Marious Pudzianowski Vid!

[PreMier]

During WSM he was listed at 290-292. Thats the weight when he won the title(02?). He's now around 305+(he was 305 at the Olympia last october). And his title wasnt stripped from him.. he was DQ'd from a contest because he failed to pass a test, and they said he couldnt go for the title.. well, guess what. He is/was competing in WSM for this year, I just saw it on ESPN a few weeks ago(2-3).

Here, these are straight from Pudzian.pl
The measurements of Mariusz Pudzianowski:
- Biceps 56 cm
- Nape 54 cm
- Waist 92 cm
- Thigh 80 cm
- Weight 132 kg
- Height 186 cm
- Chest 148 cm
- Forearm 45 cm

They havent been updated in a long time, so he is near 15lbs+ heavier now. Its a simple fact, you cant tell weight from the pictures. WSM is my passion, trust me I follow up on it very closely.

If the dude would dump his gut he wouldn't be anywhere near 230.

Trust me...it's a bad pic. I might not look like a bodybuilder but my gut's not that big.

 

[Doublebase]

Is that how your suppossed to do deadlifts? It looks to me like bad form. He would know better then me though. I'm probably wrong.

Hey pitt bull did some one tell you something over at irongodz to come here lol, you look big in the pic of you with Chris corrimer mate, Marious`s bone structure looks massive! how does steve mac compare to him?

 

[pitt-bull]

I'm always cruising boards and just stumbled across this thread. I had to defend myself a little. Steve Mac is 6'2" and about 325. He's in good shape at that weight. When that vid was made, Pudz said he was 293 and ready to bulk up to 310 for a show. The weight he used at the gym was not impressive for WSM but everything was almost effortless and he never broke a sweat. He said he has a program he uses on the road because most gyms don't have strongman equipment. We do but he just did his normal road workout.

here's a pic of Steve Kirit, me, and Steve MacDonald when I competed at Pittsburgh's strongest man a couple weeks ago.

Good stuff pit, awsome pic! wish i could train with you guys lol, is Marious underweight (bodyweight, loss muscle) when you saw him compared to the WSM? because he is definatly not as lean/ripped in that vid?

 

[pitt-bull]

He was on a nationwide tour where I'm sure he has trouble eating right and working out hard. He did look better in person.

Mine isn't "that big" either but I'm carrying enough to know that I wouldn't be 250ish if I were in "good shape," i.e. 8-10% bodyfat or so.

They always do.

I read a thread a few months ago that talked about forgetting your ego, losing momentum, dropping your weight on exercises and doing reps slowly, and lowering the weight even slower. I have been doing that for over a month and feel like I have had some of the best workouts ever. I just watched the video in this thread, and it seems to me on the tri press downs, lat pull downs they are using all momentum, and doin reps way too fast. Am I wrong? Is their technique in the vid standard for all out power or something?

 

[Mudge]

I've lightened weights for a time, but it doesn't take long until I start losing strength and size. People concerened with power are not going to use 25 pound dumbells and do whimpy 70 pound tricep pushdowns with super slow movements. Dont look to a powerlifter or strongman for bodybuilder advice if you think little weights are the way to go.

 

[HardTrainer]

I dont like using reps to slow

 

[WilliamB]

This might sound like a dumb question but that vein in guys arms like Pudz and Arnold that runs right up the front, is it always that big or have they pumped it up with all of the weight lifting?

 

[Mudge]

My forearm veins always show, but they grow larger as there is more blood flow through them - which happens during exercise.

 

[WilliamB]

Yea my forearms have some good veins in them. I was more specifically talking about the one on the front/top of the bicep. I should have been more specfic with my question, though the answer is still the same. Thanks.

good advice. powerlifters and strongmen are only concerned with one thing, getting the weight up. Since I started strongman training my routine has totally changed.

Hmm, well same story, the more blood requirements = the more blood flow to a given area. I notice bicep cuts/veins a bit doing dumbell laterals

 

[pitt-bull]

This is Steve MacDonald. He is a former bodybuilder turned strongman. I'm lucky enough to say he's one of my lifting partners, too.

Thats a hell of a deadlift.

 

[pitt-bull]

There's a video of his 805 competition deadlift there too. He's a freak.
