Nick Best and co-host Angry Dad go live, welcome and thank new community members, and answer questions on stroke prevention basics (diet, exercise, blood pressure, and seeking immediate care) and how backing off training helps long-term performance by avoiding overtraining and serious injury. Guest Big Ronnie joins to promote two Las Vegas strongman contests, including the Las Vegas Strength Olympics this Saturday at UFC Fit Centennial and the Las Vegas Strength Games on November 7, and outlines events such as max deadlift, log clean and press, farmer’s hold, head-to-head yoke carry, and last-man-standing stones over bar, with heavyweight women’s weights discussed. Ronnie shares his background from Algeria to France and moving to Las Vegas, plus recent masters achievements. They discuss competing for experience and technique, Thor’s missed 511kg attempt and recovery needs, and Conor McGregor’s injury and fight-week reactions. <br /><br />Guest Big Ronnie <br />Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/strong.bro.big.ronnie/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/strong.bro.big.ronnie/</a> <br /><br />00:00 Live Show Kickoff<br />00:44 Patreon Members Shoutouts<br />02:46 Today’s Topics Preview<br />03:33 Stroke Prevention Q&A<br />05:48 Training Recovery Advice<br />09:59 Meet Promoter Big Rony<br />10:23 Vegas Strength Olympics Details<br />12:13 Events and Weight Classes<br />14:50 Rony’s Strongman Journey<br />18:49 Rising Stars and Mindset<br />24:18 Elite Mental Resets<br />26:26 Discipline Over Motivation<br />28:17 Compete To Learn<br />29:57 On The Fly Strategy<br />32:51 Warwick Show Challenges<br />35:19 Thor 511 Deadlift<br />39:19 McGregor Injury Talk<br />40:14 AI And Truth Online<br />45:40 UFC Card Reactions<br />48:46 Wrap Up And Plugs <br /><br />Website <a href="https://nickbeststrongman.pplx.app/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://nickbeststrongman.pplx.app/</a> <br /><br />Patreon:<a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/BestStrong" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.patreon.com/c/BestStrong</a> <br /><br />Nick Best <a href="https://lnk.bio/NickBest" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://lnk.bio/NickBest</a> <br /><br />Nick Best Merch https://nickbeststrongman.myshopify.com <br /><br />New Age Performance <a href="https://newageperformance.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://newageperformance.com</a> <br /><br />Invigor Medical (Code NickBest10) <a href="https://influencer.invigormedical.com/nickbeststrongman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://influencer.invigormedical.com/nickbeststrongman</a> <br /><br />U.S LawShield (Code BestNV) <a href="https://lp.uslawshield.com/new-member-sign-up-usls-2022/?promo=gunslingersfl&utm_source=facility%20&utm_medium=qr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://lp.uslawshield.com/new-member-sign-up-usls-2022/?promo=gunslingersfl&utm_source=facility%20&utm_medium=qr</a><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-best-experience--5779077/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-best-experience--5779077/support</a>.

Update: Nick Best’s Emergency Hip Surgery + Strongman Classic 2026 Predictions (Stacked Lineup)
After a two-week break, the hosts welcome new free Patreon members and explain the absence was due to Nick Best’s emergency surgery following an infection in his right hip after successful double hip replacement. Nick details the ongoing drainage, hospital stay, bacteria identification, PICC line placement, and a daily home antibiotic plan through August 4 followed by six months of oral antibiotics; he says the incision is healing well with no drainage and he’s rebuilding mobility, energy, and a long-term return-to-training plan. They then preview the Strongman Classic 2026 happening tomorrow at 9:00 AM Pacific, discuss the loaded athlete field and events (including axle deadlift for reps, Conan’s wheel, press medley, and stones), share strategic factors, and give top-contender predictions featuring Hooper, Reino, Martins, and Evan Singleton, with a recap planned for next Wednesday. <br /><br />00:00 Welcome Back and Patreon Shoutouts<br />01:03 Nick Surgery Update Begins<br />03:35 Infection Treatment and PICC Line<br />05:30 Rehab Mindset and Training Plan<br />08:10 Strongman Classic 2026 Preview<br />11:07 Event Breakdown and Strategy Talk<br />17:57 Predictions and Mental Game<br />22:56 Wrap Up and Next Episode <br /><br />Website <a href="https://nickbeststrongman.pplx.app/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://nickbeststrongman.pplx.app/</a> <br /><br />Patreon:<a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/BestStrong" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.patreon.com/c/BestStrong</a> <br /><br />Nick Best <a href="https://lnk.bio/NickBest" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://lnk.bio/NickBest</a> <br /><br />Nick Best Merch https://nickbeststrongman.myshopify.com <br /><br />New Age Performance <a href="https://newageperformance.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://newageperformance.com</a> <br /><br />Invigor Medical (Code NickBest10) <a href="https://influencer.invigormedical.com/nickbeststrongman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://influencer.invigormedical.com/nickbeststrongman</a> <br /><br />U.S LawShield (Code BestNV) <a href="https://lp.uslawshield.com/new-member-sign-up-usls-2022/?promo=gunslingersfl&utm_source=facility%20&utm_medium=qr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://lp.uslawshield.com/new-member-sign-up-usls-2022/?promo=gunslingersfl&utm_source=facility%20&utm_medium=qr</a><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-best-experience--5779077/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-best-experience--5779077/support</a>.
