That locked legs of Dorian in the leg press give me shivers. My knees are hurting from watching

[@adamdahlstrom2095]

Hehe was looking for this sort of comment, I 100% agree, hurts me tooo

[@StrengthUniverse]

I was thinking the same while editing the video

[@luke-kun9030]

I couldn't even look at it

[@Berserk1717]

It looks dangerous and awful but trust me it isn't actually

[@John-cena6483]

I always lock out, granted, I've only done five plates on the leg press for my sets, so maybe it's only an issue when you get real heavy, but I've never had an issue. No knee pain, no backwards bending. Just don't ego lift, go down all the way, and you'll be fine

[@toptextbottomtext3062]

Ruhl's bench form was fucking absurd. I'm not even sure if it's appropriate to call that a bench press because it looks more like a guillotine barbell fly, and to do that with close to 5 plates is inhuman.

[@baldymagoo]

On form alone, Dorian hands down wins.

[@reshi1037]

Schwer und falsch

[@Pantelifts10]

Interesting comparison. Both mass monsters and heavy trainers

[@Isumaninja]

The "Stupid Bingus" in your monotone style killed me lol. Love all your vids

[@Bavarian_Lifting]

Dorian definitely did NOT bench 500x8😂 he barely got 405x5 on incline, that doesnt make any sense

[@StrengthUniverse]

I have doubts but he did say he used 160 dbs for shoulder press and did flys with 120lbs both of which are verified with videos or photos so who knows, maybe he got stronger later in his career?

[@Mahmoud12324]

The footage in the video before his blood and guts video , he is not the same size , I don't believe him specially when say (like) 500

[@Mahmoud12324]

How ever it doesn't matter I will never be able to hit that weight 😂😂

[@StrengthUniverse]

Thanks. Johnnie v Ronnie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXmpq4R6hNVnqKM

[@up-statestrong4451]

Markus Ruhl's bench press form is very scary. It almost looks like a Guillotine Press when you come right under the chin instead of lowering the weight lower to your ribcage. I cant believe he never tore his pecs.

[@Schmandgrab]

He actually did tear his pec which led him to retire. It was a slow process,first notice by a photographer, but got worse over time.

[@Schmandgrab]

He stated himself that he would press with a different form if he could go back and change things.

[@Sthiwatari]

Two legends in one video ❤

[@theeclecticlifewithsam]

Nice. I've been a big fan of Marcus for years. Timing is everything with how far a bodybuilder can progress in his placings. Dorian came up at the right time as Haney's reign was closing. Marcus had to deal with Jay, Ronnie, Nasser and others when he was coming up. The competition was deeper for him, IMO. Great video of two amazing competitors! 👍

[@dj_m19]

you're in denial, Dorian's competition throughout the 90s was steeper than what Marcus had to deal with. Every single name except for Jay saw their primes during the 90s. When was Nasser at his best? 1996 and 1997 when he was placing in the top 3. Not afterwards. When was Shawn Ray at his best? 94 and 96. When was Levrone at his best? around '95. Flex? 93. These same people were placing top 2 and 3 during Ronnie's era as well, but they weren't in their primes anymore, except for Cutler whose first Olympia was in '99 and Yates was already retired.

nice video brother

Cybex leg press and hack seem harder to train with than some other makes. They did compete on the same stage

Dorian retired in 1997, the same year Markus won his pro card.

Do Kyle vs itsadreamworld plz

[@kalzonenu]

Steeper angle=more force Dorian win I would also argue that skipping the bottom part of a military press makes it dramaticly more easy. So does a smithmachine. Also Ruhls inclined bench is more of a normal bench when you lift your ass off like that.

[@Babukhan-j4g]

Dorian wins

[@jurandgarbuszkin]

Raul 237 kg na barki 6 reps?? Maiał barki silniejsze od klatki?? Jak dobrze zrozumiałem to 210 kg na klatkę i 237 na barki.Jeśli dobrze zrozumiałem to poznałem pierwazy taki przypadek. 😊Pozdrawiam.

[@giuseppelucido5780]

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES , VERSUS 4EVER!!!💪

[@mauricejenkins2819]

First of all with a Smith machine as you said you’re not doing that true weight that’s on the bar because of the counterbalance! But I also think more important is the fact that you do not have to your self balance the load as you move it ,it (which may be bad) has a predetermined bar path prior to you even attempt the movement! And I enjoy listening to your post not only for the history and comparisons, but your accent is cool dude💪

[@rexdaugherty1987]

Markus for the leg press

[@TheCaliRhino]

Nah, those hand assists on the knees is a major boost. I was leg pressing 1000 pounds last year for reps & the hands on the knees makes it way easier.

[@hanswinkler8014]

[@PiTeKCraft]

@@hanswinkler8014 def my thoughts

[@tjrocha7732]

I made it

[@billj4525]

Full range of motion with on leg press with 1500 is way way harder than the short range of motion with 2094 as well. I have seen Ruls use close to rull range of motion and 1100 pound was challenging for him. You can't compare lifts with completely different ranges of motion. A lot of these lifts are just wrong.

[@StrengthUniverse]

As per the commentary, differences in grip, ROM, form and equipment are all highlighted

[@robranko5931]

Dorian is d best but 8 reps of 500lbs??????????????????????

[@billj4525]

That wasn't even lose to 518 on the shoulder press. Watch the actual video and look at the plates, and it's like just over 3 plates a side. The guy who made the video saying over 500 originally was lying or just had no clue. I have seen the video and counted the weight.

[@StrengthUniverse]

I've been training for almost 4 decades and speak to many of the athletes so saying I'm "lying or just had no clue" is just plan disrespectful. Here is the original video. You can clearly see 3 x blue (20kg each) and 3 x yellow (15kg each) per side plus the weight of the bar. Please feel free to count the plates yourself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqfKm3SBpL97fcU

[@adamrojas8547]

Markus all the way

[@billj4525]

His legs were strong, but he actually wasn't that strong for his size. It's pretty obvious when you watch him working out. I mean it's pretty obvious Marcus couldn't bench that 463 without a spotter and lifting his body off the bench. Is he really strong? Well obviously yet, but just not super strong like a Ronnie Coleman. There are other guys stronger, many.

[@kckubinski5621]

Dorian was 5ft9 Markus 5ft10.5 Marcus was way bigger and stronger uncrowned Mr Olympia! Best of all time markus!

[@StrengthUniverse]

Dorian is certainly more than 5'9.

[@joebot9309]

Marcus had much better legs

[@itsnotfunny8257]

Lol his hams and glutes we're soft asf compared to yates.

[@r2edali637]

dorian yates real height is 5'8 not 5'11.

[@StrengthUniverse]

Your Opinion. I like facts

[@Bigbencher]

Dorian lifted the weights himself...I don't know what Markus was doing on occasion

[@marcstarc]

Almost every lift shown is assisted. No real powerhouses imo.

[@StrengthUniverse]

They are all hands on that makes the point in which they receive assistance very hard to judge.

[@Faktantarkastaja]

Every lift was helped, not any clean lift

[@StrengthUniverse]

Spotters were very hands on for both athletes

[@Geckoliga]

I'd give it all to Dorian, cause of heavy weights and very good technique. Markus was/is still overrated: heavy stageweight small condition; heavy workweights small technique. 😘😊

[@MinionTomato1]

If Dorian had sloppy for him, I’m sure he could bench a lot more. His form is textbook making it more difficult, but still stronger than Marcus.

[@theotherchannel2028]

with 150x6 seated press you ain't pressing 227 8 times on the bench mate, no way

[@StrengthUniverse]

There is no equation for carry over of an individuals strength from a shoulder press to bench press.

[@theotherchannel2028]

@@StrengthUniverse yes but there is common sense, and also the gym experience

[@StrengthUniverse]

@@theotherchannel2028 I've got plenty of both but I wouldn't dare to assume what someone could bench press based on there overhead press. Some people, genetically aren't very good at overhead
