In episode 7 of the series, we visit bodybuilder Ott Kiivikas in South Estonia, specifically in the town of Võru and at Gorsa Gym. For safety’s sake, the handcuffs are set aside this time, because to the average person, strongmen lift enormous weights.

One of Estonia’s “smallest” yet strongest strongmen in terms of strength, Gert Goršanov, talks about his training and what goes on in the world of strongmen.

The conversation covers training methodology and nutrition, as well as the dangers that can arise when safety rules are cast aside. It should be said that the video was filmed just before the Latvian Grand Prix, where Gert badly injured his leg.

Enjoy watching!
