[Music] [Music] down [Music] all right what’s going on you guys Nick here with Nick strength and power I’ve got a couple of interesting stories for you guys today the first story we’re going to talk about today is the World’s Strongest Man so if you don’t like spoilers uh look away or skip this part of the video but the World’s Strongest Man was this weekend kind of interesting here um so I’m going to go over the results that’s why I said spoiler alert I know some people want to watch it before they know the results and that’s kind of one of the things that I want to talk about in this video is I’ve seen a lot of comments about the World’s Strongest Man and how people are very displeased that there’s not a live stream there’s not a whole lot of promotion and people have to wait basically half a year to actually watch it on TV um so Tom stolman won the 2024 World’s Strongest Man Mitchell Hooper ended up in second place and Evan Singleton wound up in third so like I said if you look at the comments just on this post here from World’s Strongest Man you can see a lot of people saying the same thing the event needs to be more accessible there needs to be a live stream we only got the results by watching Eddie Hall’s YouTube channel and it goes on and on I’ve seen a lot of these comments and I really couldn’t agree more it seems like such an outdated model for the biggest event in a sport like strongman being the world’s strongest man competition to not have a live dream to be able to view it the only way to if you wanted to watch this you’d have to go in person and watch it and even then it’s very tough to watch the whole thing because there’s so many different Heats so many different events multiple day uh show and I think if anything that’s an even stronger argument to have a live stream for it so people have it more accessible to watch at home not as not everybody can go you know travel for a couple days to watch it and I’ll be honest and even though I don’t really follow strong men as closely as I follow body building I didn’t even realize the World’s Strongest Man was going on this weekend until halfway through yesterday where I started to see posts about it on Instagram so I kind of agree with these comments that peripherally people that are kind of peripherally interested in strong men and maybe don’t follow it super close I didn’t feel like there was a lot of promotion of this World’s Strongest Man being this weekend and I think that I’m pretty sure the person that I saw post about it first was Flex Lewis a bodybuilder and that’s how I heard about about it and before I made this video I was going through Instagram trying to find clips and videos and watch as much of the show as I possibly could before I talked about it and it is really like it does seem very primitive that to watch the world’s strongest man you’ve just got to look through a bunch of Instagram reels and try to piece the thing together to watch as much of it as you can it is kind of it seems outdated not to mention I can’t even put a clip in this video because World’s Strongest Man is notorious for taking down people that use clips from the competition because of the fact that they have the TV deal that they do where the show is broadcast you know months after it actually happens so I do I do agree with strongman fans this seems to really be something that’s plaguing I think the growth of the sport of strongman the fact that it’s not accessible and the fact that you can’t watch it live the fact that you got this delayed broadcast of it the fact that you can only see it if you go in person and you’re able to stay for multiple days to watch the whole thing the fact that they don’t really freely allow the sharing of clips of the show impacts kind of the social media presence of it because I you know I follow all this I follow all these guys I follow all this stuff you know peripheral to strongman bodybuilding Fitness stuff and I like I said I only realized it was going on halfway through towards the end of the day yesterday because the promotion and the social media presence of it has been so small but let me know what you guys think in the comments below about the 2024 world strongest man again Tom stman is your 2024 world Strongest Man Champion now next up in the news a lot of the bodybuilding industry is talking about this guest posing from Wesley vissers from this weekend Wesley looks massive in this guest posing significantly bigger than he does on stage now Wesley is already one of the biggest guys in classic physique and I don’t just mean one of the tallest guys but it just so happens that in classic physique the taller guys tend to be the biggest and I think that’s you know case in point with Chris Bumstead so his competition weight the weight limit for Wesley when he competes in classic physique he’s 6’2 so the weight limit up to in including 6’2 is 242 lb or 1098 kilos so in competition shape which is clearly significantly small ER and less full than he is here 242 lb to me in this video he looks 15 to 20 lbs bigger than that but he’s still shredded I mean look at the Deep striations in his chest and his shoulders the vascular I mean he’s still ripped but much bigger much Fuller and it kind of makes you wonder how much does classic physique limit Wesley’s potential and improving some of the points of his physique I I got to admit he’s done a really good job of improving his lower body that was something people criticize for a long time um I know a lot of people say he doesn’t have the best taper with his waist he’s got kind of a wide waist obviously you know not a gut or anything like that but just his hip structure is kind of wide towards the bottom compared to a guy like Chris or a guy like Ramone so when you see him here and again what I think is 15 to 20 pounds heavier probably close to 260 lbs if not more than that and he still looks shredded and he’s in the offseason he’s already qualified for the Olympia he won two back-to-back Arnold Classics he doesn’t have to compete again he looks phenomenal here and it begs the question not only is the classic physique weight limit restricting Wesley but also what we just talked about with ERS Kinski Wesley visser’s in open bodybuilding could it happen could he do even better in open bodybuilding than he did in classic physique because clearly for a long time I felt like Wesley had a great classic physique he was always almost always ripped really good shape sometimes flatter sometimes Fuller improve the lower body to where it needed to be and it seemed like for a while the judges just didn’t like his physique and only just now is he really getting rewarded winning shows like the Arnold Classic and I’ll be honest with you guys I have heard Rumblings behind the scenes that there has been discussion about Wesley moving to open especially after the Olympia this year and I’m going to I’m also going to assume that depends on his placing at the Olympia I think that also depends on whether or not Chris Bumstead retires after this Olympia or even if Chris does this Olympia I think he will personally I think this will be Chris’s last Olympia I know there’s been a lot of talk about his mental health he had a really rough time with his last prep he thought about retirement these kind of cryptic social media posts but I I I feel like now that Chris his daughter is born I feel like he wants to retire I think he’s kind of made that clear but I think he wants to retire on the Olympia stage after a victory and then bring his daughter on stage I really feel like this will be Chris’s last year so if you do have a scenario where Wesley vissers takes second to Chris Bumstead and then Chris retires I think Wesley would be a fool not to do the next year’s Olympia then because he’s next in line for the title and really on paper he’s beaten everyone else that should beat him at the Olympia so he is on paper the favorite for number two but I say all that to say this is a really impressive look for Wesley because I would bet you guys he’s around 260 lbs in this video so the point is he’s not a small guy he is a big dude and he’s still ripped at a significantly bigger version of his physique than he was on stage like in competitive stage so I’ve got to be honest when we talk about a lot of these guys in classic potentially going to open I look at Wesley here and I really truly see that possibility but let me know what you guys think in the comments down below now speaking of classic physique we got an update from a guy that we haven’t seen in a while Logan Franklin coming from his coach Patrick tour another one of the taller classic physique guys that people make an argument for potentially being you know one of the top guys at the Olympia especially now that we’re kind of in this space when we kind of contemplate the exit of Chris Bumstead and I got to be honest with you guys I’m extremely excited to see what Logan’s plans are for this year as far as getting to the Olympia qualifying to because to be honest with you guys Logan is one of my favorite classic physique competitors physique wise he’s a really good poser I really enjoy watching him compete because of the posing but he’s got a really good physique that goes well with that and I think that Logan even though he’s not necessarily been a guy that’s challenging the top three at the classic physique Olympia he’s one of my favorite guys and we’ve seen a lot of guys lately that have taken time off and that time off did their physiques very well and I think we might see that with Logan and honestly in this video he looks like he’s getting ready to compete it doesn’t say what show he’s doing here but he looks like he’s in relatively good condition so maybe we’ll be seeing him on stage sooner rather than later now next up in the news if you’re looking forward to the upcoming Pittsburgh Pro which is this coming weekend the big guest posing where you’re going to see Hunter Labrada Samson daa Big Romy Derek Lunsford Nick Walker and Andrew Jack they’ve now added three more guys including Ur who we already knew they added but Muhammad Shaban ERS Kinski and Martin Fitzwater who just won the Detroit Pro still unsure uh with Chris Chris Bumstead will be there but it’s a special appearance he’s probably not going to actually participate in the guest posing I am curious to see if Ramy actually shows up we haven’t really seen much from Ramy except for throwback pictures and videos and he’s this is something that he skipped in the past so we’ll see so we will get a preview of both Martin and Nick just one week out from the New York Pro and we’re going to get to see them next to each other presumably on the same stage so if you’re a big bodybuilding fan you’re not going to want to miss the Pittsburgh Pro guest posing Saturday May 11th and that’s going to wrap it up for the video guys I hope you enjoyed it just kind of a quick one today um and as always like the video subscribe all that good stuff leave a comment down below and as
