+Shawn Rigoulot so if you are really relatded to him, are you naturally stronger than other guys your age, like is it a genetical thing? Or did Charles Rigoulot just trained hard.

Hard to believe the comments by people discrediting the knowledge, training and results of lifters from decades past. The 1920's were not the Stone Age and the people that lived through that time period were every bit as capable as we are intellectually (and probably at an advantage in terms of not being glued to phones and social media). A lot has been learned about lifting since then but you guys talk about them like they're the Flintstones. Is it truly unthinkable that Rigoulot was just a fantastic, explosive athlete who worked on his craft for years?

Thank you Rogue for another quality clip! More please!

I think if Misha had time to practice his technique, he could easily get that record. It is clear he has the strength.

Wer kommt auch von Kohlruss? 😁

For those questioning the legitness of rigoulot's lift his custom bar is actually still laying around in a gym in the north of paris and it is legit. For those wondering it is in the société athlétique montmartroise.

He smashed the 220 pounder though!! So damn impressive still. Nearly had it...they should includes these sorts of events in the proper Arnold Strongman. This is why Fortimus was so epic. They took past events and weights, and made events out of them. That first year's natural stones, is still the most impressive stone related event I've ever seen.

Back in the 1900-1920´s these guys practiced a lot one hand OHP, see Inch, Cyr or Saxon. You see in the old footage a different technique...I would say a side press. It comes from the family of windmill, side press and bent press. So the guy who wants to lift that has to practice these ancient lifts. Vala morgulis

Ok, so watch the video of Rigoulot doing the press at 0:51 then watch Misha try it. You cant tell me that is even close to the same weight. No bar deflection, no shudder in the joints. Either Mishas bar was not rigid enough or the weight Rigoulot did was less than advertised. Im guessing the latter.

+Rogue-Fitness Can you please upload Big Z's attempt of 507 lbs log ?

There are a lot of ignorant people in the comment section so let me enlighten them. The strongmen who set these records had a very different training ideal than we do today. Back then, if you asked someone, "How much do you lift?", they didn't tell you their bench press. They told you how much could they lift from the floor and press overhead as that was considered the true test of a man's strength. Therefore, they did a massive amount of training for those lifts. As far as the amount of weight being inflated, the 1920's isn't some ancient time, many of the original implements they used are still around in various collections so they have been verified.

I see why we stopped doing this lift. Looks cool but seems super dangerous on many levels.

If it come to Weightlifters about shoulder, grip strength and explosive-power movements, then It may be real. Old-school athletes might not have drug back then, but they had one of the best life style for developing strength - try living in the early 20th century and you will see what I mean. Plus, unlike us, they all blessed with great genetics which had lasted for hundred years. (After more than 100 years of gunpower war and 2 WWs, many people died, among them were many people with good genetics. That may explain we can hardly break some old-school records because we don't have their means) I can tell by seeing few athletes with natural massive forearms and great wrist strength today. By the way: Sorry about the pathetic moaning about our late-generation lacks of good genetics.

MarkyBhoy I slightly disagree that mechanized warfare would select for "better" people (outside just the evolutionary definition of better meaning those that survive). For one, gun warfare selects for smaller/shorter people (less likely to get hit). Also selects for less courageous people (if you tried to get out of military service or were more careful in battle you would be more likely to survive). This is the opposite of ancient warfare where bigger people were more likely to survive, and where courageous people who succeeded in battle would get more women so they could reproduce more.

Martins might be able to do this

"Big Arms and How to Develop Them," 1938 by Bob Hoffman on page 20 says "Rigoulot's arm measurement exceeds 18 inches." Edit: A photo of his whole body is on page 73.

The original bar would have been harder because the globe ends would have been cast , therefore uneven. The bar itself would have also likely be drawn rather than solid rod that has been machined to perfection. It would have felt like the difference between a kettlebell Vs modern dumb bell.

Heinz Ollesch at 2:54.

People really where built better back then. Sure we break records constantly... with improved surfaces.. equipment... textiles... I mean I watched this documentary on how basically footwear and track surfaces makes up for the majority of advances in sprint records, and the cycle makes up the majority of advances in cycling records. Despite out knowledge on training and nutrition, there are some things we just cant do as well.

If he did indeed do it, and none of us were there to weigh the bar, he no doubt spent years practising the lift. Misha clearly had the strength, it was the balance and whip that were the issue, something that he would get used to if he really wanted to make it part of his training.

How did they measure the weight back in the 20's accurately enough for it to be a reliable number?

I think with a less explosive technic he could do it

Misha is a modern oly lifter with modern technik and 2 time stronger Rigoulot an 50 overweight... rigoulot C.J 2 hands max is 400lbs...400lbs in WL modern is (on a modern bar ) is a perf in capacity of everyone with serious training (in Rigoulot 230 weight class).... but in grip Rigoulot is very superior and if he had a modern coach he can hope success 450lbs in CJ on moden bar..no more. Misha is a monster...he can SNATCH this load..... its true .bar is very important.... for me my actual technique C.J max is around 410lbs...with my new ELEIKO ... but if i try to lift that with my stiff power bar..my forearms and my shoulders are destroyed.

breaking a world record with +1 pounds is not breaking it at all. You have to outdo the record holder by ~ 4 to 5% but preferably more.

There must be a reason why this record wasn't beaten for 90+ years now. And they just want some guy to beat it without any special preparation or nuthin.

This is a short explosive man's lift.

I don't know why but this is amusing.

Don't have time to read every comment..... however I will make my statement on this video. It just goes to show how soft some of the world has gotten in 100 years. They said Charles Rigoulot was only 220lbs. Life was harder then and you had to be tough. With the right training I am sure someone with the same build type could do what he did. The human body has a lot of potential if trained. But today's society is going towards what was depicted in W.A.L.L.E. People try to create things to make life easier and in turn it makes us lazier.

Many people back "in the day" were incredibly strong! In many ways we are so arrogant today and always think we have evolved, when we have actually devolved. Heck, do a search on the old time strong men and be amazed. Even Abe Lincoln was stronger than most anybody today. For instance, how many people can lift a nine pound axe straight out horizontal from their body between their thumb and forefinger (NOT between the webbing for leverage!) for over three minutes. I tried the other day with an 8 pound axe. Are you kidding me?! Try it and see just how strong ole' Abe was. His feats of strength when he was young were legendary.

tbh u guys saying it was "fake" are showing ur ignorance of strength sports. For one, their forms are different, the ending position is different. That's pretty damn obvious by...looking at. Two Old time dudes trained/practiced one handed stuff WAY more often then modern dudes do. Like outside onehanded clean and press with Dumbbells, no one has really cared about one handed movements for 50 or so years. They did windmills, side presses, bent presses, one hand snatch, clean and press. All that shit. Three I'd say him being short helped with him getting it too.

KEY OF RIGOULOT SUCCEES IS BALANCE....he was a gymnast.... and in 1920'" lifters never use jumps or thig srenght....just pull with arms .... Koklyaev never learn that .but barbell take off more hight !!!!! .. but forearm cannot follow...LARATT or CYPLENKOV can do this lift...im sure !!!!
