The 2015 Arnold Strongman Classic - The Austrian Oak

At 405 lbs., the behemoth Austrian Oak makes even the strongest men in the world struggle under its weight. It was no different this year. For those competitors who can't lift the Oak, they take turns lifting the lighter, 385 lb. "feather log" for reps. A familiar name stood on top of the leader board after the first event of the weekend.

When it comes pressing that log overhead, big Z is in a league of his own!!

[mahdiyassine]

when Eddie Hall and Thor came and failed with the Austrian Oak and you think NO ONE can the comes Big Z and does that shit for reps .

[antoniocenteno]

Audience: Looks like we won´t see the Austrian log lifted this year :(
Z: Fear no more my children

[LouJNT]

22 years old, holy shit this dude is special

[douglasnisbet]

Unbelievable strength from Big Z. He's on another level amongst a group of men who are on another level!

I'd recommend watching the 2017 version too, Zydrunas was way older than everyone and destroyed everyone, really solidifying his dominance in the sport. And he won the Classic in a great comeback, very impressive.

The editing on these videos is superb. Gets me so pumped

[mastertroso]

it seems big Z is from another planet. the worlds strongest human being. he presses that weight with ease. and whats amazing is hes almost 40 yrs old. wow.

[Summz]

Someone needs to make a documentary about his achievements. No one can match big Z

[copyRtest]

Only 60k views? I could've sworn I'd watched this more than that XD

ZYDRUNAS SAVICKAS AKA STRONGEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED

Big Z is amazing! But it's also amazing that out of all these top competitors, 2 of them are from Iceland. Iceland only has a population of around 300, 000. That's a pretty dense pool of talent. Lithuania has around 3 million, USA has over 320 million. Considering the population of Iceland, it's amazing how competitive they are in strength events.

"Many have tried, all have failed. There is only one superman who can do this." Super awesome choice of music btw! Song name?

[taunokekkonen]

You know it's heavy when Big Z uses leg drive!

[nepamirskuzkameskovojomeli]

Oh Big Z, Pride of the Lithuanian Nation!

[prototypev]

Watching the Austrian Oak in 2019 makes you realize Big Z was just a monster at log press

[tassmh]

Mateusz Kieliszkowski is only 22 and he got 6 reps of that
what a fucking absolute monster

[kufijerry]

I can't even imagine what putting 450lbs over your head like that is like or how it feels. Incredible.

[glegg]

Savickas was a Demi God walking amongst mere mortals.

[hassebrasse]

I'm surprised that Hall didn't do better, considering his impressive log pressing of late.
