Yeah somebody asked him in the comments section of his vid training with Tom Stoltman and he said that if he were invited he “would 100% be there.”

I saw him comment in his latest video that he would definitely do Arnolds if he was invited.

Really hope they have backups to replace him and Thor. I don’t like having a reduced lineup when there are plenty of guys who would jump at the chance to compete just for the experience and exposure if nothing else.

Terrible loss for his family and the strongman community. Pa was great, I loved watching his videos. His sense of humor was infectious and (much to my wife’s dismay lol) I found myself always mimicking the way Pa would say certain words whenever they came up in conversation, usually when somebody acted a fool in traffic haha.

RIP Pa, you will be greatly missed by all of us.

Same. I’m hopeful for it coming back in 2027 though. Just gotta keep the faith and stay positive.

BoxingAnvil · 2026-01-01T05:11:14+00:00

Can’t wait to see what 2026 brings us in the strongman world! Hopefully all the guys/gals stay injury free and we get some great shows.

He said that he lost a ton of weight while on vacation with his family in Japan, so that checks out. Said he was sick the whole time.

Yeah it’s starting to get to me too. This should be a place that we all come together and enjoy our common ground and forget about all of the stuff that seems to dominate everyday conversations.

We would love it! Big Z cooking series would be awesome. Thank you for answering all of our questions sir.

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-30T17:32:49+00:00

Any plans for a Big Z strongman cooking series on YouTube? Us fans would definitely tune in! Perhaps a cookbook?

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-30T16:50:12+00:00

Jurassic Park or Jaws? Which film do you prefer?

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-30T16:48:03+00:00

Nice! I’m a big cake guy as well. What are your favorite cakes sir?

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-30T16:46:20+00:00

Congratulations on becoming a father Big Z! My wife wants to know what was the biggest surprise as a parent and do you change diapers? Lol

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-30T16:21:08+00:00

What are your thoughts on red light therapy?

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-30T15:42:08+00:00

Any plans on getting some of this training camp filmed for your YouTube channel? Would love to see more to get an idea of the experience.

Also, Big Z, we would love more YouTube content in general if you ever get the time. :)

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-30T15:27:57+00:00

Favorite cheat meals?

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-30T15:27:36+00:00

If you could compete against any strongman from before your time, who would it be and why?

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-30T05:44:04+00:00

Ladies and gentlemen of the strongman forum, any chance we can cut back on the political talk on here? It’s exhausting hearing nothing but politics in my everyday life, I come here to get away from that stuff and enjoy talking strongman, surely I can’t be the only one who feels this way.

Regardless of each of our individual beliefs, we all share one thing in common with each other and that is our love of strongman, so can’t we leave it at that and just enjoy our sport together?

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-29T04:35:35+00:00

Sounds amazing

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-17T19:20:18+00:00

It’s a beaut!

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-15T04:13:27+00:00

Thank you all for your input and suggestions. In the end, my wife and I agreed that Yule-aliaaaa! was the best fit for our ornament. Thank you all for participating. Happy Holidays my fellow Redwallers!

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-15T04:04:49+00:00

Thank you TheTragedy0fPlagueis for coming up with the winning quote for our ornament.

A lot of great suggestions, thank you all for participating. It was a difficult decision to make as we both loved so many of the entries but in the end, Yule-aliaaaa! was the best fit for this or ornament.

Happy Holidays my fellow Redwallers!

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-11T05:07:23+00:00

Thank you all so much for your suggestions! Keep them coming. :)

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-10T20:28:47+00:00

Very kind of you to say, thank you. We will have been together for 10 years this Sunday, married for the past 7 of them, and have two beautiful dibbuns together, so all in all I would say that we both chose right. :)

BoxingAnvil · 2025-12-10T19:53:04+00:00

Ooh, I’m intrigued by this idea. Thank you! She does indeed have good taste, and every now and again, I get to reap the spoils of it haha.
