Arnold Strongman Classic 2005 - Apollon's Wheel pt. 2

[IBLOWN]

I can lift a wet towel with my penis.

[Mattyboyzie]

grabbing onto a coke can thick bar that's at a solid fixed point and having to press it overhead = monsterous

deadlifting that thing would be hard enough

[Uniflux]

Savickas uses weightlifting technique, he's still a very strongman. But i think in terms of sheer static strength and power Glen Ross is probably the strongest man alive.

[zben504]

@Uniflux Imagine what he could do if he had better technique and didn't have so much extra body fat!

[ajayalmighty]

Why does he use the alternate grip? Why not just the hook grip like a trad clean and jerk?

[dimebag4550]

@ajayalmighty bars too thick, helps his grip

[bunkman64]

I did that once..stood in the audience and cheered I mean.

[leo280597]

@MyBlackWill I know is a guy, but... Which guy???

[leo280597]

7 people are weak!

[leo280597]

@MyBlackWill Who's gay?

[folkemetall]

woooo Norway!! :D

[InFlamesAddictive]

Svend is legend

[Opelkim]

I've looked this clip at least 10 times

[Opelkim]

I've looked this clip at least 10 times

[Brunioleal]

very very strong man...

[YouBenTV]

that wasnt a proper press, he dropped his body and hyperextended his arms...fail

[MrAsaphelps]

@YouBenTV

Man shut the fuck up. This is a televised event showcasing one of the best strongmen lifting more than what would be thought humanily possible. I think he knows a little more about strength and lifting weights you overweight WOW playing douchebag.

[Magnimammen]

LMFAO! No sir, your mom hyperextended her arms and dropped you! :)

[90hi09]

bad exexution

[25877852]

Jamie is the strongest!

[justinhatesps3]

How much does that weigh

[Billboard2001]

@justinhatesps3 two oprah's worth

[csmanuel86]

All these mariusz nut huggers...

Know why Mariusz stopped going to the Arnold Strongman Classic? He can't handle the big boy weights and he got killed every year.

[Jur0]

@csmanuel86 mariusz got the techniques and stamina, but he indeed lacks pure strenght to fight up against the strongest powerlifters. But again, WSM is all about stamina, strenght and power. Not just power.

[agentbobbarker]

The second guy seemed to just be showing off....

[shindenfudoryu]

yeah big daddy



[rissx]

who cares how strong you are if you have to look like the second guy? they said he's 33, he won't live til 39

[cbrusharmy]

Savickas!!!

[IL8ROBY3]

w la benzina!

[Pentagonshark666]

all maybe don't know that Glenn Ross started his pro training as a

bodybuilder,but hes maybe the strongest alive,no tehnique,pure power.

[patriottank]

awesome!

[Ringnesbest]

savickas has a extreme talent within pressing! he is truly a beast, looks like it's not hard at all! fucking amazing!

[leparditas]

savickas

[semoo201]

BIG Z IS DEFF THE MAN !!

[aram34]

BIG Z

[stjartsmor]

svend karlsen has done 1 rep on 185 kg i think

[Zolkz1Zneew]

thats not very much if he were 2 compete in worlds strongest

[stjartsmor]

what do u meen not very much?

[Zolkz1Zneew]

well one at the gym im going 2 did 6 reps on 160 so he can surely do 1 - 2 on 185 and he is not competiong for any worlds first place.

[stjartsmor]

ok so? That doesn´t meen that somebody who competes in strongman isn´t strong just because he ´´only´´ can pushpress 185 kg?. Svend karlsen also benchpressed 260 kg when he was 22 years old, and back then he was still a bodybuilder.

[shermstic]

Love this clip Glenn Ross is brutal, not using his legs "Whos the Daddy come on"

[bmaysS01]

Apes have strong hands, feet, and arm retraction. Everything else is shit.

Besides, we have weapons. Bears, lions, rhinos, etc are fucked against an Abrams tank, or a handgun for that matter. Instead of going to Iraq we should have went and fucked up a few sliverbacks with the damn 120mm laser guided cannon.

[invertedpentagram666]

if its just the brute strenght and power without the technique speed and cardio glenn ross and zydrunas savickas are the strongest men in the world for sure

[skimboley]

amusing

[kingofpita]

How much does an appollons wheel weigh?

[Pentagonshark666]

@kingofpita 166kg

[zaraki1080]

BIG Z FOR THE WIN!!!

[blizzardlord666]

Szake66 you are weak, I don't know any ape who can lift that! The human race in strong, much stronger than apes!!!

[gufniata]

Apes are on avarage 4 times stronger than humans

[slauge]

Savickas is probably around 4 times stronger than an average human

[huntrayisabeast16]

more.(:

[muchlove59]

Actually an ape is 20 times stronger than a human. I happened to have noted that during a documentary.

Would have little trouble tearing apart a super strong human

[skardinius]

@muchlove59

lol would an ape deadlift 10 000 kgs? i doubt.

but wait! could an ape also curl 1000 kgs with ease?

[muchlove59]

@skardinius

Their muscles are denser than ours without training and are 20 times stronger than a man, not an elite body builder.

A man cannot curl 50kg so that point is irrelevant. Work out how much stronger a bodybuilder is than a man and then work out how much stronger an ape is.

I'm not arguing with you, it is a fact

[kerrbear160387]

20 times is just not true. also when these tests are done they will tend to use guys who are quite big, not stongmen or body builders but well but together average guys and yet none of the tests work well enough to be considerd a proper reading. but for arguments sake they only work out to be 7-8 times stronger

[xxskeletonv3xx]

uh dude ur wrong, ape will tear any human apart, youtube monkey attacks woman, thats fucking scary dude, she was on operah

[evans808274mc9la]

Not so I'm afraid. Apes have no fat cells at all in there muscle composition and an adult male chimp is probably a bit more than 4 times stronger than a man. The problem is that chimps do not have much strength in extension (benchpress) only in retraction (chin ups). They are many times stronger, but could only bench press about 2.5-3 times more than your average man. Still, a chimp will rip a person to pieces. Did you see that chimp that went mad and ripped a womans face off? Sheer power.

[DuffLego]

These guys aren't human! The average person cannot comprehend how heavy that weight is.

[prsguitars92]

500lbs...pulled up easily for 2 reps..these guys should be in the olympics.

[walkman123456789]

when they have theat on there chest looks like their back is gonna break. what strength holy fuck

[bundyboy961]

lmao thats not a press its a snatch and the human race is and will always be weak, if we were strong we could lift cars and buses

[Szake66]

That was a power jerk, preceded by a "continental" clean-- not a snatch. But we are weak compared to other apes.

[kabfik]

how much can you lift, weakass can you even lift your dick up to take a piss, you are a fucking dumbass you need to get off youtube, and go play with a hamster, the human body is designed to be limitless what was thought of impossible 30 years ago, is done today, and so forth in the future.

[Prestig3WorldWid3]

too bad that isnt a snatch chief. its a clean to a push press

[tlast2012dude]

good training, he say: "i train to do 5 reps, so i know that in competition i can do one more"

nice

[TzBom]

zydrunas - godlike

[NocKme]

hmmm... Lithuanian is the strongest man !

[mnr8788]

what now.. lifting morocycles and 800 pound women?

[NiXPredator]

Gosh what's Zavickas' military press? 350?

[kabfik]

no dummy, 500 pounds for 2 reps for 2 sets, he has done 455 pounds for 3 sets of 5 reps.

[TungstenLion]

366 lbs I think

[al4986]

what's the weights on those wheels?man, these dudes are seriously strong

[jmdavis5]

basically it is a train axle.

[xXGHETTOkingXx]

yea he is an amayzing strongman but as a PLer he is even better

[kalpokas555]

It's really amazing how strong human can be

[IlIWlIl]

Z. Savickas FTW!!! respect!!!

[SunChipsINC]

Glen Ross= DonVIto + Steroids?

[PharaohsRemnant]

hahahaha EXACTLY!

[sam14641]

omg Zydrunas Savickas is one strong beastfuck

6'3, 375lbs, 23.5 inch biceps . . . that's thicker than my fucking thigh lol

[powerlifter8894]

SuckerLickMyBattery are you blind? as far as pure power goes Big Z fucking trumps all except the legend the strongman phenom Bill Kazmaier

[swettybettybob]

who's the fatty!!! glen ross is hahah fat cunt

[sam14641]

swettybettybob

LOL WHO'S THE DADDY!!

XD probably doesn't even go to the gym (jaykay I know he does) just eats chicken wings,drinks Guinness,sits on his arse then turns up on the day & fucks everyone up. He is a lej tho

[lilsuperman87]

Nevermind they said the weight on part 1. 366!

[lilsuperman87]

How much does the apparatus weigh again?

[chiortas666]

Savickas is the best \m/

[IrishBrockHarrison]

Glenn Ross is a legend

[chriscaie]

@IrishBrockHarrison he is the DADDY !!

[leo280597]

@IrishBrockHarrison And he's big!!! Really big!

[apeson89]

@IrishBrockHarrison

he looks a bit like family guy ^^

[Joelyroely123]

it would be amazig if you could have brute power like them but be thinner

[m1kasd]

you can

[Joelyroely123]

...really? cuz i am 6 4 and 210 pounds of ...not fat and not msucle...a mix of inbetween but mroe msucle and i have brute force from my size...but i want to be strong like them but without the girth

[natralguy]

why doesnt glen ross use his legs u can press much more that way

[blackdog435]

Because his shoulders, core and triceps are just that strong that he doesn't need to.

[AntonioQM]

He needs  to do it, becuase he dont win.

[SuckerLickMyBattery]

Yes he does. He probably could have got two more reps with better technique. Honestly as far as pure power goes Glen may be the strongest guy out there, but shit like this isn't helping him.

[swettybettybob]

im from britain and glen ross should be ashamed to even enter strongman comeptitions. FAT CUNT, LOOK AT THE GUT ON HIM!

[Lehi145]

i know this is a question i should know but what does this weigh?

[CorneliusVaro]

Around 166 kilos.

[casa3163]

savickas rules in the static strength,i think the daddy's technique was not good..(unsafe) but every sport has a risk..

[plumprandy]

Glen Ross Five stars!!

[tinymanthebeast]

366lbs

[sr19]

they should not be referring to it as a clean, that is an insult to the clean. i mean these fuckers are strong, but their clean technique is dreadful, and unsafe. the real clean is a very skillful movement

[samsonprado]

i know right!!!! Now imagine if they had the skillful movement plus a LESS THICKER BAR. They would crush olympic weightlifters to pieces.

[OSG4]

then why not learn the trade it would only help then

[samsonprado]

Because this sport is more like" Hey joe that looks heavy let's try to pick it up!" type stuff. Basically it's more fun because you need to have well rounded strength.

[HITpadawan]

The point where it lands on your chest must be the worst, I'll bet they can hardly breathe...

[joshuita123]

how much is dat?

[darkestred666]

how much does that wiegh?

[dain631]

Zydrunas is damn powerful

Representing Lithuania all the way!!!!

[forum37]

glenn ross as always being BIG when he turned to strongman,but hes a legend no matter what!!!!go to uk strongman and theres a picture of him in bodybuilding

[Colimus]

Zydrunas is the real worlds strongest man, forget marius.

[rapmenn]

@Colimus lol forget your fucking family

[jamesrick2007]

@rapmenn ? moron lol

[tdheoembaesl]

@Colimus Marius is a dick. I was at the Arnold Classic in 2006 w/ my dad, I was 11. My dad was a medic, so we got behind stage. I asked marius for an autograph and he said "Ok little boy. I vill be bock een schive meenuts." So I waited for him because he was my idol because I always wathed him on TV. He never came back. So instead I got to hang out with Benedikt Nagnusson for 2 hours while my dad talked/worked on him. I hate Marius.

[JpRules123]

@tdheoembaesl Rofl

[tlast2O12dude]

@Colimus Marius is 5 times WSM... you cant forget him.

[22bartas]

@Colimus fuck off bitch marcus got 5 wsm titles. the most anyone ever got is 4 so fuck tou

[IIrond]

that thing wheel doesnt look so big, why its so heavy?

[tjmuller]

it's not heavy, it's hard to handle. The bar is thick which makes it feel like much more weight.

[SoloCommando]

and the wheel is ONE piece. not a bar with plates where the plates can turn and the bar doesn't.

in the apollons wheel, if the wheels turn, so does the bar and vice versa. THAT'S the crucial difference.

[DancerInTheHeart]

Can you explain what is the difference it makes? I guess the bar is far less elastic than an oly bar,which could make it a little heavier to deal with,and shorter which limits grip a bit and thicker which obviously increases grip demands. But aside from that,it seems to me that they're using those wheels for the 'cool' factor,and to obscure how heavy it really is,either intentionally or untentionally.

[tuberabban]

Its not just for the cool factor. The non-moving wheels and thick stiff bar actually makes the typical olympic clean movement very difficult. Only several people are able to clean it in one movement.

[shomitygan]

The Apollon's Wheel is a very difficult lift because the bar has no flex at all so when you lift the weight off the ground it is dead weight and feels much heavier than it is.

[SoloCommando]

also the bar rolls with the wheels. it's like one big piece of weight, not a bar with plates on it.

[stumaggoo]

why is glenn ross so fat and yes he very very strong but mariusz pudzianowski and loads anothers and stronger and alot leaner so y be that fat and he that another guy got 6 reps and look how much leaner he is to glenn ross

[Hollabacknow]

What you say is true, but that may just be his body type.

[dlinechamp78]

r u serious how the fuck r these guys pussys you cant even do what they do

[pinkwrapbub]

I dont think Mark Henry pulled more than 935... what a pussy right...!

[zyrabqwerty]

166 kg = 366 lbs

:)

[ABCDEFR]

Really? Why didn't Ross use a Romanian deadlift style? It's not THAT heavy a deadlift, and it'd be easier to clean that way. Hmm.

[zyrabqwerty]

what is Romanian deadlift style ?

[ABCDEFR]

It's when both hands are wrapped around the bar palms facing the lifter, rather than a mixed "over and under" style grip used here.

[NorbPwn]

Actually it when you push your hips really far back, to hit the hamstrings and glutes,

[milnusthegnome]

166 kg

[tristants]

how heavy is this?

[iHateSally]

god damn, when he throws the weight down, it doesnt even bounce

[dragonlover022]

it's landing on Rubber!!!!

[milnusthegnome]

a man who can press 166 kg on his shoulders without using the legs is IMMENSELY strong and a man who has a record for 195 kg on the shoulders is ridiculously strong

[milnusthegnome]

alright, he's the slowest and most pathetic strong man, but he IS the STRONGEST man in the world. His strength is unmatched and he holds a record for 195 kg shoulder press, that's stupidly heavy.

[vvheee]

savickas owns everyone!!! and fat was not sven but glenn ross :D

[rondarb]

lots of pints of guiness :)

[vvheee]

that first was realy fat :D

[kennymitchell]

glenn ross is worlds strongest man as he lifted 3 citreon saxos completely of the wheels for cancer research event

[cyclopticjuggalo]

I think the reporter wanted to do Zydrunas

[rubberkazunt]

How about The Mighty Atom...I find an 82 year old man who could drive 4 inch nail with his hands and tear horseshoes in half pretty fookin impressive......

[Kadagis7000]

like arnold said animal,monster - like old-world lithuanians.

[PackManCrazy]

Steroids.

[engelchristian]

animal!

[Gripmaster3000]

overhead press is alot harder then bench

[bartolemeo]

Savickas is amazing....and a humble guy to boot.

[milnusthegnome]

Holy f*cking shit, Glenn Ross's shoulders are immensely strong.

[arild2]

or 800

[konandy66]

Let's ends this: You let me know when (if) your "gimmick boy" can deadlift 1000 lbs. K? How about 900 even. It's the only lift that defines a man. End of story....

[konandy66]

It's pretty much a given that there isn't another human being close to Garry Franks as far as power goes. Savikas is as close as they come, but his strength is "showboat" stuff. Franks is power. Big difference.

[bagzie]

Bullshit. Where is Franks these days anyway? Ironing his high blood pressure socks Lol Are you trying to say that wearing triple-ply denim bench shirts, squat and deadlift suits so tight you need a team of people to put them on and a mile and a half of knee and elbow wraps is 'power'. Savickas is the strongest man on the planet.

[konandy66]

LOL! Yeah...ok. It's apparent by your idiotic/irrelevant remarks such as (where is he these days.....) that your "knowledge base" comes from YouTube,LOL!

However....we as powerlifters "know the know."

It wasn't an opinion I was offering. With a minimal (absolute minimal) of run-thru training Bolton/Franks could do more than what SAV could do. However, the same cannot be said "the other way around."

So, LMAO.... in short, believe whatever horseshit you see on here.

[bagzie]

Bolton has already competed in Arnold's strongest man and he fuckin sucked. Why not contact Garry Frank, as you are a powerlifter 'in the know' and ask him to prove himself as the strongest man alive. Until he does, we'll all have to accept that Savickas is the man.....and just curious - how do you rate the strength of Hossein Rezazadeh?

[kabfik]

i'm going to have to agree with you here. I max out bench raw with hardwork at 365 pounds, one of my powerlifting friends who is very new to the sport has a raw bench of 225 pounds, wears an Inzer Rage Shirt, and with better technique hits 405 pounds, is his lift more impressive than mine?

btw I plan on wearing a bench shirt once my raw strength is where I need to be at.

[kusorizer]

Svend is the best !!!

[rodrigodr7]

savickas is the strongest man in the planet.

[RIMnCHOP]

andy bolton is the best powerlifter from the uk a full on powerlifter

[aussiegirl808080]

@Y@- woman:-)

[closeholydarkness]

glenn ross looks like pudge in dota.

[aussiegirl808080]

No it's not - its SAVICKAS.

[closeholydarkness]

he's right. it's "savickas."

[aussiegirl808080]

Thanks closeholydarkness - except I'm a woman :-)

[Sloinikas]

fuck! his name isnt savikas or savicas,his name is sa-vi-ts-kas

[Wermachtas]

Zydrunas da best in the WORLD

[shadow09876]

kevin grenier is the best

[conradpexter]

i think they use to much fucking weight for the arnold strongman they should use a little less but go for more reps.

[kabfik]

doesn't that make them that much tougher though? great competition and very strong athletes

[arild2]

svend and savikas

[RightWingCon81]

Savickas is a BEAST!

[Powermick]

Savickas is king

[72grantorino]

"Zuperman" is a GOD! I'd love to meet him!
