this guy seems quite athletic for a man his size
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/73514/worlds_strongest_man/
-
He's awesome, at the end he talks about doing all different sorts of sport.. ie. climbing, running, swimming, etc. and how benificial it is to your body, also the importance of cooling down and stretching out after training.
p.s I don't see Ronnie doing squats like that ;)
-
His squats looks a lot more impressive than Ronnie's ;D
-
don't start this!!!!!!!!!
They are training for different things and it not fair to compare. Mariusz is one strong dude but so in Ronnie in different ways and at different things.
Ronnie is a bodybuilder and his goal is to maximize his body growth not necessarily being the strongest. And thus his goals are to not the same as Maruisz.
While Mariusz is looking to build muscle that will be help him be "actively strong" by that I mean (move at a good speed while carrying as much weight as possible). There is no way that Ronnie would keep up with him in anything involving speed ecause that is not what he is training for.
You guys know this stuff even better than I do. You are just starting some Fire.
-
But they are both squatting and Mr. Pudzianowski is best at it. I do admire Ronnie just as much as Pudzianowski, just saying his squats are better.
-
Who was that girl he was stretching with? She's hot.
I saw him compete at the Arnold and he didn't do as good as I thought he would. He rips the World's Strongest Man competition up but he didn't do that great at the Arnold. Either way he is way stronger than I could ever be and he would cave my skull in if he hit me in the head.

the dude is a beast looks like a national bb with his physique most of thr guys in worlds strongest are fat dude is awsome

Check out the comments from two different women in the comments section.
Girl 1:
men will never understand that women like slender men with lean mass. not bulls or oxes. seriously, if you knew anything about women you would understand. and this guy IS ugly and probably has an empty skull... otherwise he would know what women really want!
Girl 2:
My husband is strong and muscly. He works out once a day for 3 hours, you girls have no idea what it takes to get your body looking fit and lean. These guys train hard and take pride in what they do, anyone can look skinny and weedy. My husband weighs 22 stone, can run 15km and lift 200lb all day long. He eats healthy and doesnt smoke. This guy is not ugly and he is very well educated. News for you girly, women like men who take pride in themselves and look after themselves not some guy who is limp and lank like most of u can only get. Keep me my muscle ox and bull anyday

let me guess u fucking moron, i bet you think he's natural dont you ::)
-
I've always wondered how much drug testing they do for the worlds strongest men.
BTW is that an old clip, seems to me he's alot larger now.
-
Charm, great physique, athletic-a pro.
Squats are as impressive as Ron's, no way to compare they're training for different purposes.
-
Interestingly, he does CABLE curls for his biceps.
He must enjoy doing some bb lifts + want to look ~ bb, instead of just being big + strong like his competitors.
-
great music :P
-
That guy is a machine, and built very well, he trains like an athlete for explosive power and speed with great strength to match. Can hardly compare to what Coleman does. But at strongman events he always poses with his shirt off gets annoying.
-
The guy is stronger as hell but in person he was not as big as I thought he would be.

Like Mariusz really does it to appeal to women.... Not that he doesn't probably get alot of attention from women because of who he is, But he doesn't do what he does for the purpose of appealing to women. Some people are so stupid they believe that bodybuilders or strongmen do what they do to appeal to women. If he wanted to appeal to women he would of stopped 10 years ago.

Wait, I thought you said all bbers / guys who lift are secretly gay?!?!?!?!!!
On a related note, Ron would rape Mariusz in a workout.

She's not very bright-he's not ugly nor is he dumb.

I guess Ronnie posing with his shirt off, at comps or seminars, can get annoying too?
Just thought I'd ask:)
-
I'd like to see ronnie "attempt" to skip rope like that...

Great video. Could you imagine this guy on a football field??
-

At first glance he looks good, but I wonder how his lateral movement would be on field. Brock lestner was an all american in wrestling and had the size to play o-line, but was cut by the Vikings because he didn't have the footwork.
-

Well he does play rugby.

Ronnie would never be able to keep up with Mariusz in a workout. Not that Ronnie can't throw around the big weights like Mariusz does, because we know Ronnie can, but he simply wouldn't have the cardiovascular endurance Mariusz has. But again, they train for two different things so you can't really compare them.
-
Bullshit, Big Ron would absolutely BURY Pudz. No chance amigo!
-
Pudzianowski trains for function. That function is real world strength. Bodybuilders train for cosmetics. Function is not a concern. Coleman is incredibly powerfull but how many 260 pound pro bodybuilders use 35 pounds for dumbbell curls? For every Coleman their are five guys that make you wonder how they got got their world class physique when you see them train. I have just seen to many giant pros using girly weights. I'm not talking about guys using high sets that limit the amount of weight used from the shear volume. I'm talking about pros full of drugs and oil who work out like wimps.
-

Nah, you have *no* idea whether Ron has speed, coordination & athleticism the way Pudz has already proven. IF Ron developed & proved that he had those attributes, it be very interesting. Without those things, Ron would be like one of those other bigger guys on World's Strongest Men who has strength but insufficient speed & balance.
Pudz would do best at middle linebacker or noseguard.
-
I've never seen Mariusz so light.He must be 260-270 max. Must be taking a little time off. Good athlete... Great strongman... Nice guy.
-

I can't help but watch "Big Ron's" On the Road video and notice him being winded after only a few sets. I couldn't even imagine him having the conditioning to carry 900 pounds on his back 30 meters, let alone run with it like Mariusz does. No doubt Ron is the best bodybuilder out there right now, but when it comes to lifting Mariusz would leave him in the dust.
-
Guys just watch Stuttering John destroy him running in the sand on Jay Leno. You can tell Ronnie is not agile at all. Used to be, but now being so big no way.
-

I gotta tell ya. Watching him jump rope I did see any problems with having great footwork
-

I have a pretty good idea he doesn't :-\!

That's right. And guy's : Name one bodybuilder who have ever competed in international strong man- competition, and have been in top five at the end. There is no one. Question is, why there is not even one. It would look awesome if Ronnie wins mr. olympic title, and the world strongest man title, so why doesn't he even try? Because it is impossible win in those competitions with bodybuilders physic. Just look what they do in those strong man- competitions. There is running with weight's, stair claiming, rope pulling, rock lifting etc. and weight's are just crazy. Ronnie may be king of the gym and familair with barbells, but it isn't just a same that pulling a truck with rope. And by the way, Pudzianowski have that look because he is ex BB, who have change to new sport ;D
-
Ron used to be a linebacker, probably still has good lateral motion & overall quickness IF he trains to bring it back through some athletic drills and if he drops some weight, leans out. He'd have to get on a program for a while.
If he did that the biggest difference would be age; in his early 40s his reactions wouldn't be as sharp but might be close enough.

I said Ron would BURY Pudz in a WORKOUT, moraaaawn.

I doubt it. They're both strong as hell, but if they work out at a high speed with little rest in between sets I guess it's Ron who would have a sore asshole

Monster Triceps an idiot again.

True. When I mentioned on this board that when I train my athlete's, clients and kids for functional strength, the naive people on here laughed. This is why I always have said BODYBUILDER ARE NOT ATHLETES. You get someone like Ronnie or just about any pro to even a college or better yet a high school combine doing any type of lateral move and you'll more than likely see some sort of of injury (knee/ACL).
-
You're a little off there. Many bodybuilders are in fact athletes, even though it's not a prerequisite; some played football. If you'd read the previous posts, I mentioned that Ron was a linebacker (in college), so he's plenty familiar with and capable of lateral movement, given some prep time & drills coupled with some weight loss to improve mobility.
-
That's not entirely true-many bodybuilders are in fact athletes, even though it's not a prerequisite. Various bodybuilders played football. If you'd read the previous posts, I mentioned that Ron was a linebacker (in college), so he's plenty familiar with and capable of lateral movement, given some prep time & drills coupled with some loss of weight to improve mobility.
If you have read my past posts I've always said that alot WERE athletes and of course WERE capable of lateral moves, but I guarantee not anymore!
-
Completely wrong on Coleman-he's been there done that, but would need some time. And there are PLENTY of bodybuilders who have been athletes, it's just not 100% of them.
-
Ronnie was at one timea very very good athlete. Once he started to bodybuild though that all gets thrown to the wind. He can't do half of whatheused to beable to just because of his size and weight. The one thing though about being athletic you can get it back in some way. Like my strength. I mighthave lost allot fo it from being inactive but it is coming back. Once you get your body back in the mode to train like an athlete you will get it back. BB is not an athletic event.
-
Bodybuilding, in itself, does not turn people into athletes, especially if your intention is to build as heavily muscled a physique as possible. However, some specific bodybuilding exercises do assist athletes in their training and fine tuning their bodies for their particular sport.

Monster Triceps an idiot again.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. :'(

Give Ronnie 3 months to prepare and he would hang with Mariusz in any workout...I would like to see Mariusz put 225 on his back and do walking lunghes all day long...Rope work can be learned in a day...some of you are silly

And some are just naive :-\!
so you don't think ronnie could train with Mariusz (in the gym) with 3 months of training at lets say a bodyweight of 250? What am i missing
-
Great video. Could you imagine this guy on a football field??
if your talking pros or even div.I college, he would get blown away...Brock Lesner could move pretty damn good and he got killed on the football field...
-
Being big and strong doesn't mean you will be good at football...You have to actually BE GOOD AT FOOTBALL!
Lesnar was a 6'2" 280lb muscle bound monster who didn't even get picked for practice squad..He completly sucked. He was stronger than most of the people on the field yet as far as football skills goes he was an amateur.
Mariusz would get flattened on the football field..Unless he has years of experience in football..He won't do well no matter how big or strong he is.

It would depend on the individual's ability to pick up the game, to understand how to play. Varies by the individual. He's aggressive & bright, probably could do it with some time & effort, it's not black & white.

well considering his size, he would probably drop some weight and that would only allow him to play probably two positions---linebacker or tight end...Forget linebacker, probably the tuffest postion on the field...Not a postion you just pick up in a year or two...So that leaves tight end...No way he would have the speed for that....

how did we go from clip about mariusz to whos stronger between ronnie and mariusz to who has harder workouts to if mariusz could play football whats next could mariusz win the tour de france with one nut
