Do pro-heavyweight strongmen use steroids? yes... could you be as strong or as big as them if you did? No because you're a pussy and dont know the meaning of training hard
Wow, I just started searching where the 46&2 started coming from. It took me several times to press the pause button to make sure I wasn't trippin' ballz. :D Nice choice of music dude.
Fact is there are lots of guys in this world on gear, but every year only one guy is named Worlds Strongest Man.... I cant say if Poundstone is or is not on gear. I dont know him personally, but of all the dudes out there who pump massive amounts of pharmecuticals very few can compete at his level... All the juice comments just downplay the dedication, commitment, and sacrifice that true Iron enthusiasts display and it pisses me off sometimes!
People are dumb as hell, you have to work just as hard if not harder whilst cycling steroids to gain muscle. A body like that is built from years of hard work and dedication.
Although, I do not advocate nor indorse the use of steroids......to each his or her own.
Whats scarey is that this is 2007. Derek is much stronger now than he was 4 years ago. To the all the roid fanclub people, compare his body to marius pudzianowski, who did take steroids. Huge difference in tone, veins, etc. If Derek did use roids it was minor, he's got a solid die and a very active, hard working lifestyle. He is the future of power lifting.
@Waldozord its close but id say no, the thing that is always said by other strongmen is when you compete against pudzinowski is he has no weak event, every strongman has that one event there bad at or need to improve on and he has elimated that, thats what makes him so dangerous.
ROIDS....thats the universal comment made when someone has achieved through hard work and determination so much more then you could ever imagine........ HOW ABOUT DEDICATED!!!
Respond to this video... i cannot believe that i am now wasting my time in telling you that you are wrong; i feel as pathetic as you sound because i know you are a close minded dumb ass.
@111CARPET Definitely dedicated for sure. Eating that much food alone sucks ass, been there. BUT.... you're not remotely insinuating that this guy isn't on gear.... right? lol....

@doctortree420 psh yeah right the NFL only wants you if you have 320 pounds of fat! they don't care how strong or athletic you are they just want tall fat bastards. Strong athletic lineman don't stand a chance with the scouts.
@xOneTrueGamer His strength doesn't necessarily mean that it is transferable to football, and nor do we know if he has the type of athletic skills to play football.
Hey man, FANTASTIC job with the video! Syncing everything up with the the Tool song like that! Watching this just got me so pumped up before hitting the gym.. time to go pimp some iron..
how come they don't get into olympic lifting? they do a lot of the same overhead presses but for some reason you never see them go to the olympics after winning strongman competitions. are these guys stronger or the olympic guys stronger or just completely different sports?
@jms8220 you do make a valid point but there are alot of strongmen who have alot of history with olimpic lifting like mikhail koklyaev and the late jessie murende, who where and are two very very strong men. but olympic lifting is more technique rather than brute strength these guys have.
@jms8220 Most of the answers you have read are incorrect lol. Like the oylmpics most strongman events, some more then others, actually do require various amounts of technique. The major difference is power. Olympic lifts are all more power driven exercises. If you watch a clean and jerk or a snatch you'll notice that its momentum generated from the hips that does the bulk of the lifting in both lifts. Where as strongman events tend to balance strength technique and power.
@Quote47 because america is a mixed country..everyone here is from another country..mexicans/asian for example...tons of genetic variety, european countries are as mixed so genes stay the same
@Quote47 Uh, actually he placed second at worlds stronget man in 2008 and lost in the final event to pudzianowski by one stone. not to mention that he was ahead before he dropped the stone. So I'd say that he's been pretty close the being the worlds strongest man, and that he had a pretty good chance. Dont talk if you dont know.
@13andincrediblycut lol i on different video's i see video's of you commenting things that you can lift w/e and do w/e and all that on the age of 13 .. you're really full of shit....
@13andincrediblycut lol mate forreal , if you are really that strong , why won't you upload a vid? and dont say because i dont want to bragg about it because if you are forreal all the shit you've bin writing is pretty amazing soo.. upload a vid and we'll see
@OgreMECH It's because there's always some dumbass who says, "[insert bodybuilder or strength competitor] should du MMA!!1!" Then some idiot acknowledges the comment by giving the dumbass a complete dissertation on the different types of strength application.
@OgreMECH look at pudzianowski, just got his ass kicked by tim sylvia.. Strength got nothing to do in mma its all about the skills. love both these sports <3
@Hellem09 Why not ask how good at MMA Tiger Woods would be? Or Michael Jordan? Or Lance Armstrong? Why is it that only strongmen have to prove themselves at MMA? Well, Pudz took the bait and now we can all shut up about it.
@OgreMECH haven't said a shit about how "bad" strongman is, i love that sport, the thing i SAID is that everybody thinks if you got strength you can kick everybody's ass wich you can't. In mma it's all about the skills, not the strength. AND i haven't critizised any other athletes to prove themself in MMA
@Hellem09 strength has its place in fighting. thats why theres weightclasses. but an untrained guy like pudz who has the hands of a beginner boxer and who is way too big is obviously going to lose against a former UFC heavyweight champ. really the only reason people compare mma to strongman is because of the whole alpha male mentality. they see huge strong guys, immediately they associate that with fighting. realistically it makes no more sense to compare these guys as it does a golfer
Wrong. Physical strength and size is hugely advantageous for one involved in an altercation. Pudzianowski only has strength and size and he did not too badly against a guy who is a former world champion. People fail to see the reality of this: Pudzianowski's power and size helped him tremendously against one of the legends of the fight world. This speaks volumes about the advantages of strength and size.
So a guy with almost no fighting skill (Pudzianowski) takes on a legend of combat sports and holds his own. And strength doesn't matter? In a street fight scenario, I'd still put my money on P. Listen, all he had was his strength and size, and it served him well. Imagine if he had fighting skill to go along with his power.
@TheTrueFortress Pudzianowski got a Black belt in karate so don't know what you're talking about ; ) Strength isn't all about fighting, a bigger man could get his ass kicked by a guy twice as small, strenght got probably 20% of the fighting game, the rest 80 % is skills and technique
Because clearly MMA buffs know, even if they won't admit it, that size and strength remains a true advantage in combat. Do these attributes translate to fighting skill? Of course not, but as I say, they are huge advantages. Plus, these strength athletes are clearly alpha males, so naturally all the lesser men want to call out their insecurities by gabbing about how such-and-such MMA guy would kick their asses.
But I agree. Just let these strong athletes do their thing.
@TheTrueFortress why do you say im wrong? what am i wrong about. i already said size and strength have a big place in fighting, which is why theres weightclasses. and since when was tim sylvia a legend in mma? give your head a shake. its obvious you dont follow the sport very closely. the guys fairly tough, fought some big names, but now hes just a can. loses to ray mercer a 40 yearold retired out of shape boxer looking for a paycheck
@TheTrueFortress size and strength only get you so far. look at lesnar. dominated guys with his size ( and div 1 wrestling abilities) but in my opinion strength is overrated at that level. cain looks like hes barely touched a weight and he was able to easily handle a guy over 260 of solid muscle. i give pudz props for hanging in there, but size and strength and if's and but's wont get you far. that fight came down to alot more then size, and pudz got beat up pretty bad.
@ToxicZombie8606 The bigger guys generally, because they develop a security and confidence that girls find attractive in a man. In high school they all go for the cute lean guy, but after that his arrogance cannot compare with the personal qualities that develop when you push yourself to become a proper strongman.
@Draykid Strongmen are not made for 5 min rounds after 90 seconds of explosive exercise they are physically exhausted as would anyone using the amount of power they do. Pudz has experience in kickboxing( feel free to correct me if im wrong). MMA fighters have started to use strongman training in their regime. But an immediate crossover is not viable for both sports.
That's a matter of conditioning and as a matter of fact, guys like Ross Enamait and Joe DeFranco who both produce successful athletes through their S&C programs have always utilized a ton of strongman exercises.
Under the boundaries of strongman training we have all of the following: keg, stone, and sandbag lifting (has always been included in strongman training regimes), car/truck pushing and pulling, farmer's walks, car/truck pushing and pulling, sledgehammer swinging (as a strength or conditioning tool), and single-handed dumbbell work. What do we have there? A list of exercises that Ross and Joe recommend and have their athletes do.
The conclusion we get in the end is that strongman exercises, when performed for conditioning rather than maximal weight, are incredibly useful for an athlete.
Furthermore, concerning the length of the rounds: Ross Enamait's and Joe DeFranco's circuits are all quite typically very short and very intense.
The jump from max strength training the strongman way to conditioning is very short: more reps, more intensity, more explosiveness.
Armbaring someone as big strong as the top strongmen in the world will be almost impossible unless someone just as strong as they are can pull it off. They have FUNCTIONAL strength......there's a huge difference. I'd like to see a former Strongman champion compete in Judo or Jiu Jitsu tournaments.
@tbear8550 5 time worlds strongest man Mariusz Pudizanowski began competing last year in MMA, winning his first fight. i believe he has another schedualed for this summer
These guys would DOMINATE the NFL and any Fighting sports if they chose to. There is NO ONE in the world like these elite strongmen
they are incomparable as far as size, power, speed, balance , coordination and endurance. You take ANY of these men and put them in an mma ring and they would destroy the competition.
@LifeRegenRevolution hes strong he dosnt know how to fight akilees heel lock kimaria lock arm bar lleg bar or a quick right cross would take down dick poundstone in no time
No hes not just Strong, hes INSANELY strong, there is a difference. Sorry but skinny twigs like Frank ' pencil Neck' Mir is Not going to have any chance taking a man down like Poundstone who has unbelievable core strength and Leg Power.
Fact is ufc and mma fighters have NEVER gotten in the ring with Men like these Pro elite strongmen, thats why PUDZIANOWSKI is kicking ass in the riing and will continue to do so
@LifeRegenRevolution yeah but dude if you get bruce lee vs some of these guys it would be close cause bruce lee can fight and hes strong there stronger but can't fight as good you know what i mean and R.I.P bruce lee he was an amazing man but i honestly believe he could kick some ass if he had to fight some of these guys IF!! they had no martial and or fighting experience
You have to remember BRUCE LEE was obviously a fantastic Fighter, but the scenes of him taking on 20 tough guys at once and beating them all up easily was pure Fiction, thats NOT reality !
thats why its called a ' movie' and a fantasy, NO ONE could ever do that in the Real world
@LifeRegenRevolution shut up, just about any strongman worth his salt easily weights over 300+ lbs, Bruce Lee was 135, Frank Mir is 240-265, Brock Lesnar is 265, and Fedor is 235 lbs, thisis the equivalant of asking who would win between a 140lb karate master or a 200lb football player, NOBODY GIVES A SHIT!
I'm fairly sure he could hit 300 still being fairly lean. He really does sit at 285 these days, so 295 really isn't a very inflated number, especially since I believe he actually lost weight going into MMA.
@Draykid ya in the last metrex worlds strongest man they weighted him in at 315 i think ya but hed have to loose alot of weight and muscle if he wanted to join ufc thats for sure maximum weight is 265 lol
@Draykid ya and personally i cant see derek doing mma he just doesnt have the personality and the fighting type additude i cant see this guy beating on anyone to be honest lol ya so he needs to like loose some muscle for sure lol

@TheTrueFortress size and strength only get you so far. look at lesnar. dominated guys with his size ( and div 1 wrestling abilities) but in my opinion strength is overrated at that level. cain looks like hes barely touched a weight and he was able to easily handle a guy over 260 of solid muscle. i give pudz props for hanging in there, but size and strength and if's and but's wont get you far. that fight came down to alot more then size, and pudz got beat up pretty bad.

Question! do girls like guys that big? or do they go for the more lean ripped skinnier guys?
ToxicZombie8606 1 year ago
@ToxicZombie8606 The bigger guys generally, because they develop a security and confidence that girls find attractive in a man. In high school they all go for the cute lean guy, but after that his arrogance cannot compare with the personal qualities that develop when you push yourself to become a proper strongman.

I am a fan of Derek Poundstone but Mariusz Pudzianowski's performance against Tim Sylvia just showed STRONGMEN ARE NOT GOOD AT MMA!

You're talking about a total newcomer against a guy who'd been ranked in the top 3 in the world previously, it doesn't show a gorram thing.

@Draykid Strongmen are not made for 5 min rounds after 90 seconds of explosive exercise they are physically exhausted as would anyone using the amount of power they do. Pudz has experience in kickboxing( feel free to correct me if im wrong). MMA fighters have started to use strongman training in their regime. But an immediate crossover is not viable for both sports.

@misteres
That's a matter of conditioning and as a matter of fact, guys like Ross Enamait and Joe DeFranco who both produce successful athletes through their S&C programs have always utilized a ton of strongman exercises.
Draykid 1 year ago
@misteres
Under the boundaries of strongman training we have all of the following: keg, stone, and sandbag lifting (has always been included in strongman training regimes), car/truck pushing and pulling, farmer's walks, car/truck pushing and pulling, sledgehammer swinging (as a strength or conditioning tool), and single-handed dumbbell work. What do we have there? A list of exercises that Ross and Joe recommend and have their athletes do.
Draykid 1 year ago
@Draykid
The conclusion we get in the end is that strongman exercises, when performed for conditioning rather than maximal weight, are incredibly useful for an athlete.
Furthermore, concerning the length of the rounds: Ross Enamait's and Joe DeFranco's circuits are all quite typically very short and very intense.
The jump from max strength training the strongman way to conditioning is very short: more reps, more intensity, more explosiveness.

Armbaring someone as big strong as the top strongmen in the world will be almost impossible unless someone just as strong as they are can pull it off. They have FUNCTIONAL strength......there's a huge difference. I'd like to see a former Strongman champion compete in Judo or Jiu Jitsu tournaments.

@tbear8550 Unfortunately, you are wrong. Technique is ten times more important than strength in any submission attempt.

These guys would DOMINATE the NFL and any Fighting sports if they chose to. There is NO ONE in the world like these elite strongmen
they are incomparable as far as size, power, speed, balance , coordination and endurance. You take ANY of these men and put them in an mma ring and they would destroy the competition.

No hes not just Strong, hes INSANELY strong, there is a difference. Sorry but skinny twigs like Frank ' pencil Neck' Mir is Not going to have any chance taking a man down like Poundstone who has unbelievable core strength and Leg Power.
Fact is ufc and mma fighters have NEVER gotten in the ring with Men like these Pro elite strongmen, thats why PUDZIANOWSKI is kicking ass in the riing and will continue to do so
LifeRegenRevolution 1 year ago
@LifeRegenRevolution yeah but dude if you get bruce lee vs some of these guys it would be close cause bruce lee can fight and hes strong there stronger but can't fight as good you know what i mean and R.I.P bruce lee he was an amazing man but i honestly believe he could kick some ass if he had to fight some of these guys IF!! they had no martial and or fighting experience

@lickmyfurrytoes
You have to remember BRUCE LEE was obviously a fantastic Fighter, but the scenes of him taking on 20 tough guys at once and beating them all up easily was pure Fiction, thats NOT reality !
thats why its called a ' movie' and a fantasy, NO ONE could ever do that in the Real world

@LifeRegenRevolution haha oh man i know im not sayin bruce lee is a god but 1 V 1 he would have a pretty good shot don't ya think?
lickmyfurrytoes 1 year ago
@LifeRegenRevolution shut up, just about any strongman worth his salt easily weights over 300+ lbs, Bruce Lee was 135, Frank Mir is 240-265, Brock Lesnar is 265, and Fedor is 235 lbs, thisis the equivalant of asking who would win between a 140lb karate master or a 200lb football player, NOBODY GIVES A SHIT!
fakeandgay69 1 year ago
@fakeandgay69
Actually Lesnar cuts down from about 285. He could easily hit a long ways past 300.
Draykid 1 year ago
@Draykid don't think it would be solid muscle
even in that gay WWE shit, the most he ever claimed to be was 295lbs and we should know how inflated those numbers are
fakeandgay69 1 year ago
@fakeandgay69
I'm fairly sure he could hit 300 still being fairly lean. He really does sit at 285 these days, so 295 really isn't a very inflated number, especially since I believe he actually lost weight going into MMA.
Draykid 1 year ago
@Draykid ya in the last metrex worlds strongest man they weighted him in at 315 i think ya but hed have to loose alot of weight and muscle if he wanted to join ufc thats for sure maximum weight is 265 lol

Either way is a lot of weight to move around. For Derek though, he'd have to lose about 30 pounds to compete, on top of 20 pounds to cut.
