I shoot this video in summer 2020.
Andrey is a really strong and modest athlete. If you want to see more videos about him and not only - leave comments and subscribe to the channel.
When he said "Everyone who trains is worthy of respect" 💪
I felt that
@Con Quistador he never used anything but orals
@Con Quistador lol you wish
Thank him period 🙏🏻
Real life hulk....😄😄😄
A man like him is born once in a genaration. He shouldn't go unknown to the world. Respect.
Yeah thats funny. He is on roids and his body responds well to it
@@hulkman245 his body responds REALLY well to it that's the point
@@arty7542 I heard that roids get your lifts up by 10-15%, so even if Andrey didn't do roids. He will have a 145kg weighted chinup, but I think that what the steroids truly help in is in recovery. Andrey has a job in a factory and a family, So with the fact that he is in a schedule demanding job and has a family, recovery is the most important and the steroids definitely help alot.
@@hulkman245 there are people who take 10x more gear than him and are not as nearly as strong or jacked
@@hulkman245 Exactly! Anyone can buy 'roids' and eat and bend weights!
he is not spoiled by social media and fame, he is just a young guy living his life and providing his family and doing what he loves. Respect.
"So that my daughter can see that her father does not smoke and does not drink alcohol and plays sports"
This guy just earned my respect fully! A human being at its best! Bravo!
One of the few big guys that I respect!
He and Brian Shaw are a class act!
Her father does not smoke or drink alcohol, he just do roids. Hate this kind of hypocrisy.
@@simonedatola3353 On the one side of the argument, its hypocrisy, on the other side of the argument, its a choice of life.
You want to be the best? You have to make sacrifices.
I am against steroid use, but unfortunately, with the world as it is currently (and until superpowers are a thing) steroids are what we can use to be at our utmost best.
Btw, don't be fooled. Other addictions like the ones you mentioned, are addictions that people do because they are pleasant to them. They are ecstatic.
Don't think for a moment that steroids are the same. You stuck needles into you in order to efficiently destroy your muscle fibers through exercise and replenish them as fast as possible.
As far as i am concerned, drinking and smoking especially do not make humans better at something (?). Excluding some wine while studying, but you get the point.
I don't get this salutist paternal from someone who injects stuffs into himself to "be the best". I'm fine with using steroids for your own reasons but please don't make this kind of "my daughter has a good example" bs.
@@simonedatola3353 if his genetics allows him to use roids and feel comfortable, it’s not bad, not everyone can get that big and strong, maybe only 2% of the men population in the world
Andrey should compete for sure. Pure strength
Great job showcasing this humble giant to the International audience!!! Even though he's a total opposite of a publicity-seeking insta model, he deserves some attention.
Compete for sure, but in what sports/category?
@@quelandil5738 streetlifting (weighted pullups, weighted dips)
Андрей, а на русском не вариант?!
@@carlos_diebold_sw there are contests for that? Didnt know. But yeah he'd probably doninate that!
Are these disciplines more famous in russia?
So this guy does a world class benchpress and then he casually can perform basicaly any hard streetworkout element? This is next level superhuman strenght
This Is Russia
@M D get better genetics.
@M D peds aint shit if you dont got the genetics
@M D he mentioned that he uses dbol
"Superhuman" not even close! More like super drug abuser. Lol take away his precious dbol and watch him revert back to his true pathetic form. 🤣 if you do not have a medical conditions that requires steroids then you shouldn't be using it. Have some damn pride in yourself!
No tattoos, piercings, colours, nothing artificial - how clean and simple his look is... I feel makes his appearance even more impressive and perfect
Doing front lever, human flag, and one armed pull ups at his size is absolutely insane, what a beast!
He's incredibly level headed and wise for a 22 year old, people grow up fast in Russia it seems, shame more folks don't have the work ethic that Andrey has.
a hard life makes you evolve, people in their 20's in eastern europe are much more mature and serious because you have to be like thst to survive, work, and be ok with yourself having poor conditions, work with anything you have and be grateful for iy
People grow up faster in poor countries fella. I know that for a fact
A calm sea doesn't build a strong and wiser sailor
@MIKE TYSON Mike Tyson is American. You are a liar. :)
Nah
Maximum respect for hard working people like him! Only 500 dolars a month for him and his family and still manages to train hard with hard job in factory and have such amazing results. Respect from Latvia Andrey 🇱🇻🔥💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Smaev is a big child. Smaev is a crybaby who didnt participate in any mens competition. He has 1001 apologies instead. He says that he doesnt have this or that, cries all the time hiding for his wife and child. Even Denis Tsiplenkov the famous armwrestler said that Smaev is a crybaby and instead of crying he should do at least something! Even Denis said it!
@@tomsawyer8041 Andrey doesn't owe anybody to compete. He explicitly stated, that he doesn't train to prove anything to anybody, but himself.
@@tomsawyer8041 He has other priorities too
@@tomsawyer8041 lmao what are you on about
@@tomsawyer8041 lol i see you crying in every comment in here
Absolutely humbling. His strength, work ethic, humility, wisdom, and maturity. Married at 22? Respect🙌🏾
There are more important things in life than being popular and competing. The fact this guy figured it out so young is amazing. Hope he keeps learning about himself, learning about his family, and leads the rest of his life as well as he's lead his body to be.
Andrey is a true inspiration. Not only through his phenomenal physical ability, but also his humility, his values and his wisdom.
Humanity*
To be the strongest man in the world, and yet to be so humble, I really admire it and it inspires time to learn that type of humility.
The real question is, how do we get him to Dubai to train with Larry Wheels?
Agree
It will never happen. Smaev is a crybaby who didnt participate in any mens competition. He has 1001 apologies instead. He says that he doesnt have this or that, cries all the time hiding for his wife and child. Even Denis Tsiplenkov the famous armwrestler said that Smaev is a crybaby and instead of crying he should do at least something! Even Denis said it!
@@tomsawyer8041 ?,can you show me the evidence that Cyplenkov said that?
@@aleksijeliazkow2302 It's obviously a lie, because Denis Cyplenkov is just like Andrey a teddy bear in a hulks body, he wouldn't speak so disrespectfully of his buddy!
@@user-ps1iu5fh4i yeah i think so too
In the german school i went to there was 1 russian guy in my class. He was far stronger than any other german kid and not just by a little. im talking 80-100% but he was always humble and would never abuse his power. Just a good person to be around.
Interesting. I haven't trained with any Russians so don't know
I’m calling 🧢 on that. Germans have pretty good strength genetics, lots of German bodybuilders historically. Pretty good number of weightlifting medals, inventor of the bench press was German.
@@James12361 germans have good muscle porportions for bodybuilding but slavs have good strength genetics
@@James12361 Plus 1st and 2nd place winners of the europes strongest man this year were ukrainians.
@@prymewolf5572 I don't think so, some of the best strength genetics are of people from Scandinavia(particularly from Iceland). That's why they have dominated World's strongest man competition for years
When I saw this video I felt I found my brother ... huge respect from India Andre .. brother keep going I wish I could train with you 🙏
so in sync with life , mind and body. what a great person. This what living on your own terms out of infected society looks like.
He doesn't live outside of an infected society, he works minimum shitwage in a factory. So sad, he deserves better
I'm surprised that bar can hold him and that weight without even flinching
That's russian bar.
Russian steel
Right? That bar looks so skinny and the metal sheet holding it looks so flimsy. Plus it probably goes 30 degrees under 0 regularly
That's a Russian playground bar
@@codingninjas4609😁
What I loved the most about this man is his humbleness and shyness, especially when he didn’t want to show his body with his shirt off. Respect ✊
The guy is physically a monster but is the most wisest and nicest 22 year old Ive ever seen.
🤣 The wisest you've EVER seen....Why?
Because he doesn't drink or smoke 🤣
@@MiggsMultiple ?
@@SugaFree2387 ?
@@tappajaav ?
@@MiggsMultiplebecause he doesn't giggle like you
he is such a humble guy, hope he and his family stay healthy
It's rare that you see a human who feels more comfortable moving with his arms than his legs with 150kg attached to his body. Truly remarkable, I hope more people can appreciate this young man!
I can not appreciate this man because he admits to using steroids. There is no reason at 22 to be using peds! His slogan "to be like me you have to work in factory and take peds for strength" LOL shut up you drug addict.
@@user-ps1iu5fh4i There is no difference between the too. Both are drug addicts! I see you did not think that one through. 🙃
@@ryannechvatal9888 One is a deceptive liar and one is honest. I do think there is a big difference. How do you know he is an addict? Are you jealous of this man?
@@inkarnaatiofin8900 In order to maintain his physique he will have to keep taking steroids. Which means he is a drug addict. I am not jealous of this man I am disgusted.
@@ryannechvatal9888 Then you should also be disgusted by 95% of elite professional athletes and every other body builder ever. Youre not wrong, he will be taking more than just steroids, but i guarantee if you took the same you wouldnt be half what he is. He has freak genetics and works like a slave even with a factory job and little equipment.
This guy is a BEAST! "Everyone who trains is worthy of respect" 💪
He is such a genuine and humble guy. I wish him a lot of success.
The most impressive thing Is that not only hes a God with weights but also with calisthenics skills. Usually guy as big as him struggle a lot even with normal pullups and he can do One arm pullups with ease. This Is out of this world
his arms are pure muscle and theyre as big inside as outside, so fast twitch musculature is absurdly large
usually guys who are good in calisthenic can not deadlift 120 kg too
@@leandrotocalini weirdly soothing to hear. I've gotten stronger since I started exercising but I still struggled trying to do even one pull up. Should I start doing calistenthics as well?
@@kukifitte7357 Always do chinups/pull ups and dips at the gym. I do pull ups 4 times a week but sadly I cannot do dips due to mobility issues on my scapula
@@meathead5489 Alright I will, thx
This is the guy that nobody would believe what he was capable of when he was younger if he was born 40-50 years earlier. But gladly today he is able to film these awesome feats of strength.
This has motivated me to take pullups more seriously.
There's no such thing as a wrong accent, man. You have one of the best Russian accents I've ever heard. Be proud of it.
Now... That's STRENGTH. I could literally watch a whole video of a day in the life of him. He needs to compete in something.. He could be the greatest... That's amazing. Totally old school as well...
“I’m gonna do 100 kg pull up for 10 sets”
yeah i just barely did 7kg dumbells curls.That had me wondering if i could be strong too
Impressive man. Soft-spoken, humble, healthy values. And needless to say, the strength....wow!
And handsome too 💪🏼😍💪🏼
Great guy and so strong.
Thats the whole point. Be humble and unseen and have a free mind away from distractions. Which is why he is good at what he does. Most people spend too much time worrying about what to do and all these things but don't take time to be humble and put in work for themselves not flexing on IG
Amazing video, respect Andrey!!!
No. Some people want their short bit of fame, and that's their personal entire point of training. Not everyone's goals are the same.
not everyone can afford steroids either
True! Dorian Yates did the same thing. All oldschool strength-athletes and Bodybuilders did that, because at that time there was no Internet.
How does being humble help? You think it takes time to not be humble? This is stupid logic.
So real Superman fell down in a small Russian town
This man's heart is pure and his strength is raw... Beautiful combination.
Imagine having this guy as your father. What a great example especially for young men!
I am very happy to see this hardworking person, he gives huge importance to exercise and prevent himself from bad habits . People like him should be given opportunities to showcase their talent and i am actually very shocked to see his improvement without high tech equipment
God bless this man
The real protagonist 💉
@@salvatoregraziano4890 you couldn't look like him or be as nearly as strong as him even if you took all gear in the world bud, takes a one in 100 million genetic speciment to respond to roids that well. Plus in case you didn't know gear won't make you magically grow without doing jack shit, you still have to have a really good work ethic and work your ass off almost every day to achieve some results.
@@Fishzterv.2 as a drug free bodybuilder and expecially an guy who, before get weight i get books, i can say at 100% the true, all those steroids, GH, clembuterone ecc... the real gain is around the 30-25% or less.
A guy who workout and get the perfect diet, the doped one ALWAYS reach at last 3-4X time than you.
(And i dont say doping=only steroids, i mean all the drugs they get)
True story, just inform yourself stop see the rock or mr olimpia kids...
Also.. whit that mediocre attitude, if a guy is ecthomorph and reach the max, is still a sh*, when the endo-mesomorph who randomly go to gim, and whitout a good diet is a God for you?
See ppl from the start, not from what become.
Also a real "genetic guy", if you wanna see, the real genetic, whatch him BEFORE all workout ecc.
Good luck for your style of life 💪.
@@salvatoregraziano4890 I'm not talking about overall genetics, I'm talking about having genetics that respond very well on gear. For example I may look better than that guy if he was natty, but if we both took gear he would absoultely smoke me in strenght and looks. And btw he was a beast before the roids too, he has really good genetics in gereral it just so happens he has a very good response to PDs too. And why am I telling this guy is one in 100 mil, because he literally is like I don't care about how much gear does he take or what gear exactly that guy is still inhumanly strong and can do such weight movements which even the strongest people in the world can't even tho they probs take the same amount if not way more gear than this guy does.
@@Fishzterv.2 ok, just dont follow them 💪.
They want only money, ego, and eyes.
They pratice the art of stole, disinformation, fake...
Most of them, not all of them.
Andrei deiu for exaple..
An ex obese...
Its already fun.. an obese can NEVER reach a metamolism and % of less fat than a normal person..
And now that trash compete for olimpia ...
Immagine how many drugs he takes.
The worst are the ppl who support that fake kid.
The important its workout for yourself💪🖒.
What a sportsman - Convincing and motivating. Thank you so much. That keeps me going (58 yrs old).
Тёзка мой Андрюха ты молоток я за тебя держу кулачки будь здоров паря и будь сильнее всех мне не суждено было стать таким накачанным и сильным как ты.
What makes him special is his balanced size, leaving him capable of doing street calesthenics. He can move. Awesome.
and the roids
@@BlackMamba-lt8oe you making it sound like roids alone give you that result and not hours and days of dedicated work? Idk if that was you're intention or not or if you were just simply implying that he must also be taking steroids along side his strong will dedication.
@@matthewhumphrey496 without roids do u get gains 😂😂😂😂, go and try natty
@@BlackMamba-lt8oeSome people genetics is so shitty that they take roids and immediately die...
So even for that you need good genetics.
@@stefdiazdiaz7067 yes bro ur comment should get a award, like Ronnie and dexter they have used roids, it depends on genetics if ur body accepts the roids
I hope this guy gets the recognition it deserves amd enters the arm wrestling or powerlifting stage asap. At just 22 he is out of this world
I hope he does'nt.
@@adragonro why so?
Simultaneously the most modest and most impressive physical specimen. Great message as well. Amazing
Wrong accent? brother, your accent is perfect, I was able to understand and I really enjoyed your content. Amazing work, much love from USA.
After watching this video I feel like get off my bed and exercising. So motivating
Enormous humility and strength in one person. Amazing
Thank you from Ecuador!!
He’s a monster with a good heart. Great to see
Superhuman strength and yet such modesty and humbleness.
Absolute legend ❤️
Голос Андрея я узнаю через сильнейший акцент. Андрюха красава!
Man... this guy is an example of a real "SUPERHUMAN". Completely humble and well with himself out of ego. So much respect 👏👏👏👏
What a cool guy, man. Andrey Smaev's story is extremely humbling and inspiring. Fantastic video.
Sounds like a very humble and carefree dude. The best athletes don't chase any fame just the dream.
Yeah real talk! Because if he was American we all know he'll be arrogant, selfish and disrespectful AF for sure.
I think today is the day I get back to weight lifting
You will never look like him, relax
@@ENZOxDV9 Neither will you
@@roffe8751 don't want to
@@ENZOxDV9 why so negative
@@ENZOxDV9 Dont worry. You never will. And you never could.
This guy got the perfect mindset. I wish many more would have his charming mindset. Perfection
Most inspiring athlete so far. Hope he never change is mind set and stay humble.
We need more people with such a mindset. Respect from Bulgaria
Hope this video blows up and the world will know more about him!
Devan is right!!
Someone plz get this guy to come
and participate in arm wrestling or
other strength sports competition because he is so
freaking gifted and talented. He
will be the next big thing.
A beautiful man and a beautiful story. Thank you.
Very good Video . This guy really shows what's possible and how good of a mindset he has.
I really hope dude gets some sponsors
Even though he clearly said he isn't remotely interested in commercial bullshit.
Amazing guy... so humble and down-to-earth. I hope he will consider competing though... if not for himself, then for his family... but even if he doesn't he has a lucky wife and kid.
Дай Бог тебе Андрюша здоровья и процветании.Всё у тебя в переди👍🏿
Bodybuilding, Crossfit, Strongman, Powerlift or MMA. I am sure he can do it all
Mma 😂🤣
And armwrestling
Calisthenics lifting.... olímpic or Greco-Roman wrestling.... Masswrestling...etc
Lol mma no chance
It's a little too late for MMA. If he started 10 years ago, sure. Also you can't carry around that much mass in a sport like mma, he'd need to slim down. But i'm sure he could become champion at arm wrestling, in 3-4 years he should learn enough technique
He's only 22 and has that muscle development and strength? If he wasn't so happy with where he was, he'd have a glorious career in strength sports - but I respect him even more for that attitude.
Great video! Really interesting to get to see another part of the world like this.
Pure Respect to the man with that will, that can't be matched easily. 🙏
Wow, what an inspiration this guy is for people like us who can't afford to go to the gym. Respect 👍
Будь здоров,Андрей и чемпионствуй во всех дисциплинах!
This guy is so humble 🙏❤ Can someone just sponsor this guy
Impressive! I came from Brazil, just to say that this guy motivates a lot o people here in my country
Just one word for this guy " respect" bro🤜🤛
Never apologize for your accent, only by doing the video in the language that is not your mother language is worth of respect! Great video and Smaev looks like an amazing person! Salute from Brazil!
Great vid - and I like your accent! André is a humble monster and an inspiration. Respect.
Great video! I hope he will reconsider about competing. He can easily earn better life for his family. Plus, for us - the fans of strength sports, it would be such a miss to not be able to see what such a talented man is truly capable of.
This guy could smash the hell out of lockdown on a serious note he is a awesome human being
I’m stunned and also happy no comment about PED, this makes me happy because regardless it’s all hard work ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Dude is a weapon ✊🏽
Very nice quality and editing. Thanks for the video.
Amazing young guy,such great mindset
I just hope he wasn’t shipped off to Putin’s war. This magnificent specimen needs to be preserved.
Respect. That kind of power and humility is a rare combo.
This guy needs to compete and grab greatness cause he deserves it all, he's too humble for the insane things he does. I wanna see him break world records and train with the most powerful dudes out there.
Calisthenics + Strongman = Andrey smaev
"Я понимаю что как бодибилдер я выглядеть не буду, но спортивно-подтянутым может быть" Вот это он приколист
He is incredibly Strong and Athletic. Thank you for posting and don't worry about your accent.
This man is a one of a kind keep up the awesome work and keep motivating Sr
He kinda looks like reagn grimes, he is the example of 1% top genetics.
0.00001%*
Lol regan grimes probably cant even do push ups without his knees on the ground
@@varolussalsanclar1163 I meant Andreys face kinda resembles regan grimes lol
Top 1% genetics - possibly. Unequivocal work ethic - 100%.
Actually, yes... cousins.
In a positive note. This is the Russia people want to see and get inspired.
The athletes, the dedicated engineers and the people dedicated to their craft. I wish we get better leaders next time so the world is railed in the right direction.
What a humble young man. It goes to show the only limit is what we set for ourselves. Keep up the good work.👍💪
Thanks for making this video and motivating us🙌👍
Enormous respect for him! He must do perfomances for sure, he looks like a god!
This should have thousands of likes. Impressive guy!
Not a lot of people know about this but Andrey's English is also pretty good. He's definitely able to communicate in English.
Damn this guy is a different breed, inspiring seeing someone who isn’t very fortunate but still has no excuses to train at a park and not a gym (rarely). Gotta give this man credit he deserves 💯 he going be something big in the future for sure 🦾
His circumstances are unfortunate but he has them 1 in a million genetics tho
It will never happen. Smaev is a crybaby who didnt participate in any mens competition. He has 1001 apologies instead. He says that he doesnt have this or that, cries all the time hiding for his wife and child. Even Denis Tsiplenkov the famous armwrestler said that Smaev is a crybaby and instead of crying he should do at least something! Even Denis said it!
@@tomsawyer8041 Andrey doesn't owe anybody to compete. He explicitly stated, that he doesn't train to prove anything to anybody, but himself.
@@arstans1777 More like 1 in a billion.
He's blessed with wife and daughter. He's making enough to provide his life in a small village. So I wouldn't call him not very fortunate. His salary is about 40000 rub and I imagine the rent in his whereabouts is something within 5000-10000 rub. I just compared average salary in Norway, which is believed around 50000 NOK and some nice apartment rent there about 20000 NOK.
So, ofcourse there is a difference in a level of life, but far from dramatic.
Super strong and super humble! Great to see!
Круто, тут больше ничего не скажешь. Молодец.Андрею нужно на международные соревнования по Стронгмену.
Главное сохранить здоровье. Не подорвать на зрелищах. Чтобы эт возможности шло. Может - делает.
I hope he knows he’s inspiring a lot of people to challenge themselves and live with dignity and respect.
Love how simple this guy is
Strong and humble af. Much respect ❤️
What an extremely humble guy for someone of his strength 💪💪
