The Giant Swede 1

[scorpion0984]

my master

[Weallfaceit]

Viking power.

[audishot]

Magnus samuelsson got great genetics like jouko ahola also got ;)

[situationpersson]

the name of the song?

[LoveSaab900cs]

@situationpersson Duran Duran med Hungry like the wolf

[zhred]

Magnus Samuelssons secret is pasta and porridge, NO steroids if you think that :)

[Feon2]

@tastefulphrasing In the 2000's his arms growth up to 60 cm (24'), but in the 90's he was not that big.

[Younowkoed]

You can't say he's totally natural because he said he is, any bodybuilder or strongman can say they're natural, would you believe them?

[Fudo94]

@Younowkoed Well, he is. You can find out through tests if people have taken steroids or not

[Met666]

@Younowkoed He has Swedish/Viking genetics so I would believe him.

[Younowkoed]

@Met666 And the Swedish/Vikings had what genetics? Normal genetics?

[Met666]

@Younowkoed Better genes than most.

[meganium154]

@Younowkoed You can't really base genetics on ancestors but Magnus' height, hair and eye colour all contribute to the assumption that he has strong family links to warriors and naturally strong and hardy men. :) 

[TheAz159143]

MAGNUS IS THE BEST

[tastefulphrasing]

There is no way his arms are only 21 inches

[Ganne5584]

Come on! You must be smoking carck if you think he is natural!

[tastefulphrasing]

@Ganne5584 Nope, it has been proven. He's passed every single drug test. So is phil pfister. Dude, look at Paul Anderson. He wasn't on juice, and he was insanely strong. You dont need juice to be crazy strong man.

[SuperOlds88]

@tastefulphrasing so your an expert on what Paul Anderson did too?

[tastefulphrasing]

@SuperOlds88 Well no I am not an expert, you are right, but considering he was competing during the 50's, it makes me think that he wasn't. I know they were around back then, but not even close as prevalent as it is now, and I'm sure it was hush hush back then. Ok, if you want to be a smart ass about this, lets go back even further , Louis Cyr, 1863 - 1912. Roids were not even brought up until the 30's. Hans Streyer, Thomas Inch, William Bankier, etc, etc, all born in the 1800's.

[SuperOlds88]

@tastefulphrasing I was only asking about Paul Anderson, was wondering how you know he wasnt using something? I dont give a shit about the other dudes. I dont think anybody has ever said you cant be strong without help. But I have to say one thing for ya, it must be nice to live in a dream world about modern times.

[Dethstarz]

the logs are at 150kg :)

[ZzDe0]

Why can't you naturally get to this level? Why isn't it not possible if you train long and hard enough? Everyone is quick to jump on the steroids just because they see someone with big muscles.

[clearlyasexyboy]

@ZzDe0 Because the gene myostatin puts an upper boundary on the amount of muscle you can carry "unassisted". Plus the human body cannot manufacture the huge amounts of testosterone required to sustain that amount of mass naturally.

[SuperOlds88]

lol, what does being a nice guy have to do with using juice? it takes a mean guy to use a syringe? lol

[stjartsmor]

@SuperOlds88 I mean he has always been strong! He benchpressed 100kgs when he was 16 years old and he had never been training before. And he also has it in his genes cause his brother Torbjörn is almost as strong as magnus!

[SuperOlds88]

@stjartsmor lots of nice athletes out there that say they are clean. Everyone says they are clean, you have to. Who is gonna admit it, and lots of them test negative even though they are using, same old game. Testing is so unfair and inconsistent. Better to just keep quiet and compete.

[tastefulphrasing]

@SuperOlds88 That is exactly the point my friend. Sam doesn't keep it quiet because he wants people to know. Only the people that are on steroids dont even bring it up.

[stjartsmor]

Magnus is a really nice guy, i am sure that he´s not using steroids.

[stjartsmor]

magnus is not on steriods! He has always been strong, he benched 100kgs when he was 16, and that was the first time he tried benchpress. He had never trained before, just been working on his familys farm.

[justsayjay]

@stjartsmor äkta svenskt råstyrka

[stjartsmor]

japp hehe :P

[thefirestorm10t]

Japp!

[acts1power]

Lionheart!!! loved the soundtrack too!

[DCYPL1OF1YESHUA]

what a champp..

[chikitabowow]

to the roidfreaks: you dont get stronger on steroids, you just boost your training. most of the muscles you get is liquid that dissapear if you stop training for just a while (Y).. get muscles fast, lose muscles fast.

[Chaaarge]

@chikitabowow it depends on what kind of steroids you use. Winstrol, for example, is known for boosting strength while allowing you to maintain a low weight

[abcwarrior88]

Svend Karlsen was an IFBB pro bodybuilder, if he wasn't on juice then he'd be the only one in 30 years who wasn't.

[TheMagnusTheRed]

If anyone thinks that Magnus or Svend juice up, they need to choke on a gun and die in a hole. Oh and WIGTRON5000 is a dumbass, just had to throw that out there.

[WIGTRON5000]

read my comment above. if you think anyone that competes at this level is natural you need to shoot yourself in the face with a sawed off shotgun. you are that much of a waste of life

[XionComrade]

@WIGTRON5000 He says he is natural...he says it alot and says it often, so you calling the man a liar? You need to be shot in the face...you have no proof against him...

[WIGTRON5000]

wow, i cant believe how many ppl think magnus is natural. fyi many european countries do not see steroids as taboo, it would be ok for him to use them. just because he doesnt look like ronnie coleman doesnt mean he isnt natural. look at all the baseball players. theyre arent all ronnie colemans and they juiced

[OMFGO]

Steroids arent a taboo in most sports, when performed at a high level...

Everybody is juicing lol, of course this guy is too.

[WIGTRON5000]

finally someone that doesnt have their head in the clouds and believes that this can be achieved naturally. i bet if it were possible to determine, any professional athlete in any sport used PEDs at some point in their career

[sjaunja92]

Swedish Power is the real deal :D

[Piringatahitu]

yea magnus is pure power he dedicated his life to being as strong as a viking would, no steroids!!!!! he only takes supplements like olympic athletes eg. Iron and calcium tablets, aswell as the protein supplements.

Another thing about magnus is that compared to the rest of the competetiors he is one of the fastest and fittest out of all of them, and thats what helped him win most of his competitions

Viking power!!!!

[Poontangist]

ha ha no steriods. Do you believe that because he said it??

[unicroon]

Of course steroids are involved...

Its not possible to be that big and strong without them

[LoveSaab900cs]

skulle inte fårvåna mig om handbromsen va i på lastbilen =)>

[MBrostroem]

If he were to take stereoids he would not look human.

YES he is clean, natural Swedish power! ;)

[Nopasaranloco]

Este tiene unos huevos de toro, compite con hernias de disco encima y todo.

[ariesnr1]

thats just plain stupid trash talking! LOL

[Emilangmo]

That's right Gigel2006 ;) .. Magnus for president

[gigel2006]

How heavy are those logs? Is it true that Magnus is the only one not juiced? That big and natural?

[Wertyz15]

i say the same thing as ronnie coleman: there is no way you can be a 150kg and have such low body fat if you are natural! just look at magnus he got like 30% :D

[XionComrade]

@gigel2006 Probably not the only one, I am sure their are several, many of these big tanks were about as big in school as they are now O.o Look at old pictures of Zydrunas and Jon Paul!

[XionComrade]

@gigel2006 Or for that matter Mariusz if you can find any, be benched over 350lbs when he was 16!

[kadfsanf]

@gigel2006 Hes natural.

[DreRasing]

@gigel2006 of course he is juiced like the rest

[dan7edan7e]

@gigel2006 fuckin steroid discussions... you guys dont know shit about professional sport or sport pharma.... chess players use pharmaceuticals for fucks sake

[williamad]

@gigel2006 Who cares :) Hes the nicest, most humble guy ever! Thats what matters to me :)

[InFlamesAddictive]

@gigel2006 He's Swedish

[MrJohanLindgren]

@gigel2006 Yes :)

[Daski69]

@gigel2006 how do you know that he's not juiced? all strongmen are

[pepparmostheelder]

@Daski69 Actually no, not all of them have taken steriods. I think that within the heavy champion body builders however all are. Atleast every body in the world series heavy class

[NYJets41]

@gigel2006 natural all the way

[imtonasty]

@gigel2006 i am almost 100% certain that svend karlsen is not on something, i mean, if you look at people on steroids or what have you, they always have so low bodyfat and are so muscular. people like svend karlsen aren't really that muscular looking he doesn't got low bodyfat either. looking past the fact that he passed a steroid test that mariusz pudziwanoski failed, i would say that svend is natrual.

[kungfujellybean]

What happened to these events? Nowadays they're completely drained of creativity.

[stjartsmor]

he is bigger now :P, he weighs about 150 kgs now :P

[Broornen]

He is 6,5foot or 6ft 7in

[Roobis]

200 cm is not 6 foot 5, it`s 6 foot 7

I bet that truck's handbrake was on aswell.

[ladyfeind]

uh you should have said viking monster! this fucking guy is the reason aliens dont come to earth him and ronnie coleman keep earth safe from aliens that would otherwise do us harm! hahaha!

[Onuund]

ronnie coleman is nothing compaired to magnus.

[oligri91]

"Hungry like the wolf" heter låten :D!

[SohanSwerneborg]

vad heter låt fan?

[dlinechamp78]

he is 39 years old

[glogglaa]

Magnus Samuelsson, was borned in 1969...so could he be over 60..hmm?

[Svenskenggr2]

He Owned then he owns now

[gjvdh]

great song for this !!!!!!!!!

[rachmedhasch]

Maybe they are 60 now :p I don't know really =)

[UrizenTheNegator]

No man, they were never over 60, if you say he's your relative, then just ask him.

[rachmedhasch]

His biceps are 65cm now :}

[UrizenTheNegator]

Where did you read that? They're 60 at most.

[rachmedhasch]

I know him? And they were 65 at least last time I met him, he is family :)

[friendofyours123]

hay!!lets pray to Jesus!

[UrizenTheNegator]

Why are you showing clips of him losing?

[rachmedhasch]

Showing clips of him from 1997, He won 1998. And getting clips of Magnus isn't that easy, if you find any please send me a message :)

[wok112]

i,m from sweden and in europe we have meter instead of foots so fore uur information his exactly 2meters tall

[gabberlurgenando]

is there a video the giant swede 2?? because this video got a number 1 ??????

[samsonprado]

between 1:37 and 2:14 he looks like Goku carrying and giant rock.

[fadordo]

Why does Svend Karlssen put the log back on the ground after every rep?? It takes way more time and strenght that way.

[rachmedhasch]

It's a rule.

[fadordo]

Why didn't Magnus do it? Or did they edit that out?

[arsenevich1]

nice man his faace like 16 years old)))))))))

[Foxador]

A true Swedish viking, raw natrual power!

[jaggeMoeller]

A true viking

[gwen76512]

badass. and fuck brad pitt.

[kakan113]

well they asked him to play in troy. but he said it woude have been gay to get killd by brad pit

[hannigan06]

Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, I just one one from Ireland.

[PhilM662]

much respect to the giant swede. he always seemed like such a nice and humble guy. I've never seen anyone else close the captains of crush 4 gripper, twice. I cant believe how long ago this was either, magnus is still pretty young, just not that young for WSM. Legend though.

[unauthorizedentry01]

This song sounds like music from an old Super-Nintendo game. But Magnus is the BEST!

[ArnoldSwarzeneggar75]

I wanted to see them lift the front of those hummers at the end.

[ArnoldSwarzeneggar75]

did those cars have engines in?

[Fixileid]

What's the song???

[Fixileid]

What's the song???

[TheAnnoyingSwede]

Now that's a REAL Swede!

[l00zekk]

His athletic, almost symetrical.

[Miiiiiiighty]

By the way 200cm is 6'6'1/2 not 6'5...

And now Magnus is more in the 335 lbs range ...

[tjabbashuhej]

he is 343lbs precisly

[flashu]

it's because Magnus is really 197 cm tall which equals 6'5.5". He was always rounded to 200 cm but his imperial listing stayed at 6'5".

[TheAnimal220]

he's actually 6'7.5"

[flashu]

No way. If You watched WSM 2000 when he is walking with Janne Virtanen(6'5") into the final event You would have noticed they are about same height there. No way he is 2.5" taller. I think he is 6'6" max.

[glcb7]

yeah i think hes 6'6" too.

[phille22]

BEAST

[JD1985]

I think that woman is Magnus' wife? She looks like more of a beast than him.

[datfuriouswon]

she will eat you :)

[dowling1981]

JD1985 - Has there been adequate portention in the tides of Voltar?

[phille22]

haha. she's been thw strongest woman in Sweden

[dagon11985]

Magnus won in 1997

[CHIIINNAAAA]

1998

[frostbeast]

nope, 1998. Jouko Ahola was the beast of 97.

[CptBloodclot]

Why was Svend cleaning the log and pressing it, and Magnus just pressing it?

Svend still beat him too...War Svend!

[Surkis]

Actually I think what it is is poor editing. It jumps forward as if to skip right to the press. I doubt the judges would let him just press it.

[Databamse]

magnus is cleaning the log and pressing it as well, it is because the author of this video has cut out the part where he takes it all the way down, for some reason i dont know why, maybe to make svend look like he is weaker. both do it, look closely, youll see what i mean..

[Reaps88]

Genie pants are cool:D

[danegarreau]

Hehe, Genie pants!!

Seriously, 97 seems to be the year that nobody knew how to dress. I mean I hate to be the fashion police but it was all horrible, If I recall Svend wore the same kind during the H-Stone Carry.

Awesome job on the music too.

[seenoneseenemall]

97? I thought it was 87 judging by the clothes. STOP! Hammer Time...
