Just saw this really cool video featuring Randy 'Nanonoko' Lew, The Mountain from Game of Thrones and LuckyChewy. I think the film was directed by one of the producers from the show too. Very cool. I don't think it's to be taken too seriously, but let me know what you guys think.

Chewy's beard is the dirty hipster look taken to extremes.
Grab a shave.

He's one of the best Strongman competitors on the planet, which is not necessarily exactly the same thing, it depends on how you define 'strong'. Powerlifting, strongman and Olympic lifting are all strength sports and it's fairly academic as to which top competitor is the strongest.

But yeah, he's a total, world class beast.

The Mountain had Kings in his hand in the clip. True to form. Great stuff!

Thanks guys for all of the comments! Always love reading them. Hope you guys enjoyed it and of course it's not suppose to be taking seriously! hahha. It really was an epic trip being on set as well as the means to get to the icecave through the glacier. Literally 0 paved roads and a surreal experience. If anyone has any comments, I'll try to answer!

I think there's a case for powerlifting to be called strength lifting and Olympic lifting to be called power lifting. There's power in powerlifting though, training involves making the lifts explosive, obviously not to the same extent as Olympic lifting.

Safe to say that no-one gets to the highest echelon of any strength sport without excellent pharmaceutical connections.

I gave it a dislike to be honest. The poker hands were corny in the first couple of minutes in the video. The part that killed it for me was when lucky chewy had a set with 66 and they called it a pair of 66. That scene right there was the reason I gave the dislike it was inaccurate and a poor effort.

Quite a few cold decks though.

Yeah the poker hands may be a little bit corny but we did want to try to appeal to a wider audience outside of the most hardcore poker fans out there as we feel we shouldn't make people feel singled out when watching it if they are new to poker. We were also on a very strict timeline so shot all of this in 1 day w/out a real script. Commenting was done quickly due to scheduling so had to go w/ it. Good news like I said is that it shouldn't be taking too seriously. Maybe this article the producer (Peter) and I can help give you some better insight with pokernews?
