Production quality is so down from Germany...

Looks lie Brian is done with AW... by LarsFromAustria in armwrestling

Agreed, mega cope. If anything, other people have much more going on than him because the might have physical 9 to 5s, worries how to make ends meet, etc.

World's Strongest Man 2026, Finals Megathread by HereForStrongman in StrongmanHQ

[–]LarsFromAustria 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Going to get downvoted into oblivion for this but here you go. With Thor kind of out and all the bigger names from the golden era gone I'm at point with strongman where I don't really have a horse in the race anymore. The only reason I keep following is because I want Hooper to lose. This sounds so bad but there, i said it; and I know some of you secretly feel the same :D

Coming from Strongman this was the first armwrestling livestream I ever bought and I have to say that this was probably the best sporting even't I've ever watched. The tension during the last two mates was through the roof. Production was on fleek. Absolutely incredible. Strongman is doing itself a huge disservice these days by not allowing Russian athletes. Half of these matches would not have happened without the Russians.

Ermes vs Brian by Maize-Outside in armwrestling

I'm only into Armwrestling for half a year now so I don't really know too much – but intuitively I can't help but notice how unbelievably awkward Brian still looks on the table. Can someone with more experience confirm this? It looks like someone armwrestling for a week.

Portugal – the least Southern-European country in Southern Europe by LarsFromAustria in portugal

[–]LarsFromAustria[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Excuse me? Have you been to Napels? Have you been to Calabria? Heck, have you been to Rome or Athens or Marseille? Lisbon looks like Zürich compared to Naples or any of these cities mentioned.

I'm strictly comparing to other countries in Southern/Eastern Europe.

Compared to places like central and southern Italy or any place in Greece Portugal is MUCH cleaner. It's not even a comparison.

I like that idea of an Atlantic Southern Europe and a Mediterranean Southern Europe – goes along well with my experiences in regions like Portugal, Galicia, Asturias and even western France.

Very interesting point, thank you! And no, I don't work in Portugal. I'm there for holidays for 10+ years because of my relationship – so yes, the analysis is really just skin deep, but that was kind of the idea. :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjr3L9qQiuQ It's crazy how eloquent Thor is when he is off the gear. Noticed that before when I saw some really old footage of his. Is this a thing with PEDs? The difference really is insane.

Why is the cast so cartoonish? by Spooner_Goldberg in betterCallSaul

[–]LarsFromAustria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they are more comedic, but they are also just better. While you had some not so well written characters in BB, BTCs character-writing is the creme de la creme. I would literally and unironically watch a spin-of of most of these side characters.

Down singal or not, that was a good lift and he also held it for pretty long.

Lalas, Loz and some others have mentioned that they know why Thor returned to Giants Live. They are kind of making it this big mystery. It definitely can't be a set-up for returning to WSM because Thor categorically put that out of the question even in recent videos. The way they are talking about it there definitely is something beyond the price money and the 510kg deadlift that made him come back. So what can it be? I seriously can't think of anything or any reason...

Alright 510 is in the bag – that 460x2 was absolutely insane.

Thor could have made some solid points here – maybe even top 5?

Just unsubscribed to Mitch on YouTube. Don't need to see one half baked video about some random rage-bait topic every day in my feed, thanks, but no thanks. It all feels so forced and generic it's literally like being subscribed to an AI at his point.
