes those reps a lot easier then stopping the stone and then re-lifting it, so go and tryout a strongman gym, pick a heavy stone up, put it down and then slowly lift it again, then use the same stone and bounce it and lift it, then u will easily know the difference and then u will know what you're talking about.

BigThunders_Topics is English not your first language?

@@CableReadyTechnoSIut poor little troll, got nothing useful to say, so u resort to asking me if English not my first language, keep trolling ppl on different video's, maybe your IQ will go above 50 points.

Arturo Moreno De Jesus Mike Caruso did more without the bounce, fanboy.

Jérémie Borgia cool bro

Fanboy 🤣

Dude like It was written on the schreen why did you have to say such bullshit?

Eddie who? The Real Record of this belongs to Thor who did 8 cleans and reps with 142 kg stone at 2014 Giants Live Melbourne, a few months before this.

This was 2014. It's a growing sport. A lot more popular now, thanks to character's like Eddie Hall and Thor.

@A.A.Ron Davis I couldnt remember if they did or not, glad they didnt. I hope they make the rules more specific though to discourage similar practices.

That was also Belsak at the last WSM :)

@@ora6925 I think it was Belsak I was thinking of

Luke Skyswagger no, it was the Ukrainian, Novikov

@A.A.Ron Davis - how can it be cheating if the rules don't state it's prohibited? If figure-8 straps are permitted then all lifts using them should count. That's why they're banned from the Arnold Strongman

@Langdon Alger No he didn't. Bergmann copied him and did 9.

@@EVO6- f1 have stopped having pit girls because of cry babys feminists, what these idiots don't realise is these girls want to be there and are being paid well for it 🤦🏻‍♂️

make it so, number one yes, maybe theyre getting paid well, and want to do it. But why choose to have them standing there and just do nothing in the first place?? Doesnt make any sense, in F1 they at least like, danced around with umbrellas and had the team logos on them, here the women could literally just be replaced with sex dolls, and they’d do the job just as well. This is strongman, not a stripclub.

@@EVO6- No it's definitely wokeness. Used to be a time where raw Masculinity and sexy femininity were both celebrated. Men could be proud shirtless beasts, women were shapely supporters. Crime was low during those times, the economy booming, school shootings unheard of. I think the reason these ladies were here was to get back in that old spirit. It does everyone in the sport good.

how did you know the future.

Wow shows how much I like watching strongman because I did not noticed them at all 😂 and I usually would

There were women in the video?

I think there's be a risk of slipping though which is not good lol

Once it got sand all over the bottom it would be impossible to pick up. Your arms would slip off. What a terrible idea.

Bicep tears all over the place

True. They all cheated but that one guy.

You do it then lol

Everyone can do it and its not against the rules. Its the epitome of fair...

@@brokenwave6125 That's like saying everyone glitching in a videogame all the time is fair. It isn't. And even if it is, it ruins the game/competition.

@@redraven123 It's not like saying that at all. This is essentially the same thing as having a big arch while benching in a powerlifting meet. People do basically the same thing in the Deadlift for reps events, as well.. If they don't want people doing it they need to change the rules.

@@redraven123 That's a terrible metaphor. Do you know anything about speedrunning. And its also hilarious that you said "even if it isn't". It just shows that you don't care about the rules or fairness. You only care about what you want. You, a person who isn't even in the competition...

Yeah, there are a lot of hot girls in the world, but for some reason, these were way hotter than you usually us. Something about the bodies were even more perfect than most models.

You guys are weird.

@@uselesssession83 your the weird one here lol

Better than pretty much every ring girl. You can tell they lift

Those girls have bodies that show they hit the gym regularly, that's why.

About that... It is in the rules. Part of a rep is "lift from ground". He didn't lift it from the ground.

Its not Sportsmann Like? Wtf?

@@TheKaneECO the judge didn't disqualify them for sooo...

it’s an event about a bunch of men lifting big ass rocks above their heads, does class matter at that point?
