How is he both a joke and stronger than 99.9% of ppl? Dude is weird, but he's an absolute unit. Imagine picking a fight with him inside an elevator, he'd split your wig.
@@666specter666 He also has flexibility enough that he can kick your body clean as well and i don't really know how well can he transfer his weight through his kicks but if he can even transfer enough force and add a few of his pounds then i say your ribs doesnt stand a chance. He can punch as well like bruhh i think he'd hit the soul with those punches. He can wrestle too, 1 can you even move once he's on top of you and 2 if you can even move once he gets his hands on you. Raw strength alone? Dude's fast for his size as well.

@@joshuaconklin8378He was an olympic lifter back in the day as I understand it, but got a ton of injuries that basically limits his possible range of motion and movements. What we are graciously given to behold is his ways of circumventing these injuries to train anyway.
The pull-ups are genuinely crazy impressive. Moving 400 pounds like that is insane! As a pull ups guy myself it’s awe-inspiring. I challenge anyone to try and do a single weighted pull up with the equivalent weight
I've seen FAR worse pull ups in countless crossfit videos from guys that are a quarter of this dude's weight. Imagine if Mike got his hands on him and got him lifting properly...dude would be unstoppable.
I have his screaming as a ring tone to my phone. The guy is a legend. 49 years old, multiple injuries and he still lifts insane weights. Huge respect for the mighty Bloatloard.

Basically no one in a Globo gym can even do a walkout with 500lbs. If you can shrug 500lbs you're one of the strongest guys there and that includes the tall, big guys.
Apparently, Kyriakos Grizzly has had a lot of injuries and is now limited to short ROM. Brian Shaw tried to do the partial Zercher shrugs with less weight than Kyriakos Grizzly uses and found them very challenging. Kyriakos Grizzly is very strong!
@@mr.doctorcaptain1124ehh not idiotic he was a world record power lifter, he probably would feel depressed if he could only lift lightweight because of his injuries so he wants to do as much weight as he can in a safe way for his injuries
Can we get a Dr. Mike and Grizzly workout collab??? Dr. Mike: "Okay, first is hack squats. We're going to control the eccentric, do full ROM, and pause at the bottom." Kyriakos Grizzly: *"ARRRRRRGUHHH GRAWRRRRRR AHHHHHHH"* *throws hack machine at the wall*
Imagine somebody fails a +700lbs squat attempt, freaking Kyriakos could catch the bar with his forearms like nothing. That +900 lbs zerch grip is a feat of strength on itself.
5:42 - 5:48 is legit meme. I am downloading and cutting it. I don't even care. Then you can just add something you're talking about in the ''you're looking at it'' and voila.. you have entertainment for ages.
jokes aside he was a serious weightlifter (hence the freaky mobility) and trains in the way he does largely due to injury, he has torn the tendons in both knees and that squat is actually his max depth.
I think he posted an old photo of him doing a crazy Olympic lift full ROM when he was in his 30s or so. It's no wonder how he can throw up over his head 2+ plates. Even just holding on to some of that weight he displays is an unbelievable strength feat.
i am truly grateful that grizzly has bestowed us with his inexplicably divine presence. it is something that cannot be explained by something as simple as words- even the most elegantly spoken words would not come close to what grizzly gave us in this video
it is just water. neptun himself blessed him with excess water in his veins and muscles. and he has just thick skin, kinda like hippo or elephant, but thicker...
say what you want. I'm not a small man, but I surely cannot lift the half weight he carries. I'm about 82 kg, and I can do about 15-20 pull-ups. but the fact that he can make even one pull up with his weight is unbelievable
He is the best at odd lifts in the modern age for sure. Brian Shaw has a video of him trying these exercises and not even he gets the numbers on the heavy hitters like the greek god
Unironically I think Grizzly has given us the data on just how powerful you can get from bloatmaxxing. To be his size with a decent amount of muscle underneath makes you capable of some insane things, but it's gonna be more unconventional lifts where it shines the most
I'm 225 and can do pull ups full range of motion with a pause at top and a hang at the bottom for 4 reps then I have to rest arms for a few seconds to do more reps. Can get 14 reps done in under 5 minutes though last night it took me 7 minutes because exhausted. @@fritzyberger
M'LORD's training is beyond mortal comprehension, he's training muscles that don't even exist in this plane, his fat tissues are actually what we consider as "muscles"
The first time anyone sees Kyriakos, they're baffled by the weird lifts he does, with the weirdest being the famous zercher shrugs. I admit, I chuckled to myself the first time. Then I wondered what the actual weight was and started counting all those 25kg plates, and HOLY SHIT!
@@LarsRyeJeppesenthere are videos of some of the strongest people on earth including brian shaw trying to recreate his lifts and not being able to do it. his strength is absolutely insane, even though hes spherical and kind of a joke. you can look it up if you want, shouldnt be hard to find
You laugh until you do and then you laugh after you do. First in condescension and then in humility. I legit wonder how painful it would be to simply hold the weight, obviously not being able to hold that amount for weight.
@@LarsRyeJeppesen such a weird comment. most professional lifters would probably faint just from attempting to hold the weights he uses for zercher shrugs. you can always try these lifts to get an idea about how difficult they are, so it would make no sense to do weird lifts just to brag.
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.
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
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".
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
@@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 am going to be honest I have no idea what you just said but if youtube fitness community is hating on this dude then wtf?! Also I dont know why but I feel like Kyriakos Grizzly would have a great sense of humor.
Hey Dr. Mike, one of your 3.5 female viewers here (and fellow Russian-speaking Ashkenazi). This was one of your funniest videos yet. My husband and I were cracking up the whole time. Thank you for the much-needed laughs. (S/N: In case anyone was wondering, Kyriakos's arm tattoos are in Russian. One says "Grizzly" and the other says "uvazheniye", meaning "respect" or "esteem".)
I bet when you and your husband were watching this video and laughing together, you were laughing because you can't stop imagining how good that absolute god of a man would destroy you, and your husband was laughing to hide his jealousy and feelings of inferiority in front of your face.
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.
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.
I know I'm pretty late to the party and this video is almost a year old but I just had to say, I literally can't get through a day now without at least 1 of your videos. Always makes me laugh my ass off but with usable, valuable information sprinkled in. You my friend are too a God, God of humerus youtubers. Thank you...
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.
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.
You guys should do a collab with armwrestler Devon Larratt. He has some *interesting* ideas about training and is both intentionally and unintentionally hilarious.
I like the dude: He has had quite some injuries but just does his own thing because he likes to train. People that have goals like looking ripped or being strong usually quit early once they hit their peak. People that enjoy training can do it forever.
Movement is medicine. Even with the injuries it's better than sitting around doing nothing, imagine how unhealthy he'd be if he was a couch potato instead.
@@Mack98421 He's immensely overweight so he is unhealthy, plus he is most certainly on gear, his heart is certainly in bad shape not to mention his joints, spine, etc.
@@lecobra418 if you exercise enough, you basically only gain subcutaneous fat (the layer directly under the skin). Visceral fat (distributed around your abdominal organs) is what causes most health problems. I’d bet this guy has very little visceral fat. Still very hard on your joints/bones/spine, but otherwise you can actually be this big and still be quite healthy.
Your videos have inspired me to start working out whenever I'm not doing something else with my body. Doing squats while watching this video rn. Thanks Dr. Mike
Mike commits years patiently studying and explaining to us all the secrets of exercise science and his own wisdom, and it's his Bloatlord video that gets 71k view in 4 hrs
I love your video on this. All the other videos I've seen about him, the bodybuilders are snarky and laugh when the Griz would smoke them in a competition. You show respect for this man and still in a comical way and I appreciate that.
I'm sorry to hear you're not the individual that laughs out loud 'anymore' Sir, I hope you find more gut busting content like this; as I understand the pre-tense of how you feel. Stay strong Geoff!
Mike is just jealous because grizzly is what he could have been if he had kept dirty bulking and horsecocking big weights around instead of becoming a bodybuilder and caring about glute striations and counting calories. Just kidding, love the videos!
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
l watch this channel for the intersection between science and serious lifting, but this meme video was totally appropriate. Kyriakos does wild nonsense that wouldn’t be a great use of time for most people, but he is just a monster of a man and his idiosyncratic style cements him as a legend. We can all just aspire to be one day ‘’FULL.’’
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
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
Yes! Been waiting for this one. I recently watched Dr. Pak's video of him talking about flying to Greece and hanging out with Grizzly. One thing that surprised me is, the reason he does so many unconventional lifts is from injuries and mobility issues. I didn't consider that would be a reason at first.

it is just water. neptun himself blessed him with excess water in his veins and muscles. and he has just thick skin, kinda like hippo or elephant, but thicker...
IT'S HIS PROFOUND DIVINITY ENCIRCLING HIS PERFECT FORM!
@@non9886he told you “his 470 rhinoceros like pounds” man built like a rhino toddler
say what you want. I'm not a small man, but I surely cannot lift the half weight he carries. I'm about 82 kg, and I can do about 15-20 pull-ups. but the fact that he can make even one pull up with his weight is unbelievable
Oh man u need to bulk. 82? That's really sad.
@@letteringsunlightcalling 180 lbs small and sad is straight being brainwashed
8% fat estimate is priceless 🤣🤣
Dr.mike always making me laugh
Pffft, yeah fr it’s such a funny overestimation
Grizzly is like 2% bf at most
@@berserker706His body does not know fat. In fat cycles, his structure is a myth unknown.
He is the best at odd lifts in the modern age for sure. Brian Shaw has a video of him trying these exercises and not even he gets the numbers on the heavy hitters like the greek god
Eric Bugenhagen was the king of zercher squats on youtube at one point and he couldn't even handle them
Unironically I think Grizzly has given us the data on just how powerful you can get from bloatmaxxing. To be his size with a decent amount of muscle underneath makes you capable of some insane things, but it's gonna be more unconventional lifts where it shines the most
@@AlexS_983due to range of motion
@@AlexS_983 honestly the pull ups alone is extraordinary. Most people over 200 can't do pullups
I'm 225 and can do pull ups full range of motion with a pause at top and a hang at the bottom for 4 reps then I have to rest arms for a few seconds to do more reps. Can get 14 reps done in under 5 minutes though last night it took me 7 minutes because exhausted. @@fritzyberger
@13:57 must be the most unhinged take on this channel, and a good chunk of youtube as well. WIll never stop laughing at that bit.

Missed the opportunity for grading it Full / 10

LOL
I still remember seeing Jujimufu and Eric bugenhaggen (both strong men) trying the bloat lord's lift and failing. That man is a monster
literally brian shaw as well
Should have rated it FULL / 10
Fucking love this dudes commentary
M'LORD's training is beyond mortal comprehension, he's training muscles that don't even exist in this plane, his fat tissues are actually what we consider as "muscles"
M’LORD.

@@MelGibsonFan Oh how foolish of me to misspell such sacred name
His fat you speak of is Relaxed muscles watch your tongue when you speak of my liege
The first time anyone sees Kyriakos, they're baffled by the weird lifts he does, with the weirdest being the famous zercher shrugs. I admit, I chuckled to myself the first time. Then I wondered what the actual weight was and started counting all those 25kg plates, and HOLY SHIT!
Most people (even the really big guys) do those weird lifts so you cannot compare them to anyone. Their true strength would be exposed.
@@LarsRyeJeppesendude he weighs 470 fucking pounds and can do pull ups he is absolutely very very very strong
@@LarsRyeJeppesenthere are videos of some of the strongest people on earth including brian shaw trying to recreate his lifts and not being able to do it. his strength is absolutely insane, even though hes spherical and kind of a joke. you can look it up if you want, shouldnt be hard to find
You laugh until you do and then you laugh after you do.
First in condescension and then in humility.
I legit wonder how painful it would be to simply hold the weight, obviously not being able to hold that amount for weight.
@@LarsRyeJeppesen such a weird comment. most professional lifters would probably faint just from attempting to hold the weights he uses for zercher shrugs. you can always try these lifts to get an idea about how difficult they are, so it would make no sense to do weird lifts just to brag.
I was expecting you to grade him "FULL" out of 10!
Outside of laughing MY ASS OFF, I was really impressed by the pull-ups too like damn that’s strong
This might be my favorite youve done so far. I appreciate you making everyone aware of the fact Kyriakos isnt actually human but Zeus's crazy uncle.
The level of commentary in this video is truly unmatched.
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.
Nah I’m good. I’d rather keep what little I have left of my L5-S1 disc
I don’t think I would be able to jump? Why should I be able to jump myself and a very tall (or fat) man up?
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
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".
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
Lemme guess a short dude fuxked your girl huh.?
@@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 am going to be honest I have no idea what you just said but if youtube fitness community is hating on this dude then wtf?! Also I dont know why but I feel like Kyriakos Grizzly would have a great sense of humor.
I’ve never laughed so hard in my life 😂 this video is gold
Hey Dr. Mike, one of your 3.5 female viewers here (and fellow Russian-speaking Ashkenazi). This was one of your funniest videos yet. My husband and I were cracking up the whole time. Thank you for the much-needed laughs.
(S/N: In case anyone was wondering, Kyriakos's arm tattoos are in Russian. One says "Grizzly" and the other says "uvazheniye", meaning "respect" or "esteem".)
Hold your venomous tongue wench and worship our bloatlord.
I bet when you and your husband were watching this video and laughing together, you were laughing because you can't stop imagining how good that absolute god of a man would destroy you, and your husband was laughing to hide his jealousy and feelings of inferiority in front of your face.
@@TjoaWeiHan to be fair it is Kyriakos we are talking about, who wouldn't be
Может бытъ тоже на болгарском языке. С нами то же самое значение
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.
The editing on Kyriakos' videos is great. Scottos the Greek video guy did a good job.
the dryness in delivery is gold what a laugh thank you
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.

For real those pull ups are insane 9:57
As a former straight man, I have been converted to homosexuality by none other than simply admiring the physique of kyriakos grizzly.
I know I'm pretty late to the party and this video is almost a year old but I just had to say, I literally can't get through a day now without at least 1 of your videos. Always makes me laugh my ass off but with usable, valuable information sprinkled in. You my friend are too a God, God of humerus youtubers. Thank you...
I love the mix of comedic memery and serious commentary as M'Lard is both comical and insanely strong at the same time.
Kyriakos grizzly muscle snatch 6x130kg is one of the most impressive feats of strength I've seen online
Yeh last time i saw similar strength was on Lasha talahadze honestly where he muscled snatch 140kg for reps easily.
Alot of olympians do that with half his bodyweight
@@FiFiFilthbarely anyone muscle snatches 130kg for reps.
Muscle snatch, not power snatch.
130kg x 6*
@@FiFiFilth No they don't.
In this video he makes the best entrance!!!I like very much …he speak from his heart…simple and nice
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.
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.
The transformation can start with a Grizzly roar and ends in a bear roar!
or is he actually a bear that transformed into a human............
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.
😂😂😂
9:51 come on bro, "come with me if you want to lift" was right there
You guys should do a collab with armwrestler Devon Larratt. He has some *interesting* ideas about training and is both intentionally and unintentionally hilarious.
Second this
I agree
Yes review his arm wrestling training
That would actually be very interesting. Love Devon
Devon + Dr Mike would be the funniest Collab of all time
I like the dude: He has had quite some injuries but just does his own thing because he likes to train. People that have goals like looking ripped or being strong usually quit early once they hit their peak. People that enjoy training can do it forever.
Movement is medicine. Even with the injuries it's better than sitting around doing nothing, imagine how unhealthy he'd be if he was a couch potato instead.
@@Mack98421 He's immensely overweight so he is unhealthy, plus he is most certainly on gear, his heart is certainly in bad shape not to mention his joints, spine, etc.
@@lecobra418 if you exercise enough, you basically only gain subcutaneous fat (the layer directly under the skin). Visceral fat (distributed around your abdominal organs) is what causes most health problems. I’d bet this guy has very little visceral fat.
Still very hard on your joints/bones/spine, but otherwise you can actually be this big and still be quite healthy.
This was one of the most entertaining videos I've watched in a while. Was laughing too much. Subbed!
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.
It's the chicken or the egg debate.
What came first, the poor form or the injuries.
@@LiamR90he used to be an olympic lifter and he got his injuries at that time.
I'm really sad he didnt play the video where he saves a french powerlifter from dying while bench pressing, that shit was impressive af

I think I’ve watched over 20 videos in the last two days and I can’t get enough of seeing doctor Mike roasting people’s fitness.
Your videos have inspired me to start working out whenever I'm not doing something else with my body. Doing squats while watching this video rn. Thanks Dr. Mike
Mike commits years patiently studying and explaining to us all the secrets of exercise science and his own wisdom, and it's his Bloatlord video that gets 71k view in 4 hrs
That's the internet for you lol
Ofcourse it is, the Bloatlord is a lord
I love your video on this. All the other videos I've seen about him, the bodybuilders are snarky and laugh when the Griz would smoke them in a competition. You show respect for this man and still in a comical way and I appreciate that.
I'm not normally someone who laughs out loud anymore. A chuckle at most. This had me belly laughing so hard. Your comments are the best dr Mike
I suggest get back to laughing
I'm sorry to hear you're not the individual that laughs out loud 'anymore' Sir, I hope you find more gut busting content like this; as I understand the pre-tense of how you feel.
Stay strong Geoff!
Mike is just jealous because grizzly is what he could have been if he had kept dirty bulking and horsecocking big weights around instead of becoming a bodybuilder and caring about glute striations and counting calories.
Just kidding, love the videos!
The god warrior scream is impressive i love this guy :)
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
Off the top of my head he's torn his tricep, quads on both sides and I think both biceps
He was an OLY lifter.
For the difficult
@@rhubarbdedubarb4232Based
Please do a technique video for pelvic floor exercises. I might bust mine listening to Mike’s jokes.
This is my first time watching one of his videos properly. Really interesting and entertaining.
l watch this channel for the intersection between science and serious lifting, but this meme video was totally appropriate. Kyriakos does wild nonsense that wouldn’t be a great use of time for most people, but he is just a monster of a man and his idiosyncratic style cements him as a legend. We can all just aspire to be one day ‘’FULL.’’
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
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.
@@Xplora213
Apparently he's had several pretty bad injuries and I think it's clear why. Even genetics won't account for flagrant abuse.
@@joshuaconklin8378 😢😢😢😢 not good
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
17:22 that clap made me LOL for real 😂
Mike's got a PhD in comedy. This is gold.
Don't forget the PhD in homo erotic literature and degeneracy too.
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.
at his age? lol, he is extremely srong at any age and period of human history.
by far the best review of the channel
Yes! Been waiting for this one. I recently watched Dr. Pak's video of him talking about flying to Greece and hanging out with Grizzly. One thing that surprised me is, the reason he does so many unconventional lifts is from injuries and mobility issues. I didn't consider that would be a reason at first.
This was one of my favorite Dr. Mike reaction videos yet. Pure comedic gold 🥇
I don’t watch tons of Dr. Mikes videos, is he always this unhinged? 😂 I know he’s going along with the whole bloat god joke but he’s LEANIN into it 😂
