"I will be world's strongest man one day. I will win it for America. I'll keep coming back, I'll keep winning." That by Pfister is one of the most legendary quotes in strongman, up there with "There is no reason to be alive if you can't do deadlift".

MITCHELL HOOPER, PLEASE READ THIS: Can you do reaction videos to impressive strength athletes? I think those would give you alot of views. I got a couple suggestions: TOM HAVILAND 6ft8(204cm) and 160kg/350 pounds bodyweight. 450kg deadlift(or so) 300kg raw bench press w/stop 370kg Zercher Squat (320kg for reps with stopp) and tons of unorthodox insane movements, can also jump higher than a nba player it seems. ANDREY SMAEV: around 6ft1, 265 pounds. Pullups: Bodyweight + 160kg for max rep Bench press: 280kg And tons of insane calisthenics strength moves, aswell as some arm wrestling. Video: Add in video of them doing the lifts while you react during and after. Maybe give ur thoughts for what sport they would excell at, and which sport you would like to see them try. Id love to see Tom at strongman and Andrey Smaev at arm wrestling or pull-press meet.

(Yes mate, I'm weak compared to you, but strong compared to me of the past and that's what its about) I always enjoy the insights in your videos and the attitude you bring to life in general, who knows what the next chapters will be for you but it approached with the same focus, dedication and moral compass, I can only imagine success in whatever you choose to apply yourself to

@@adamcathcart8519 its just fun to see crossover in strength sports. Besides it sounds like he just wants to try to set some records. The interesting part is comparing those records and his performance in those lifts as the best bencher of all time to current and previous strongmen. You can compete in powerlifting as just a squatter and still get the prestige. No reason to not think the same of Julius if he manages to mog some of these strongman lifts.
