- Apollon, born Louis Uni in Marsillargues in 1862, was a massively influential French strongman and performer. Cutting a large figure from a young age, Apollon ran away from home at the age of 14 to join the circus as a strongman. Apollon was noted for his grip strength but his brute strength was notable as well - the frenchman could clean and jerk 341 lbs. and famously hoisted two train wheels, weighing 366 lbs., overhead. This is where the familiar strongman implement "Apollon's Wheels" gets its name." In our second Legend's series installment, we visit Apollon's hometown as well as some notable locations from the strongman's life.

i really love these documentaries.
Now we know him as a legend and his likeness will be preserved and respected for all time. Great man!
Such a fantastic series! Dr Todd will be missed.
damn what a beast, an incredible gifted guy.
Another home run, Rogue. Many thanks.
These are awesome would like to see one for Paul Anderson
Yes!
Absolutely
It's great that we keep the memories of these guys alive, the real MVPs
I'd like to have the references of the books seen in that documentary. I'm always surprised to see how strength culture was huge in my country and has mostly disappeared today.
Long before drugs became a factor there were men like this. He'd crush todays competitors on an even playing field.
Another wonderful story
Fantastic work, Rogue. Another amazing short film giving insight into the history of strength.
I hope you guys keep these coming their awesome. I would love to see Arthur Saxon and Pytor Kryloff.
Better films about famous atheletes alltime. Lou Uni - without doubt, one from them. Quality - best ever. Thank you "Rogue"!
Would love to see episodes on Arthur Saxon and Hermann Goerner.
Psychodynamic Natural History Dpt., Miskatonic University second this!
Hell yeah man... I most definitely 3rd this! In fact, The IRON Master & Goernerr the Mighty are EASILY amongst my ALL-TIME Favourite TOP 5 LEGIT Oldetime Strongmen, by FAR! Alongside and next to Alexander Zass a.k.a. The Amazing Samson, Joseph L. Greenstein a.k.a. The Mighty Atom & The EPIC Muscle Control Master, Maxick!
So yeah man, I definitely CAN'T wait 'till they're gonna do one for Hermann Goerner, Alexander Zass, Joseph L. Greenstein & Maxick---as they've already DONE one of Arthur Saxon---and a damn good & awesome one at that! 😎💪👊
Hope you keep this great series going. Really enjoyed it. Thank you!!!!!
Loving these documentaries long may they last
It seems clear that this series was intended to have much more episodes. Please make and release them!!
He looks like a buff Freddie Mercury.
His hands are ridiculously huge. What a monster. I often wonder what would these legacy athletes think if they knew how long they would be remembered. What would be their reaction to know that millions of people are watching a documentary about them 100 years later on a device that conveys information instantaneous.
Dr. Terry and Jan Todd speak of these legends with such passion and genuine admiration. It's like hearing someone tell you family stories. The Todd family is a treasure of strength sports. As for Apollon, I love that the question of how much he could've lifted is brought up. I'd also ask, with the right motivation and coaching - since he was regarded as somewhat lazy - how much could he have lifted?
These ARE great! Keep 'em coming!
More of these please
Thank You for Uploading
As someone else here pointed out, there should be a program about the great Paul Anderson, truly one of the strongest men ever to walk the earth.
Amazing series! Thanks Rogue!
Brilliant, thanks folks.
Thanks these are great! Makes me wonder who was stronger between Apollon and Cyr, speaking of which I'd love to see something on the great Canadian strongman.
Cyr was stronger, but trained to his potential. Apollon was larger and probably no where near maxing out his strength because there was really no reason to.
People say he was lazy ... he just wanted his REST DAYS !!
This is amazing. Thank-you
Great video. Really really interesting!
Great documentary, very motivational.
He was obscenely handsome.
Would you think of doing a documentary about John Grimek?
When are we going to see a chapter 3? Who will it focus on?
How heartbreaking
What's the name of the song playing in the beginning? The beat is relaxing
He is not rogue, but real legend
15:08 Apollon standing next to a normie really shows how big he was...massive
Where are the other vids a series needs more than 2 episodes
What's weird is nobody mentions the historical context of Apollon's "escape" routine. Loose guess he was evoking Les Miserables? Why else applaud a prisoner escaping?
Age is a shame....you can't keep doing these things for-ever. Eventually..something breaks.
gym in edison n.j. usa named after him ,i saw gaspari there ,,hes
a native of edison nj....
where is the grave of apollon? in Euvreux?
Are you going to bother doing Louis Cyr? Historica Canada already has a really good documentary on him.
At 1:30 - where is that timeline located? Is that at rogue hq??
Should I hazard a guess it looks like UT Austin. Watch the one on Dr. Todd.
Intro song anyone??
Sadly, Appolon is not even known by French strongmen so how can he be an icon in France????
YOU MIGHT ADD ''TONY SANSOME ''...AMERICAN BODY BEAUTIFUL.......DID HE EVER MARRY ????
That's the demon that rises from the pit in the Bible
His face and hair remind me of the comedian R.I.P. Taylor or the pianist/showman Liberace.
Сделайте русские субтитры
He dd al dz without da technology n research da guys dexe guys had..fo wat he did..we probably ddnt c da best of him..i fink he only reached 80%..witg supplements n trainings deze days fink hell probably world champion or top 2 easy
Sure I respect them for the great fitness revolution they started and continue to inspire all of us but I think ppl should know their both sides not just their good side. Sandow(who claimed to backlift more than Cyr via doctored photographs refused to compete with Cyr ) and Hackkenshmidt (exposed using fake wieghts/incorrect wieghts by Sandow himself,escaped several wrestling matches against actual champions claiming to be injured or have flu).
proof....
This is not chapter 2. This is the beginning of chapter 1 or if you may , the first 21 minutes of it.
JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK PEOPLE REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR TODAY NOT TOMORROW PEOPLE WHICH IS PROMISED TO NOONE ON THIS EARTH AT ALL
