@@J.Biden69 You think they gave enemy prisoners nourishing meals during a war? Food that would grow your strength? Prison was not the place that made him, what are you talking about?

That's when he applied his will power and mind to find a way to get strong again in spite of being in chains. And that's when he developed isometric training. But by any rate, it is always a strong mind and strong will power behind any training that makes it successful. Being born with strong bones and tendons is only the tip of the iceberg.

Check out the movie ''Louis Cyr''. The strongest man that ever lived, a fascinating legend!

The (overcoming) isometrics training was my entry to strength training and is something I do to this day religiously. And from my experience I can tell everything Alexander says is true. I do shoulder presses, bicep curls, RDLs , rows, bench presses and squats all isometrically 3 times a week and just trying it once you'll see that it's no bs. Your muscles start burning after 3 seconds. And the gains? Lightning speed. I was as a beginner able to go from 0 to 4 pull-ups in 2 weeks with just isometrics. Granted newby gains also played a part in this, but I think it's nothing short of incredible nonetheless. What's also true that this kind of training builds powerful tendons and strong muscles, but not big muscles. Rather than big, voluminous muscles, this training builds dense, compact, rock-like muscles, which will leave no one doubting the power behind them. Bruce Lee would also train this way, as per his notes and famous photos of him performing a bicep curl and a reverse curl with a metal bar chained to the floor. And Bruce Lee was considered one of the strongest pound-for-pound human. And he was also very lean with small muscles, which were, however, as stated by his student, hard as a rock. Another example is the unbeaten Indian wrestler The Great Gama, who would push on trees as a part of his training. And when he was asked why he does it, he said (paraphrase) "Because compared to the tree, throwing humans is a piece of cake." Another strongmen to allegedly have utilised isometrics were Paul Anderson or The Mighty Atom. I can sing nothing but praises to this forgotten way of training and if I've piqued your interest, I recommend the KZread channels NoLimitSquad (who dedicates his entire channel to isometrics) and Red Delta Project (a modern-day fitness genius who's written a book on isometrics and talks about them often), but The Bioneer and Hybrid Calisthenics have also made videos about them. And there's also the channel Eric Moss, a modern day strongman who performs similar feats of strength nowadays, who also credits a big part of his strength to isometrics. All I can say about overcoming isometrics is a famous quote by Shia Laboeuf: "Just do it!"

As I recall, Charles Atlas also used isometric training as part of his program and a variation he called "dynamic tension". As a gymnast, we used isometric strength training as part of our workouts. For example, the iron cross and the planche are isometric strength moves. However, I learned the hard way that one should slowly relax the muscles after isometric contractions to avoid injury to tendons from the sudden release of contractions. I enjoyed the video immensely.

The fact that a modern day (and at the time) world strongest man pumped full of as many chemicals as possible can barely walk with a horse on his back and this guy did it with relative ease in the middle of a warzone where he hadn't eaten for a day or two.

Just like their American carny counterparts, circus strongmen have always manufactured outlandish stories about their strength feats, inflated their PBs and body measurements, retouched (crudely) their photos, used fake weights and wrestled against plants from the audience.

I feel fortunate to now know about this man and his amazing story. For me this is what i appreciate about the internet. To learn about people that once passed this way and lived such incredible lives. If not for this video i may have never learned about this truly amazing man. Thank you sincerely.

I've been waiting fot this

I knew overcoming isometrics before getting to know the amazing story of Alexander zass which I knew something about before watching this video. What an amazing man, I loved this video and I want to thank you first of all for such such documentary. I got to know about isometrics because I was and I still am a fun of Bruce Lee that implemented this type of training in his own routine. Bruce described isometric training as SUPERIOR to weightlifting for strength, exactly like Alexander zass. He would although consider this type of training incomplete because lacks of movement. My experience has been an in an out from this method. I used it but I never stack to it and made it my staple. Lately things have changed since I became father twice in 17 months. My training time shortened down to 20 minutes per day and I had to make the best use of it. This made me think immediately on isometrics as a main way of training and keep up strength and size. What I do is this: every day I do one exercise with isometrics in which I train 3 positions of that exercise, ex. a row, I do 3 angles of that movement, for each angle I do 6 sets of 6/12 seconds max contraction and I rest 20" between each contraction. This takes me less than 10 minutes to complete normally, than with the same muscle group I do another exercise that involves repetitions and I try to cumulate as many reps as possible in the short time I have. Given the pull day example I do row isometrics followed by an emom of wide pull ups 10 minutes, 10 reps every minute. So in 20 min I trained strength and work capacity. I normally train every day, 7 days out of 7 and I train twice push, twice pull, twice legs. What I do is alternating the isometrics with dynamic, for example pull day one I do isometric row and pull ups, pull day 2 isometric pull up and dynamic row. Same thing with push. At the moment this is an experiment and in a few months I could give my overall experience. However for what I used isometrics in the past I can say that they have always been useful and always brought forward the movement that I was training that way so I am sure I will see great results

This man is legendary. This man needs a movie made

This was one of, maybe even the best video, from you, so far. Really fantastic story. I want a biopic movie of samson, right now! Can someone call Nolan or Scott? This story motivated me like hell for my upcoming training later. Thanks for your great work, really love your channel!

Thanks so much :)

A great video! It's rare these days that I watch a video for half an hour without doing something else on the side, but with this one I just couldn't do otherwise. I've been doing isometric exercises myself for years and have had good success with them

Many thanks!

Yes! I DO appreciate this as well as the light-hearted narrative. What an impressive man, one who never lost his compassion but was not a burden to anyone during his life, his prison time, his toils with animals.

Wow, at the age of 60, an inspiration for me to continue training and implement isometrics! Thanks for this amazing story. It deserves to be seen on the Big Screen!

Overcoming isometrics was a concept I was not introduced to until my final year of college. I started with two fifty pound resistance bands doubled up, but later I got my hands on a 130 pound resistance tube so that I didn't have to improvise anymore. Before that, I was mostly doing bodyweight and light dumbbells, and still do. But overcoming isometrics taught me that some of my old exercises (running, climbing in trees, swinging pipes and tree branches around) already did what the dumbbells that I'd bought in my late teens did, and shortly after trying isometrics for the first time I took up these other exercises again and now only do weights when I'm tired.

What a strong and kind man. I am truly inspired by his determination.

Thank you very much for this video. The reference books you have added at the end are a great bonus.

Absolutely fantastic. Your podcast is astounding!!!!

You did an amazingly great job on this video, I could see the entire story in my mind unfold as you spoke.

Just wow!...I don't think I would wish to be as physically strong as he was as much as I would have his character, his discipline, his level of dedication to a goal.

Seriously...for all of his physical strength, the real strength is in this man's mind. Incredible will

Great history video. Loved it. Isometrics, especially Overcoming Isometrics but also static contractions like Maxick are the base for everything I do. If your tendon strength is there along with efficient and powerful muscle fibers the rest will come. I first started using them in 2016 and found that even though I was training for strength, it improved my stamina and explosiveness and I was reaching new heights in some of the physical tests we took in the Corps like the Combat Fitness Test(CFT).

Really great video. One of the most interesting and insightful KZread biographies I've watched. Well done! I think beyond the ISO and tendons, Sampson was ballsy, bright and had a will of iron (topped off with a really high tolerance for pain).

Great video! Thank you , I found this story incredibly inspiring and even touched my heart. What a great human being.

What a man he was. Thanks for making this video.

Fantastic presentation & story. It must have been very difficult to make a video like this with such a small amount of footage. Bravo!

Many thanks! Yeah it's a bit of a challenge. I used some AI generated pic here for the first time to help fill some of the space. I know some other people film themselves instead and cut to the face cam when they have nothing else to show, but I'm no good in front of the camera 😂

@@NattyLifeYT I know how you feel. I create boxing documentaries of fighters from the 1920s - 1960s, makes you want to rip your hair out sometimes.

really amazing story, most stories on youtube do not captivate me but this inspiring one did. many thanks and great job illustrating it!

What a great story!! So well told!! I will never forget the Iron Samson. Thanks so much!!!

Great! Really enjoyed the video.

Many thanks bro!

pound for pound he's one of the strongest ever.

Thank you! Truly inspiring…the next time I find myself lamenting my lot in life, I will remember his story and think how fortunate we are to be living in a more modern day with every type of convenience. Not to mention, that our society is relatively free, at least compared to his time. His life is more fantastic than any film could ever depict!

Excellent video! Alexander Zass is every bit as inspiring now as he was back then. Mind, spirit, and tendons.

What an amazing man!

Super interesting and awesome life of this person!!!

Thank you extremely much and may God bless you greatly for not ruining your most excellent video with background music. Far to many tubers suffer under the delusion that background music somehow enhanses their videos. It does not as you obviously know. Actually it is their viewers who have to suffer under the tubers delusion. So thanks again voluminously for not having music in your video which I thoroughly enjoyed!

What an inspiring story. Thank you ❤️

We still need a video on a true pioneer of modern strength Joseph Curtis hise, I’ve tried to promote him but KZread still hiding my channel from the good folk who watch this stuff.

Interesting story! His focus on strengthening the tendons before the muscles is completely in line with all traditional training in ancient China (kung fu, Qigong, etc.) and where rather small and lean men are able to perform incredible features.

I think this is your best video so far! Thanks!

Awesome Video!!! Thank You!!! Great job on a great story of a very interesting man...
