- Kyriakos Kapakoulak (A.K.A. Grizzly) might be the strongest person on the internet, especially when it comes to unusual feats of strength! In this video, I want to explore the depths of his strength and see if he could take the World's Strongest Man title from me in Myrtle Beach!

Look how much support his core has, he'd probably do well with yoke or the like
You truly impress me bro because I'm positive your not on juice your truly a strongman.
I dont know. But what I can say that the man is very entertaining. That has to mean something.
Erst nachmachen dann sehen wir!
Be honest Mitch....you are afraid of him! 🤨
The hard part is proving he isn't the winner already
Also for those unaware. Grizzly will be at Arnolds this year doing meet and greets 👍
You have to live it.
I may as well not even show up this year
@@mitchellhooperstrongman focus your energy elsewhere brother🙏
You have a membership so it's easy to prove you arent
The bloatlord is already the worlds strongest man in the universe
Read that scentence again... :)
😂😂yup you right buddy
Grizzly should just compete in wsm, so we have the evidence.
I mean if you are the strongest man in the universe, being the strongest man in the world is a given lol
Woooooooo
He is actually coming to Arnolds on March 1st. First time in USA.
Wait, like he's competing or he's going there as a visitor?
WHAT?
In that case ima get myself some tickets to see this Greek legend
you are joking rig
@@51909relapseminem
He will be there for photos and such with a merch brand. Check out his channel he posted some info.
The Grizzly's scream is my phone's ringtone. His scream wakes me up in the morning, and lets me know all my notifications during the day.
No better motivation than having Kyriakos yelling at ya.
💪🏻😎
How do you make it your ringtone I wanna have it as my ringtone
🤣🤣🤣
Awkward conversation starter and ender
Quite efficient, well done

Same bro
how much does grizzly wheigh?
F U L L
No. The lord’s weight is DIFFICULT!!
If could been a great strongman❤️🔥
There's a video of Grizzly pushing 850 kilos on a sled. Unconventional or not, the dude is freakishly strong. FULL power, thy name is Grizzly!
he deffo above average XD
10:38 “so difficult with this guy” …. Well yeah, he’s training for that very thing - the difficult.
pin this comment
Pin this
yuh
Difficult is shivering at the sight of m'lord
Only his true supporter understand what this comment actually mean
Mitch, Grizzly, Thor, Julius Maddox, and Tom Stoltman in the same building next month. The earth with cease rotating.
Now just need tom haviland
Grizzly???
@@D9Wx the guy the video is about lol. Grizzly the bloat lord
It's going to throw the rotation of Earth off by 2 degrees.
I also should be named in that group. 💪🤘
why’s he doing this?
THE DIFFICULT
just for fun and to burn calories. he loves eating
Don’t question the bloat lord
@@nikxohs3925 no, he loves the difficult.
@@mrseriousv1 sorry friend, i know him over 30 years, we are friends and i know that basic was he loves to eat
@@nikxohs3925 I dont know if you are lying or not but I was making a joke
After I saw Brian Shaw struggle to do less weight than this guy, I realize he is something special. Watch him do pull-ups, and splits. He’s a specimen for sure.
That is true, Brian did significantly less weight
brian struggled with 160kg less than kyriakos' best. Just puts it into perspective that M'Bloat is genuinely unreal at the exercises that he is doing
Yes with Zurchers, which no one cares about and you won't see them in an event. If this guy was to do one conventional exercise he would get smoked by the weakest strong man. It's really all for show. let's stop pretending like he's doing actual exercises with correct technique. He would be disqualified from every event😂😮
What about strong man style events where you carry and throw things? You know, like Brian Shaw does?
@@papagalooleo559 he is a bouncer, he carries and throws things a lot, and looking at how shrugs work he should be pretty good at throwing
People mock Kyriakos but rarely do they replicate his feats. I doubt anyone would make such comments to him in person.
dont worry. he is in real life a very calm person
True. It's really hard to do those exercises. They can laugh about it but Grizzly isn't weaker than him.
I thought it wasn't that impressive at first until I saw Brian shaw try to replicate it using like half the weight and boy oh boy he was having a tough time with those zercher shrugs.
7:13 you got it backwards… the pad is actually to protect the bar
😂😂😂😂😂
Isn't being a mortal man a requirement for participating in WSM?
No if Grizzly is some kind of demi god, that is also allowed.
For the yelling, I think Juji tried this movement with a lot of weight, and he said he got an incredible headache from it. I wouldn't be surprised that Grizzly is essentially releasing all that pressure by yelling.
the story of kyriakos is of strength *and* resilience... he's had serious injury and persists in his training. his training style is very unique for that reason
Or is it the other way around I wonder..
@@numberoneolive2464 Nope, kyriakos started off as an olympic lifter. Being uninjured in competitive sports is an outlier not the norm.
And another cool thing about Kyriakos is the fact that he doesn't do any of this stuff for show, neither does he imply that any of it is something you should try and replicate.
He just does his own thing and that's it. His channel is very old, he's been uploading videos of his exercises for like an entire decade before people started noticing. He never cared whether his videos got a lot of views or not.
He is just a quirky strong man who lifts immense weights in weird unconventional ways.
@@johnhighway7399 im pretty sure he is a bouncer for some club, he's unconventional lifts maybe relate to his job?
the weights in greece are solid, and those plates are really 20 kilos. kyriakos do his program every day after work with no rest, with no target, just because he likes to do it
Mitch got MOGGED
Maybe if all the events were zercher variations
Zercher kettlebell toss 🤔
I heard it was because he tore his biceps so many times or something to that effect. Although recently he did to bicep curls. Then again he did make it more of a whole body into it curl.
if he had messed up biceps, the last thing he would be doing would be zerchers, i'm pretty sure it works your bicep isometrically along with like all your elbow tendons@@MarkVrem
His muscle snatches are insane too
@@thered28 Biceps tear when they're stretched out. A bar against the muscle is completely different than the muscle tearing itself.
Mitch didn't give him any props for HOLDING 400 KG IN HIS ELBOWS!!
didn't eddie hall and brian shaw try to do that and struggled?
@@dustindv7635they couldn't do it
FR…
Lol nice boogs reference
@@dustindv7635brian tried with 300 kg and he was about to past out
I love how he looks like what Dr. Mike could be if he gave a damn.
Never thought of that, but now I can't unsee it 🤣
Dr. Mike needs to meet him in the Olive Garden bathroom
@@kman9884 ahahaha
Brian Shaw with Juji replicated Kyriakos techniques in a video. You could do one too. It's not like anyone is doing what he does so we can't have any accurate measurements on his strength.
He wouldnt dare to. He rather make fun of him.
not worthy yet, maybe once he hits 4xWSM
His lifts are a joke. Dude sounds like a damn mating dinosaur the way he starts screaming.
His lifts are joke, especially the bench press. Dude sounds like a mating dinosaur when he starts that screaming.
They replicated the technique, but even Biran Shaw couldn't replicate the weight
Mitch, Kyriakos will be at the Arnolds Expo. You should definitely find a way to meet up with him!
👀
@@mitchellhooperstrongman Unless you're too afraid to meet the Bloatlord. 😏🙄
@@ytsux9259 lol i doubt that he is scared
@@eivindgjengstjohansen9625 I doubt that Mitch isn't scared of being face to face with the grizzly bloatlord himself..
@@mitchellhooperstrongman He eats everything, unclear if he'll eat you too
Quick correction: his weight isnt 180-200kg, his weight is FULL
Kyriakous could be huge in armwrestling, his forearm strength is crazy, and his biceps strength too.
Been my dream to see him pull. Especially because arm wrestling fits into workout routines (safe/consistent). He would dominate with training.
Yeah, all he would need to do is learn specifics and he’s do great
Completely agree. Someone who speaks Greek needs to get in touch with him and have this gain traction.
Some of the lifts may seem silly but if you try your hand at those zercher shrugs you wont be able to make the bar move like that. Brian Shaw tried them at could not get that whip going at all. He has some weird short range power people can't replicate
unfortunately people will ignore your comment. These "static strength" guys have no idea how potent some explosiveness combined with strength and weight can be in real life.
He got way more impressive feat of strength than most of what you show in this video
The cheat curl is insane
He's 6'1 and 212 kg right now, that's 467 lbs of meatball to throw weights around. He is strong, much respect to the grizzly
Hafthor and Brian Shaw have also been that weight, but they are 6 foot 8. And can carry that body weight much better. Grizzly will definitely have much less health span.
@nealcassady-yn3bhsome of us want people to be healthy and strong. You are the kind of guy who would have encouraged SHOENICE lol
@@user-hr6gf4gn4eNow that's a name I haven't heard in a long time, I wonder what happened to him?
@@thomasrosendahl2783none of these guys are here for a long time, they’re here for a big time!
Kyriakos grizzly would pick this guy up like a biscuit and split him in half 😂😂
Everybody think its funny but nobody cant replicate 🤯
th-cam.com/video/in9hlkXKGWI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WLak_AyjnkYuI8Kd
Nobody wants to 😂
@@jonosterman2878 Tell that to literal Brian Shaw who couldn't replicate with LESS weight..
@@jonosterman2878 didn't Brian shaw fail with like 200 kg less?
Kyriakos got all strong people react to his videos, former and current strongmen champs included! If that's not a success in the strength world I don't know what is. Everyone in this industry knows the bloatlord
Kyriakos Grizzly is the strongest being in history terrestrial and extraterrestrial. Not even Goliath, Hercules or Krishna were strong enough to rep out a 490kg zercher shrug. To anyone who claims that he really isn't that strong: Upload a video of yourself doing that with half the weight he uses and send me the link.
People are dumb. 90% of worlds population would snap in half just trying to hold that weight.
Grizzly’s lat pulldown videos are mind boggling
No absolutely not. He does 250 kilo bent over rows for reps, 100kg lat pulldowns for 50 reps a LOT of people can do. But not a lot of people can do his zerchers, front raises or bent over rows. And his cheatcurls obviously
Honestly those shrugs are really impressive. WSM should have a shrug off between Grizzly and Haviland.
He’s already galaxy’s strongest man. He doesn’t need to take a step back. Praise the Bloat-Lord!
Galaxys' strongest god*
Galaxys strongest man who can not even do a full range motion pullup? There are a handful of current and former strongmen who have done 10 strict pullups with 160-180 kg body weight. All of them 6 foot 4 or taller
Praise to our Lard and Savior!
@@thomasrosendahl2783Be quiet slave
@@thomasrosendahl2783 he has done 8 pullups full rom recently dude, just look up his name and then pullups
45 years ago, in kavala, a small greek city, was many boys that was strong. dimitris makridis had a gym, small one that all was paying to buy weights. he was 70-75 kilos but he bench 230 kilosx3-5 reps squat 280 kilos3-5 reps and dead lift 330 kilos. he motivate many in times that was no money no machines no drugs. kyriakos was going to the gym of one of the best students of dimitris. many of his students even are near 70 and not train regularly can still bench 170-180 kilos. i am 70, i was visiting the gym 3 times in a month did not train hard. now i start some training and old memories work. i bench 20 sets x 15 reps 90 kilos every 2 day and i realize how good was the program we use old times
Don’t know if anyone’s mentioned already in comments, but he’s had quite a few injuries/ surgeries hence the crazy lifts and strange range of motion the man just loves to lift so he’s found his own way to keep on doing what he loves❤️
3:23
Bless the bloatlord's heart
Grizzly is the type of guy you won't mess with in a street fight he just rips you in half.
His functional strength is at least 10 times stronger than most wsm lol 😅
I laughed a lot, but he's a real deal
Grizzly and Haviland at WSM would be insane for viewership. Good luck getting any semblance of ROM from Grizzly, though.
Please try some of these lifts on the off season! They are deceptively hard, Juji and The boogz did the zercher shrugs and they looked really tough
Don’t make the bloat lord angry
His best lifts are the 180 kilo seated pin press from clavicle and his 140 kg x 6 cheat curl.
The 6×130 kg muscle snatch is also legit insane. Google Lasha muscle snatch, you'll find him doing a single from the floor at 150, the weight moves very similar. Lasha is the all time record holder open class weightlifter. It's a standard exercise for weightlifters. Kyriakos is putting up similar numbers in his 50s.
what's actually most impressive for me is the way that the left and the right side of the barbell always touch down in perfect sync ... crazy control 😅
I also noticed he doesn't use cuffs, so yeah, he's impressive in the balance part of the equation.
i want to see Devon Larratt vs Kyriakos Grizzly. That would break the Internet.
I think part of the reason for his truncated ROM could be injuries. At that body weight, years of lifting and the weights attempted, I guess he has had a fair share of debilitating injuries - lower back, ankles, shoulders, knees etc.
He torn off few tendons, including both triceps, during his weightlifting career on Greek national team.
You have to live it brother
Great video.
hi greg
Hi Greg! How are you doing?
Hey Greg you should look at QuinStott. I'm pretty interested what you think abt him.
Beat it manlet
stop pretending youre a DR! (its a joke greg)
That's how you know Hooper is a true competitor, he's like a swordsman winning the biggest competition then requesting that Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro come to the next one so he can actually have a challenge.
Imagine arriving to your first day in prison, and you hear screams as you're being led to your cell, realizing they are indeed emanating from it, and they open the door to him holding your bed.
Prepare your Angus
I hear you and agree....BUT...
I want to see you try to do 300kg behind the back wrist curls. Even with all that bouncing and crap I know know.
But go ahead and try. Just try it.
I bet you can't even lift it into position in the first place.
The guy is freaking crazy strong.
Most of what he does is strange, but I wish people wouldn't just shit on him all the time. Its like it's become cool to bully this guy and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon for views. Just leave him alone. At least he's doing something. How many people never set foot in a gym?
funny fact, the man in the back of her viral scream video, its an MMA world champ, he dont dare to say anything to grizzly
Gozer: are you a god?
Grizzly: yes.
Gozer: right.....imm gonna go home now.
I'd love to see some sort of wildcard WSM competition where you get people like Grizzly on. Would be reminiscent of the first WSM when they had no idea and had footballers, wrestlers, martial artists.
9:32 He actually tricked me to believe he was almost in full split but in this angle when he leans forward he is hiding the depth 😦
Of course he's not gonna be participating in the world's strongest man contests. He doesn't have to prove anything, he's already been the world's strongest man since the moment he was born.
I have more respect for Jujimufu and Brian Shaw because they attempted some of his lifts. I bet you couldnt even hold 470kg with your forearms.
After seeing Juji and Brian tried that shoulder shrug or whatever it is called, and then Martin trainin with him it is confirmed that scream wasnt because of joyful emotion, that's pain.
ALL HAIL THE BLOATLORD SUPREME
He does pullups. If that is the only thing he does, then that already is incredibly impressive to me. His short range extreme weight stuff is strong, impressive, but it's just plain weird.
you missed the truly amazing one where he stretches his leg up a wall.
th-cam.com/video/2kbRPW5OODo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yRmOZqVAWCtwtOK4
I think you were very fair and polite. Well done.
mr.Hooper, ive been following you for years now, youre amazing @ Strongman & you have a great personality. Would love to see you in movies in future
I saw the thumbnail and I thought you were a buff Sgt Slaughter.
Try some of his lifts!
He's not an ego lifter who wants to injure himself before a real competition
Juji and The Bugez tried some of The Grizzly’s lifts. Maybe after WSM Mitchell can try them??
What a fun video. This was awesome.
When you have 400+ kilos on zercher position, it's only natural that you scream afterwards. Jujimufu and Eric Bugenhagen realized that in one of their videos with far less poundage..
It is great to see the way you approach your sport and your way in going forward in a methodical and a constructive manner to not be a wreck and with a sense of humour too Respect to you as you do inspire others with their own health 🎉
Actually Jujimufu tried the behind the back forearm curls. Didn't even get close to the weight xD
He is not saying it is not impressive. He is saying you could get a similar training effect standing more upright and doing them in a more controlled fashion with 150kilos (half the weigth but STILL obscenely high)
how was it meeting the God himself at Arnolds
This video was awesome
Reaction on the ab excersice was good.
I Just saw you doing Zercher Shrugs with our King! You've made it Mitch!
Mitch needs to watch his tone when addressing his majesty, who allowed Mitch to win WSM by not competing.
that reaction to the last video was priceless!
The muscle snatch is really good! Even Lasha Talakhadze doesn't usually go too much above this waight when practicing....
Just found out about this guy. He's seems really down to earth! Love it!
Don't know if he could win, but I plan to be at Myrtle Beach this year and would love to watch him try.
What’s even crazier is that he’s lifting these heavy weights at 50 years of age!
I like the format of these videos, and how you are doing deeper dives into some of these viral sensations. As for inviting grizzly to worlds strongest man. What if they had an exhibition lift for Max Zurcher lift? Almost like how they used to do back lifts for very short ranges of motion.
The best breakdown ive seen on the Griz so far.
Some of Grizzly's training would translate very well to arm wrestling, I need to see him on a table!
Your laughter from around 8:42 & 11:24 made my day. 😂 Thank you, Mitchell.
Grizzly yelling vs ronnie yeah buddy aint nothing but a peanut vs ctfletucher its still your mf set
You've gained a new subscriber, keep up the awesome content and congrats on your second place finish at wsm 24, great achievement. I'm local to barrie as well, if I ever get a chance to run into you I'll congratulate you in person. 👍
Mog king 👑 is a national treasure here in Mexico he’s the reason Greek and Mexican politicians have an open dialogue when he travels thru Mexico the Mexican army gives him free escort. I once was lucky enough to shake Grizzly’s hand!
😂
Love the honest chuckles. Definitely had me doing the same.
Nice, back for the grizzly episode
M'Lord screamed so loudly Mitch's accent went from Australian to Canadian
Last part killed me. Tha baby learning to crawl for sure 😂
Moose you've made a believer out of me lad.
I just saw you on Instagram doing Zercher Shrugs with Grizzly. You made it Mitch!
The other guy's face when he dapped him up was priceless
U should watch the video of Brian and Juji trying to do the Grizzly shrugs, that gives you some inside about these weird execises. And its funny sseing brian wobbling :D
Mitch is really leaning on the "be kind" part of his slogan for this video lol. That honest mirth at the "199 kg leg raises" tells all the business 👀.
You're unworthy.
How did You get so much info on kyriakos??!! I love the guy and would want to know more about him. He's squatted 340 kg also and ohp 180 kg, thats as much as know about him for his traditional lifts
We need a Hooper/K. Grizz collab in the worst way!
Honestly, the only strongman I think with documented bicep curls like this is Magnus Samuelsson, who likely had the strongest arms in the sport. Even though these are a bit more cheat-y, those are actually really solid cheat reps.
Yeah regardless of what anyone says those were crazy impressive, I bet he'd be able to do 120kg for 1 strict with how good he looked on those cheat curls
