Puts us at higher risk of injury than the lighter divisions. Thanks for clarifying that one and saying it out loud. I was on the verge of going crazy.

@@JK-vc7ie it doesn’t work like that. And that’s part of what makes it confusing when you’re trying to figure out what does work for you and what doesn’t as a heavyweight.
@@CousinJesse1 That's exactly how it works. That's the beauty of bodyweight exercises. Bodyweight works for all humans. If you struggle with basic bodyweight exercises like pushups and pullups you are either too weak or too fat. I'm not trying to be confrontational. That's just how it is. For example, they don't have special "weight categories" for standards in the military or special operations within the military. The reality is that people who call themselves "heavy weights" actually weigh too much for their height, thus making bodyweight exercises harder. Bigger guys in the Navy SEALS or Army Rangers or Army SF crank out pullups, air squats, push ups, etc. They don't get any slack for being "bigger".
@@Tony_Jeffries There are the training scenes from Creed and Southpaw... I would love to see a breakdown of the techniques of training and the advices that the coaches give in these movies
Could you get Carl Froch on? I no he also has a UA-cam channel I would love to see a collaboration with you two. It would be good to hear some story’s from you both or even just a chat.
From what I gathered from this scene where they cut between Drago's and Rocky's training methods is they are the same but with different equipment this is an amazing scene and one hell of a good break down
@@eunuversal444 but in reality Ivan would train like rocky did in the movie in the Russian nature and rocky as an american would train like ivan in the film with modern technologies
@@pppppp1q3 exactly! If you actually watch an interview from any of the Soviet athletes who competed in the Olympics from the 70s or 80s, they will tell you that their training equipment was very similar to what rocky was using, they never had access to the high tech equipment that Drago used
@@matthewbryan-taff1306 on top of that, in real life, Drago would be kicked of the boxing program unsportman behavior. Possibly even put in prison for man slaughter.
The training looks cool but Dolph Lundgren is probably a robot or was probably grown in a lab, 6'4" a genius who studied chemical engineering on a scholarship and a world full contact karate champion. Apparently he punched Stallone once during filming and put Sly in hospital.
And interesting fact: Stallone never actually managed to be a heavyweight for boxing. The most he reached was a Cruiserweight. Lungdren actually reached the Heavyweight. EDIT: Stallone is 175cm.
That's not even the best part. Dolph hit Stallone so hard that his insurance wasn't going to cover for him because they were convinced that the injuries could only come from being hit by a bus or truck
Dolph was a champion kyokushin fighter, he was so tough he had to borrow his friend's blackbelt and entered a national tournament while still being a greenbelt.
Ivan Drago, aka, Dolph Lundgren, has a 3rd Dan black belt in Karate, so punching isn't new to him, neither was the core training. In an interview the director said that Stallone asked Dolph to use real force in their ring training. The result was they had to stop filming for 2 weeks after Dolph broke Stallone's jaw with a punch.
No it wasn't a broken jaw, it was Stallone's heart that got swollen from a punch to the ribcage. Damage similar of getting hit by a truck. Lundgren's punch and kicking power is the real deal.
Dolph Lundgren and Sylvester Stallone were training and Stallone decided he wanted to hit each other for real and had Lundgren hit him harder and when Lundgren threw a punch it landed at stallones chest and hit so hard it caused his heart bounce against chest plate. Not long after Stallone collapsed in as felt winded and in pain and walked out of training area and things got worse and had to air lifted for surgery as his heart swelled up causing pain nearly died. Lundgren was worried that going to be fired as Stallone was the one who picked him for the role of Drago and Stallone did recover and told Lundgren that he got the role.
Kyokushin Karate to be more specific. Kyokushin is a full contact with no pads/gloves style. Kyokushin techniques are widely used in MMA. It is a very legit style and Dolph was a very high level fighter in the style.
@@robertarcher4308 yes, he was 2 time European heavyweight full-contact champ and 1 time Australian champ and Swedish champ. But biggest accomplishment is he survived 4 years with Grace Jones without getting killed thanks to his durability from karate.
Man, looking his training and knowing something about URSS, Drago wasn't a mere fighter, but a scientific experiment! Probabily, the idea of put so much science and statistics on his training to optimize and make Drago reach beyond even the human limits were to put this on other sports, and, mabe, soldiers. You can see that Rocky was a fighter from himself, when Drago were a national fighter from URSS. Man, Rocky fought against a real blend of human strenght and scientific knowledge...was almost the perfect fighter!
Entertaining video. I think the barbell lifts Ivan are doing are the Power Clean and the "Power Clean and Press". When he presses it overhead it becomes a power clean and press. The difference between a regular clean and a power clean is the depth of the squat. In the olympic clean you rotate under the bar and go to a full front squat. With a power clean the bar is caught in a quarter-to-half-squat position.
the 'shoulder press' part of the exercise he's doing.... wow.... if those are 20kg plates and I counted correctly, he's pressing well over 200-220kg... that's WSM-level, isn't it? Especially as a static press without legs helping, that would be most impressive!
Came here to see if anyone mentioned this. What makes it a power clean is that you catch it on your shoulders in a standing position instead of letting the squat absorb the force.
Dear Tony Jeffries, the exercise at minute 2:57 is not a biceps exercise, it's definitely a triceps exercise. However, I would like to thank you very much for this material about Ivan Drago who is my favorite, idol and inspiration to practice martial arts (Dolph Lundgren) next to the great legend Bruce Lee. Regards.
Hello Mr. Jeffries, really great video, the machine at 3'34 is used to strengthen the back muscles in boxers it's important while imitating the dodging movement and at 4'32 the device on his head to measure stimulation cerebral during exercise, here is my opinion and look forward to the next video
Wladimir Klitschko is the closest real fighter to Drago. Freddie Roach said he hit harder than Tyson, but what impressed him most was how hard he trained - Wladimir could run 12, 800m sprints all in under 3 minutes with only 1 minute rest between each sprint. Roach said he never saw a heavyweight come anywhere close to doing something like that. Both Roach and Emmanuel Steward said Wladimir is the most athletic heavyweight they had ever seen. Steward also said he was the most accurate single punch knockout artist ever, with the best jab, footwork and balance of any heavyweight in history. And to remind you - Steward trained over 40 world champions during his career - including Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Tommy Hearns, Tyson Fury, Shannon Briggs, Julio Cezar Chávez, Naseem Hamed, Oliver McCall, Jermain Taylor and James Toney. So Steward knew what he was talking about.
@@Trumppower Tyson Fury hahahaha so funny. 39, and he was 41 when he fought and nearly beat AJ. If he were 34, he'd have beat Fury and smashed AJs jaw into the cheap seats. Wlad was washed up at 39 against Fury. He was really washed up at 41 when he almost beat AJ and would have if he didn't fight the most conservative match of his career. To anyone who knows what the hell they're looking at when they watch boxing, AJs fight with Wlad was really the first time he was exposed as a protected poser. You have to mention both AJ and Fury when both men's fights with Wlad come up because Wlad was over 500 years old when he fought them both, they both got unfair credit and were overrated for the wins, and if Wlad met them when he was between 24 and 34, he'd have demolished them both. In his prime, Wlad was a better technical boxer than Fury, and infinitely better than AJ. He was an infinitely better athlete than Fury and ten times better than AJ. He was immeasurably stronger than Fury and a hell of a lot stronger than AJ. He was light years faster than them both, and moved better than them both. Wlad had generational, all-time top 5 power that would make Wilder's right feel like a girl scout slapping you in the face.
I did that a week or two ago except I watched for the first time. I watched creed 3 first then started from the beginning all the while starting boxing classes and watching theses videos 😂
Can you do Rocky's training from Rocky 4 next? I'm thinking that growing a beard, running up a mountain and yelling "Drago!" has to be the greatest single exercise ever for any sport ever.
Dolph actually sent Sylvester to the hospital. When they were filming the final boxing scenes Sylvester told Dolph to actually hit him. So for the first few minutes of the scene they were actually teeing off on each other. Dolph hit him so hard in the chest it cause him to have an irregular heart beat. So the part about him destroying whatever he punches...yeah.
I think the sensors on his head could be used to measure body temperature. Which in turn could be used in a calculation to find his metabolic rate, and calories needs. That’s just my guess though.
I don't think it is realistically measuring anything. It's something scientific looking for the movie, because it then shows a graph that goes from -100 to 100 and says left hemi and right hemi and it is widely fluctuating in the space of 1 second.
@@juandenz2008 Agree that it is mostly for the movie. There are techniques like that for measuring the effects of sport on brain hemisphere activity, but it is usually used to assess the benefits of sport for brain activity, not the other way around.
@@juandenz2008 You use your left hemi to move your right extremities, and your right hemi to move your left extremities. So maybe that machine was measuring the time response between the brain and the movement and if both sides where equal.
I grew up in the 80's with two brothers who were almost clones of Dolph Lundgren, they pushed me to the limit on exercise and now so many years later I APPRECIATE it!
The scenes where both Rocky and Drago train is one of the best movie moments in cinema history. It's no coincidence that the training was so accurate. Stallone probably had more knowledge than the Hollywood personal trainers. It wasn't biceps Drago was training. It was triceps.
At 2:59 that was a Tricep push down machine. He was hitting the triceps on that machine by pushing down against resistance not pulling up (which would be biceps). We have one of those in our gym specifically to target triceps.
The highest ive punched on a dynomax machine was 998 lbs of force and everything in it. Can't imagine getting to 1800+ lbs of force. I think in reality that would cause immediately joint and shoulder injuries plus bone fractures. You could kill anyone with that much power with one punch.
Man Drago’s workout routine is ungodly! And Dolph Lundgren is every bit of a beast in real life. This workout routine is partially why I love Rocky IV. I would love to see your thoughts on Clubber Lang’s training.
Dolph Lundgren has been battling cancer for several years. I think he did speculate somewhere that it could be steroid use for some of his roles that contributed to it. Anyway, he's a brilliant man, and I'm praying he is cured 🙏🙌
Knew a guy at the gym who was an amateur bodybuilder and big as hell. He got into a bar fight that I saw, and a kid 1/3 his size laid him down fast and hard that was a boxer. That reminded me of the story Stallone told when he told Dolph to actually hit him. Stallone claimed he wanted to get the shot for the movie, but I think adrenaline and testosterone were running hot and Sly knew Dolph was a boxer and thought he could stand toe to toe. Stallone took a punch to the heart and almost died and was away from the movie Rocky 4 for three days in the hospital. Boxing is bad ass
La muerte de Apolo es Epica la vi de chico y de verdad le sumo mucho a la película, querias que Rocky ganara aun mas aunque sabias que era el protagonista
Hey Tony I know this a strange request but could you do a break down on how some UFC fighters like Izzy and some others can be off balance and still throw hard knock out punches. Or maybe you've already done one and I haven't found it yet. I know it has alot to do with talent but would love to hear your expert take on it. I love your content.
As an actual warrior (OIF) I can tell you that this here, is god level training. We didn't even train this hard in the Army. But its totally unnecessary. Taking out an enemy with your bare hands is very simple. The human body as a whole, is a pretty tough natural machine. The human body and mind can take a lot of punishment before it breaks. There are however, several places on the body that are very susceptible to damage and even death. And it doesn't take that much force with some of these. Please don't ask me specifics. They're of a 'demonetizing' nature.
Hi Tony just like to say thanks for motivation and getting me to start back boxing training January i couldn't run 100 yards i do 3 half-hour runs and sparring and pads boxing training other 3 days Sunday off i be 60 next month never felt better so thanks very much.
I found it strange that you didn't comment on how much psi he produces in a punch which is an exaggeration. Mike Tyson produces over 1,000 PSI punch and in the movie they claim that Drago produces over two thousand PSI punch
it's not easy to see, I watched it a few times and IMHO it's still a variation to preacher-bench curl, so biceps; I've seen similar machines but never for triceps. The arm position (quite horizontal) looks very odd for it to be triceps extention! (I could be wrong, I haven't seen every single machine that exists ;) )
The first time I saw this, I thought Drago's training was the coolest thing I'd ever seen, something that I'd always wanted to have for myself- a whole team of specialists focused on my workouts. His training honestly looks like a lot of fun. Drago definitely deserved the WIN over Rocky... he was cheated man.
@@Tony_Jeffries I wasn’t expecting a reply haha thanks I wish I was that good I enjoy the training and the rush of getting into the ring but If I’m honest that training in the video for rocky would break me 😅🤦♂️
Good analysis of what's being shown😀 I think it could be said, as well, that this was another prime example of people questioning Technology vs Conventional methods😁

Great post blast from the past! Haha, I always thought especially at the time how high tec Drogo’s traiiing was, but always prefer the old skool Rocky training for me lol
A power clean is when you catch the bar above a parallel squat position and the clean is when you catch the bar in the full squat. The overhead movement Ivan is performing is generally called an overhead press.
@@Tony_Jeffries Yep, a lot of people make errors on these movements since they are pretty niche. You could probably name several different variations on a jab when to me they are all just a jab, but I’m working on that lol.
My cousin Joey gamache was the featherweight champ of the world and he did stuff the old fashioned way . We have a hill called Goff hill he would run up it backwards. He was in excellent shape but not overly muscular. Heavy weights to my knowledge where ever used

That was also one of my favorite parts of the video! Anyway that segment served a meaningful purpose in the montage and movie, even if it wasn't a fully conscious one on the viewer. It shows the resources being devoted to this fighter by the authorities, especially relative to other priorities. The Soviet state is throwing highly skilled fighters at Drago with no regard for them, even as a sport resource. Drago can go ahead and damage them as much as he wants, as though they were bags or dummies; they mean nothing in comparison to him, not just as human lives but even as fighting talent.
I’ve always suspected that us heavyweights needed to be trained differently from the other weight divisions just because of the sheer stresses a lot of the exercises put on our frames.

I'll get hip replacement too ... Where's Dolphs 26 year old
El realismo no importa , lo que importa es lo épico que es
That power 2 cross punch is legendary from Drago.
I think the sensors on his head could be used to measure body temperature. Which in turn could be used in a calculation to find his metabolic rate, and calories needs. That’s just my guess though.
I don't think it is realistically measuring anything. It's something scientific looking for the movie, because it then shows a graph that goes from -100 to 100 and says left hemi and right hemi and it is widely fluctuating in the space of 1 second.
@@juandenz2008 Agree that it is mostly for the movie. There are techniques like that for measuring the effects of sport on brain hemisphere activity, but it is usually used to assess the benefits of sport for brain activity, not the other way around.
@@juandenz2008 You use your left hemi to move your right extremities, and your right hemi to move your left extremities. So maybe that machine was measuring the time response between the brain and the movement and if both sides where equal.
I grew up in the 80's with two brothers who were almost clones of Dolph Lundgren, they pushed me to the limit on exercise and now so many years later I APPRECIATE it!
“A força não vem de vencer. Suas lutas desenvolvem suas forças. Quando você atravessa dificuldades e decide não se render, isso é força.”🍷🗿
The scenes where both Rocky and Drago train is one of the best movie moments in cinema history. It's no coincidence that the training was so accurate. Stallone probably had more knowledge than the Hollywood personal trainers.
It wasn't biceps Drago was training. It was triceps.
in that preacher-bench-like exercise?? I also always thought that was a biceps curl though
@@joeridestrijcker445 look at his hands
@@DudeSilad yeah, I thought it was preacher bench with hammer grip actually... I find it difficult to see, sorry
@@joeridestrijcker445 no need to be sorry mate! 😃
Great video Tony!!! Really interesting and funny! The key is LOW IMPACT!!
0:58 closing your eyes when punching even for a second it's a terrible habit,right?
O cara posta um vídeo com dublagem em várias línguas, monstro 💪🏼
At 2:59 that was a Tricep push down machine. He was hitting the triceps on that machine by pushing down against resistance not pulling up (which would be biceps). We have one of those in our gym specifically to target triceps.
We definitely need more rocky IV videos
"Sparring's not for knockin' people out; it's for learning. But this guy *doesn't give a shit."* lol
One of the most iconic songs playing during Drago's training session.
You mean two of the move iconic songs...
The 80s were the best ! So was the Rocky movies and the music
The highest ive punched on a dynomax machine was 998 lbs of force and everything in it. Can't imagine getting to 1800+ lbs of force. I think in reality that would cause immediately joint and shoulder injuries plus bone fractures. You could kill anyone with that much power with one punch.
he did lol
The Rocky movies were so motivating for me to be a boxing fan as a kid.
Man Drago’s workout routine is ungodly! And Dolph Lundgren is every bit of a beast in real life. This workout routine is partially why I love Rocky IV.
I would love to see your thoughts on Clubber Lang’s training.
So much learning from one video! Thanks a lot ❤❤❤❤
I heard if you consider the gloves Ivan Drago was wearing cushioning the blow for that 1850 psi result his punch is actually over 4 tons of force
Which would've easily shattered every bone in his arm.
@@leestewart72 That's why boxers wear gloves...
Technically its 2150 PSI.
@@v4v819
The glove isn't going to absorb nearly enough of the force. His arm is fraked.
@leestewart72 Only for non-Russians...
The most epic training montage in history!
Drago was part of the universal soldier program 💪💪💪
A.k.a Sergeant Andrew Scott 😅 "When he says jump you say how high! "
Far by the best training montage for boxing
Saw Dolph Lundgren on Oxford Street about 4 years back. I train and Im 6ft but he was huge and broad like a tree
How tall is he in real life? In the movie he makes Stallone look like a light weight, and around a foot smaller!
@@v4v819 He was 1.98 cms and 120 KG in this movie, he was a mountain.
Rocky IV was WAAAAAYYYY ahead of its time with the training and Paulie's robot.
Dolph Lundgren has been battling cancer for several years. I think he did speculate somewhere that it could be steroid use for some of his roles that contributed to it. Anyway, he's a brilliant man, and I'm praying he is cured 🙏🙌
Knew a guy at the gym who was an amateur bodybuilder and big as hell. He got into a bar fight that I saw, and a kid 1/3 his size laid him down fast and hard that was a boxer. That reminded me of the story Stallone told when he told Dolph to actually hit him. Stallone claimed he wanted to get the shot for the movie, but I think adrenaline and testosterone were running hot and Sly knew Dolph was a boxer and thought he could stand toe to toe. Stallone took a punch to the heart and almost died and was away from the movie Rocky 4 for three days in the hospital. Boxing is bad ass
Lundgren was an actual fighter and ALSO bigger built than Sly! Full package 🤣
La muerte de Apolo es Epica la vi de chico y de verdad le sumo mucho a la película, querias que Rocky ganara aun mas aunque sabias que era el protagonista
Brilliant video. Well done Tony!
Hey Tony I know this a strange request but could you do a break down on how some UFC fighters like Izzy and some others can be off balance and still throw hard knock out punches. Or maybe you've already done one and I haven't found it yet. I know it has alot to do with talent but would love to hear your expert take on it. I love your content.
Good bit of fun that Tony! 👍 "If he dies, he dies.." 😆 seems to be the attitude of some of my sparring partners!
Ah yes rocky a classic
Do you think you can do these Crazy training mate?
@@Tony_Jeffries do we get the same supplements at least?
@@Tony_Jeffries nah man i got no rupiahs
As an actual warrior (OIF) I can tell you that this here, is god level training. We didn't even train this hard in the Army. But its totally unnecessary. Taking out an enemy with your bare hands is very simple. The human body as a whole, is a pretty tough natural machine. The human body and mind can take a lot of punishment before it breaks. There are however, several places on the body that are very susceptible to damage and even death. And it doesn't take that much force with some of these. Please don't ask me specifics. They're of a 'demonetizing' nature.
solar plexus
@@Sikorsky1111 Good point Bro. That's definitely one of them.
When people didn't train for tiktok 😂
Hi Tony just like to say thanks for motivation and getting me to start back boxing training January i couldn't run 100 yards i do 3 half-hour runs and sparring and pads boxing training other 3 days Sunday off i be 60 next month never felt better so thanks very much.
I found it strange that you didn't comment on how much psi he produces in a punch which is an exaggeration. Mike Tyson produces over 1,000 PSI punch and in the movie they claim that Drago produces over two thousand PSI punch
I just watched All the Rocky movies 1 and 4 are THE BEST.
Hi tony I like your videos and watch them all the time just a quick note it’s not a bicep machine it’s a tricep extension machine he s using.
it's not easy to see, I watched it a few times and IMHO it's still a variation to preacher-bench curl, so biceps; I've seen similar machines but never for triceps. The arm position (quite horizontal) looks very odd for it to be triceps extention! (I could be wrong, I haven't seen every single machine that exists ;) )
Drago was the ultimate bad guy and was pretty awesome. Him being 6,5 and really hot added on
Hey Tony I was doing some sparring yesterday and I kept turning my head away when punches would come towards me. How do I stop doing this?
You have to love the Flux Capacitor on the treadmill.
The first time I saw this, I thought Drago's training was the coolest thing I'd ever seen, something that I'd always wanted to have for myself- a whole team of specialists focused on my workouts. His training honestly looks like a lot of fun. Drago definitely deserved the WIN over Rocky... he was cheated man.
American plot armor, Rocky didnt deserve to win.
The guy taking PEDs was the one who was cheated? lol Still couldn't defeat the red, white, and blue that was pumping through Rocky's veins! :)
Deserved?The muthafucka murdered Apollo and didn't fuck about it, that don't mean nothin to you?
Apart from the steroids
Tony ! Just realised that you appear as an evil henchman in my favourite episode of the Blacklist ! Nice one, you should do more tv mate !
Man tony Jeffries is the real Drago 😂.
Like your videos man keep it ups🥊.
Love your content mate.Not a boxer I do jiujitsu, kickboxing bit of Krav maga but your content is awesome.Massive respect
One of the best on UA-cam
Free and excellent professional advice with no bullshit what a bloke thanks mate from 🇬🇧 👍
Thanks ma man, means a lot, do you think you can do these training mate?
@@Tony_Jeffries I wasn’t expecting a reply haha thanks
I wish I was that good I enjoy the training and the rush of getting into the ring but If I’m honest that training in the video for rocky would break me 😅🤦♂️
Love this Tony, but please do Rocky's training for Rocky 4! thank you
Inspired by Rocky 4 I have bought myself a Versaclimber
Greetings from Poland🇵🇱
Abrazó grande desde concordia entre ríos Argentina. Que bueno que hagas estos videos en español
Good analysis of what's being shown😀 I think it could be said, as well, that this was another prime example of people questioning Technology vs Conventional methods😁
Yo tony no doubt you won’t see this but I’ve been living in the middle of nowhere in aus practicing for a bit. A bag review would be mint. Love the vids bro
Next do rocky training methods to fight Ivan Drago
I love how Drago’s hitting the original power calculator punch bag game that we see nowadays with speed bag ones everybody wants that high score.
Thank you for such a great commentary video.
BERY BERY GOOOOOD!!! Excelente!!!
Damn ivan dragos training looks really legit the way u explain it
Hans lundgren was a world class kyokushin karate fighter! full kontact and the hardest style of karate there is so he's for real!
Evander holy field.... Real life Ivan drago!
They both have big muscles in common 😉😉
And both drug's cheat's💯
Just found this video... TOTALLY LOVED IT!
This was really informative. I love it!
Nice video as always coach ,i would really love if you made a video about tips for flat footed people who are new to boxing
Rocky IV is outstanding!
Great post blast from the past! Haha, I always thought especially at the time how high tec Drogo’s traiiing was, but always prefer the old skool Rocky training for me lol
A power clean is when you catch the bar above a parallel squat position and the clean is when you catch the bar in the full squat. The overhead movement Ivan is performing is generally called an overhead press.
Thanks for the comment mate
@@Tony_Jeffries Yep, a lot of people make errors on these movements since they are pretty niche. You could probably name several different variations on a jab when to me they are all just a jab, but I’m working on that lol.
I just wrote a comment along the same lines. Drago is definitely doing Power Cleans and then just adding a press later.
great video i liked it. He was actually doing tricep extensions not bicep curls
He was doing power cleans, he finished with the clean and press.
My cousin Joey gamache was the featherweight champ of the world and he did stuff the old fashioned way . We have a hill called Goff hill he would run up it backwards. He was in excellent shape but not overly muscular. Heavy weights to my knowledge where ever used
