So glad you're back!! Hope your recovery is going well and wishing you the best of health!

Replying 6 months after the video's release, what strikes me most about Appollon is the size of his forearms at age 16 - amazing. I believe Hermann Goerner's may have gotten just as large; but that was when he was older.

Imagine back then, you Tore a bicep, a normal injury now but a carreer ender back then

Hey mate. Sorry I did not comment earlier.

I am so happy seeing you back. Hope you get a faster recovery and, in general, wish you this Year to be joyful and full of greatness.

Marvelous video as always. Apollon get to had a 20'' Upper Arm and 19'' Forearm at a lean ~280lbs. Man was an absolute horse. Just like you overcoming such difficulties.

Then again, best wishes 🙏.

Now the man who went to the junkyard to find a weights that he could use in his shows the "Apollon wheels" marks a history in strongman.

[leroidelaforce]

He's not only know for his heavy lift. He was also know for Immense athletism. He was fast and strong. He would do Pistol squats with 50kg block weight tied on his outstretched leg, and outstretched each of his arm with 20kg block weight, and after he would outstretched his arm (Similar to a leteral raise but static hold) grabbing 80kg block weight with his pinky finger, and raising it for 3 seconds for 3 reps. Finishing his act he would lift The Apollon Wheels now know as Axle barbell in Strongman, he would lift it 2x a day in his act.

Welcome back I've wondered what happened

[kliverkauapaulinomedeiros]

Make a video about who is the strongest human in history

[CoreyShelton-bcqp]

I had a 17.5 inch forarm with a pump 😂

[adamrojas]

This doesn't sound like the same guy..I liked the original

[skylartun]

why did his voice change. who are you.

[olderthanyoucali]

Unfortunately the actual weight of many of the early Strongmen's claimed lifts are unsubstantiated. Especially Louis Cyr's. Who's claim as the Strongest man who ever lived. Is due to the publicity from the Canadian born Weider Bros. Who have never been known for their truthfulness.

Mark henry vs bill kazmire pls powerlifting comparison.
