      In fact, the "momentum" argument makes it more impressive. Because you need to slow down the downward momentum with your body, and apply an upward force again for an upward momentum.
      And the faster you change this momentum, the more force you require.

    Let me tell you some things about Kyriakos. I studied in his town (Kavala) from 2000 to 2005 and I used to trained with him for a short period of time in JKD. Back then he was half of what he is now but still a really big man. He told me that he was practicing Kick-boxing before(don't remember for how long) and turned into JKD. When I started out he was there for a year or so.. He was fast for his size and he used to pair up with another fast guy for the sparing. One time there was no other beginner at the dojo except me so I had to spar with him. So now I can gladly say that I was punched in the face by the Grizzly. His fist was the same size with my face. I quitted JKD school after 2-3 months (big mistake) but he continued. I saw him again 1-2 years after at the bowling center (he worked as security there) and he told me that bythen he learned how to kill the opponent, he even demonstrated to me some stuff (scary shit). After 15 years I found out that he is famous as the heavylifter Grizzly. Good guy..

    After watching these, it strikes me that the Grizzly is actually stronger than I thought he was. His form is actually superior to several lifts here. The Dumbell curls were astonishing, especially compared to Magnus, who used his whole body to do them. Bibby’s ‘Bent over rows’ were largely a short deadlift/dip combo. His last raises were staggering. That’s seated press was simply incredible. Plus, the Grizzly is older than all of them. People laugh and joke because he does some ‘out there’ things, but he is genuinely, truly strong.

      People that harp on form are people that are trying to avoid that next bicep tear (perhaps because they've had one or something similar).
      Those injuries aren't a badge of honor, they're a sign that things aren't great. That long list of injuries ALREADY HAS reduced his total career length/ how long he can do this (he just still has enough left to keep going, eventually he will not unless he's a real anomaly).
      The reason I will likely never get close to many of my fitness goals (as with everyone as they age and accumulate injuries) has a lot more to do with recovery time between minor injuries than effort on any one workout.
      They aren't saying he isn't strong or hasn't achieved something impressive, but rather that your average youtube watcher SHOULD NOT follow those footsteps or use this as an example, because we all know where they lead at some point (even for him, sorry for the negative prognostication).

    He is actually holding his own pretty well in a lot of these. It is also important to note that he is approaching 50 at this point, and he is still incredibly strong. Shedding the belly weight would certainly help, but that is easier said than done in middle age. Some people like to eat, and while not great for your health, it doesn't mean you are a bad person.

    No lie, he's doing these exercises better than the people you're comparing him to. Besides full range of motion barbell movements like squats, he's doing it at the weight or heavier and with more strict form. He beat Biby at the bent-over rows (many dudes that do BOR at 500+ lbs cheat like a mf and get no contraction at the top), while Grizzly was actually pulling the weight cleanly from the blocks to his stomach with full contraction. He definitely beat Magnus at the cheat reps, Grizzly handled those dumbbells. Same for the lateral raises. Heavier weight, just as strict form. He's got serious muscle under that fat, and he's only a meme because of the outlandish exercises he does. He moves weight like an ox, and I have yet to see anybody come close with some of the exercises he does. He's practically world-class in moving weight. Long live the MOGG.

    As much as his lifts are very unorthodox, he has genuine raw power. For example, for the 270 block pulls, I am sure he can lock out if he wants but just doesn't. Also, for him to move a 200kg benchpress with that ease is quite impressive (as much as the form is very bad). His pull ups and lat pull downs were also okay... I guess he has different strength goals in life hence his unorthodox lifts and form.
