It was because of Super Mariusz that I became such a big fan of Strongman.
Incredible athlete.
Me too he got me interested legendary
Same here, 1st saw WSM in 2002 and was addicted
I remember watching him compete in his 3rd,4th and 5th win, man was both the unstoppable force and immovable object. All while being shorter compared to the other competitors, shame about his ban in 04 but that lead to Big Z dominating
As a kid i watched Strongman live on TV when he was winning :D I'm 02' and i fell in love with watching these freaks of nature with fascination. Mariusz was certainly special because of his physique.
Hardwork can't get you there, Drugs and hardwork can get anybody there.
Mariusz is what every man wants to be, big, fast, functional and amazing physique
And juiced :')
Steroids no good your heart can only take so much,boom
Nah
and hes flexible
@@Szpulenso they're all on something it's basically an open secret.
He was literally so good he was hated on, kind of like Big Kaz. The prototypical modern strongman, just 15 years ahead of everybody else.
He was good no doubt, but he won most of his titles when guys like Big Z, Koklyaev were competing in a different federation, I realize that he could only compete against the guys in front of him but still the competition during those years was sub par
@@neal520 Mariusz won about 70% of all international competitions he took part in. He was on the podium 83.333% of the time whenever he took part in any international strongman contest.
Mariusz has beaten all the WSM winners of his era in various competitions. Even in national shows he also had to compete against Jarek Dymek, who was Europe's Strongest Man in 2005, but Mariusz still won 7 times in Poland's Strongest Man as well. His only loss in this competition was in 2002 to Jarek Dymek, by 0.5 points, but few people know this competition took place only 6 days after the grueling 2002 WSM Final, which Mariusz did win.
Mariusz competed against Big Z 24 times from 2000 to 2009. 16 out of 24 times Mariusz was the winner.
Mariusz competed against Svend Karlsen 25 times from 2000 to 2006. 19 out of 25 times Mariusz was the winner.
Mariusz competed against Magnus Samuelsson 18 times from 2000 to 2007. 14 out of 18 times Mariusz was the winner.
Mariusz competed against Vasyl Virastyuk 10 times from 2003 to 2006. 6 out of 10 times Mariusz was the winner.
Mariusz competed against Brian Shaw 4 times from 2007 to 2009. 4 out of 4 times Mariusz was the winner.
Mariusz competed against Janne Virtanen 20 times from 2000 to 2009. 17 out of 20 times Mariusz was the winner.
Mariusz competed against Phil Pfister 10 times from 2000 to 2009. 6 out of 10 times Mariusz was the winner.
Mariusz competed against Derek Poundstone 3 times from 2008 to 2009. 2 out of 3 times Mariusz was the winner.
I don't know how fair it is to say "Mariusz didn't compete against the best!!!" with this track record.
@@miskee11 he may have had a few easier years at worlds but he was still an amazingly talented athlete. Trying yo discount his wins would he like trying to discount tom stoltmans victory or novikovs
@@miskee11 someone did their homework
@@miskee11 F*cking thank you! And great work pulling up those figures.
The greatest strongman of all time.
Period.
So true.
kurwa word!
not even close to z
@@Slipknot5301 ok fanboy hahaha
@@Slipknot5301 he beats him
Dude was an animal. Strong as heck and built like friggin' Dorian Yates
True Dorian strong man
If Dorian Yates was strong he would be here. Guy based everything on steroids
@romeolajh1602 he still stronger than 99% human. Just not at strongman level because he don't train for that
the genetics of this guy is out of this world. I get that all these guys take "supplements" but he was competing on the highest level for years on end ( 5 time winner) , survived, no major injuries , continued in MMA after that , training and competing till today. It is truly incredible to be at that level for 20 + years. Insane
That's Slavic genetics. TOP.
Not a good fighter though. He got beat up badly. Bad genetics for mma.
both of his 2 brothers are looking great too, he could be easily be doom guy
@@billj4525 17-9 in MMA with 12 KO wins. Please stop. He's done great in MMA considering he got into it very late. He's still fighting into his 40's.
@@billj4525"bad genetics" "bad fighter" dude didn't take up fighting until his 30's and is 17-9. Seems like those are good genetics seeing that he's beaten 17 opponents, and most by KO. you are clueless.
He was like the Mike Tyson of Strongman Competition
Mariusz was heads and shoulders above all. Truly the GOAT. Dude could have been a bodybuilder as well he had a fantastic physique
nope
Mariusz has gotta be my all time favourite sports man. Guy is extremely strong, physically fit, can fight, do the splits and has an absolutely amazing physique. Guys a beast.
Polska Gora!! 🇵🇱💪🏼 remember getting up early just to watch him on TV and knowing he will dominate every competition and obviously win. Greatest Strongman of all time ♥️
when i hear poland i automatically picture mariuz. 😅 the sameway when i hear the usa i think of the bald eagle.
With a little effort he could compete in Mr. Olympia, but he went for MMA career instead.
He was a well rounded athlete, there is no doubt that Mariusz was not the strongest competitor but that's not all that Strongman is about. His fitness, endurance and speed put him ahead of others when his strength was a disadvantage. Even by todays standards some competitors would struggle to keep up with him. Probably Kieliszkowski and Novikow come close. Don't judge him or discredit him because you think Strongman is a Powerlifting competition. He competed against Zavickas, Poundstone, Magnus, Shaw, Pfister and won. And there is people saying he did not compete against any top tier competitors.
From 2005-2007 most of the best guys did the IFSA world championships. They couldn't do WSM in 2008 because of contract with IFSA then in 2009 Zydrunas came back and beat him. So for 4 years and 3 of his titles he was against easier competition. Saying that I still think he is the 3rd greatest of all time after Z and Shaw.
In 2009 Mariusz had his first mma fight in december so he already been in preparation for fight and start loosing weight in beggining of 2009 . Think because of that he wasn't at his best shape during last WSM for him.
@@ArtemisBumwhistle2009 Big Z was 400+lbs. 2009 Mariusz was still in the low 300s. Of course Big Z beat him. Z is my pick for greatest of all time, but he can't discount Pudz in the top 5 discussion. We wasn't statically the strongest, but this isn't powerlifting. He was doing shit nobody back then could do. When 310lb Mariusz faced 350lb Big Z in the early 2000s, he usually beat him.
Finally some acknowledgment. I don’t know why so many strongman hates him.
because he kick everybody ass
@@manuelnaim9206 lol 😆👍
many new fans don't like him but actual strongmen seem to respect him
Because he routinely defeated men that were taller and outweighed him by a hundred pounds or more. The big boys are very proud of their size and he made them feel small.
Odd Haugen actually said why. Because he wasn't friendly with anyone, never sharing secrets, never hanging out, never really interacting with others. The only time others saw him was when he was kicking their ass, so of course they got resentful.
Pudz was a lot like Kaz, you saw the burning intensity in their eyes every time they competed.
The two most dominant of their respective eras. Although Kaz competed mainly against wrestlers, bodybuilders and NFL players. I still think he was untouchable from 79-82 though, and would have probably won at least 5 if he hadn't been banished.
Mariusz was really special, his explosive power was unique.
For me, he is the best in the history of the sport. It is known that each of them takes some boosters, as in every sport, but maintaining such a figure and shape for 10 years is a real art.
With all due respect to the rest of the strongmen like BIG Z and Bill Kazmaier, they were great too.
Marius Pudzianowski is the God of this sport.
nope
@@Slipknot5301 Well, your opinion doesn't count
@@mrcarp9731 neither yours😂😂
@@maneomkar18 Yours all the more with the rest you can see it with your paws up. Marius is the best
For last years he's MMA fighter, his record is 17-9. And he's 46 yo now
This guy is not just extremely strong but has a extreme stamina.
So they used to stream this on ESPN at like 6, 7am on weekends... I always got up early as a kid and started watching tv... Thats how i disxovered steongman, around the year 2004... I was 10 years old..
Mariuz was the most incredible thing I've ever seen in my life, the physique, THE SPEED, the strength... winning against freaking mamuts. I went to Olympic weightlifting in colllege, now powerlifting. This man started it all for me.
I remember watching him when I was a little kid not realising he was a GOAT, just thinking he was really cool haha. His physique really made him stand out.
same. i remember seeing him ina metrx commercial thinling i could look like him if i worked out. which i did but yeah i still dont look like that 🤣.
me too, watched him on eruosport. Back then we did not have youtube recordings to rewatch the competitions, so I always paid attention to not miss him
He wouldn't even get out of breath, just get the task done easy, quick and fast... Unbelievable... There'll never be a strongman like him... The man was built different
that was his superpower. He never gets tired.
THE GOAT
One of the very few,very few , strongmen that really really looked the part! Incredible physique and my favourite competitor and WSM champ.
Every competitor in the Strong Man is beyond amazing. They are all incredible. What Pudzianowski adds to the event is he looks every-bit what the strongest man in the world would look like.
He is the force to recon with. He pulled very clean and clear victories. We hve seen him performing with full zeal even in those events where he wasnt good. He was so motivated in wsm that he got inspiration from him self in every event to beat only himself as there was no one who could give him tough fight. Only poundstone challenged him during last years of his reigns else he was a storm.
There's simply never been another strongman like him.
I remember watching him when I was a young lad home from school for the summer. This guy was a monster. GOAT
Classic WSM, awesome.
Pudz was a beast.
Mariusz, Savickas, Brian Shaw & Phil Pfister are why I love this competition. An absolute pleasure to have witnessed it
The guy was miles ahead in strength and power against his competitors!
Blessed to have watched this men dominate live
I dont know what to say but thanks Mariusz i start train on the gym then kick-boxing . I was watching him from start carier i was young and im still him Big fan . Hi is Big motivation for a lots of people . Im polish and im proud that some one like him live in my times !
He makes it look easy ! he's not only very muscular, but he has a crazy good cardio !
Mariusz totalny gigant bez kompleksów, siła i potęga.
My favourite strongman ever
Looked awesome and was awesome 💪🏼
To me he is the best of all time
That man is a monster I have never seen a five-time man like him ever in my life that man is a monster God bless him man you have you ever seen anything like anyone else
Basically the Goat
One of my favourite athletes of all time
I'm so amazed how he nailed everyone during Giant's Farmer Walk, Damn
This is before I started my interest in WSM. I can certainly see the legendary in Mariusz. Also the fact that he seems like the nicest guy on top of that.
This man's performance is peak. Proud to be polish 🇵🇱🇵🇱
What a beast, pure strength he wasn’t even that heavy and was doing some crazy lifting and pulling.
he is a legend. man i remember i was so young when i started watching the world’s strongest man series and it was him who i saw first. the man is a beast much respect
Mariusz was a beast, the best.......a legend!!
Still is a beast. He's such a freak of nature that he's successful in strongman and now mma
man watching Mariusz is always a treat, almost every time he performed in a dynamic event he was insane, that 05 Ding Carry is legendary, as the 02 Stone Carry and the 07 Loading Race.
Im so proud of this man.... i loved to watch strongmans because of this guy ! AND..... what is the most important.... when he see his rivals got problems or something, many times ive seen how he came and gives them motivation.... class.... strenght.... inteligent.... fantastic person!
My dream is to see Mariusz competition at Masters Strongest Man , and of course win it
On the smaller side of strongmen at 6’ 1 and 309 or so lbs but built like an ifbb pro and strength levels rivaling a full grown Silverback!
The power stairs in Charleston was crazy
Used to watch wsm as a kid seeing this guy smoke everyone and looking like a beast
Just amazing strength and ability,my favorite strongman ever just awesome no one like him
BEAST.....
Best of all time for me
The one who always was doing more than you would expect from him
Legend 🇵🇱
Absolutely amazing athlete one of the all time best strongmen and certainly one of the fittest and simply awesome physique
Freak of Nature!💪
I would have loved to see a prime Kaz take on Marius . That would be the ultimate showdown.
What a beast
Legend Mariusz Pudzianowski GOAT 100% with respect to all the other greats.
The Goat for Me. Mariusz Pudzianowski 5x WSM 🇵🇱
Watched him while living in Lilongwe, Malawi and remember when they had the sport in Botswana i believe.
i loved to wath Mariusz, he was so good and so strong:-)) 5 times
El más grande el más ganador y con el mejor físico guste a quien le guste es asi, no habrá otro como el grande mariusz
He is fantastic 💯🥇💯
3:08 that was the moment Z decided to leave WSM.
that's not true. Check out the interview zydrunas did with big loz on his channel. He intended to compete against mariusz again even after losing to him twice.
@@tonyverras2688It was all about the money, IFSA was able to pay much more, just Pudz didnt wanted to join them. Later BigZ regretted leaving Strongman, ifsa failed so bad.
Legend
He is still in perfect shape and very strong. He trains everyday twice.
He is definitely top 2 or 3 best strongman to ever exist. And look at his physique? His literally what a strongman is. So effortless in having all those muscles and being a freak of nature.
Best strongman of all time without any doubt. Not only win 5, is the way he dominated the competitions like no other strongman had done ever
He might just walk that back to Poland. The announcer killed me lol.
Best ever!
Yeah he was the goat of his area he was like a machine.
Best ever
man was simply built different
He is not the biggest, not the heaviest, not even the strongest but still he manages to win 5 wsm title. That's the reason I like him the most. The DOMINATOR
You need to understand the the difference between strength and power If he wasn't the strongest so he probably doesn't win event who based on strength improvement.
I don't understand why they always lie about his height, he's 5'11 nit 6'1
Pure power
The GOAT
Dude is a reali life Mr. Incredible!! In his prime, obviously.
Big Mariuz showed up and competed perfectly to match and dominate his competition. Arriving at the tail end of the Norse Dynasty where they had no answer for him. And frankly he quit because we were now seeing the advent of the truly big boys. At maybe 300lbs he was clearly over matched like he had overwhelmed the Norse contingent. Timing is everything.
He was an animal! However it would have been interesting if Zydrunas did the WSM every year.
There was a split in the sport during that time and unfortunately the athletes got divided. But Mariusz and Z did go head to head a bunch of times.
@@roybatty- yeah I read about the split. I’m sure they did clash but on tv in U.K. back then was only really wsm and not the others so not that widespread broadcasted.
@@GregsMowing Yea, we still got to see Z vs Pudz in 2002, 2003 and 2009. And remember that Z is older than Mariusz.
They competed 24 times against eachother. Pudz won 16 of those. He was too good ever for Z.
LOL they competed 24 times against each other, and Mariusz won 16 of them, he was on another level
The Michael Jordan of strongman.
Both had relatively short careers.
Both dominated like no one before or since them.
Both were competitive to the point of being psychotic.
Both were among the "bad boys" of their sport.
Both may or may not had an affinity for cocaine.
Both born in February.
G.O.A.T. simple as that. And no amount of crying will ever change that.
He was very good but not the goat in strongman
@@gerritevers654 has winning records against every single strongman he competed against. That alone makes him the GOAT. Nevermind his dominance and accomplishments.
@@gerritevers654 for the wsm yes he is the greatest of all time. Whether some people like it or not, the wsm is alot bigger and more fun to watch than the Arnold.
😆😆
Something about these Polish Strongmen with Frame/Farmers Carry go hand in hand…😆
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There really never will be another Beast, and specimen like Mariusz... Dude was the world strongest man, most wins ever with 5 should be 6, he had the body of a MrOlympia/body builder, was super fast, mobile, adn athletic. Many have big abs, while others have very defined/cut abs.... but close to no one had both, massive abs that were super defines like him, he had bricks for abs... on top of all of that he was a boxer, and can you name any World strongest man ever that could do the splits too? Do was a once in a lifetime specimen.
If he wanted he could of quit half way through to get super cut and shredded, and could of done bodybuilding/ MrOlympia, or power lifting... They dont make human like him
Also was only strong man to fail drug tests too
finally
Mariusz was a absolute unbeatable monster, but Brian for me is the people’s champion.
They don't call him the dominator for nothing
While not the strongest he had by far the best cardio and IQ of all the strong men
Without a doubt, Pudzianowski is the best strongest man of all time (5 titles, I think).
He wasn't even out of breath after 90m with that thing..
Viva la Polska 🇵🇱
Here after Mariusz SLEPT Marterla with a vicious uppercut. What an athlete he is!
Same here lol It amazes me that ESPN or any major sports networks don't cover him. He's the greatest strength athlete in history, 5 strongman titles.
@@SCommanderJR A modern day Milo of Croton!
If you're using WSM has the barometer, Mariusz is the greatest of all time. There can be no dispute. Four is not five. Three is not five. There's only one five.
Icon
He looks like a little boy playing with toys. So intense. So effortless.
To win wsm you must be a complete athlete not a powerlifter. And Mariuz was above all, maybe not the strongest all the time but for sure the most complete athlete. Stamina, heart, great phisique..he had them all. Best wsm in history for sure.
Imagine pudzianowski,shaw,big z,kaz,Magnus,jon Paul,ahola,capes...al in their prime completing 😎
gotta give it to shaw
@@Anthonyosull07 depending on the events, big z and mariuz are very fast but brian is static strong
@@manuelnaim9206 yeah big z for overhead pressing id think
@@Anthonyosull07 lol yea... no chance. There is a reason Mariusz has the most wins ever with 5(should of been 6) There has never been an athlete like him, That strong, built like a MrOlympia/bodybuilder, the biggest, and most defined abs, and he could do the splits. There is a reason he not only won that many titles, and not only won most the events, but he absolutely dominated all the events, he won some of his titles in the 2nd to last event, he would be in such a lead where he didnt even have to do the last event, and won. He is one of the only strong men to take these crazy weight a RUN with them, weights 99% could barely lift, let alone run with them. He was on a different level
My calf is strained. I think I'll pull a big ass truck today.
Poland gets it donnnnne
The original Polish power
Is he fighting Thor next?
Let's hope
I doubt Thor would be that dumb. Mariusz has 10 years of fighting experience in him. Thor would be mogged by Mariusz
