This guy way back in the 1950's lifted 6270 pounds on his back and walked with it. no one has done it since. check out his movie on this site.

not many people do the back lift anymore. it was like a huge table like thing. i read about it in Milo strength journal before. It isn't a lift that anyone does anymore and it isn't contested at strength meets anymore.

Yeah, that guy is sick. I've read about his squats and milk program. Sounds like fun to me. Haha.

Here he is doing it with a group of men sitting on top. not the best picture but it was all i could find. anyway, you get the point. kind of like lifting up a table.

Posted by: CowPimp

Here it says he did an overhead press with about 400 pounds. Animal.

Posted by: P-funk

they said he squated over 1000lbs raw

dude was a beast. I don't think they had steroids back then either.

Yeah, and certainly no squat suits. He also used to do partial squats with 2000lbs.

There is a difference between good, and someone whose name echos through the ages.

oh realy? I stand corrected then.

Yea, I honestly believe that Anderson was a total genetic freak.

Posted by: NEW_IN_THE_GAME

I mean echo and echo again, this guy if awesome, i cant wait till that movie gets here. i mean shit. we need to find someone who is trying to beat this. there has got to be someone somewhere. but then again the article posted by cowpimp says he could lift 3000 pounds at 22. damn

Posted by: Mudge

Even if he had used, which honestly I'm going to guess he hadn't, he still would have been unquestionably a freak. Some people get the luck of the draw with build and genetic makeup.

when you get the video let us know how it is? I would like to know what the quality of the footage of him is like. I would imagine it to be not so good.

I agree.

Just to throw it out there.....Given what genetic capabilities he already had and the freakish strength he possessed. I wonder what would have happened if he were around today knowing what they guys know about steroids and cycles?

Posted by: myCATpowerlifts

See, everytime I hear/see someone like this who is so powerful or massive, that MIGHT not have been on steroids and such...
makes me want to see what they could have been if they were on them.

I heard about a grandma picking up a car but I think it was only about 3,500lbs...
