Eddie Hall, Brian Shaw, Bugenhagen and oddly Jujimufu are literally the (only?) ones who truly understand the Grizzly's approach to "strength". As an aging, severely injured bouncer in a rough Kavala nightclub, his goal is to be able to rip a human being's head off if needed. He trains to be comfortable being uncomfortable (toughness) and exchanges kicks and blows with professional kickboxers and stays unfazed, and then asks 600 pound benchers to try and push him around. Strength is usually context dependent, but the Grizzly's strength is "without context". Now get the fact that his tricep tendon is torn (as his bicep and quad) he does'nt have money for the full set of surgeries so he can now only move in certain ways. Also too bad people CHOOSE not to react to his 180 kilo seated overhead barbell PIN press from clavicle height lol. the YT "lifting" community is overrun with short incels dictating strength and aesthetics to other short incels. Comedy

[@rzb113]

I remember American gymrat youtubers giving Arm wrestlers shit for their weird training methods several years back before Larry Wheels made their training mainstream. I think everyone likes to view something through their own personal "lens".

[@scotthogan1386]

I wonder why his tricep, bicep and quad is torn. Maybe because he started doing dumb shit like this? You can get the toughness and shit doing conventional and more beneficial lifts than this shit whilst also being safer

[@thesnailshow8004]

Lemme guess a short dude fuxked your girl huh.?

[@tribunaldude]

@@scotthogan1386 Basically he was on the Greek national olympic lifting team and had to quit due to torn quads. His bicep injury is directly due to his heavy cheat curls (imo). His tricep tear is from the aforementioned seated 180kg or 400 pound shoulder press from clavicle (which is a very high risk movement especially with that kind of ridiculous weight). His high pulls, pull-ups and sled pushes/pulls are stupidly heavy but dont seem to bother him. He needs to keep training and maintain his "real world" strength due to his profession. His "zercher shrugs" seem to be a way for him to build intra abdominal pressure under strain (similar to Dan John's philosophy from back in the day), risk potential not sure. Using IAP and the stretch reflex are the foundation of athletic strength.

⁠@@lecobra418 if you exercise enough, you basically only gain subcutaneous fat (the layer directly under the skin).

I had never seen a human, who liked like he could actually transform into a bear at any moment, until I saw Kyriakos. If I was a videogame designer I would definitely want to out either Grizzly himself or a character that paid a homage to him in the game.

I think i heard that kyriakos used to do more conventional full ROM lifts but has gotten a fucked body from it. He now does what he can despite it. He is probably the man who loves lifting the most on the planet. Not to get ripped, not really to get strong, but mostly for the fun of moving heavy ass weights. Really beautiful when you think about it. PURE WEIGHT LIFTING

[@N3onDr1v3]

I read this with the vince mcmahon meme

[@Wolfuskaktus]

this is a copy paste but i decided to comment that. He has a tricep tendon torn off the bone and can't do pressing exercises anymore. So he has to do things like zercher front raises to train shoulders. Regular front raises have way higher leverage and you can't go heavy enough to train your torso muscles maximally so he uses these more often. He is using an Olympic weightlifting bar that has lots of whip so it flops everywhere when you move it with heavy weight on it and messes up your tempo. He eventually realized it was easier to just get the maximal level of bar whip started and go with that tempo instead of trying to resist it. Does it make the lift easier? Yeah. But he counters that by using more weight than he would use on a stiffer powerlifting type of bar. It looks dumb but he's found it's the best way to train them with the type of bar he has at his gym. Gotta keep in mind it's still 370kg too. Regardless of form and bar whip that's crazy. He also does do zercher shrugs, range if motion is low in what we usually see but he mostly uploads his heaviest sets, his ones leading up to that have greater range of motion. He just keeps adding weight as he can throughout the workout until he can barely do what he finds to be an acceptable approximation of the lift he's training. Given that he trains almost exclusively pulls it's really not the worst or unsafest method for strength training.
