- Paul Anderson perhaps the strongest man who ever lived.
The 2 time US nationals weightlifting champion 1955, 1956
World weightlifting champion 1955
Olympic weightlifting champion 1956
Paul relied on pure brute strength and little technique in the Olympic lifts.
Luckily brute strength is something Paul had no shortage of. - Sport
The Guinness Book of World Records (1985 edition) lists his feat of lifting 6,270 lb (2,840 kg) in a back lift as "the greatest weight ever raised by a human being".
In the 1960's I saw Paul deadlift 630 without a warmup. And then squat 700 the same way. And he had been sick and was already retired. You had to see it to believe it. No drugs.
I knew him and he was a great person and preacher. R.I.Heaven Pah.
That's amazing 💪🏻
First. He wasn't a beast. He was The Beast of Beasts.
He definitely was Pete mate 💪🏻

IMAGINE HIM TODAY!
Imagine what he would lift today 💪🏻
Paul drove a gutter nail through 2 2x4's and it sounded like a gun shot!! I could not pull them apart. He was so fast. It was unreal. Then I saw him lift a table with 8 6 foot tall men and taller sitting on this table. He got under the table and lifted it with ease. Also. He signed my bible.. :) The Russians called him a freak of nature!! I have a picture of him lifting over 2 tons in a dead lift!! That bar was bending!!! Crazy stuff.
2 tons is 4000 lbs?
@@cols-muscle-power Yes.. Over 2.5 tons actually.. The Russians called Paul a freak of nature.
@@grabir01 sorry mate, Paul was strong but not that strong 💪🏻
@@cols-muscle-power He was. Paul lifting over 2.5 tons is in the Guness book of world records. Also. I am a witness to seeing Paul lift more than 1600lbs with ease. I was there. I know what I saw. Lifting 1600 lbs for Paul was simply warming up.
We would all love to see that picture of lifting 2 tons. It would be worth creating a YT account just to share that picture!
Mighty Atom Nr 1
Paul Anderson Giant of the World
Absolutely 💪🏻
He's still the strongest powerlifter. He full squatted 1115-lbs without any supportive gear. Completely amazing even today. Couple this with the fact that today's performance enhancing hormones didn't even exist back in the 1950s and you realize that the father of powerlifting is still unbeaten.
Oh yes, absolutely amazing 💪🏻
Steroids still existed. Not as intense of compounds, but still existed
@@cols-muscle-powerWhat existed in 1954, 55, 56? Dianabol was synthesized by CIBA in 1957 just after Anderson had become the strongest he ever was. Then after a dozen years came the bigboy, GRORM. No one even came close to big Paul in the sheer strength movements for 15 years. I mean exactly what I actually say.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
💪🏻
@@cols-muscle-power how did he gain strength 💪💪
@@AAKASHKUMAR-ij2yj he lifted heavy weight on big compound movements, ate good food,drank his milk and got plenty of rest 💪🏻
Mind you the guy was shorter than I am and yet he would still give modern strength athletes/monsters a run for their money.
Yes, absolutely 💪🏻
Paul Andersin listened to Country, Bubba
I guess he did 💪🏻
He did strength stunts, they were never measured by any proffesionals nor did anyone ever attemted his stunts immediately after he did, (not anyone at his level of the time anyway) so you have to rely on pics and stories. If anyone think this guy was stronger than say Kaz or Jon Paul (not even mentioning Big Z, Brian or Halfthor) you dont know anyting about brute strength.
You got to be kidding, or bumped your head real hard the morning you wrote this...
He's the last American to win a gold metal in weight lifting in the Olympics. You 🤡. Thats some stunt.
Paul was definitely one of the strongest men who ever lived, he didn't know what steroids were. But he must have drank a lot of milk on the Dairy farm he grew up on. And just think about this, if I remember right, he was only 5'6". In one of the earlier posts here, someone said he was 160 lbs, and lifted 306 lbs with one hand. Paul Anderson 160 lbs? Must have been in Grammer School... lol
I believe he was 5’9 when he was about 300lbs …. And 5’11 at 360lbs …. Yes your weight will determine your height! Lol
I’m 5’5 and at contest time I’m 215lbs at sub 4% and at 260lbs I’m closer to 5’7
I read an article at the time how he drank blood from hamburger the butchers ground up. Very dedicated . Became a reverend . Will watch video. Maybe it mentions it..
what were his records on deadlifts squat and other many more because there are stronger people 100 percent
Of course time moves on and records broken, that's the way things happen. Today's strongest athletes are stronger than yesterday's.
But in his day he was regarded as the strongest man who ever lived 💪🏻
@@cols-muscle-power yeah in his day what year btw
@@mozear8219 1956 Olympic champion 💪🏻
@@cols-muscle-power thats a long time ago
First man to squat over a 1000 lbs..first to press 500 overhead.. pre steroid era. Records now should have an asterisk beside them.. it’s not quite the same.. Cheers .😁
Pound for pound, there are lifters that are also very impressive, like lifting 3 times your weight in a clean and jerk, that’s incredible! That’s like Anderson lifting 1000 pounds in a clean and jerk! Like Delamare, pound for pound, he is the pocket Hercules! I’m sure that with practice he would have been able to do a 600 pounds clean and jerk! For a 160 pound guy, he lifted 306 pounds with one arm… not bad at all, and that record is official!…
He was 150 and the weight was 309, Several sources from the 1740s said Tom Topham at 196 did 378 with triple thick tendons.
With PEDS or without .? I believe ike Berger did 336 clean and jerk back in 1964 ..he weighed 130. As for one arm..Art Saxon did over 400 lbs, one arm .
On a beau dire...rien ne concurrencera Alexiev 1970 1980 ou Talhakadzé le Géorgien avec 225 kgs a l'arraché bras tendu et 267 kgs épaulé jeté...la c'est dynamique..dynamite..souplesse..coordination..maitrise de soi.
Paul was definitely one of the strongest men who ever lived, he didn't know what steroids were.
