Strongman Zydrunas Savickas lifts 1016 pounds

[MatejaBrevic]

Wow, it looks like he could have lifted a bit more than that as well

[aneeqster5]

Goku could do that with 1 finger

[DNR1590]

This man is a legend. Look at this to comparison: /watch?v=qRo_8NjWoh4. This was only 800 lbs and he was sweating his shit off, and look at his muscle armor. It doesn't matter what kind of muscle you have. Understand it finally. It is about how you do it.

[cosmek714]

Fatboy

[HappyBrafday]

wat a fatty

[mikethevegetable]

@HappyBrafday Lol, he could throw you across a football field for that comment.

[mihailolord]

fat bastard

[TheOriginal2008]

Pusssssssy

[Sta6kA]

i dont know Zydrunas Savickas personaly but hes from my country and he attended in many tv shows ect.. and from what i saw and still see today hes a very kind person... hes worth everything he achieve and even more

[gilfoth]

i can dead lift 600lbs but 1000 thats just nuts!

[sebwingfield]

The Arnold Classic winner gets $150K. WSM winner gets only $75K. Savickas is undefeated in Arnold Classic, winning 6 in a row; beating Svend Karlsen twice; beating Pudzian who took 3rd in 06. Savickas is also taller than P, thus Savickas is moving the wt a longer distance (requiring more strength). Note, Franco Columbo deadlifted 750 but weighed only 185 (he only had to move the wt a tiny dist bc he was just 5'5'' tall). Savickas is the strongest ever. Pudzia followers are in denial.

[desembodic]

lol being taller helps you a shitload in strongman, why do you think most of them are tall?

[fitzyking1]

Yeah in strongman in general but with the dead lift you look most of the best deadlifters are short men.

[kerrbear160387]

just moving that weight is pretty tough thow you gotta admit, im a tall guy myself and deading is my weakst lift. i really need to work on it more as i sometimes get bummed out about it and dont put my all into the next few deads

[55AllOut]

@sebwingfield wrong, poundstone won this year :D big Z was hurt though, which is too bad. I'm a huge big Z fan

[Maddolis]

@55AllOut You're right but seb wasn't wrong, his statement was made 10 months ago ;)

[55AllOut]

@Maddolis Oh i see, my mistake

[VampireIchiho]

@55AllOut skinny dickhead redneck son of a bitch

[Scalleta]

5pid3y americans is even not a country because in america lives africa people , chinese people europeans people there arre none americans just all f****** world. You proud to be american ?

[blackwulf30]

Hey bitchfuck don't talk shit about Lithuanians! You're pathetic for your ignorance! I do have to say you did accomplish posting a bullshit remark towards our people. Seems to me like you're all talk. Now that's pathetic!

[worras2007]

Hei people, why you don't shut your fucks up? I am Lithuanian and I like Savickas more. You are Polish and it is normal thank Pudzinowsky is your favourite (not Savickas). So where is the problem? BOTH of them are good, both of them are very strong. Maybe Savickas is better in brutal massive strength, Pudzinowsky is better in endurance. OK, there peopole are really good and both are cool. So, why you shit on each other's head telling "this one is shit, this one is better"? You look like idiots.

[arwydas007]

i am from lithuanian too. i like savickas too we all like him. yuo people shut up and full out the shits on savickas. savickas is number 1 if yuo see. shut up and dont do it hard way take it easy and then yuo can talk like a normal people not like idiots.

[Uniflux]

That's why Pudzinowsky wins and dont even compare the 2 men when it comes to powerlifting. Pudzinowsky woundn't even rank in the top 100 powerlifters.

[strongsick280]

I dont know i read in a flex magazine cant find it but his records for raw lifts where 927 dead lift cant remember the squat it was around 800 to 850 i think i cant remember i just remember there was an 8 before the other two numbers and the bench was 616 and behind the neck jerk 550 i think so i think he would be ranked in the top 10 if this was true

[rctriplefresh5]

raw bench is 715/

[yamanmustafa]

Don't forget, he's using straps and the bar starts from just below the kneecap, whereas with 20kg plates the bar is maybe just under mid-shin level.

[Uniflux]

In repesonce to arid2, your right Mariusz Pudzinowsky is in better shape then Savickas but the Worlds Strongest Man and other such events are about strength and not fitness.

Strongman even have moved towards cardiovascular fitness and endurance in last 5 Years. Were as in the 80 and 90's Strongman events were basically powerlighting competitions.

[discouniverse]

both men are very strong and it is difficult to decide which one is stronger...moreover Pudinauskas or Pudzinauskas is Lithuanian family name (pudas is a wheight measure in ancient Lithuania) and knowing the fact that poland has occupied nearly 130 000km2 of ethnic Lithuanian lands with there living Lithuanians says a lot

[Vintage9182]

savickas is the strongest there is, but before you all have a go at me, if Z was to return to WSM from the IFSA, more than likely mariusz would still come out on top because of the variety of events. Mariusz can put his hand to any sort of discipline, so where savickas would eat him alive in the dead lift, squat, overhead presses, he loses too much in the mobility events ( farmers walk etc)

[arciusx]

1.Žydrūnas Savickas (Lithuania) 2.Mark Henry (USA) 3.Bill Kazmaier (USA) 4.Vasyl Virastiuk (Ukraina) 5.Louis Uni(France)ir Louis Cyr( Canada) 6.Brian Siders (USA) 7.Andy Bolton (UK) 8.Leonid Taranenko (Russia) 9.Paul Anderson(USA) 10.Ronie Coleman (USA) FLEX WHERE IS PUDZINOWSKY ? ;-)) SAVICKAS THE BEST !!!

[BuffMcGruff1]

yea and where the fuck is Jon Pall Sigmarsson that is a terrible list

[rantanen1]

that list sucks ass.... the fact that u added a bodybuilder and no jon pall sigmarsson is just ... ridiculous

and why do u add STRONGMEN, POWERLIFTERS AND OLYMPIC LIFTERS? retard..

[Accountgm]

1. Maruisz

2. Jon Paul

3. Žydrūnas Savickas

4, Bill kazmaier

5. Poundstone

6. Arnie Mark Hendry is nothing. Seriously nothing at all

All Respect for Žydrūnas Savickas tbh but im a mariuz man, Also I take it ur from usa?

[lakerzfan007]

Except in real sports like football, basketball, and baseball.

[BillTheButcher13]

dont think id compare a guy lifting 1000 lbs to guy putting a ball in a hoop lol different worlds different level. We got boxing and mma in the bag atm as well but everything changes .

[rantanen1]

so.. throwing a ball around is more of a sport to you than lifting weights?

[lakerzfan007]

well football isn't just about throwing a ball around, it is very physical

[revolt13]

Football is more of a sport than football. But i prefer lifting weights. Then using my progress on the field.

[m1kasd]

Real football is more of a sport than soccer(football)

[rschloe0]

yes...running, jumping, catching, blocking, tackling, throwing are all things that require great skill...i would like to see people who start off as powerlifters try to play sports, whereas athletes powerlift as part of a routine to prepare for a sport-as well as intense cardio, etc

[xxWarMonger2xx]

i can do tht.

[00Dann99]

you made me laugh

[arild2]

savikas is the strongest for sure but he doesnt fit that good for the diferent events like mariusz but still wery good.mariusz just got a soo efektive body like no one else

[worras2007]

Big Z is still going to the peak - he started his real career not long ago (where Pudz is "older" in these sports and he already won a lot when Z was not yet known). Z said he wants now to gain more weight, he trains very hard, and in a couple of years there will be no one equal to him. Maybe Pudz is really very impressive in endurance, but this is strongman things, and Z will be the king of that for long beating all records possible.

[Ludichris8531]

I agree, and it also depends on which strongman contest they're competing in as the events are not all exactly the same. Savickas a major part of the future of strongman though, you're absolutely right.

[worras2007]

I fully agree with "jwietzeljr" - both Pudz and Big Z are super, both are the best athletes. And I would like to add that tt is normal that me, being Lithuanian, and from the hometown of Big Z, will like him more. And that Poles will like Pudz more. But there is no reason to say Pudz is the best and Big Z is shit.

[Mattesor]

yea i agree me coming from kaunas lithuanians will like z better than mariez or w/e yu spell it

[worras2007]

Stop all that shit with steroids. If you think you can use steroids for deadlift of 1000 lb, so use it and prove it to us. You won't lift even 1/3rd of it because you are simply a jelaous chicken. OK that Polish man is also really strong. But why the Poles always say "Savickas uses drugs" or "Pudzianowski is better" as soon as they see Savickas? They both are good and very strong. But if they compete with each other, Savickas will win. Because he is stronger whether you like it or not.

[HellmasterLT]

We have best disc thrower in world too.. Its Alekna :)

[HellmasterLT]

Arteenooo how they can be stronger if Zydrunas Savickas is strongest in world? Yeah.. To be lithuanian is cool :)

[5pid3y]

i'm guessing you're lithuanian

[HellmasterLT]

And your right =D

[galdornas]

Proud to be lithuanian

[tattoomastering]

The one and only.. respect for him. Lietuvis gimęs turi turėt jėgų :) UŽ LIETUVA!!

[pismantas]

Happily, Zydrunas Savickas is the strogest men on earth at this moment. GO LT!!!

[VytautasViduto]

Heh, proud to be lithuanian :D

[5pid3y]

why are you proud to be lithuanian? you've accomplished nothing compared to this guy who just happens to have been born in the same country as you? pathetic.

[VytautasViduto]

How can you say, that i didn't accomplished nothing, when you don't know nothing about me?

[MagDonoInc]

Then why the f*** americans are so proud of their country, their proud of freedom ,Washington, their sportmans, rednecks etc?. you mean, if it's not you, you can't be proud? Then we can't be proud of being citizens or our own country - we didn't selected to be citizens of our country - our parents did, not us.

[55AllOut]

@MagDonoInc Because I'm american... I would be proud of wherever i was from

[wilwn]

man, that sucker flew up too

[YAMAZAK1]

abomai.... How much is his weight?

[byku212121]

something about 362lbs

[galdornas]

160KG

[LesPaulEMG81]

On the internet it says he is 350 but he has to be 400 pounds with arms and a gut like that.

[yoyoyo34]

Can mark herny do this?

[extremduke]

not.

[NSGPedia]

Not a chance..

[MouMuT]

yes all lithuanians are strong :D its in blood

[Nekaros]

I am a Lithuanian. Zydrunas the strongest man

[Arteenooo]

haha yes but Polish people are stronger ;)

[gabrius99]

heh... he's lithuanian... like me... :)

[MlHAlLlAHlM]

he makes that look like a freakin pencil he's lifting o_o

[extremduke]

this man is the POWER itself.

[90mv]

whoah...i swear on another vid it says 994 not 1016!?

[Whateversteph]

The 994 lb deadlift is from the 2006 Arnold, the 1016 is from the 2007 Arnold.

[90mv]

oh i seeeee

[warranty55]

This is pure power ! Congrats to Zydrunas !

[BigGuns999]

savickas needs to complete in the Worlds!

[whispurwind]

He would get caught for using steroids.

[rjpe99]

He has won worlds for the last few years - not WSM but IFSA and he beat Pudz last time he competed in WSM 2004.

[BigAngeloSantorini]

He is getting stronger every year

[Flamius]

I'm proud that I'm lithuanian

[vvheee]

Lithuanian giant

[Syntorz]

how...?!?! thats freaking half of a ton!!

[xiilt]

Daaaamnnn....Wow

[worras2007]

> ScrewyLouie666

I know Savickas in person. He never uses and he will never use any drugs. Your opinion who is the best and your matter of taste. And I think in sports the one is best who does best - and 54 kg is a "small" difference?

[LesPaulEMG81]

"I know Savickas in person. He never uses and he will never use any drugs."

Yeah, Ronnie Coleman and Ryan Kennely are drug free too right? These guys are addicts so don't bullshit us.

[theultimatemeatball]

Why has Savickas not been in the worlds strongest man for the last 3 years??

[jonathanwindham]

Because the face has to fit.

[desembodic]

he has been it for the last SIX years, the WSM is bullshit speed events the arnold is the REAL strongman event every year where weak mariez loses every year because he is not the strongest man, savikas is.

[WUTANG826]

haha..Depends how you define strength....I define it as a mixture of Maximal strength, Explosive power, Muscle Endurance, Conditioning all put together..which maruisz has and svikas does not. Hey the heart is a muscle to.....

[duraliumas]

Savickas don't use steroids like that polish, so shut up bitch!

[BeyondBerserk]

because WSM is more about endurance opposed to the 1rm competitions Savickas is used to.

[bigbruvaluv]

Zydrunas is the best strong man ever! he left WSM cos there's drug-cheats (M.P) in there posing as strongmen! IFSA all the way baby!

[Accountgm]

Maruisz or Zydrunas dont use drugs there both tested.

[Hyski666]

@Accountgm

You actually think these guys dont use steroids?

[kerrbear160387]

bah its hard to say, i always thought they did but wouldnt they be tested before entering or would that only apply to olympic lifting

[bakedemfries]

@kerrbear160387

All WSM athletes use AAS. I have nothing against it. My logic is it is an even playing field if everyone uses them.

The WSM and IFBB do not test for anabolic steriods.

[RhiehnD]

@bakedemfries Samuelsson didn't.

[Pentagonshark666]

sorry man,but you are idiot.naturally

is almost impossible to get so

strong.they just don't use steroids

a few days before big contest.

so stupid comment you got.

[kerrbear160387]

lmao your calling him stupid and you think roids wont show up on a drugs test if you just dont take them a few days before, hahahahaha

[Maddolis]

@kerrbear160387 Not sure if someone's corrected you by now, but the drugs they test for are cocaine and similar substances (which Mariusz was disqualified for after placing 3rd in a WSM of whatever year), not steroids.

[Accountgm]

Almost bieng the key word

i dont get the bit about they dont use them a few days before mate?

[Pentagonshark666]

it's 100% clear that they use roids.

some mounth before,some few

days before.

[kallebaah0]

Strongest man alive, and he seems like a really nice bloke too

[worras2007]

1016 lb is 462 kg. This is 54 kg from Pudzianowski :) And Savickas will do more in the years to come. I think he can reach some 500 kg - nothing to compare to that frail "Mista Pudzianowski"...Just the Polish seem not to understand the arithmetical difference...

[ScrewyLouie666]

worras: You're missing the point !!! This is only ONE event. The World's Strongest Man Competition encompasses SEVERAL events........and Mariusz Pudzianowski is the BEST. In fact, he just won the World's Strongest Man 2007 competition in Californiafor the 4th time on 09/23/07.

[jwietzeljr]

Big Z doesn't compete in that federation anymore though. He is with IFSA instead, though he was just dethroned this year. I'd love to see the two go head to head again.

[randolphbooth]

yeah I agree, MP beat Zydrunas 2 times to win wsm

[Beyondward]

zydrunas is the strongest!

[blachubear]

Savickas is a Power lifting God.

[enerasu]

too easy for savickas ...

[pluijmps]

mariusz pudzianowski is the best all-round strongest man

[jwietzeljr]

I think that Pudz and Big Z are two of the best in the world over the past five years. I think that Big Z has more static strength and Pudz is faster with better endurance so when they meet head to head the winner tends to be determined by the event selections. Pudz wins with Conan's wheel, and any carrying event with the weight on the chest. Z wins any static movements or max lift efforts.

[PackManCrazy]

well said.

[PackManCrazy]

well said, jwietzeljr.

[XvayS]

Did you ever hear name Vasyl Virastyuk?

[jwietzeljr]

Of course. He's awesome, he's also one of the elite strongmen out there. Close to Z in some of the static stuff, moves well. He doesn't seem to be as consistent as Z, not sure why though. He reminds me of a more agile Hugo Girard. If he has a good day he can beat anyone.

[jobby67]

Oh my gosh!!!!THis man should play in the NFL for more money!!!!

[jayron77]

It's all about being the best by beaing the best on their own game in the biggest stage in strongman world. Savickas is the strongest man in the world and strongest deadlifter in the world, no cheap bogus governing bodies with all their bogus rules/requirments/equipments can take that away from him, he showed the whole world for 5 straight years that he is indeed the strongest man on the planet.

[bagzie]

Exactly. All you boguns saying Pudzianowski is the strongest, or that bitch bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman (Lol) are living in cloud cookoo land. Savickas is head and shoulders above everyone else when it comes to PURE strength, and all the other guys know it, including Mark Henry and Hossein Rezazadeh.....and any NFL pussy lineman.

[Vilme2]

but look savickas done this weight very easy i fink he could do more and more

[tyuyiop]

Jahnny is totally right. Pudzianowski takes 408kg on classic deadlift. Pekanov around 420. Koklyaev 425. Savickas is even better than them in deadlift and Bennie's best is around 430 kg. I'm sure Savickas is the king in the deadlift. Maybe Andy Bolton...

[eyesack9]

i can do that with my tounge

[kabfik]

while jerking off to porn too i bet, go back to eating chili cheese fries while playing with your big fat belly, man I really dislike trolls, if you are so tough then compete and quit being such a big pussy.

[eyesack9]

LOL wow thanks for looking 5 pages just for my comment i made while probably really high

[jahnny82]

- Nah his old powerlifting deadlifting record was around 900 pounds back then, now he is about 70 pounds heavier weighing in at 390 this year and not to mention stronger plus he is standing on a platform therefore like i said there isn't much of a height difference between this lift and the traditional

[tyuyiop]

Pudzianowski can deadlift 407.5 kg too. Savickas can take more right now. Bennie Magnusson couldn't deadlift the 1000lbs hummertire barbell.

[etwade]

Well, that's because Benni trains for normal deadlift. I doubt Savickas could do near what Benni does on normal DL either.

[kraftamenn]

His best deadlift is 407,5kg or 898lbs. Done few years ago.

[bigguy500]

i think you are right about that

[bigwill00013]

jahnny82 that bar is over 1/2 a foot higher that a normal bar i think his dl is more like 850ish

[jahnny82]

- shit he done dat easy, there isnt much difference between this form and tradition except for the fact that the bar bends initially on this one man i would really love to see how much he can actually deadlift using the normal deadlift method i reckon its 960 + without the straps and is he even wearing a deadlift suit? it doesnt look like it i bet he could do even more with that

[zygizmundas]

he realy srongest man in the world...

[niagareven]

Wow, it looked 100x easier on video than in person. He should have took another lift and went for 1060. I bet he would have got it.

[tyuyiop]

This guy gets better every year.
