terry todd is dead so that probably put a stop to it.

[@titansideshowstrongman7243]

Fantastic! I am a Circus Strongman and it was these guys (saxon, cyr) that inspired me to what I am today!

[@justinward7189]

Thank you so much for these videos.. love them all.. shows what is possible without the drugs and all the other modern BS.. the old time masters are the best, train like a greats of the past.. not like drug ridden joke that bodybuilding and weightlifting has become now days.

Arthur Saxon - A True legend! Bring the „Saxon Press“ back!

[@IsaacMorgan98]

I hope after you watched this you started your own practice!

[@mevsgravity7287]

This is awesome. Saxon/Hennig was an incredible strong person. Just crazy to see what they lifted even 100 years ago. Thanks for this documentary.

[@apocm6784]

The best strongman of his time! This is going to be interesting, been waiting for a good video about Arthur Saxon

[@ddw-ge1ss]

These are important for all teens (which I am) to see, so they can understand you don’t need steroids to have amazing bodies and strength. in some cases, strength that has been unmatched with people who do steriods.

[@konradkubala51]

You need to remeber they're freaks of their times

[@OklahomaNative]

@@konradkubala51 freaks who were still without the aid of steroids, supplements, or warehouses full of engineered strength equipment. The only thing they did have that most of us today don't is actual, truly organic and non-gmo foods. I have to think that is part of how they were able to accomplish these amazing feats. All the strongman guys of today are FAT, but these old-school guys accomplished extreme strength while maintaining incredibly low body fat. Its amazing they were able to accomplish the bodies and strength they did totally natural, "freaks" or not.

[@ToddMerey]

Great job team Rogue! These old-time documentaries you make are totally amazing. It is so inspiring, historical, tribute-paying. Thank you. Keep it up. I would love to see a documentary about Doug Hepburn.

[@philwhite5489]

Stellar production yet again. Love this series, particularly the one focused on Scotland.

[@fartestry5522]

Please do Louis Cyr next I love this series thank you Rogue

[@EmmeStAnne]

I never heard of this man. He is amazing and I am greatly inspired as a woman. People in strength past and present are AMAZING!

[@twistedtrailerparktales2126]

Hit like before it started. Thank you so much I was foaming at the mouth waiting for Saxon

[@DasGonz13]

I love these documentaries. I like many people have no respect for these oldetime strength athletes.

[@ATomRileyA]

Would you do one on Hermann Georner he went to the same club as Arthur Saxon and was crazy strong too although less talked about. At Dresden on 25 July 1920, Görner lifted the enormous weight of nearly 200 kg (440 lb) overhead in the Two Hands ‘Anyhow’ style, performing the feat with four kettleweights in the following manner. He first swung with the right hand to arms length, two kettleweights, one weighing 110 1⁄4 pounds (50.0 kg). and the other 99 1⁄4 pounds (45.0 kg). Still holding the bells overhead, he then bent down and picked up with the left hand a third kettleweight weighing 110 1⁄4 pounds (50.0 kg), which he then swung to arms length and transferred to the thumb of the right hand. Then, still holding the three kettleweights overhead in his right hand, he lowered his body carefully and with the left hand picked up the fourth kettleweight, which he slowly swung to arms length. The combined weight then held overhead for the referee’s court was, as has been stated, no less than 430 English pounds, or 195.5 kilograms. Still has the one hand deadlift to this day which is really impressive.

[@Boxer7911]

The GOAT of Bent Press ! The record stands to this day.

What does GOAT stand for?

Absolutely. Why he’s my fav!

[@Warren775s6]

You mean the Saxon Press world record holder?

[@harleymeza1392]

Sad that no one talk about this legendary man and no one do the bent press in mainstream strongman competitions my PR is 46 kilos with a barbell when i was 21 about 3 years ago. rest in peace arthur i will never forget your legacy

[@Zincink]

This was very interesting - Thanks for sharing this gem.

[@flooo5071]

The most impressive thing is that these strongmen don't have outrageously big muscles (like current strongmen), very efficient muscle fibers I think...

[@flabio7074]

Florian Lorin they just lived before the advent of steroids. Those are what natural lifters actually look like.

[@FerociousMatti]

Superior Tendons, Ligaments & Bones Strength, my friends! 😎👊💪

[@janlibourel7803]

That Sandow prevailed over Saxon in that lawsuit, from all I know, strikes me as a travesty of "British Justice." Wasn't there some evidence that Sandow had engaged in witness tampering?

[@igalflint]

I wish someday you'll honor a real strongman from Australia, Don Athaldo!

[@ИгорьБах]

Hello Rogue Please do about the fighter and strongman Ivan Poddubny His life and history requires attention

[@Silentknight052]

Insane this is all done naturally

[@h.t.angelripper]

Such a sad end to the Iron Master. It's a shame his gravesite was lost too.

[@yername31]

Thank you to whomever put this here! reminds me of my kinesiology college days studying the history of sport and training

[@OklahomaNative]

I love these documentaries soooo much!!!!!! So awesome to watch. Incredibly inspirational and motivating. Please produce more, Rogue!!! PLEASE!!!

[@hellonieman]

a true legend. thank you for giving Arthur the respect he deserves.

[@Solaris741]

Holy crap, what an inspirational documentary! Thank you for making this and sharing it. I've been playing around with the bent press for the last 6 months, and it's nice to connect this lift with the story of one of the old-time greats, perhaps the greatest. Awesome effort with this film.

[@slapndbass]

I always thought Eugene Sandow was not strong but just a showman. What a mens physique competitor. Just a dude with abs and smooth muscles. That Saxon guy and car those were true strongmen

[@oxtheunlikelycontemplator2682]

That's not a fair assessment. Yes he was a showman but people forget that strongman shows were very niche and you had to be something of a showman to come up with feats that people could relate to but still awe at (as was stated in the video) but the man legitimately set world records and he's still come closer than anyone else to equaling Saxon's bent press Sandow's highest officiated weight for that lift was 330 pounds and it was 360 for Saxon. That's pretty damn close to be saying Samdow was all show and Saxon was the genuine article. It took a young George Hackenschmidt to break Sandow's record for the one hand overhead press. And George had any where from 15 to 20 lbs. of muscle on Sandow.

[@TAKEYDO]

Please do a review of Tylla-Berry, he is a strength athlet from that times too, together with saxon trio and stuff. His stunts were phenomenal. Big rocks were destroyed on his head or he pulls a truck with 40 people on it just with his mouth. Hope we can see it here in the future :O)

[@Jgm-gm9wi]

These documentaries are simply astounding. I know and respect the fact that Terry Todd is no longer with us, but I hope to see more episodes in tribute to him as well as the other legends of strength.

[@maryhand9700]

What a sad end to an amazing character. Beautifully presented - thank you 😊

[@CAPTAINLEGZ]

im taking the world record in the bent press someday my goal is 405 and a 275 lb turkish get up

[@strengthhistory1936]

Arthur unofficial record was 409Ibs and Official Record was 375.

[@strengthhistory1936]

16:16 he lifted 336Ibs with one arm, with control not even strongman nowadays could replicate that feat with a bent body.

[@CAPTAINLEGZ]

@@strengthhistory1936 actually on (on December 12th,1905) he bent pressed 371 lbs with his right hand at Stuttgart which is his official record . And in the year 1906 at the school of William Bankier (Apollo) in London's West End, Saxon put up 386 lbs--on the third attempt--using a thoroughly awkward arrangement consisting of a barbell with various kettlebells tied to each end, at a bodyweight of 205 lbs. Although not an official lift, it was witnessed by Bankier, 'Health and Strength' editor John Murray, Wilhelm "Bill" Klein, and Saxon's brothers, Hermann and Kurt. So 371 lbs is his best offical bent press and 386 is his best unofficial bent press

[@AAKASHKUMAR-ij2yj]

Very good documentry ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@joshuaowen6185]

A fantastic series and looking forward to the Terry Todd episode. I hope future episodes show Jan Todd, Louis Cyr and Donald Dinnie to name a few

[@lordmegatron6145]

An amazing video. well done to who made this.. all of you.. of course Terry Todd rest in peace Sir.. Arthur Saxon you too.. In my opinion your 370 lb bent press was the greatest lift in history.. No one never ever beat this.. NEVER.. God bless all of you..

[@luisbauer78]

Gaman Pehlwan and his Grave | گاماں پہلوان اور اسکی گمنام قبر | #Vlogumentary | Saad Zahid گاماں کا مختصر تعارف: “رستمِ زماں” گاماں پہلوان کا اصل نام غلام محمد بخش تھا اور انکا تعلق امرتسر سے تھا۔ وہ قدیم فنِ پہلوانی کے بانیوں میں سے تھے۔ 1910ء کو انہیں جنوبی ایشیائی سطح پر ورلڈ ہیوی ویٹ چیمپئن شپ کے اعزاز سے نوازا گیا تھا۔ مہاراجہ آف دتیہ گاماں کو روزانہ 2 بکرے، 3 سیر مکھن، 6 گیلن دودھ، 3 ٹوکریاں پھل، اور 20 پاؤنڈ بادام کی سردائی فراہم کرتا تھا۔ وہ روزانہ 5000 بیٹھکیں اور 3000 ڈنڈ لگاتا تھا۔ انکا چھوٹا بھائی امام بخش قد کے لحاظ سے ان سے لمبا تھا۔ سنہ 1910 میں ایک شخص گاما اور امام بخش کو اپنے ساتھ یورپ لے گیا اور یہاں انکا مقابلہ "زبسکو" نامی ایک پولش پہلوان سے ہوا جسے ہرا کر انہیں ’رستم زماں‘ (ورلڈ ہیوی ویٹ چیمپئن شپ) کا خطاب ملا۔ سنہ 1947 میں گاما پہلوان کا خاندان لاہور کے علاقے موہنی روڈ پر منتقل ہو گیا۔ مشہور زمانہ مارشل آرٹ کھلاڑی اور اداکار بروس لی بھی گاماں پہلوان سے متاثر تھے، انھوں نے اپنی کتاب ’دی آرٹ آف ایکسپریسنگ ہیومن باڈی‘ میں گاما پہلوان کی ورزش کا تفصیلی ذکر کیا ہے۔ اسکے علاوہ سڑریٹ فائٹر گیم میں ڈارن مسٹر (Darun Mister) کا کردار بھی گاما پر بنایا گیا ہے۔ گاماں کی گمنام قبر: گاماں 23 مئی 1960 کو اس دنیا سے رخصت ہوئے۔ انھیں لاہور میں پیر مکی مزار کے قریب قبرستان میں دفن کیا گیا۔ یہ مختصر سا قبرستان آج مکمل طور پر آبادی میں گھر چکا ہے۔ اس کے دروازے پر تالہ لگا ہوا ہے، اسی باعث آپکو دیوار پھلانگ کر اندر جانا پڑتا ہے۔ بالکل سامنے ہی آپکو رستم زماں گاماں پہلوان اور انکے چھوٹے بھائی امام بخش پہلوان کی قبریں نظر آتی ہیں۔ گاماں کی قبر پر سورت رحمان کی یہ آیات لکھی گئی ہیں : ۔۔ كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَیْهَا فَانٍۚۖ(۲۶)وَّ یَبْقٰى وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو الْجَلٰلِ وَ الْاِكْرَامِۚ(۲۷) جبکہ کتبے پر ایک نظم پڑھی جاسکتی ہے: اٹھ گیا آج وہ شہزور غیور تھا زمانے میں جو رستم مشہور جس کے اک پنجہ فولاد کی ضرب توڈ دیتی تھی شجاعوں کا غرور وطنِ پاک کا فن کار عظیم اسکے فن کا ہے جہاں میں مذکور وہ نہیں زندہ مگر ذندہ ہے اسکی تعلیم ، ہنر، اس کا شعور دوسری جانب امام بخش کی قبر پر سورت فاتحہ دیکھی جاسکتی ہے۔ بدقسمتی سے ماضی کے ان عظیم پہلوانوں کی قبریں عقبی جانب سے کھل چکی ہیں جن کے باعث ان میں باقاعدہ طور پر بارش کا پانی داخل ہو رہا ہے۔ ۔۔۔۔۔۔😢👆🏿😢

He is buried in Duisburg, Germany, and there was a headstone placed on his grave by his admirers. However, the cemetery was bombed during WWII and the marker is now gone.

[@jakelm4256]

You need to do an episode on Zuver's Gym. The son of Bob Zuver helped create the famous plates, and he has a ton of first hand knowledge and private photos of the gym. You ought to get in touch with him because he would probably be on board.
