Thanks for Watching! Please comment who you believe is stronger👍
Sir I think that Larry wheels
@strength Universe, can you do a comparison between Stan Efferding v.s Mike O'Hearn? Would be an interesting comparison especially with the history of them both applying for the same role in Gladiators US! Cheers
Redo this at some point down the line please, feel like Andre has levelled up since this was done.
Imagine if Smaev would have the access to the same equipment, knowledge, coaches and gear as Larry.
Gear he for sure have
@@goldtaker95 not good quality gear he has an interview talking about it
he would beat the living shit out of ♿
@@walterashworth1011 where?

The fact that Larry gets compared to so many people just shows how world renown he is for his unbelievable strength.
True, he was one of the best Powerlifters in the World
Or how many boring Noobs are on KZhead who haven't heard of anyone else and lack imagination. Larry is awesome though ;)
@@StrengthUniverse you could tell from that photo even at 14 he had some great genetics
@@ash_classicphysique Then how come he lost to Schoolboy?
@@jsims1617 im not sure what your point is?? Arm wrestling is a spealist strength sport that he is dabbling in.
The most impressive thing is that Andrey doesnt even train powerlifting that much.
Im a bit late to this video, but after doing some research on Andrey, he's the strongest guy I've ever seen. Although he holds no "outright" records etc. He is world class in virtually any lifting/strength sport. The guy is 120kg body weight and can do 1 arm pull ups, +160kg pull ups, 270kg bench presses, and look like a bodybuilder at the same time. On top of that, the guy has limited resources available given his financial position in a Russian village. If Andrey had as much support as Larry, I honestly believe he would be significantly stronger than him; bear in mind Andrey is only like 23 years old as well, Larry is like 28 now, therefore we are yet to see a fraction of Andrey's prime. This is no disrespect at all to Larry; the guy is an absolute 1 in 100 million monster, but theres something about Andrey that makes him so special in the lifting scene. Perhaps its his versatility in all sports, but I really hope someone takes him to the west and gets his name out there.
A lot of people (me included) would love to see Andrey travelling to the West and featuring in Larry's videos. This is unlikely, however, as he lives and works in a closed town Sarov, one the Russian nuclear research centers. This means essentially that even as a Russian you cannot go visit him. Hence, most of the videos with other people are actually made in neighbouring towns and villages (or Moscow), at least 50-100 km from where he lives. On top of that, Andrey probably has some sort of security clearance as he works at a nuclear research facility (as a locksmith but still).
It’s unlikely that anyone will be able to take it to the west. Even in Russia they cannot drag him out of his village. He refuses to sign contracts, refuses to go to famous bloggers in larger cities. Many bloggers in the Russian media space hate him for his lack of business sense, unwillingness to leave his village and realize his potential
@@ruslan_nurgaleev i feel like thats a bit of an arbitrary reason to hate someone though. I think its actually a testament/lesson in humility. Andrey is not the first freakshow out there who doesn't care about records and just wants to have fun; if hes documented, think of all the others like him who are undocumented and don't want the social media life. lesson is we should always stay humble, theres always a guy out there whos crazier.
@@ruslan_nurgaleev Do you know why he is unwilling to leave?
@@Bjorn_R self respect idk
This is exactly as I would have expected from these two elite level lifters - Larry would dominate powerlifting and Andre would dominate the calisthenics.
We are need updated comparison. Smaev is 140kg machine now.
I will be revisiting this soon
Larry was not doing full pull ups, The other guy had a dip belt on and he was getting much higher.
In my humble opinion this world needs to see this collab
I will say Andrey’s curl is significantly better, not only due to what was said, but the grip he’s using is far more difficult.
After watching Andrey from when he started to post videos, I believe that if he had all the equipment and all the supplement and other finance related things, he would be stronger than larry
And if my 22 year old Cousin started training MMA at 12 instead of 17, I bet he would beat Charles Olivera. See how stupid that sounds? XD. How do you know Smaev has bad coaches?
Larry wasn't rich when he was young
@@nehmanator333smaev never had a coach, he lives in a town where there’s no gyms except some pull up bars in the park and a little gym in someone’s house
@@yort99999he had access to the gym that has more equipment than one barbell and a pull up bar
Thank you for taking the time to make top tier videos. ! Always enjoy the comparisons and appreciate the time you take!
No worries bud, I'm pleased you like them
@@StrengthUniverse So humble. Thanks again buddy!
Enjoyable video as always Mr Strength Universe. Also, I'm pretty surprised that Larry can crack out 61 dips. Sure the form wasn't the best towards the end, but I'm still pretty impressed. But it is Larry, so I probably shouldn't be surprised.
Thank you, like wise I was surprised he could achieve so many in a lift he doesn't normally do.
@@StrengthUniverse While it’s true he doesn’t usually perform dips, he’s still Larry and is a 600+ lb bench presser. 🤣😂
Can we all agree that Strengh in general is a very specific skill, you can be super strong and move alot of weight in certain lifts, but on others you will move less, even if people who are "weaker" than you will move alot more than you.
One word: Genetics
I have been training hybrid calisthenics for more than 13 years, that is, calisthenics and heavy weight and I can tell you that the physical strength is exceptional. And clearly we can see that larry is a bit stronger than smave
@@StrengthUniverse two words: training specificity. It depends on what you train.
If Smaev had some ambitions for competitions, I'm sure he has the tools to match Larry in his top lifts.
Let's go! Been wanting to see this one the most.
Awesome video! Can you do Eddie Hall vs Daniel Bell
Smaev working at night shifts same time married + child. In this moment Smaev did 301 kg bunch press & curls lifting revers grip 138 kg 6 rep's
Great video Strength universe. I see that you played fair not to compare only weightlifting.
Thank you, I tried to make it as balanced as possible to show both athletes strengths
did the microphone quality get better ? nice vid !
Thanks. Same Mic, just experimenting with levels etc
Ik u usually only do super heavy weights but could u do a comparison between justin lee and matt vena
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look.
@@StrengthUniverse thanks bro🤜
Both elite monsters 💪
Wow They are both monsters and are among the few in the world with that power 💪🏻💪🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sooo Larry is stronger at what he specializes in (powerlifting) and Andrey is stronger at what he specializes in (calisthenics), jee who would've thunk it. As mentioned in the vid, an arm-wrestling match between them is gonna be awesome to see, however, I'd give the edge on Smaev as calisthenics carries much more over to arm-wrestling, than powerlifting does.
In Marine Corps boot camp I did 112 consecutive pull ups at 160lbs. The D.I. made me get off the bar so others could practice. Not a record because it was not during competition. I also did 130 shuttle crunches in 45 seconds. Mike Company 3022 Aug 1996 thru Nov 1996. Look at up. I was a beast at 160. No strength training or the like. Just sports.
Could you give me a link to what you want me to search up because its a bit unclear.
what you mean by consecutive pull ups? consecutive to me means non stop, no hanging, if you could do 112 non stop you could do weighted with 200kg plus kilo! most ive seen is 50/60 reps non stop. Ive seen hanging which is incredible grip endurance strength but its still resting at the bottom of the rep. The record for that is ridiculous over 600, not seen the vid for that though but seen a guy do over 100, he was hanging from the bar for 10 mins! which is incredible grip strength but he's not doing them continous.
needs an update!
U should redo this vid now to accommodate for how much smaev has grown in strength
You are probably the 5th person to request this😂. As soon as I have the time I will do so👍
I don’t even care to compare, they are 2 monsters and tremendous strong man. Or “bagatiri” like Russians would say. That’s said, the 1 arm pull up of Andrey weighting 120 kg is probably the most impressive feat of strength I have ever seen. As a person of 110kg that have trained pull ups for years I am truly shocked
I don't know if you have seen but Andrey just achieved a one arm pull-up at 150kg bodyweight. mind blowing stuff
Do a comparison between hafthor and tom stoltman plz
Naaah bro we need to see those 2 legends live
Are those hormone tests available in Canada?
Andrey é um super Atleta e vai surpreender a muitos na queda de braço 🇧🇷👍
Remember that andrey had claimed in the past to only use oral steroids and that he mostly specialises the upper body imagine his potential with a strength coach and the right use of peds Nonetheless respect to larry he is a true example of a top level athlete strong humble and inspiring
💪👌
bro make a video about eugenios slidis , he has a guiness world record in dips, he is truly strong. learn about it please
Bigger question..how do they stack up against kierkos grizzly
They both stronger than that f4t man kg per kg
How are you doing man?
Hey Martino, I'm doing well. Hope you're good
@@StrengthUniverse glad to hear that! I'm doing great, wish the best
can you do that comparison now?
I have seen that Andrey has been posting a lot of new lifts so yes I will revisit this comparison shortly
STRENGTH UNIVERSE - U must be bored comparing the same boring repetitive athletes people keep requesting. So one I always wondered - Strength comparison between Hulk Hogan and Lou Ferrigno. HULK VS HULK who was stronger???? Please do it for me :D
I'm working on a video about Hulk Hogan, assuming I can find all the info I need, it's a good idea
@@StrengthUniverse glad it's a good idea, I first pondered it when I was 6, I am now 39 years old ;)
Nice comparison
Thank you
Смаев наверное самый сильный парень которого я вообще видел
This is really rough comparison since Andrey does not bench or squat at all. He did some years ago, but he does not even train as a powerlifter
did you not watch the video? The Lifts of Andrey Vs Larry are from when they are both 18 (ish) years old and the video includes Dips and Pull-ups which both favour Andrey
@@StrengthUniverse Indeed. That's why video is pointless. Larry does not train pullups with extra weights while Andrey never competed as powerlifter. He only lifted for fun when he was a teenager.
@@AngryRoleplayer in his teenage years Andrew was very much into compound lifts until he started to lose his eyesight. If you think it’s pointless don’t watch it
If he specialised in powerlifting he'd defonitely be stronger
Andrey can do front levers, one arm pullups so overall he`s a stronger athelete
Проведи сейчас сравнения...
I was hoping there'd be some video out there showing Larry's weighted chinup or pullup PR to compare Smaev's feats to, but I guess not.
Unfortunately not
Smaev would defeat larry, if he gets high quality gear, training and coaches
Larry way stronger in static Strenght , 347 kg deadlift ,at lower bw, and after squat and bench (keep in mind) is way way way way more impressive than 306 x 3 with straps lmao . Bench was assisted and squat is INCOMPARABLE , almost 80 kg difference
if Smaev had been abused by Tren, like Larry, he would have become a monster
Larry's standard lifts are legendary, no question he wins here. However the dips and pullups form is quite bad by cali standards. Easy win there to Andrey. Also, for strength it the 10+ reps exercises are a weak metric. Andrey's max chin up is 160+ kg added weight. Larry would not be in the same league here. Conversely, Larry's max bench press, deadlift and overhead press are likely out of reach for Andrei for some time.
I think Andrey will take over Larry in the next few years
If he continued with compound lifts he may have come close but he has followed Larry into Armwrestling so maybe we will see them compete
Next benni magnusson
larrry #1
Quite interesting the difference is really in equipment, don't know what Smayev's takin', I've seen recent videos and he is starting to bald.
I don't know the detail other then it was cheap orals of some sort,
Larry's pull isnt good as smaev
Over all Larry is stronger.
Yes and no. They train different things
It was very very close, I think if there was another calisthenic based lift it would have been a win to Andrey
@@StrengthUniverse stop just stop larry almost lift 100lbs heavier weight on all 3 major lifts
@@micdoses1 there are 6 lifts in the video. 3 to Larry, 3 to Andrew
@@micdoses1 Larry couldnt even come close to andrey's calisthenics lift, and I believe that if Andrey would train like larry would he probably would be stronger than larry. He seems to have better genetics
i dont think the strict curl was fair the hand off didnt give that much advantage
It's not only the handoff but also the fact that Larry's bar had a more pronated grip and Larry weighed at least 30lbs more, these are big differences
2 il keçib Andrey sonuncu dəfə 300 kiloqramla jim lyoja edib yani çox şey dəyişib artıq
Wait . They market smaev as 6'5??? He is 6'1!?
He is 6'1"
Smaev solos
Pls do conor mcgregor😄😄😄👋🏻
Larry lift almost 100 pounds heavier on all 3 major lifts... Fook all of the other stuff! Nice strict curl tho.
I hear ya. You ever hear anyone say. Look thor, so you can deadlift 500+ kg... quite impressive but can you do 43 weighted dips?
Seems like you’re forgetting that Larry has access to better equipment, gear and he’s also followed by renowned coaches, ofc he’s gonna be better on sbd since he’s also a powerlifter (and Andrey isn’t)
Update the video.
Soon
Smaev benched 301 recently this stats are incorrect
All the stats were 100% accurate at the time of making this video
Larry used peds when he was 16 His birthdays in December so he was 16 in the year he used them he said
Larry said himself that he was 17 when he started
@@StrengthUniverse he said 16 in a 2018 video
@@basicmeme1040 In that video he does not actually say he started steroids at 16. He says that when he was 16 going on 17 he started hard drugs and partying and sometime a bit later he started steroids.
That video Larry failed at deadlift he hitched it judge said no lift so he shouldn't of won that so other dude actually won wow Larry lost one
If you pay attention to what's written on screen you would have seen it states "Substituted Video" e.g the clip used was not of the actual deadlift
@@StrengthUniverse well like I said Larry lost he is human bahaha still a strong dude tho not as much now but still Holmes thanx
For Larry dips you could have used the 15 reps with 60kg he did in the Strength Wars Movie
It wasn't taken to failure as the lifts in the video are
keep in mind larry is on gear, smaev isnt
Andrey is on gear
😂😂 that's funny...
Larry's all time PR is Squat 950 lbs Bench 675 Deadlift 900. Dude. Sit down. Larry holds real world records with real lifts. Dips and pull ups aren't power lifting lifts😭🤣😭.
I am fully aware of Larry's PR's. His Bench press of 675 was performed equipped with elbow Sleeves and wraps. The 950 squat was with knee wraps. As Andrey isn't a powerlifter it's not fair to only base the video on the big 3 lifts
You dont squat over 500 for reps rarely training legs lol.
Andrey does which goes to show his potential
Наш Андрей намного сильнее Ларри.
Larry versus Mickey mouse. Wheels have come off larry.
Black race vs white race, black won so Larry
You lost me at sumo. Thanks for another great video.
I've never seen such bad dips
Andrey Smaev, weighs 140 kg. and can do pull-ups with one arm. And recently I bench pressed 300+ kg.
Not even close! Larry is much stronger.
not in vertical pulling so nope not much stronger in every way
Andrey more raw strength
@@devoncyplenkov7746 streetleafting
The best thing is..smaev is natty And very2 strong without any help from any drugs..
Oh an armwrestling match between these two in next couple years is a MUST! Smaev is just amateur now, but who knows? 🦾
Smaev is definitly more impressive... Compare his pull ups and dips
larrys pullups isnt even close to all the way up. impressive reps nontheless. but in reality maybe 20 reps
Smaev has done 280kg bench. find it. Smaev was like 18-20 yrs when doing the powerlifting movements here.
I don't count assisted lifts
@@StrengthUniverse like Larry's elbow sleeves?as i didn't see his 305kg lift
@@D9Wx exactly, I try to only compare like for like lifts
They are both the same age for the lifts shown.
Smaev would beat larry in bench press if thats the foucs and thats insane to say. Hes also way younger. wow
