True. He is an atg but as many know when you look at the weights, events etc and the split between wsm and the other one (heavier and harder tbh) the top guys split and mariusz stayed at wsm. Hes probably 4 or 5 atg TBH. Big z and shaw are def ahead of him.
@@aaronbarlow4376 while he was a freak even amongst his peers, i think big Z probably had the stronger core and was possibly stronger in other areas as well. I also feel the same about Brian shaw.
@@mikimiyazaki Although Thor is the strongest deadlifter which is a big core event, plus the strongest keg tosser which is explosive core, back and shoulders. Big Z had a massively strong press. Thor beat Shaw head to head most of the time.
I just remember there being an interview after an event when they asked him about how he was able to perform so well in some event and in his little english that he knows he said "When I lift, I win." This guy is a legend. If anyone has the link to it, I'd love to see it.
Marius was a mobile beast, no strongman even today moves like him. And to think this was after a year in the pokey after going vigilante on a whole mob
How does the Mariusz used to say? "POLSKA GÓRĄ"! He fought not just for himself, but for Poles and country! Always proud of Motherland! Best wishes for you Mariusz and all the warriors 🤝👍
Mariusz was a true professional. Not just an athletic freak, but knew how to get the most out of every event. He wears raised shoes to make himself taller in the atlas stones, has 2 layers of cushion on his arms for the shield carry so it is more comfortable, used to baby oil his thighs to jack up the deadlift bar, etc etc.
@@dnegel9546 if you watch some deadlift events Mariusz did, especially car deadlifts, he would pull the bar to just over his knee, then use his leverage to slide the bar up his legs (which was easier with smooth baby oil thighs) and lockout. It's more technical but can help grind out some extra reps - something Mariusz was one of the best at!
Yup, experience. Mariusz knew how to master practically every event. Event in those events where he wasn't the favorite, he would still be 3rd or 4th out of 10. A true machine.
He may not have been the overall strongest as far as pounds lifted but any event that involved moving he was winning!!! His quickness and stamina are unmatched
Don't ever let anyone say you were never the best because you're the best of all time and always will be you're better than Muhammad Ali I'm telling you you are the strongest polish man in the world and always will be amen
Pudz retired at 30 but looking 40 and won 5 in an 8 year period. Really 7 year period, his final year when he took second he was injured and barely trained.
Just noticed Marius has platforms strapped to his shoes for the stones . Shocked that this was aloud even back in the naughties . Hell of a competitor !!
His squat became one of his best events. He got a bicep injury and spent several months only training legs. When he showed up in 2003, his legs were INSANE and he won all squat events.
Never the strongest. His stamina and endurance got him wins. Never placed better than 4th at the Arnold Classic (more strength based) even when he won at WSM.
The most juiced of all time... oops! I said it out loud haha. Funny how he left when the testing got serious. PS: Big Z is the greatest of all time. Period. No contest. Not even close.
you're actually delusional haha every single one of them was juicing. Mariusz was clearly more genetically gifted in terms of fast twitch muscle fibers. Not everything is about juice. You sound jealous.

when it comes to carrying heavy stuff for distance, or rather running with it, nobody has ever done it better than Pudzian
Good at figuring out events too, the modern strongman that reminds me most of him is either Oleksii Novikov or Mateusz Kieliszkowski.
One of the greatest of all time, whether you like it or not.
True. He is an atg but as many know when you look at the weights, events etc and the split between wsm and the other one (heavier and harder tbh) the top guys split and mariusz stayed at wsm. Hes probably 4 or 5 atg TBH. Big z and shaw are def ahead of him.
@@mikimiyazaki Thor is an ATG too and in his prime stronger than all.

@@aaronbarlow4376 later on he beat shaw but earlier events shaw came out on top
The grit and determination of this man is just mind blowing his ability to grind is unbelievable
He seems like a guy with a really strong heart and lungs. Vascularity and pure blood pumping power is very important and perhaps overlooked
What a Humble Gaint. Had the privilege of meeting, working and introducing Marius back in 2000 WSM at the Stunning Sun City Resort, South Africa
Mariusz will always have a special place in my heart.
the strongest man and best strongman of world strongest man history

vigilante? story time
🍿😃
@dnegel yeah he got arrested after beating up some mob boss. And had to have prison time so pudz had to miss 2001 wsm because pudz was in prison.
just noticed Pudzianowsk is wearing platform shoes for the Atlas stones ,@ 10:48
Proud to be growing Up when pudzian was winning

i dont understand the baby oil one?

I thought bill casmeyer was my favorite until I seen Mario's poojanowski the strongest man ever and should probably be forever in the world
Both of them are in my heart but Mariusz is my favourite !
Marius was ans still amazing😳his biggest power is mind ,amazing mind power.
There is a reason he has most WSM titles
I couldn't wait to watch these on tv as a kid. They were so cool
Polska górą!!! 🇵🇱 PUDZIANOWSKI ❤❤❤CHAMPION 👏 🏆
Stunning place for a final 😊
Guy was just an animal 💪. I hope we get to see him knock Thor out at some point 😄
@cam I hope it happens so Thor can stop pretending to be a combat athlete. 😄😏
Beast of man all round package
He may not have been the overall strongest as far as pounds lifted but any event that involved moving he was winning!!! His quickness and stamina are unmatched
Can't argue with 5 WSM titles.
Outstanding
Mariusz Pudianuzkowski is my Man💪
11:14 platforms 🕺
Legend in my book, he was intense
Polska Górą💪
I am a proud pole right here 🎉🎉🎉🎉
El mejor de todos los tiempos
Don't ever let anyone say you were never the best because you're the best of all time and always will be you're better than Muhammad Ali I'm telling you you are the strongest polish man in the world and always will be amen
Awesome 💪🖤♥️
Can he do it?
Can he become World's Strongest Man?
Yes he can!
Amazing commentary!
Pudzianowski!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When they say he is not big he is 6ft and 130kg 6ft is above average height by some way.
not for strongmen
Yeh, ive noticed the same. Im 5'10. Sometimes i feel like a dwarf knowing these guys are out there
There's big for an ordinary man and then there's big for a strongman competitor.
Most of these strong men are over 6'3 so 6 foot is on the smaller side
Крепкие ребята
Mariusz 👍🆗
The GOAT
The WSM contests of the last four or five years have had some really boring events in them. I wish we had tyre flips and anchor pulls again.
i miss this commentator
He really used to do a great job
He's way better than the americans especially to that old fart bitter man Kazmier.
The greatest
Poland💪🇵🇱
Damn only 25 years old
Not looking a day over 37 here 😂
That’s what steroids do to you.

It puts him at a deficit to lift them up though... those blocks looked very high so in the end it's probably a net positive for him.
He's 5'11 without platforms
Savickas: 😮😯😲
23 years old and that big HOW
🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾💪💪💪🚀🇲🇾🇲🇾👍👍👍
PUDZILATOR :P
real viking
Sven got a weapon in them pants.
All these videos are not from he's first win
He sounds just like Mateusz
and even looks like him too haha
Polska górą.
If only Mariusz had a better squat form and set-up…
His squat became one of his best events. He got a bicep injury and spent several months only training legs. When he showed up in 2003, his legs were INSANE and he won all squat events.
Polska gora.
Never the strongest. His stamina and endurance got him wins. Never placed better than 4th at the Arnold Classic (more strength based) even when he won at WSM.
Yeah when it was static lifts, he wasn't the strongest but dynamic strength moving with weights he was the best. He also had a high event IQ
"... very good training, feed on drug, no problem "
every single one of them
They were all juiced to the gills, Maruisz was just the only one who kept himself in shape which is why people think he was the only one on steroids.
The most juiced of all time... oops! I said it out loud haha. Funny how he left when the testing got serious.
PS: Big Z is the greatest of all time. Period. No contest. Not even close.
nope
you're actually delusional haha every single one of them was juicing. Mariusz was clearly more genetically gifted in terms of fast twitch muscle fibers. Not everything is about juice. You sound jealous.
GOAT
