[@tribunaldude]

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

[@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.

i'm one of the 3.5 also. i was cracking up on this one. the AAAAAUUUUUGHGHHHhaaaaAAA!!! and that slow clap near the end from one of the other dudes in his gym.

[@litterbox2010]

The reason he lifts like he does is because he's had injuries so his range of motion is limited. He does what he can, and he does the hell out of it.

[@LiamR90]

It's the chicken or the egg debate. What came first, the poor form or the injuries.

[@MP-mz7un]

@@LiamR90he used to be an olympic lifter and he got his injuries at that time.

One of the funniest vids of yours man. Damn good

[@vecihihurkus2223]

This is by far the most hilarious video of yours Dr.Mike .

[@farnirs88]

I seriously haven laughed so hard in months. That joke about going to Walmart and asking a 400 pound man how many pull ups can he do was just too funny.

[@bvdh9071]

Went hiking in the greek mountains in northern Greece once. The monks in the monastery told me about the many bear howls they hear during the waking of the day between dusk and dawn rolling down from the mountain tops followed by minutes of total ear deafening silence by all the wildlife, truly gruesome. One night i woke up early and heard the exact sounds you hear at 6:45, turns out it wasn't a bear, but this effin legend. The monks called an entire region after his howls now known as Agios Kyriakos.

You guys should do a collab with armwrestler Devon Larratt. He has some *interesting* ideas about training and is both intentionally and unintentionally hilarious.

[@rlanderson3]

Second this

I agree

That would actually be very interesting. Love Devon

18:45 "Dump. Victory." At some point after 30 every man says this to himself leaving the bathroom in the morning.

[@wipriel9460]

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

[@signs80]

Off the top of my head he's torn his tricep, quads on both sides and I think both biceps

[@liamengram6326]

He was an OLY lifter.

The editing on Kyriakos' videos is great. Scottos the Greek video guy did a good job.

[@apocratos0174]

15:18 The point of those jumps is to show how mobile he is for a man that size. Try yourself hold dumbbell/bars with a total weight 200kg (your body weight + dumbbell weight) and jump like him; you will see that its not that easy.

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.

[@anthonyhelmer2790]

The transformation can start with a Grizzly roar and ends in a bear roar!

[@Shawn-eb9wo]

or is he actually a bear that transformed into a human............

[@kartikayysola]

In these trying times, when everyone is having the great debate about Man vs Bear, they did not know that there was in fact a way to choose both.

bro you're so silly but so awesome and educational 😂

[@Iceisaboss]

You can still learn a lot from THE GIZZLY, the power to train hard, for yourself, your own goals, having gone through multiple injuries it seems to me the way he trains might be the only way to keep improving, THE GRIZZLY is a symbol of perseverance and strength

[@Xplora213]

He’s a dangerous example of genetics overcoming the programming. He’s a beast but my body will be in hospital trying to pursue what he is doing.

[@joshuaconklin8378]

​@@Xplora213 Apparently he's had several pretty bad injuries and I think it's clear why. Even genetics won't account for flagrant abuse.

[@BGeezy4sheezy]

That’s a great point. He’s had really serious injuries, but managed to find a way to train that is gratifying to him. Fulfillment is the whole goal, and what that looks like is dependent on the person

i like how he's joking but also giving the dude some props also. I mean his lifts are wild but the dude is obviously very strong at his age.
