Lmao

@5% FOR LIFE , LIFE IS SHORT LIVE IT ! No shit dumbass they're bodybuilders. This dude is a strongman

Ha.... gayyyyyyyy

@5% FOR LIFE , LIFE IS SHORT LIVE IT ! Ahola is the "smallest" WSM winner ever at 6'1 ...yet he is still taller than all the bodybuilders you mentioned, especially Roelly. There isn't even a competition when comparing Strongman and Bodybuilders for pure size(frame/height).

Thank you! Two thumbs up for respectful russian :)

Jouko Ahola had a nice balance between strength, speed and agility. Also he was and an engineer type of person that he build his own strongman gym and trained there. Jouko Aholakin ponnisti maailmalle omalla tahdollaan ja systeemeillään, ilman mitään valtion avustuksia näin siis veikkaisin. Liian usein, kai se suorittaminen jää urheilijan, tai urheilija/valmentaja suhteen varaan ja mitä sitä kautta heruu pennejä.

Константин Антонов thanks

I remember seeing him on tv. Strongman wasn’t very popular in the US back then so my brother and I would have to watch it at weird times on weird channels. I remember seeing him and thinking to myself how bad ass he looked. After that though I never saw him return and couldn’t remember his name. Years later I saw him in a movie and immediately knew it was him. I guess he just has a distinct look.

Same here. Great times.

He's also 265lbs bodyweight

Kyrie Eleison came here 4 years later to agree with you

Especially the ballerina shoes.

It's now the manliest video at the library at 11:39 pm.

Got a chuckle out of that comment :D

***** Yep. Just a background guy, but looked like a true northmen.

What in the actual fuck!?!?! Really?

O I remember. He was the guy who died in the 1st raids in Season 1.

Jessrey Mark Solijon Yep, dude was bad ass. After i seen him in Kingdom of Heaven and then finding out he is a body builder, i was instant a fan.

@@TheJarlDen Strongman, not bodybuilder.

Necromancer go back to w3 your drunk again

He has done more and pound for pound ahola is the strongest of all time

The events today very much favour a powerlifter. Whereas 90's strongmen favoured strength athletes which is what Ahola was ideally built for. Most strongmen in the 90's maxed at 350kg for a deadlift. A 3 rep max of 360kg translates to a 380kg max, which would be enough to win back then. Nowadays you'd need to lift 350kg 10 times to win a reps competition.

Crazy to think that today we have a lot more effective doping.

@RoMMeL1337ak47 yeah but pound of pound orginally meant anyone in a competetive sport being able to drop his weightclass and still win the champion ship on that, a good example is henry cejudo who is olympic and 2 weaigt class world champion, as in pound for pound he is able to be on top even when dropping down, and now he is going for the 3 belt going upp again, now that is pound for pound nr 1 Nowadays it has lost its meaning going to the realm of pure speculations and i dont even fathom how you can calculate someone being pound for pound greatest if he stays at the same weight limit all the time. In lifting weights, that has to be someone going to diffrent weight classes but still being able to lift the same amount,.

@@mrlabeouf9002 no doubt bro.

Lol😂😂😂

*was

Hahaha

Rocket science muscle Max Q bicep curling and shit

His new plan is throwing people to mars rather than building rockets

Sorry what was his heaviest pull?

@@youhustlinmeboi5335 my max is nowhere near his warm up.

@@llegacy1870 even still today's strong men have pulled a 140kg heavier. But that was the best......... pretty much anyone who's someone is pulling 400kgs + To say he is one of the best ever might be stretching the pot a little.

Strength wise he wasn't but overall yes he absolutely was during his reign. Look at the strongman now. Not the Arnold but WSM. They now include more conditioning lifts. Thats why Martins Licis won and main reason why Brian Shaw wont finish top 3 anymore. They are starting to move towards ok weights with high repetitions and speed events. Brian and Thor arent built 4 that & that's why they get injured every WSM

@@davidstutz9893 strength wise he wasn't? It's called a strong man competition

Haha nice

Ahola looks like a chinese ?

@@marielysnavarro5045 he was STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD, you really think he was natural ?

@@marielysnavarro5045 u lame dude :(

Yes. I always felt he was underrated.

Yeah lol how tf is nobody talking about this

Tramsandwich bronson absolutely absurd 💀

Z3RO they’re all to busy boring us with their ‘blah blah can pull more’ crap. Remember he was about 120kg here not 200kg like Eddie and Thor and from an era when events had more strength endurance aspect to them. had he been competing now, he’d be 30-40kg heavier.

+Fluxliner where did you read that?

+Hody Jones He bragged about his WR in men's 265 lbs+ division in some Finnish interview. The exact time was 59 sec. Not bad for a strongman weighing 275 lbs. I wonder how fast he could've been in 60 yard (or 60 m) dash. But I bet it would've been even more impressive.

+Fluxliner He's amazing

+Fluxliner What is he up to now?

+meathook3000 Acting and carpenting, as far as I know. He also looks pretty normal nowadays.

Floppy bar for more kinetic energy

In his own words in an interview he said he never weighed 125kg. He said he pretty much stayed under 120kg. He was not a big eater.

Do you mean a 'mongoloid'?

My boss is your county respect.

i thought i recognized that guy! amazig scene, getting an arrow to the neck and kept fighting

@@ZombolicBand Only person who could pull off a scene like that. I loved his hair braids too, he looked like a fucking germanic berserker!

This is an asshole statement if I've ever read one.

BlahMcJones that´s because what i said apllies direclty to you or to your general idea of what is lifting wheigths.

SuperTuga Portugal i think you're right...americans are more about image than they are about raw sport

Joseph Pawlowski . No wonder that Arnold went there and conquered that shit. Also many other European bodybuilders and wheightlifters went there and showed them what was"lifting wheights". American way is the lazy/poser way. Tired of seeing many void "bodybuilders" with tattos, synthol, strange beards and all that crap. bodybuilding need´s more Arnold, Doryan, Colombu, Mariusz Pudzianowski . . .

Ever been so insecure in your masculinity that you wrote the above comment?

you speak rather well it seems. Yeah, he says roughly translated that "when competition time is near you do sets of 3's [or even 1's]" part in parenthesis is not translated in video.

+Tilen Benčina Well not 100 kg. He hit this for reps. His PB was 406 kg :) Also the sport (especially the world's strongest man competition) was different in it's way of testing strength then, than it is now (nowadays static strength is more important). But yes they are stronger now, but it's not really fair to just compare deadlifts :)

Jouko is much stronger pound for pound. Lets see Eddie Hall deadlift 3,38 times his bodyweight....

Jouko pulled more than 400kg @ 125kg bodyweight which means in terms of pound for pound deadlifting he is one of the strongest people who ever lived. Hall, shaw, bjornson and co are a combination of yes good genetics but more so the better understanding of training methodologies and nutrition and also better PEDS has brought on the numbers so much. Eventually it will plateau but who knows when that will be

Pound for pound talk is pointless, given that the smallest and lightest person will always come out on top. You guys clearly aren't aware of square cube law.

wow back when KZfaq had a star system
