Saw “The Myth” as a guest poser once and why they called him that…you literally couldn’t believe what you were seeing! His forearms were so huge they looked as large as his upper arms! When he hit his famous back shot with his arms straight up with that small waist the audience went crazy! I’ll never forget it…
My all time favorite BB, thanks for sharing this history, I saw Sergio on Wild World of Sports on ABC in the Mr. World in '71 when I was a teen , my interesting in bodybuilding took off and I ordered the Joe Weider course and did it before I started the serious weight training
Sergio is someone who, even by today's standards, has an absolutely unbelievable physique. He's The Myth for a reason, after all. Also, a similar movement can be done with cables, instead of bringing your arms more in front like a pec dec you aim them more downwards. Like a high-to-low cable fly.
I have been to two seminars that sergio held in the 90s one of them my friends gym opening he told all of us if he only had one upper body move to do it would be dips
I got the adjustable kind like the small ones u showed with the switch of a button I can switch all the way up to 200 pounds never did I get that high but I can go from weights by 10 pounds up with each knob turn its just way more convenient and these are overpriced bad But I wouldnt say a person shouldn't get these kind mine is like artificial with a small spring These are way bigger springs which I would think would be way tougher even if mine was set at the same weight I had started in 2 years ago jan with using mine my lower chest was chubby not much though and the shocking thing is I was doing my middle and bottom chest on the 2nd level 2nd level which is 40 pounds and in 3 weeks my chest dropped fat mutiple times it gave me results that fast Never have i worked out with something so great at working the chest for burning fat of the chest and toning nothing beats these no matter if their the kind I got or these classics
Loved my York 5 Spring Krusher had it for 20 years loved to see if my friends could close it and I would knock of 20 reps most struggled! I miss it used to do like Sergio put it in my car and would use it all the time!Chest Krusher don’t leave home without it!
I have Barabans Chest Krusher and Horseshoe bender. Such great purchases. I have a soft spot for the Horseshoe bender but the Chest Krusher is more diverse and works a lot more muscles. Buy them both

My favorite bodybuilder of all time, can you imagine if he was around today with the insulin and GH protocols modern day pros use? Crazy to think about
Still the best bodybuilder in my opinion…. EVER!! His proportions were unparalleled!!! Ratio of waist/ thigh measurements… bicep ( at 5’10” way back then… at 22.5” and chest measurements of 57 compared to his body weight are absolutely beyond freaky.
Great channel! Just got my robert baraban chest krusher, wheb on the first spring I can get around 20 reps on the first spring, however the 2nd spring is too strong and I loose the chest connection and it is essentially working the front delts. I feel like the jump is too big, do you have any pointers on how to gradually increase the tension? Like I said once I get to the 2nd spring, it's no longer hitting the chest, bit more a front delt. movement. Thanks

If you do the pec-deck one arm at a time, you can turn your body away from, & then toward the pad, you can get a range of motion impossible with the Chest Krusher, or any other tool.

In the 1950's I had that identical chest crusher. I think mine had 3 springs. It was a brutal pectoral contraction.
Yep, I've been saying it for years

Closing that massive krusher with 9 springs is serious strength !
Never seen one in person but it looks quite the behemoth 💀⚡

These are way bigger springs which I would think would be way tougher even if mine was set at the same weight
I had started in 2 years ago jan with using mine
my lower chest was chubby not much though

Lol 😆 don't leave home without em...awesome
Did it help develop big pecs or just strength? Is it worth owning one?
Well in my view not every bodybuilders have used this equipment for developing chest .but yes it will be a quick pump up .

It is amazing how much harder it is to close the Baraban Krusher when using one springs compared with one spring.
I have both the Baraban Chest Crusher and the Iron Horseshoe. The quality of the construction is outstanding. Both are great pieces of equipment.

Great vid ... did u ever do one on Jim Haislop?
That bit at 2.51😉👌
I met sergio. He was a class act.
Sergio’s upper arms were proportionately longer than other bodybuilders’. For them to look this thick is unique.
I miss my original Bullworker.. a wide chest crusher and a rhomboid pull in one.RIP my friend 1979-2021.
Why do you miss you can still buy a worker more advanced with more springs

He looks like Oliver from baki I think that's where they got the inspiration for the character.
Similairly to using a bending spring right? Or is completely different?
Reminds me of a pec deck machine

Sergio's is still the greatest physique, and the 'Victory' is still the greatest pose.

Can't find anything on ralph kroger and his 7 day a week full body spilt ... can you do one on him?

Genetic not secrets!
great smartvertising 🙄😶🌫

It really is an effective exercise don’t knock it till you try it
Useless that Chest crusher...no One Will really use It to get Bigger Chest
It all boils down to Genetics, I believe Sergio Oliva is the best genetically gifted BB ever.
