  Power Strength Week and man, he's seeing records and he's getting to do just
• 1:26
  a buttload of fun stuff. It looks like, Yeah, it's pretty amazing
• 1:32
  here. I'd like to thank you Keen Higgle for having me come out here
• 1:34
  to a fee for Power Week. It's absolutely amazing because we have strongman contests,
• 1:40
  men and women, highland games. We've had Denny Stone practice and stuff
• 1:46
  like that. So we had classes on that. There's classes, there's seminars.
• 1:51
  There was a mental health and competition like Mental Approach seminar yesterday. Ed
• 1:57
  Cohen and I are doing a seminars today. Uh. It's just a freaking
• 2:02
  neat thing out here all week long. Um, there's gonna be stone lifting
• 2:07
  all week and then probably the highlight for me was watching James Spurgess uh break
• 2:14
  the world record in the disabled stone lift. He loaded a four hundred or
• 2:17
  it's one hundred and eighty three kilo, which is like four hundred and four
• 2:23
  hundred and three pound Atlas stone to you know, to the platform yesterday,
• 2:29
  breaking the world record by ninety three kilos. So he doubled the world record
• 2:34
  yesterday. Yeah, it's just amazing. Yeah, that's insane with one arm,
• 2:39
  with one arm, yeah, and it's inspirational. This place is beautiful.
• 2:46
  It's it's Norway. I mean, what more could you want? I
• 2:50
  miss I miss home in the fourth of July and I'd love y'all miss all
• 2:54
  and happy fourth of July. Um, and I'm going to be celebrating as
• 2:59
  well today. But it's just a freaking neat place. To come and do
• 3:04
  things. It really is and the travel. It took a little while to
• 3:08
  get here, but it was worth it. I mean it really was.
• 3:12
  I can't wait to do this again next here. Well that's the thing too,
• 3:15
  is like you're giving back to the sport. But the thing is is
• 3:19
  you're using your platform to spread what strong man is and just give people like
• 3:27
  an idea of what you're actually doing there. You know what I'm then,
• 3:30
  Well, for me, I'm judging coaching, you know, talking with people,
• 3:37
  and I mean alls we do is talk about strength sports all day.
• 3:39
  So it's pretty cool. I mean you're walking in and people walk up and
• 3:45
  here's at nine and discussion and people jump in and we're having a roundtable discussions
• 3:50
  on you know, our lifting philosophies and what we think works and what we
• 3:53
  think what we've tried, what doesn't work, techniques, stuff like that.
• 3:59
  So it's really neat. I mean it really is. I mean today we're
• 4:02
  having a strength panel as well, where there's a group of us getter get
• 4:06
  together and talk about strength. So ed Coming will be in on it.
• 4:13
  Um uh, Francis Bredner will be in on it. So we're it's gonna
• 4:17
  be pretty neat. So it's just fun and everybody comes in, they all
• 4:23
  sit in the room and we all start talking and there's probably fifty sixty people
• 4:27
  here, so it's it's pretty neat. It's it's truly an amazing thing to
• 4:30
  come and do. I wish you guys could all be here. I will
• 4:34
  record some of the things and we'll put a YouTube together video as a recap
• 4:39
  of the visit up here. It is absolutely just beautiful. It's I mean,
• 4:46
  it's so inspirational. We'll be here, it really is. That's it.
• 4:49
  And you know that's the thing too, is like being over there because
• 4:54
  Norway's in the UK right or part of the No no, okayeta, god
• 4:59
  no, I had no aspect on what but I know a lot of the
• 5:02
  countries are close to each other, so you probably you probably got a lot
• 5:05
  of it's it's a it's across the channel but from England and it's Norway.
• 5:15
  It's Norway, Sweden and Finland that are like across on that peninsula um that
• 5:21
  attached to Russia. So it's it's real close to like Copenhing. It's a
• 5:27
  little flight stuff like that over into Europe. It's so it's you're about it's
• 5:31
  close to everything as you could be here. Okay, yeah, so you
• 5:34
  got another Like you said, you guys had a nice turnout for everyone there.
• 5:38
  Everyone's showing up to compete and to do all these things. Yeah,
• 5:42
  that's one of things. And the sun doesn't go all the way down either,
• 5:45
  and you know, even we're so far north, the sun doesn't doesn't
• 5:48
  completely go down. So it's really cool. That's crazy because yeah, we
• 5:51
  were talking earlier, and when I mean earlier, we're talking about maybe eight
• 5:56
  nine hours earlier, and it was just right, exactly exactly, you know
• 6:00
  what I mean. It's just like, I don't know if I could last
• 6:04
  like that for very long, my body would just be all confused. Yeah,
• 6:11
  but it's not too bad. I mean you just kind of keeping on
• 6:15
  the clock and start feeling a little tired, and you looked at the clock
• 6:17
  and it's like, oh, it's ten o'clock at night. I better go
• 6:20
  lay down. So you go up and lay down. It's it's not bad.
• 6:25
  I mean, it's great. It's fun. So it's it's pretty neat.
• 6:28
  And the best part is you can go out and go down to the
• 6:30
  lake. You can take your eyes back down on the lake. It's nice
• 6:32
  and cool, it feels great. Um, So we've been going down and
• 6:36
  going swimming and just I can't say how much fun this has been. It's
• 6:41
  just been a blast, it really had. That's it. With all the
• 6:44
  events going on, what's the what's the biggest event that you've seen so far?
• 6:50
  Well, the most amazing thing was seeing the disabled world record on the
• 6:55
  Atlas stone load. I mean one hundred and eighty three kilos yeah, with
• 6:58
  one arm is it's pretty amazing. So that was probably the highlight for me.
• 7:02
  But I mean the competition, the power stairs, just all the wood
• 7:06
  stuff and the hercules hold out here is it looks absolutely badass and it's pretty
• 7:12
  neat. I'm probably gonna mess around with that thing probably tomorrow, just mess
• 7:16
  around with it a couple of times and then take a good run at it.
• 7:18
  And it's because it's these two gigantic wood pillars and like all a lot
• 7:24
  of the stuff and the implements out here made out of wood, so it's
• 7:27
  it's pretty neat. They have the orange strolls and log that thor that Hotdor
• 7:31
  gave out here, So I might mess around that next year. I'm i
• 7:36
  gonna mess around with it this year, but I might mess around with that
• 7:40
  next year as well. Yeah, it's just it's so cool. There's so
• 7:45
  much history out here, there's so much tradition out here. It's just truly
• 7:48
  a neat place to go. If you I'm going to tell you, if
• 7:51
  you have the chance to do this, it's worth saving up and coming to
• 7:55
  do because it's really special. There we go, there we go, Like
• 7:59
  say, that is just one of those ones in lifetime things that you know,
• 8:01
  when it happens, you got to jump on it when you can.
• 8:03
  And that's one of those things. Who is like a lot of people need
• 8:07
  to remember, you know, and you said it numerous times, is like
• 8:11
  when you're competing and you're doing what you love, it will take you everywhere
• 8:13
  and you literally, you know what I'm saying, hit every state, hit
• 8:18
  every continent, and you know what I'm saying, And your presence has been
• 8:22
  blessed everywhere there. Well, I've been very blessed. And I could also
• 8:28
  say this. The food here is off the hook. I mean, it's
• 8:31
  it's just absolutely incredible. I've been to ten World Strongest Mans, and none
• 8:37
  of them compared to the food that's Harry on the next one there. Yeah,
• 8:43
  but it's I think they should do it here. To be quite honest
• 8:46
  with you, it's it's pretty sweet. This is an amazing gig. I
• 8:52
  really do think they, the promoters of that, should look at this place.
• 8:56
  Yeah, I mean it has literally everything that they need here. Well.
• 9:00
  And then that's one of those things too, is like, you know,
• 9:03
  we're throwing it out in the ether, and if it happens to show
• 9:05
  up there, you know, look like a little credit. I don't even
• 9:11
  need the credit. I'd just like to see it happen. So it's pretty
• 9:13
  neat. No or a commentary commentary spot or well, yeah, that commentary
• 9:24
  spot would be good, so definitely. Yeah, but it's it's so neat,
• 9:31
  I mean, just to feeling the vibe that everything that's up here.
• 9:35
  It's yeah, sitting around and we did Viking games last night, and then
• 9:39
  they have a little dance ball here and they do the Viking games in there,
• 9:41
  and they'd like do rope fighting and stuff like that in there. Everybody
• 9:46
  grabs a piece of this and they try to pull towards corners and grab a
• 9:50
  stick that's on the ground. And then there's another one where you put your
• 9:54
  hand which it's supposed to be a treasure chest. It's an autumn and they
• 9:56
  put a blindfold and you have a pillow, so it's like a one armed
• 10:01
  pillow fight with your I'm gonna You're like, you know, Ben, and
• 10:05
  You're like, yeah, do you want to get hit? Do you want
• 10:07
  to get set? Yeah? Are you sure? Yeah? And then you
• 10:13
  swing with your pillow Adam, and it is. It's one of the most
• 10:18
  fun things I've got to do. It's like a party game and there's like
• 10:22
  fifty people in the room and we're all just laughing. I mean, I
• 10:26
  got a great at work, and my cheekbones are still sort of this morning
• 10:28
  from last yesterday. So, like I said, I can't tell you guys
• 10:33
  enough about the feedfa power. You guys got to come up here and experiences.
• 10:37
  There's this is a yearly event, right, Yeah, he can't ankle

• 10:46
  it up. Put it on your put it on your list. You know
• 10:48
  what I'm saying makes you get hit out there? And uh, I said,
• 10:52

• 10:54
  him over, I'm gonna I'm gonna put him out as soon as I possibly
• 10:58
