Phil Pfister Training Video

[Xoliapydon]

@2:25 Someone get him a diet Coke!

[bigsinger1981]

GAY !!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrRonwhite]

pretty sure there was alot more weight training...

[bobmoyer87]

Man I hate swiss balls

[Jason27730]

I know the easiest way to win the worlds strongest man its called steroids

[MrRonwhite]

@Jason27730 alot of wsm competitors are anti drug Phil and magnus Samuelsson are two off the top of my head

[Ahmazing69]

This seems so much more like a Football training program

[victor22]

Best.

[mkrulic517439]

half the fun of training strongman is you dont have to hang out in a gym

[SvenMrJ]

That isn`t a strongman workout! :) That`s an athletic- fitness workout!

[derkabronen]

a guy ta gym gave us some of this exercises and are tuff, tuff enoff to give you brutal strenght

[1gadena]

It would be really funny if this is what he did everyday and won worlds strongest man. Whilst the other guys were going through hours of serious pain lifting the heaviest weights possible and there he was just rolling around on those balls and jumping on a off things lol

[EDtheIslander]

This video just shows he is willing to train to total exaustion,wich is the only way you make real progress.

[kyle9003]

1:20

[kyle9003]

1:24

[thenormalyears]

This video basically means fuck you I'm not telling you what I did haha

[biancagray123]

he came to my school today! 

[MetalCamelChannel]

This is not his real training.

[shinshoryuken]

Phil Pfister is a POWERLIFTER not a bodybuilder. He doesn't care if he's fat just as long as he's super strong. That's why he doesn't train like a bodybuilder.

[MrSupermann1111]

han er veldig sterk på markløften.

[peters1400]

@agathacorp. Squatting, pushing and pulling heavy weight is functional training. Balancing on a gym ball is done by church mums at the local planet fitness.

[ofoyboy]

i never get how the wsm are so strong but some dont look very big.

[czoraa21]

@ofoyboy phil phister is pushing 7 feet tall so he might look a lil smaller on this video because when ur that tall all ur muscle is spread out and longer. but believe me because i met him once he is a real life GIANT!!! its like crazy just looking at him.

[GamingInThe90s]

Animal.. hes spoken at our school multiple times, and I saw him at Home Depot the other day haha,

[SammyJ21]

Lay right there hahaha

[victor22]

He is the man!

[rezilience11]

This guy is completely drug free. He's my inspiration because there's no better feeling than when you do it without the use of a performance enhancing drug. im not saying i judge people for the choice to use them but i do have much more respect for the man that can do it on hardwork and dedication alone. lots of respect for this guy

[saundersj20]

AWESOME!!

[wsm2009]

At 340 body weight, many of those exercises have a much different training effect than for a normal person. Someone who weighs 150 might never be able to get really strong by doing primarily core exercises, push ups, and dumbbell lunges, but when you weigh 340, if you have good relative body strength, you have good STRENGTH! And yeah, if Phil ever chose to juice as much as Ronnie Coleman, he would probably weigh 500 lbs and DOUBLE every one of Ronnie's lifts.

[lskone]

Nice training

Not easy to move like that, when your as big as Phil

[ThePippozzolo]

Great Phil !!

I take a look at the WSM 2010 Athletes ;no Phil this year ?

[spidanez]

@ThePippozzolo dude he is 40 years old... i think he may think of his health and risk of serious injury due to his full time job.

[0ssandon]

@ThePippozzolo noup. I don't remember if it was in 2008 or 2009, but he said that he was getting retired. He just said he was too old for that... obviously I don't think that way, the guy has potential and everything it takes to become the WSM again. Hope I had answered ur question ;)

[CesarStylezZ]

espectacular entrenamiento

[TheYoungDieGood]

Phil Pfister the only man ever who promised to win Worlds Strongest Man and make good on it

[carnut476]

@TheYoungDieGood Thanks !

[InGangWeBang]

this is just ONE of Phils workouts...don't think he does only this and that's it...of course he trains all the events

[ZzDe0]

0:52 how is him playing basketball going to help him win WSM??

[Laidstallion1992]

@ZzDe0 lol it was probably the closest thing he had to train for atlas stones

[albertaberg]

cool video

[valdigurkaa]

he didn't just do this functional training, only like 1-2 times a week as i recall

[thisonefuckingirl]

what the fuck kinda shit is this? train like a man phil, this is ridiculous.

[albertaberg]

@thisonefuckingirl you obviously dont know a lot

[thisonefuckingirl]

@albertaberg i know more than you. im a fucking wizard.

[albertaberg]

@thisonefuckingirl ok. but i wouldnt call the training that led to his world strongman victory "ridiculous...

[sourceforvictorian]

Ahh....... Umm..... What the hell was that!!!

[terrapatra]

i think he was able to win because he is very tall what he did here besides the deadlift it was not a workout for strength

[13executioner13]

Phil is natural.

just because someone is big and has good muscle mass, doesn't mean they're on roids. Ronnie Coleman is definitely on roids, with a doubt.

[valdigurkaa]

@13executioner13 lol how do u know?

[13executioner13]

@valdigurkaa ...because I know.

not everybody has to take steroids.

you might, as you probably need all of the help you can get.

but some people are just naturally big.

and with training and good nutrition, can further expand their genetic gifts.

now go and get an erection watching ronnie coleman videos.

I'm sure you'll love it.

[valdigurkaa]

@13executioner13 why are you so angry?

i don't use steroids, i have nothing against them thou.

i don't like ronnie coleman that much.

But dude really, why shouldn't Phister use steroids?

[valdigurkaa]

@13executioner13 lol @ you

[churchhill1957]

maurice is the roid freak, not pfister............

[AxelPRC]

Phil Pfister is a douchebag but if hes truly drugfree then good on him

[ohbabycarpediem]

i have this dvd set. how did he cycle this into his strongman training? i.e. m/w this stuff, t/th/s strongman stuff...

[tlast2O12dude]

1:16 that's a good exercise for the lower back core.

[tyciol]

The side-stepping? I suppose so.

[louieecarter]

@tlast2O12dude Do you do it?

[deano888888]

I think this is Phils CV training working on core balance and core strength.

This isn't how he became worlds strongest man. He did that lifing massive weights.

The World Strongest man competitions envolve not only lifting the weight, but moving with it. Thats why Strong men have to keep mobile and agile, as well as stupidly strong

[isolationist911]

he came to our school today, hes a stud and hes hugee,, his is nice and stuff i was 1 ft from him fer like an hour and got his autograph and stuff

[Dclovescl]

I believe it would be an honor to meet Phil Pfister

[BrandonP30]

this mofo came to our school and talked to us it was so gay

[Eurospezial]

whats a "mofo"?

[BrandonP30]

mofo= mother fucker

[plumprandy]

You mother loved his load in her mouth.

[prepper04]

obviously, he did something right. i just don't know what.

[carnut476]

@prepper04 Ohhh You Don't ? Like winning the worlds strongest man competition.

Dumbass !

[G00n3r4Life]

@prepper04 Dont underestimate a strong core.

[RoxettePaint]

@prepper04

I can´t believe there´s so many people here that think this training is what he got his strenght from... you are naive, all hes training here is endurance and coordination which is much needed in Strongman competition

[spidanez]

@prepper04 that all looks pretty hard for such a big man. he was already strong, but was he as fast before hand?

[kwak76]

interesting..I would think a strong man would train just by lifting allot of heavy weights instead of the routine he is doing now.

[quathar]

This was obviously just complementary training to become more athletic and explosive

[Dclovescl]

Yours going to need Cardio and everything cause when your using alot of strength to lift heavy weights your using up oxygen so you get out of breath easily. So but working on his cardio he can help replenish that loss of oxygen easier.

[nickhall08]

he came to our school to in PA he is so big

[JasonRadley]

He bribed the judges.

[lewischix]

he came to our school...... in his home state of west virginia..... lemme tell ya..... hes bigger than he seems.

[fa272]

Yep, he's really big. He comes in our Little Caesar's and gets pizza once a week or so.

[Dclovescl]

And gets probably the most protein rich meats?

[bwade88]

alot of cardio vs heavy lifting...intresting but those half ball balance things were proven inefective in a recent study...wonder what he thinks about that...

[bigdawg69ner]

The half ball things are very effective in order to keep core stability, without it, a man his size would get injured doing deads and liftin rocks come the comp

[bwade88]

um no guy look it up........there not effective at all im sorry

[MicFrosty88]

dude just cause one study says they dont work doesnt mean they dont. My study is that phil phister is an incredible athlete and it worked for him. sooo my study contradicts yours. what do you say to that?

[bwade88]

well i say your study is watching phil phister videos.....soooo.. haha yea. i think its prob just a placebo effect for him, just as weight lifting belts are

[MicFrosty88]

no my study is the fact that hes an incredible athlete. and weight lifting belts aren't placebo either haha they give more support to your core when you're squatting and deadlifting

[subfighter316]

He has a very well-rounded routine. I think the common stereotype is that strongmen just do powerlifting.

[rocknova]

Is this real? I thought it was a joke untill I read all the other comments.

[Letsfightlove]

His arms are insanely long!

[WESTHOE]

Brilliant vid, good to see that he is able to show the exercices tha he struggles with rather than just set after set of bench or pressess. Some good drills on this, any one have an idea where you can get the routine from?

[kaierlend]

this is verry good for a masn who is 170kg

[essenceofzagnut]

pfister is strong but hes just not that naturally athletic...anyone buy that training dvd?

[topformfitness]

Yes, I have the DVD's. I'll be honest, I wasn't terribly impressed. It's a good, athletic program, but far too much Bosu ball and stability ball exercises for my liking (and which many coaches would agree is counter-productive to maximum force development). I was very disappointed that there was almost no strongman implement training. That being said, he is one big, strong dude! I'd suggest finding Viking Power Svend Karlsen's training DVD.

[moneybody1]

I did and I actually fell asleep watching it. It is good info to try new things in your own routine but it should have been edited down more to about 1 hour long.

[TycuBodyBuldier]

Mariusz Pudzianowski is the Best !

[HotaruOfTheDesert]

I see him like once a week at the YMCA in Charleston. XD And his step-mom was my elementary school principal. XD

[ravenpwnsall]

he was at my school today, talking to us football players

[mistamontiel]

0:15 is AWESOME I should do that..I need to get in touch with my weight..my gut is SHIT

[drewmania5]

phil pfister is from westvirginia where im from..lol

[ronyboy40]

great 4 balance but these excersize are very risky on the joints

[YouAteMyChicken]

all very functional but what about brute strength moves like squats, turkish get ups etc

[GillesGerais]

he probably did, this is probably just a lighter functional and agility day or something, thers no way he could be as strong as he is without big lifts

[SilveradoSon]

the thing about lifting is that brute muscle is nothing without explosiveness, and what he is training to do is to make his muscle able to lift weight at a high rate of speed, training fast twitch fibers as much as or even more than slow burn exercises. Exercises like power cleans make your muscles develop that explosiveness, while squats may work the same muscle groups, but do not tear down ad rebuild the muscle in the same way

[asevorovesa]

u must agree this is somekind of agility day. this cant be the key to his strength 1:45

[jas0n123456789]

@GillesGerais and some core training

[jkininji]

@GillesGerais Denial denial

[karmaweburn]

@GillesGerais I live in Charleston and not uncommon for him to be pulling a firetruck down the boulevard on a Sunday morning. What a nice guy but man he is HUGE!!!!

[mixali]

@1.12 - very tough indeed!

[holdelew]

is there a benefit to doing those excercises on what looked like to be half an exercise ball or was it just for comfort?

[streakzfball4eva]

no it strengthens your ankles and get them used to moving in weird directions

[holdelew]

oh ok thanks

[chriseschete]

it helps build your core, balance, and stability

[londawg2869]

People are saying that phil has to be juiced to have won. If this were true then he would never lose. His physical body type would give him too much of an advantage if strength was equal. It is unfair to assume that all strongmen are using steroids. Some strongmen probaly do, but the truth is that pfister has never shown the physical signs of using steroids. He has also stated many times that he has stayed drug free to test the limits of the human body, and steroids would not show true strength.

[DigitalHaze65536]

I agree. I was watching a rerun of the 2008 WSM yesterday and thought the same thing. A few of them appeared to have taken steriods, but Phil and a few others didn't look like it to me. Just naturally big and strong. (and they work out too of course.) Being 6' 6"+ helps alot too, their natural frame can hold alot of muscle naturally, as oppossed to a smaller man.

[xXxtheUsedmcrgirlxXx]

LOL he looks like my dad. Fat and ugly

[rustydavis92]

I really hope Pfister returns to WSM soon. I always loved the epic battles between him and Mariusz.

[dack1337]

i know :(

[dbzownsbigtime]

he looks like a child in a playground. at a certain point he's shooting hoops:p

lmao

[Suidakkra]

lol yeah hoops with a 100lb medicine ball

[bufbarbnaby]

GH worked wonders !

[Beachnut32]

I'd say almost all these guys have used steroids in their lifetimes... But just because someone has lots of muscle and a little fat is NOT a tell-tale sign.

[Beachnut32]

You guys all displayed your ignorance with your comments.

"Steroids are just water" - actually, steroids strip your muscular system of a lot of water.

"Roids give you false strength" - what is false strength anyway? Wrong.

"being able to maintain muscle and lose fat is impossible" - it is highly possible and is done a lot. Do you ever see NFL players looking "fat?" - wait, I bet you think they're all on steroids too?

Ignorance.

[truckerevan]

Apparently these guys have never heard of natural bodybuilding or training? Bunch of dummies.

[madeinamerica650]

Yes their is natural training, but guys who roid and train just as hard will be stronger. Most steroids increse your testostarone which builds muscle.

[HemerStary]

God your dumb, I dont even bather to explain.

[Beachnut32]

If you're calling me dumb, you should bother to explain because I'm sure my knowledge of skeletal muscles and the drugs that are used to enhance them is at a much higher level than yours.

[HemerStary]

I,ve been lifting weights for a long time and I've seen all kinds of steroid users and natural bodybuilders and weightlifters and that is what I base my knowledge on, not theoretical study. People on some proffesional level all use roids. And we all should agree that this is bad.

[truckerevan]

Genetics, supplements, protein, rest, Nox, hard work are all contributing factors that don't include juicing, all are "natural" training methods that are used by bodybuilders and strongmen for years.

[truckerevan]

I wish you would bather.

[SwedishVikingPower]

Well, that's nice and all. But I want to see him bench press.

[zpar72]

this is some pretty intense training, his balance and speed for sucha big body seems liek hed be sick in the NFl as a lineman

[spagnot]

yes!

[Thrasher502]

no wonder he only won once, he's wasting all kinds of time of goofy shit

[nizxbit]

PHIL PFISTER is the worlds greatest man ,never mind strongman.

[jetTravoltaLOL]

6'6" 330

[Soob4ME]

375 actually.

[mrsjeffhenson]

he's a nice person too!

[BLAKEYBBLAKEY]

This guy deserves to win it again over that juiced up,unnaturally ripped drug test failing Polish Fuckyounofski.

No i'm not American,i'm English and i wan't a guy like this to hold the title over that polish cheater.

[sr19]

dude, they all take drugs. just accept it, mariusz failed the test cause he was irresponsible, they all take drugs and know how to get around tests. powerlifters, weightlifters and strongmen. all of them. full stop.

[Muscleg]

ABsolutely right! I'm watching them on ESPN right now. All are "taking". Mariuz gets tested, because he looks more like a bodybuilder than a power lifter.

[Yomanimaballa]

Every single person in WSM, all professional powerlifters, and all professional bodybuilders, unfortunately take steroids.

[BLAKEYBBLAKEY]

That seems to be everyones opinion.

[Yomanimaballa]

It's not an opinion, it's the truth, and you really know absolutely nothing about any of them if you don't know that.

[Soob4ME]

Where do you find the info? I'd like to see some documented proof. I've been doing crazy insane workouts for a couple of months now and I'm amazed at the size and weight I'm gaining. I can see how someone who is naturally thick could obtain that kind of strength.

[zpar72]

seriously tho, some of these 400 pound strongman from eastern europe probably didin't abuse steroids...u look a certain way from steroids(Marius), if u eat a shitload of food, have sick genetics and train like a madman u cud look like some of these competitors like filou and hollands, but mariusz body is freakish, definitly a result of steroids, u cant say for a definite fact that every strongman is on roids its just not tru...some people have amazing genetics...

[HemerStary]

Fuck you prick, Mariusz is a 5 time winner no steroid dummy could achive that, he has real power. Mariusz is the most hardworking man in this sport, completely dedicated, so dont speak shit. Roids give you false strenght that cannot last for long but for the last 6 years the Dominator wins almost every event he goes to, so don't talk about things you have no idea about

[xylidinehl]

you clearly have no idea what you are talking about either. the simple fact that he has won 5 times suggests that he is using drugs. not to mention being able to maintain that much muscle mass and keep the fat ripped off of it at the same time. he may be the hardest worker in the sport, and if that is true it also suggests drugs. only on drugs can you train in a way that leaves no stone unturned. clean athletes spend more time in recovery, so when they train it is only the most important stuff.

[BLAKEYBBLAKEY]

Thank you!

You've put that naive idiot straight with your hard FACTS.

More people need to wake up and smell the steroids,Mariousz's steroids which he has clearly been taking in order to maintain that physique and defy physics by beating 6'7" firemen etc.......

[HemerStary]

Loosing muscles is typical for steroids, because its just water, he has no fat because he works for it. Look when Phister sits on a couch and grows a fat belly drinking beer, Mariusz is out there keeping fit. I bet they all take some drugs butt you make a scapegoat out of Mariusz because he looks better.

[nastramos779]

when he one back at 2006 that was a fluke because the next year he didnt even place in third, thats disappointing

[renegade31cka]

hes simply the best because....hes the only american to win the whol thing sooo probably makes him the best america

[renegade31cka]

reppin the dub-v right there

[nizxbit]

Does the thought of being one of five fantastically flustered fillys being fingered by Phil Pfisters five fat fingers simultaneously turn your wifes fanny into a foaming frothing fuckpot of fizzing fishiness?

[fudgejudge2]

he was sick today on espn

[k0kan3]

insane

[danielwa2]

thanks for winning it for us man, you made us all proud. considering how much he weighs, those kind of workouts are killer

[yancur]

Damn good job! I'd be dead by the end of such session..

[tweekersjam]

Phil brought the shit home,most excellent job phil!

[kartaleagle12]

Amazing!!

[akrlic]

This workout looks insane... Very advanced, not the sort of thing a novice should attempt. That said, I could see how it'd help you to become a very well-rounded and very developed, strong athlete.

[airsoftsargent]

haha you know whats funny i bet you would'nt say hes a fat american to his face or any of that shit, he is THE MAN and hes from my state so thats sweet.

[later6]

hah i go to the same pool as him

[svenske71]

i thought he did more hardcore workouts

[UNIONSUKZ]

thats only one session buddy

[samsonprado]

at the end the coach says"lay right there".........will do captain with no complaining. me thinks he needs a beer

[punaniswabber]

he looks like humpty dumpty

[CaptainCambria27]

Actually, Muro, I would say that since he finished and Mariusz didn't, that makes him the strongest, not the luckiest.

Nice try on trying to bring a champion down, though. :)

[PhilM662]

lol dont worry captain, no youtube hater will ever take away phil's amazing win(and comeback if i recall) at wsm 06, bringing the trophy back to america

[plumprandy]

Not only that,DRUG FREE

[Muro2488]

strong bitch, but won in the very last event in the very end, you people cant deny he was LUCKY.

[plumprandy]

6 billion people in the world,yea I guess he was lucky.

[chingada47]

killer workout

[thechoosendude]

Pfister is a machine.

America is coming back to take the title!!!

[guitarpaol]

he is the best

[atlscribe]

I guess being 6'6 and weighing 345lbs doesn't hurt either.

[chrometanned]

I talked to Phil yesterday. He has a training yard near my house where he trains with all the tires and junk. He is a really nice guy and I hope he can win it again... Good Luck Phil!

[materazzinm23]

I admire his workout creativity, he's cool

[jdjisaok90]

Phil is my hero. He kicks ass.

[JDCREAMER1]

Besides the deadlift, I never would have thought he did these kind of workouts

[oldhornyman]

Jesus Christ - 1:20, there is blood coming out of his ears!
