[@Dennis19901]

@@jdillon575 That's not how momentum works. In fact, the "momentum" argument makes it more impressive. Because you need to slow down the downward momentum with your body, and apply an upward force again for an upward momentum. And the faster you change this momentum, the more force you require.

[@emsoumelgmail]

Let me tell you some things about Kyriakos. I studied in his town (Kavala) from 2000 to 2005 and I used to trained with him for a short period of time in JKD. Back then he was half of what he is now but still a really big man. He told me that he was practicing Kick-boxing before(don't remember for how long) and turned into JKD. When I started out he was there for a year or so.. He was fast for his size and he used to pair up with another fast guy for the sparing. One time there was no other beginner at the dojo except me so I had to spar with him. So now I can gladly say that I was punched in the face by the Grizzly. His fist was the same size with my face. I quitted JKD school after 2-3 months (big mistake) but he continued. I saw him again 1-2 years after at the bowling center (he worked as security there) and he told me that bythen he learned how to kill the opponent, he even demonstrated to me some stuff (scary shit). After 15 years I found out that he is famous as the heavylifter Grizzly. Good guy..

[@thespokenword6456]

After watching these, it strikes me that the Grizzly is actually stronger than I thought he was. His form is actually superior to several lifts here. The Dumbell curls were astonishing, especially compared to Magnus, who used his whole body to do them. Bibby’s ‘Bent over rows’ were largely a short deadlift/dip combo. His last raises were staggering. That’s seated press was simply incredible. Plus, the Grizzly is older than all of them. People laugh and joke because he does some ‘out there’ things, but he is genuinely, truly strong.

[@scotttaylor9133]

People that harp on form are people that are trying to avoid that next bicep tear (perhaps because they've had one or something similar). Those injuries aren't a badge of honor, they're a sign that things aren't great. That long list of injuries ALREADY HAS reduced his total career length/ how long he can do this (he just still has enough left to keep going, eventually he will not unless he's a real anomaly). The reason I will likely never get close to many of my fitness goals (as with everyone as they age and accumulate injuries) has a lot more to do with recovery time between minor injuries than effort on any one workout. They aren't saying he isn't strong or hasn't achieved something impressive, but rather that your average youtube watcher SHOULD NOT follow those footsteps or use this as an example, because we all know where they lead at some point (even for him, sorry for the negative prognostication).

No lie, he's doing these exercises better than the people you're comparing him to.

He beat Biby at the bent-over rows (many dudes that do BOR at 500+ lbs cheat like a mf and get no contraction at the top), while Grizzly was actually pulling the weight cleanly from the blocks to his stomach with full contraction. He definitely beat Magnus at the cheat reps, Grizzly handled those dumbbells. Same for the lateral raises. Heavier weight, just as strict form. He's got serious muscle under that fat, and he's only a meme because of the outlandish exercises he does.

@@StrengthUniverse my dude, look at his muscle snatches. 130 kg for 6 solid REAL reps. Lasha has done 150 for 3? That to me beats all the others, even though your picks are great too.

[@Andreas16375]

180kg seated press too. Much more rom than just parallel

[@Oyashio202]

Imagine being able to cheat curl even 200lbs. 308lbs? Dude has thrusting power of Olympic athletes.

[@jooot_6850]

Just look at him kickbox. One lazy leg kick and his partner was nearly buckling over from it

Let him get a grip on you and then you'll know who's the joke. I wouldn't want to be on his bad side.

[@WeAreAllRob]

Before watching this video I had my doubts but now I’m certain he’s quite strong and I can see why all those younger athletes he trains with admire his strength. Seeming him pull more reps with more weights on a comparable lift to Ronnie and look less tried after floored me. Weight = FULL

[@patricknoll81]

Those pull ups were legit impressive, especially at 400+

Holy cow almost 400 on seated press, and from a dead position too.

[@g-man2507]

Such a great video ... this never gets old.

[@Fr33zy159]

The really nuts thing about his ROM is he's stated in several comments that he's blown out tendons multiple times. He does unconventional lifts and such because of that. Still absolutely impressive he was able to bounce back and do shit he loves.

[@silatguy]

His cheat curls are up there among the strongest in the world, good pullups....probably the best pullups at 400lbs or so that I have ever seen, also his 398 pin press is a very awkward lift.....not like a pin press from a bench and still he finishes the rep in about half a second.....he is very explosive and deceptively strong. I honestly believe if he cared to change them as well a lot of his partial lifts-rows, squats etc would be very similar in numbers done strictly maybe just taking a rep or two away and in their own way are difficult. Who does continuous tension bodybuilding style squats with 700 for reps? As is seen in the Jujimufu video.....let anyone on earth try to match his partial reps or weird lifts...good luck!

[@rccosplay3249]

This has to be one of the best videos I saw this year! great job and narration. My kind of content💖

Those lateral raises are LEGIT! Almost 80LBS damn

[@Apex_grind562]

This dude is damn strong. His form is better than the other guys including ronnie Coleman. Bad form and swing , this dude is still a powerhouse. That shoulder press off the bottom rack was the craziest.

[@marcoflores6610]

Well made video. Definitely took a lot of time and effort to find comparable lifts. 🙌🙌

Thanks Marco

[@chuckbradley9614]

How many of those guys that you compared Grizzly to can do the full splits? Grizzly can, he’s extremely strong but also very flexible. Think about how strong he could be with the proper coaching.

[@darkchild130]

Dude can benchpress a truck and kick you in the head, truly terrifying

[@Madchris8828]

Actually for him having as many injuries as he supposedly has, coupled with him being over 40, dude is crazy impressive. I commend him on his efforts. Very cool! But this dude would look even crazier if he dieted down

[@TheBigSheepS]

Best video ever to make him justice! P.s. i comment now but i have seen the video many times.

That seated press he started from the bottom. That's honestly pretty damn impressive

[@Chavacano]

when he screamed my pet cat ran out of the room...

[@traveldude7028]

I really want him to compete at some event. The jokes, while funny af, make light of his amazing feats of strength. I kinda feel like Kyriakos does not get the recognition he deserves, as he does have some lifts on world/Olympic level. As his technique is quite bad in some ares, due to injury, it shines with other lifts. Underrated guy.

[@marioduron4376]

It was a very enjoyable experience with the excellent bass background muse! I am a big fan of the unorthodox weight lifter Grizzly!

[@StrengthUniverse]

Great to hear! I hope you have been ok, haven't seen you in the comments for a while.

[@marioduron4376]

@@StrengthUniverse I really couldn't complain. Ever since I got the 70" smart TV I have mainly just given a like 👍 I'm doing great. I have everything that I need to get strong and massive! I'm out here in Oregon country, only three miles from a grocery store. Not bad location, I'm situated at a corner of a sometimes very busy Crossway with one direction stopping at a stop sign. There haven't been as many wrecks since installing a light. If you ever wanted to visit or move to Oregon, maybe you could check it out. See what we are working with out here! Oregon is actually a pretty massive state. It's actually about 80 percent federally protected wildlife preserve. And I'm my county, Washington County we actually have what is termed, "an infinite water shed". It means we won't run out of water. But we still do need to be water conscious. The water out here actually is some of the best quality in the world. A lot of breweries recognized this. And there is a top Sake maker out in Forest Grove, Oregon. My brother is a head beer brewer out in Astoria Oregon. There is plenty of decent brew! Cheer's from Oregon country!

Hey, could you do a video of how strong Leonidas Arkona is. He is very young and super strong.

[@tskarzyn]

You know the dude is strong when we have to compare his lifts to top tier bodybuilders and strength athletes. As someone mentioned, "bouncy" strength is also scary af to deal with in a combat sport setting.

[@GrampaCramps]

I think what impresses me so much every time is how fluid and flawless the motion is with so many of his lifts. His weight and rom aside, he manages gargantuan weight with ease. Man's a monster.

He did do that seated press from a dead stop, that’s impressive
